- Vote for There Is No Light in the 2022 Steam Awards! - 22 November 2022
Greetings! The Steam Awards are already here, and we’d like to ask if you could take a minute to vote for us in the Best Game You Suck At category. Despite There Is No Light trying to be fair, sometimes it’s indeed harsh on players - there’s just so much to keep track of: different weapons you have to get used to, varying enemy patterns and timings, hordes of demons and truly tough bosses. But that’s one of the game’s cornerstones and part of its charm, so we think we're officially allowed to shoot for this category! By the way, we're now working on the biggest combat update since the release, and we'd like to hear your thoughts about it! If you're willing to try it before the official release, please sign up in this form. The build is ready and we'll contact you very soon for providing the access. Thank you!

Greetings! Our team wants to remind you that only three days are left until There is No Light's PC release! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1132980/There_Is_No_Light/ Pre-purchase now with a bigger discount than on the launch day and with an exclusive bonus! In today's update, we'd like to lift the curtain a bit more regarding the early stages of development of There is No Light, its game mechanics and how it evolved over the years. The game has changed its look three times, from the prototype to the final visual style. The earliest version of the game dates back to December 2018. It was at that time that the prototype was developed, which looked like this: I think this version was the closest to "there's no light here", even compared to the current one. Interesting fact: in the prototype, the hero could kick objects and shoot with his hand. Even at that stage, the hero could accumul…
