- Gravewatch Development Update - 31 March 2026
Hey everyone,It’s been a while since the last update, so I wanted to give you a quick status update on Gravewatch. Development is still ongoing, just at a slower pace for now. I’ve been focusing on another project to ensure that Gravewatch gets the time and resources it deserves to reach its full potential. The game is not cancelled, and I fully plan to return to it after this current phase. Here are a few recent in-game shots: In the meantime, I’ve been working on a fast-paced sci-fi FPS called Project RAZE, which will be getting a demo soon. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, feel free to check it out when it drops. Thank you all for your patience and continued support; it really means a lot.More updates on Gravewatch will come as development ramps back up.– Michal
- The Biggest Demo Update is Here! - 29 September 2025
Hey everyone, With the crowdfunding campaign launching soon, I’m thrilled to announce that the largest update yet for the Gravewatch demo is now live! I’ve taken your feedback to heart and made major improvements to gameplay, visuals, and performance to give you a better look at how Gravewatch is shaping up. Here’s everything that’s new:🔧 Completely Reworked Healing SystemManual healing is gone! Health now regenerates automatically when out of combat, making for a smoother, less frustrating experience. The old healing syringes have been replaced with Epinephrine Shots, which provide a temporary speed boost, perfect for quick getaways.💀 New Death Animations & Cutscene ImprovementsDeath has never looked so… dramatic. I’ve added new death animations and enhanced several cutscenes to better reflect the tone and quality of the full game.🏚️ Reworked EnvironmentsMultiple areas have been rew…
- Gravewatch Delayed to 2026 | Crowdfunding Starts Sept 29 - 15 September 2025
Gravewatch is Delayed to 2026 💔Hey everyone,I’m sorry to announce that Gravewatch is being delayed to 2026.This wasn’t an easy decision. As a solo developer, I’ve been funding the game out of pocket using my disability pension. That’s helped keep the project alive, but my resources have run completely dry. Without that final bit of funding, I can’t meet the original release window. I’ve also been dealing with recurring health issues, which have pushed development back even further.That said, interest in Gravewatch continues to grow, and I want to deliver the experience this game truly deserves.To help make that happen, I’ll be launching a crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit starting September 29. The more we raise, the sooner I can finish the game without cutting corners.👉 If you'd like to support the game, you can follow the campaign now to get notified when it goes live: https://www.…

- News about localization! - 7 March 2025
With the help of the Discord community, friends, and a couple of people from the internet, I was able to translate my Steam page into many different languages! - Serbian | NECROSHVDE - French | MJ Guenther - German | Natascha "Eclipse" Gerber - Dutch | BurggraafTranslationworks - Spanish | Yuri Tashima - Arabic | Ali Abdallah Alali Alsaleh - Turkish | severnxd - Chinese (simplified) | Georgechoo1990 - Ukranian | Nastyuaya - Russian | Nastyuaya - Japanese | Martin Limburský - Portuguese | freedomrun I will now monitor each language and, based on its performance on Steam, consider localizing the full game. The more wishlists/views come from a country, the more likely it is that the full game will be localized in that country's language. So, if you speak one of the listed languages and want to increase the chance of a full localization, then don't hesitate to share Gravewatch with other pl…

- NEW TRAILER - 9 December 2024
It is finally time to show, what I've been cooking up for the last couple of months! This is your first glimpse of what you can expect from the full game. The game is still far from finished, but it is slowly starting to take shape into something incredible. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting me from the beginning, and if you haven't tried the demo yet, I highly recommend doing so.
- Massive Demo update - 4 November 2024
As I am slowly working on the full game, I have gathered a lot of valuable feedback from the demo. I have used this feedback to, not only improve the full game but also the demo, and now that the "Czech & Slovak" game week is around the corner, I figured it would be a great time to upload a new, fresh version of the demo. Major parts of the demo have been reworked to closer resemble what you can expect from a full game. - Major parts of the demo have been completely reworked - Added difficulty settings - Better performance, especially on low-end PCs - MANY quality of life changes - MANY bug fixes and so much more... This should be one of the last major updates for the demo, so I would like to thank everyone for your feedback and hope to see you in the full game!

- Biggest demo hotfix yet - 7 August 2024
Just deployed biggest demo hotfix yet! This should fix vast majority of remaining problems in the demo. - Reworked interaction system - Fixed a bug that could prevent a player from finishing the car scene - Encounter with Casper and his dog should now be a little bit easier - Readjusted the location/number of valuables that have to be collected around the graveyard - Mouse sensitivity can now be correctly adjusted - Small terrain fixes - Flashlight now looks much better and more realistic - A couple of minor bug fixes
- Quick hotfix - 31 July 2024
It's been just 24 hours since the demo's release and so far, I'm surprised that everything is working as intended with no reported crashes or game-breaking bugs. However, there have been a couple of small issues that should be resolved with today's hotfix: - Fixed an issue where opening a menu while interacting with an object could bug out the text on the screen - Multiple fixes to how the player character interacts with readable objects in the world - Fixed a couple of spelling mistakes in both languages (Czech and English)
- Demo just launched! - 30 July 2024
Gravewatch Demo just launched and I hope everything works as intended. If not, make sure to send in a bug report through the official Discord. I will be checking every single one of your bug reports/suggestions so I can fix any problems with the Demo. My first and biggest priority will be game-breaking bugs/optimization so that the demo and final release run smoothly. Thank you for trying out the demo and don't forget to wishlist Gravewatch, so you don't miss out on the full release! ♡
