The Hidden Room
An important update on The Hidden Room - Pyramid
Due to "The Hidden Room - Pyramid" becoming bigger, we've decided to create a dedicated game for it. That's why "The Hidden Room - Pyramid" will no longer be a DLC, but it will be a separate game instead!
This is the link of the new store page:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2287130/The_Hidden_Room__Pyramid/
We still don't have a release date, but we will give it as soon as we're ready.
Starting today, all news related to The Hidden Room - Pyramid will be posted in its dedicated store page instead.
We thank you for your support and see you soon!

The future of The Hidden Room
as you might know, on June 13th version 1.4.2 was released for the game.
Version 1.4.2 is the last V1 version that the game will receive. We're currently focusing on the release of V2, that will be the last content patch for the game.
V2 will improve the overall experience with the game (includes QoL updates, and multiple improvements to UI and current map).
We're planning on releasing V2 this summer. This summer we will also release The Hidden Room - Pyramid.
We won't stop here, as the new game development has started (still in very early development).
We can't wait to share more info!
Thanks for all of your support given with V1 and see you in V2!
