- Dark Fracture – April 2025 Update - 24 April 2025
Greetings fearfolks! Did you miss us and the unsettling whispers from the Body Farm? After a longer silence than intended - we're back, and we have fresh news to share about Dark Fracture. The Shadows Behind the Silence We know our updates have become infrequent these past months, and for that, we want to be transparent. Development challenges and unexpected delays played a part, but another big reason for our quietness was a deliberate choice - we learned from past experience that revealing too much and too early can sometimes spoil the spine-chilling first encounter we aim to deliver. We’ve become cautious, carefully selecting what horrors to unveil, to make your eventual playthrough as impactful and terrifying as possible. But as we get closer to the finish line, we will reveal more for you to enjoy. What Lies Ahead? Despite these challenges, we've been making steady progress! Our te…

- Dark Fracture is back! - 8 September 2023
Greetings fearfolks, We stand on the precipice of darkness, a silence so profound it chills the soul. It's been a while since we whispered our last update, and we understand that your curiosity has been gnawing at you. But fear not, for this silence has been the crucible in which we're still forging Dark Fracture into a nightmare that will terrify you. The Art of Silence Why the silence, you ask? It's a question we've pondered deeply as we used to post updates way more often. Our dedication to this enigmatic silence change stems from a profound respect for your anticipation. We believe that sharing only when we have substantial, mind-bending horrors to reveal is our sacred duty. The Twisted Unveiling Now, the time has come to pierce the veil of silence.

- Development Blog #13 - Festivities and bugs. No, BUGS! - 10 May 2022
TL;DR version: A close look at our new insect enemy W.A.S.D. & FFF recap We’ve been featured in The MIX 10th Anniversary Online Showcase and the Intel Showcase at Hamburg Games Conference Upcoming events: Digital Dragons, Indie Live Expo Some say in a few years we’ll all be eating insects. Well, you may find that in Dark Fracture a role-reversal of sorts awaits you. We’ve been hard at work getting new models for the game and today we’re ready to show you one of them and take you on a journey through its creation. Skittering… will it ever stop?

- ANNOUNCING BLACK SUMMER REMIX COMPETITION WINNER! - 31 March 2022
The Spring is here and so is the conclusion to our Black Summer Remix Competition! As a reminder, BSC was a contest where we asked our fans to remix the song Black Summer by The Feardemic Orchestra created for the purpose of an easter egg in Dark Fracture. The top 3 finalists were each to receive a set of world-renowned GRADO GW100 wireless headphones worth 249 USD each, and the winner would additionally get their creation featured in Dark Fracture as well as on the official game soundtrack. Now, without further ado, we’d like to congratulate MUSLEY for taking first place in the competition, your remix really had that “it” factor that we were looking for in a winner and your reimagining of the song was really creative. We’d also like to congratulate the runner-ups, THE SEVEN WHORES OF THE APOCALYPSE (hope we spelled that right), and SIDDARTH, you guys did a fantastic job and we hope the…

- Development Blog #12 - The Underworld - 18 November 2021
TL;DR version: We talk about the 'Underworld' - what is it? An update on the latest developments A recap of the industry events we have attended over the past month and a half Imagination is a powerful tool: since the dawn of time, humanity has used it to bend the laws of logic and nature to escape reality in the only place in which none of them apply - the mind. But what if there is a place in which thought takes a physical, tangible shape? Today, we want to take into consideration such a possibility by talking to you about the most mysterious part of Dark Fracture! Welcome to the Underworld In the last couple of devblogs we have talked a lot about the body farm — an eerie but actually real kind of research facility, as well as the workplace of Dark Fracture protagonist, Edward. The body farm is not the sole environment Edward will explore in the full release of Dark Fracture. Those of…

- Development Blog #10 - 31 August 2021
TL;DR version: We discuss the future of NPCs in Dark Fracture A pledge for higher quality: new animations, new models, motion capture, and lipsync Prologue localization is on the way One of the challenges of making a first-person horror adventure as an indie developer is not falling into the trap of becoming "just another indie horror on Steam". We believe that the solution relies on two keywords: quality and authenticity. How did we plan to implement them? Let's start explaining from the latter. Have you ever wondered why the protagonists of many indie first-person horror games never actually meet other human characters during their adventures? The reason is simple: humans are complicated beings to represent digitally. While the appearance and behavior of fantastical creatures can be shaped in any way the developer desires, a human that doesn't behave or appear as such inevitably ends…
- New Dark Fracture gameplay teaser! - 15 July 2021
A long time ago, when a-certain-virus-that-shall-not-be-named didn’t exist and physical events were still a thing, game developers like us used to fly around the world and showcase their games in front of crowds.

One of such events is PAX Online, which happens to have selected Dark Fracture as one of the winners for their Indie Showcase! To celebrate the occasion, we have created a new gameplay teaser that is available NOW for you to watch on YouTube, as well as on the storefront of Dark Fracture.
