...and today, almost ten years after the first concept of "Into the Dark" was envisioned, we present you the FINAL UPDATE to Into the Dark.
After updating Father`s Island to DirectX 11 and PBR

we looked into Into the Dark again and did what was possible:
- Re-rendered all video cutscenes with better sound quality
- Improved the surface shading
- Added a post-credits scene
- Fixed the specularity artifacts
- Replaced the ugliest textures with 3D scanned surfaces
- Fixed all known sound bugs on weapons
- Reduced memory consumption by 20-25% and crashes by 60-80%
- Added additional fail-safes against script crashes
- Reconfigured the entire post processing pipeline
Important: Please uninstall and re-install, instead of updating, to have all changes take place!
Still, keep in mind that this is a game that was first released in 2012, based on a shooter construction kit that was in its core technology from 2003. So basically, we have 15 years old tech trying to look cool.
It is a little bit sad to say farewell to our most successful "own IP game", to the title that got us both harsh criticism, a Jim Sterling rant in full beauty - and several game of the year and other awards.
However, all hands on deck now for the sequel, "Into the Ice", which is heavily delayed, but still progressing. As a matter of fact, you get a little bit mroe of that now. We wanted to include a full playable slice, but severe AI problems did let us down. We included an AI test, in which you can now try to fight against two different AI moduels we are testing right now. let us know which one was harder to beat!
And here the content list for this final edition:
- Full "Into the Dark" game
- Including full lenght "Night of the Living Dead" in the ingame cinema
- Halloween Asylum level from 2015
- Into Ice Level 3 Work in progress from 2017
- Into the Ice AI test level from November 2018
- Savegame before outro in last slot
- Savegame before cutscene 1, one slot before the last one
Keep playing!
We will see each other again in....
