  • When Night Comes, "The one about better performance" - 20 December 2023

    Happy December Everyone! Hope all is going well! Time for the next big update to the game. This update is geared towards performance. I have spent the last few months isolating issues that were creating an inconsistent gaming experience. So let's break it all down and how the game will run better with 2.05! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------Occlusion Culling------------------- https://imgur.com/a/LRNHyyI Starting with what this is and why it is needed. Occlusion culling is a process that prevents items from rendering that are completely hidden from view (occluded). The game has always had this in from launch. I went back and rebuilt the Occlusion Culling map for both levels and have since made the view radius from the player tighter. This means, There is less stuff being rendered at a time and performance co…

  • When Night Comes Update 2.04 - 9 August 2023

Here is the patch notes! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patch Notes: -Fixed Lighting Issues in the Prologue level. -Removed vent sections from the prologue, You can just open the door normally to get to the laundry room.

  • WNC Developer Update - 1 July 2023

    Hello everyone! I wanted to come on here and give a quick developer update. Thank you for taking the time to play the game. I understand it’s very frustrating not to be able to progress through the prologue. So, I just wanted to give an update on some upcoming changes in the next update to the game. Some key frustrations were with the physics for the boxes to get into the vent. In the upcoming update, the vent and the boxes are going to be removed. Instead, it’s just going to be a streamlined process to get to the next area. I believe this will alleviate some of the frustration and issues players were having at this level. Some more general updates are in the introduction to the Nightmare Level. There is a current bug that I am working on fixing. If the player moves too fast, the main text for what to do with the statues doesn’t appear and some players are frustrated, not understanding…

  • Release Notes - 14 June 2023

    As we near the release of When Night Comes! Here are a few known issues to keep in mind. Known Issues: -Sometimes when pressing "Q" to examine items, it will not actually examine. -Remapping the Examine key back to "Q" in settings will resolve the issue. -On the Nightmare Level, If the player is moving too fast it is possible for the player to miss the main objective text on Screen. -The pickup feature of the Statues are incorrectly labeled as "Examine" instead of "Pickup" -The altar sometimes requires specific placement of the statues on the top of the table to progress. -The hidden achievement "This Carpet is Nice" is being incorrectly awarded to all players at the start of the game. Have fun getting it easy! -The Examine icon "Q" is sideways Developer Note: The notes in the game are intended to be blank. This is a creative choice. Examine the note and press "E" to read what is on it.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

When Night Comes's USD price history spans from Sep 24, 2026 to Sep 24, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

When Night Comes's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 24, 2026 through Sep 24, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records When Night Comes at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
