UPDATE: New Languages, Studio Update & Physical Release
What's New
Hello everyone!
You may have noticed a small update go live today and this is to feature two new languages now supported - Ukrainian and Turkish, provided by the community. We'd like to give a huge thank you to Юрій "BANDIT", Сергій "SeTuR" and AiBell Game Localization for their localisation support!
Demo Now Available
We have had some requests from the community asking for the demo to be implemented into the game. The demo was built in an older version of Unity which is making it difficult to implement, however, we have uploaded the build into a separate branch of the game for you to download. To unlock the demo, please opt in to the beta by going to Steam Library > Right-Click Don't Knock Twice > Properties > BETAS and opt in to the "demo" beta. Once downloaded, you are prompted to launch the main game or the demo. Please note, you may need to restart Steam for the demo to be visible.
Dear Community...
Don't Knock Twice has had an incredible launch and has been viewed by the hundreds of thousands on YouTube/Twitch from the likes of DashieGames, LIRIK, Daz Games, POiiSED, CoryxKenshin, Kuplinov and more!
To anyone who has bought the game, reviewed it, streamed it or written about it then we'd just like to thank you for all your support and we hope to improve on this ambitious title to bring you even better games in the near future. We have a lot coming up and if you enjoyed Don't Knock Twice, whether you're a VR gamer or non-VR, you'll be in for a treat with something the team are working on right now.
We tend to post regular news on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram so feel free to follow us there to keep up to date with our studio news. You may get a glimpse of our unannounced titles!
Getting Physical
Finally, the following isn't PC related news but we thought we should share it anyway with the community here. We're proud to announce that Don't Knock Twice has been selected by a retail publisher to go physical on PS4/PSVR in shops worldwide, and will launch 20th October starting in Europe. The America launch will follow closely and pre-orders at GAME and Amazon are now available for Europe.
After a limited physical release of The Bunker on PS4, this is our first major retail edition and we couldn't be happier to bring more VR titles to the physical shelves. Currently, there's just not enough! Do you agree? We hope we can see more hit the shelves in 2018 and we hope to expand our retail editions to more platforms.
Keep an eye our for Don't Knock Twice in the shops, and if you do see it then take a picture and feel free to share it on our social channels listed above.
VR UPDATE: New Locomotion, Smooth Rotation, Head Offset
We're back with another (VR) update, this time featuring the some of the most requested features by the community!
[H1]What's New?[/H1]
Hand-Forward Locomotion (Oculus & Vive) - Our most requested feature was to implement an additional style of locomotion. Sometimes referred to as "Onward" locomotion, now you have the option to point the controller in the direction you want to walk. Simply rotate the controller to strafe left and right, whilst being able to look around freely.
Smooth Rotation (Oculus Locomotion Only) - We recognise not everyone gets a weak stomach when playing in VR so you now have the option to turn on smooth rotation! Warning: for people who easily get motion sickness we recommend sticking with the 30 degree snap rotation.
Head Offset (Oculus & Vive) - Now the Head Offset feature is fully operational. While this game was optimised at the correct height, some setups may be calibrated slightly differently so if you're having trouble reaching the floor, please head into the options to tweak this slider.
[H1]General Bug Fixes[/H1]
Oculus & Vive - Fixed an issue causing the "Read" hint not to appear on readable items for those with a standard controller.
Oculus & Vive - Fixed an issue causing your character to rotate whilst you rotate objects in VR with a standard controller.
[H1]Oculus Store[/H1]
For anyone who purchased the game via the Oculus Store, we have now updated the build there to include all of the features in today's update, the previous update and the initial locomotion update.
[H1]SALE[/H1]
Wondering if now is the time to pick the game up? You just have one week to go in the Steam launch sale!

Release Date Announced and Pre-Orders Coming Soon!
IT'S COMING...
Don't Knock Twice is coming 5th September to HTC Vive & Oculus Rift!
Non-VR version also coming 5th September on PC.
Pre-Orders coming 8th August.
Launch Trailer coming 8th August.
August is finally here and so expect to see a lot of updates this month! For those who have been following the game you might have noticed the date has been pushed back from the original release so thank you for waiting and we hope you're excited for the upcoming launch on 5th September. :DKT2:
There's a number of reasons why we had to push the date back including some hurdles that came with porting the VR and non-VR version to several platforms, all using multiple controller setups. We've also been working hard on ironing out any frame rate issues so you won't get any vomit inducing moments. Finally (for any console gamers out there) we will have one additional announcement to make very soon! :DKT4:
GET IT EARLY, FOR LESS!
Don't Knock Twice will be getting the pre-order treatment starting 8th August with a pre-order discount applied!
VR OR NON-VR... HAVE BOTH!
Can't decide which to choose? Or worried the game will be TOO scary in VR? Every downloadable copy of Don't Knock Twice will ship with both the VR and the Non-VR version. No separate store listings, no additional DLC needed.
ONE game, ONE download, ONE price, TWO versions.
IMMERSIVE VR HORROR
We're committed to giving you the best optimised VR horror visuals for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. We want you to be totally immersed in a haunting manor house environment for the ultimate horror experience. Check out the new screenshots and let us know what you think in the comments...

Don’t Knock Twice - Free VR Horror Demo is Out Now!!
One Knock To Wake Her From Her Bed, Twice To Raise Her From The Dead
Hello everyone! The Wales Interactive team are back with our most exciting project to date, the upcoming first-person horror game, Don’t Knock Twice.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/328590/
Why is this our most exciting project? Not only because we are working alongside the upcoming film starring Katie Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) but because we’re building the game specifically with AND without VR support from the very start.
So, what does this mean for the release? The game will launch on PC, PS4 and XO in Q1 2017 and we are lucky enough to be able to work with all three leading VR devices; HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and PlayStation VR. The VR demo is available right now for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
We made this short demo in VR to show off some of the interactivity features we are working with as well as to try and create a creepy, atmospheric experience in just one single space. The full game will take place in the same traditional manor with access to explore all depths of the environment. This is the very first time we have released a demo on Steam so we hope you all enjoy it!
Want to leave feedback with the developers? Or tell us about your experience? Leave your comments below, in the game forums or Tweet with @WalesInter #DontKnockTwice tagged.

Thanks!
