- HorrorVale Version 1.1.5 Progress Report - 27 December 2025
Hello! So, 2025 is coming to an end soon...Truth be told, we wanted to put out a HorrorVale patch before then, but there's been a few kinks here and there and it's turning into a bigger update than previously thought.Not to imply that there's a bunch of new content, but let's briefly go over what we're working on.Greater Controller SupportWe're currently working on expanding controller support for the game, including D-Pad movement by default. We've got expanded controller support going for Xbox controllers, and are looking into integrating Dualshock controllers as well. Bug FixesWe're working on a more permanent solution to a well documented crash that can be encountered in the game when using the moves of certain characters like Juno. The crash type typically requires such a specific sequence of events that most players will never see the crash, and it's also difficult to replicate. S…

- HorrorVale Version 1.1 is LIVE! - 25 March 2025
The largest (and potentially last) HorrorVale patch is here! We've got a ton of bug fixes, quality of life, and brand new features to explore! So, what are the biggest changes here? Dream Colosseum In this brand new feature, Alice can take a rest in her bed to visit the Dream Colosseum, a mysterious place in her dreams that allow her to fight Bosses she's fought previously! These fights are much tougher than their original encounters, and you might find some new surprises in them as well. To unlock the Dream Colosseum, you first have to complete the main story. You also need to find and defeat every Secret Boss if you want to be able to complete the Colosseum. You can re-fight these bosses as many times as you want, and can even try to beat your turn hi-score! Moments & New Dialogue Tired of your optional party members acting rather mute during critical moments? We've added tons of bran…

The Full Version of HorrorVale is now LIVE on Steam!!! Thank you for all your support after all these years, and we hope you have fun!!!
- HorrorVale Full Version Explanation/Clarification - 18 September 2024
So it seems as though a lot of new people are discovering HorrorVale for the first time thanks to our recent Launch Trailer. It also seems as though a lot of returning people who discovered the game back in 2019 are finding out the game is releasing through it! Not only are people wishlisting the game in droves, but they are also buying it, downloading it, and playing it. Therefore, we felt it necessary to clarify some things about how the full game's release will actually work. First off, the full game is releasing October 1st, 2024. The build available on Steam RIGHT NOW if you buy it and download it is actually a very old 2019 build. Not only is it very outdated, but the game ends once you complete Act 1. It is actually SO outdated, that saves from that version won't even be functional with the full version. As stated, the full version will release on October 1st. If you have the gam…

- -Town Notice - Wishlist Rally Update! - 27 June 2024
October of last year we announced we were running a "Wishlist Rally", encouraging people to Wishlist the game to reach various goals. Now that we're nearing the game's release, let's see how we're doing... Right now we're sitting at 2,670 Wishlists, which means we've reached our first goal, the "Webs Prologue Comic". This comic will feature the bounty hunter Webs McGregor as he faces off against the Creepy menace in a short but sweet prequel story that'll be releasing sometime prior to the game's release. The next major goal on the meter is the "Mothman Story DLC". As it would be officially known as "HorrorVale: Act M", This side story will feature Mothman and his crew of cryptids as they battle their way through Creepies and more. Taking place concurrently to the main story in "HorrorVale", "Act M" will allow you to experience the story from a new perspective to learn more about it and…
- Your Date of Death Has Been Decided - 24 May 2024
Greetings, creatures of the night. As you can probably reasonably assume from the title and the accompanying image, the new Release Date for HorrorVale has been revealed! HorrorVale, the complete and full experience will release on Steam, Itch, and Gamejolt on October 1st, 2024. "Oh... So the delay ended up just being about a year after all" And... Yeah. Kinda. Last year as we got closer to our original release date of October 10th, the reality of just how much left we had to do really set in, and we had no choice but to announce the game's delay. We promised that we would not reveal a new release date until we could be absolutely confident in a new one. And now we are. In previous Progress Reports we have thrown around "potential" windows of when it might release. Q1 2024, then Q2 2024, and ultimately this is the date we've decided on. In truth, it is actually more time than we need to…

- HorrorVale Bulletin: A Price Appears!? - 10 October 2023
Greetings our Spooky Scary Citizens of HorrorVale! This is Dustin Andrews, Lead Designer of HorrorVale with some important updates regarding the release of our game on Steam. Some of you may or may not have noticed there's now a Price listed on the Steam page if you don't already own the game. Or maybe you just now learned of it from this post. Either way, you're probably confused, so let's get the big questions out of the way. Q. Does this mean the game is released!? A. No, it does not. In fact, if you haven't already seen our various posts about it on Steam and other platforms, the game has unfortunately been delayed until an undetermined (but soon) date. Q. Wait, does this mean I have to pay to play the demo now!? A. If you don't already own it... Yes. The build available here is the same one it's always been, so if someone wants to play it, they'll need to buy the game. This isn't s…
