- 100k Wishlists reached & we’re part of Steam Next Fest - 15 June 2026
Hello there, To say that our game has over 100,000 Steam Wishlists is absolutely nuts. For an independent developer, that number is genuinely hard to wrap your head around; it means that our game has hit a positive nerve with people and they’re excited to see it come out. That’s really flattering, motivating, and frankly, it puts a little bit of pressure too - that's 100k people waiting for our game to release! So thank you for giving us support, wishlisting our game, being active on our Discord, X, Steam, and just being the coolest community around. You guys rule, and don’t let anyone say otherwise. If they do, we’ll send Legs after them. The other big news is that PHASE ZERO is taking part in the June Steam Next Fest. Our current demo has been updated with a few new quality of life improvements, with most of them being a result of your feedback and suggestions. So if you haven’t alrea…
- A Thank You and a Sneak Peek at PHASE ZERO’s Future - 9 January 2026
Hello everyone, As we entered 2026, it’s hard not to feel a bit nostalgic for the year that’s gone - and to think about what this one brings. To us, this whole last year has been one heck of a feel-good story. A year that has gone waaaay above our expectations. When we announced our game all the way back in May, we never expected to get where we are today. We had PHASE ZERO make its grand reveal at The MIX online showcase. Our demo began with an IGN exclusive, it was played and mentioned by some of our idols, we got nominated for awards, and we had the gaming and horror press and creators embrace our game with open arms. Absolute madness. And, the best part is, that’s not all. The biggest surprises came from you, the players. There were over 20,000 of you who played our demo, with, at the time of writing, a 98% Positive Steam rating based on nearly 400 reviews. PHASE ZERO so far has als…
- 65k Wishlists and Our First Game Awards Nominations - 30 June 2025
Hello there, It’s hard to put into words the feeling that we’ve all shared ever since we revealed PHASE ZERO three months ago. Since our announcement, we’ve received tons and tons of positive comments about our game and our demo was played by thousands of people from all over the world (shout out to the one person from Curacao who played the demo!). And to see that we’ve reached over 65,000 Steam Wishlists in just under three months is… nuts. So thank you to all of you who played our demo, left us comments, for the Overwhelmingly Positive demo rating, for joining our Discord (come join if you haven’t - it’s fun!), making crazy-cool fan art, and wishlisting our ode to classic survival horror. You all are the best. We also had another pleasant surprise. Last month, PHASE ZERO was nominated in three categories at the PIXEL AWARDS EUROPE (love the capitalised title, just btw). Our game got…
