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?

“Hunters In The Dark is already playable and fun, but we want to shape the final game together with players before the full release.
Because the game is built around fast multiplayer rounds, different playstyles, AI difficulty, map generation, items, and balancing, real player feedback is extremely valuable.

Early Access lets us see how people actually play: which modes they enjoy most, which arenas feel best, which items create the funniest moments, and where the game needs more polish. We also want to keep adding content while making sure each update improves the core experience rather than just adding more things.

Early Access gives us the chance to expand the game with new skins, themes, modes, balancing changes, and quality-of-life improvements based on the community’s feedback.

Our goal is to make Hunters In The Dark a stronger, more polished, and more replayable party game with the help of the players who join us early.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Currently we plan to stay in EA for approximately 6 months to a year.”

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

“Game features and design will be shaped based on player feedback and we look forward to everyone being involved. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Hunters In The Dark Early Access will consist of the following features.
* Local (1–6 players) or online (up to 4 players) multiplayer
* Flexible input — combine keyboard and gamepads any way you want
* Hybrid procedural generation — a fresh layout but familiar look for every level
* 3+ level themes — Dungeon, Fairy Forest, Red Zone, and more to come
* 2 game modes — reach 20 points or score the most points in a 2-minute hunt
* 1-20 hunt matches — win hunts to win the match
* Dynamic AI difficulty — start easy or hard, beat bots, dip into Nightmare+ if you dare
* Family-friendly chaos — no blood, just cartoon screams and torchlit panic
* Interactive elements - things to push, break, press, and be squashed by”

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

“Yes”

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

“We currently support our players and take feedback both in the store community hub and the Utopia Machina Discord.

Smash barrels, pick up potions, and hope the magic is in a good mood.

You might run faster, lose your dash, light up the maze —

freeze your opponents, and more. Some help you. Some make everything worse.

Over a dozen of opportunities to change the course of the match.

WATCH OUT FOR BONES & APPLES

Eat or break them to sway the match in your favor.
