So it seems as though a lot of new people are discovering HorrorVale for the first time thanks to our recent Launch Trailer. It also seems as though a lot of returning people who discovered the game back in 2019 are finding out the game is releasing through it! Not only are people wishlisting the game in droves, but they are also buying it, downloading it, and playing it. Therefore, we felt it necessary to clarify some things about how the full game's release will actually work. First off, the full game is releasing [u][b]October 1st, 2024[/b][/u]. The build available on Steam RIGHT NOW if you buy it and download it is actually a very old 2019 build. Not only is it very outdated, but the game ends once you complete Act 1. It is actually SO outdated, that saves from that version won't even be functional with the full version. As stated, the full version will release on October 1st. If you have the game in your library or recently bought it, this means that the full version will download automatically for you on that date. Now you might be confused as to why you can buy the game and download it if it's not actually out yet...? Well, if you want to read further on that, check out [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/1114650/announcements/detail/3713838445859060565?snr=2___]This[/url] post we made last year explaining it. By the way, we should also note that we will not be doing a midnight release. You can expect the full game to drop around 8AM EST on October 1st. The reason for this is so regardless of what time zone you live in, the release date on Steam will be listed as October 1st. If we found out it said September 30th in some countries it would upset us. Is this a strange thing to be bothered by? Maybe. "But", you might be asking... "How will I know I'm playing the right version!?" Have no fear, it is actually rather simple. All you have to do is look at the title screen when you boot the game.

As stated previously, saves from it will NOT work with the full game and it will end after Act 1. However...

So keep this in mind! The recent attention and wishlists we've gotten have been wonderful, and we can't wait to invite all of you into HorrorVale on October 1st!
