Amidst the Darkness

Removal of Amidst The Darkness from Steam
Notice to all players:-

We have taken the decision to remove Amidst The Darkness from the store effective immediately.

Though this project was not an Early Access title and was marketed as a short playable concept of a psychological horror, the original idea was to expand on the idea through chapters and free updates. Unfortunately, development has not continued as originally planned and it has instead been agreed that the project is to be removed from commercial sale and taken over by a local team as a hobby and education project with no further commercial release.

Secondary to the above was that Amidst The Darkness does not fit in with our typical development style, nor catalog - and for this reason, it was felt that we could not expand on the concept as we intended and perhaps as the concept deserved.

Amidst The Darkness will remain playable in the libraries of anyone that has previously purchased the title, however the option to purchase the game will be removed from Steam.
