At Dead Of Night news & patch notes

English language fix for Harvey's sword text. Long overdue sorry!

Thanks very much to Marcin Tłumaczenia for the Polish localisation now added! The French localisation has been done mostly by machine (DeepL), if you're a French speaker please let me know if you find any glaring craziness!

Turkish localisation has now been added courtesy of the Forever Ekibi - thank you to them!

Small update to allow you to open left/right drawers with the bumpers, when using the controller.

Chinese localisation is now live! Select languages in the bottom right corner - it's the last one before you cycle back to English, as it's the latest entry!

Russian localisation has now been added to the game - thanks to TDoT for all their hard work!

I'm currently trying out Steam Cloud saves so the game can run on services such as GeForce Now (which require cloud saves to be enabled). If you'd like to try this version (and check for any bugs please!) the version is currently on a Beta branch. To get it, right-click on the game in your library, go to Properties then click BETAS on the left, then where it says 'none' select 'steam_cloud - Steam Cloud Version.' The game should save both locally and to the cloud, both are time stamped so when loading your current game it'll pick the most recently saved, which will then become the default next time you save again. As far as I can tell it's working OK, but obviously please let me know if you find anything wrong. Please don't try this if you're still playing through your first game!

This update adds Italian localisation and corrections to the Spanish and German versions.

Having to close the instruction messages you get when you first start playing the game (by moving over them and dismissing them) is confusing people, so you can now close the messages just by clicking anywhere. Hope this helps!

Now added German subtitles plus a manual save option, to save wherever you currently are (unless you're unsafe). Also automatically saves the current game state on exit.

A bug some people experienced of the scrying mirror not working after being whacked in the lift or on the stairs has now been fixed.

There was a bug some people were experiencing where after being whacked and waking in a room, sometimes after leaving the room movement was restricted to left/right rotations only. This should now be fixed.

For anyone who hasn't seen Hugo but should have, this was a bug that's now fixed with the latest update.

Just fixed a bug introduced in the previous update - it was causing Dr Bose not to appear. This update also fixes the problem some people were having of seeing Dr Bose and / Or Harvey in their first appearances multiple times.

Controller support has now been added for the 64bit version (32bit gamepad version is unavailable unfortunately). Also there is now an 'EXTREME' mode added (along with achievements). This is a much harder version of the game, in which Jimmy steals almost all of your possessions every time he hits you, as well as hiding the ghost detector in more places. The clues are also less obvious and more in keeping with the original concept. There are also a few bug fixes, including a fix for a situation some people were experiencing of seeing scenes repeated (caused by saving and loading at certain points in the game).

Some people are experiencing stuttering video when text overlays in some situations - this is now (mostly) fixed.

I've made a big change to the scrying mirror clues to make them MUCH easier and far less ambiguous to follow. However it means a re-upload of the main video file so apologies for this if you're mid-way through the game and now have a 4gb re-download, but there was no other way of achieving this. It's definitely worth it though!!

I've now improved the hints you get from the scrying mirror to include all possible next locations and / or pairings, along with the ghosts they refer to, so hopefully this will clear up some of the confusion. Also achievements have been fixed yet again (they weren't showing up on the stats page), though you may still get some notifications of past achievements before they're added to the list. Thanks for your patience. Thanks to anthanddi for that bug list - I'll be adding more fixes soon.

Apologies to those who have had the wrong achievements triggered - this should be fixed now.

Listening to players' experiences there are now some updates to the game to make it easier to play and allow you to progress more quickly. You now always keep the scrying mirror after being attacked and at first Jimmy will let you keep most of your keys and your compass, though as you progress he'll steal more and more. Also Jimmy will now always put the spirit detector in the first floor store room by the stairs, along with all his other ghost hunting paraphernalia. We're also currently adding a Spanish language option, which will hopefully go live in the next few days.
