Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Dark Tidings Online is mainly being created by one person in their free time with the help of commissioned artists. Due to the nature of a server based online game, it is impossible to fully test the game without exposing it to actual players. We need your help in finding any remaining bugs and providing feedback on game play and quests.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently we expect the early access to last around two years until Q1 2029”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Planned features for the Full version:

* The capital city which serves as a central hub
* New areas with new, higher level mobs and dungeons
* New Classes / Skill Trees

Features we'd like to add eventually
* Guild System
* Player Housing
* Crafting”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version encompasses the fully explorable first region with three playable classes (Town Guard, Church Acolyte or Mage Apprentice), 30+ Quests and the first dungeon. The Early Access version ends when you reach the Capital City.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price once when we leave early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will listen to any feedback players have and potentially incorporate that feedback when developing updates. Any discovered bugs and issues will of course be addressed.”

Respecting Your Time

There will never be dailies, login bonuses, time gates or other types of so called FOMO. Feel free to come back whenever new content is added.

No Micro-transactions or loot boxes

There will never be any form of pay-to-win or other in-game advantages for sale. All progress has to be unlocked in game.

No Generative AI

All assets (both visual and audio) have been created by real humans with no generative AI involved anywhere in the tool chain. All quests and conversations are hand-written. We firmly believe that if you can't be bothered to create your content, it is immoral to ask players to invest their precious time into interacting with it.

Stop Killing Games

We support the Stop Killing Games initiative. If the official servers are ever shutdown, we we will release all the tools necessary to run your own server and add the ability to host a game with friends right out of the main menu.
