We are honestly speechless.

Just a few days ago, we celebrated hitting 5,000 players. We thought that was the peak. We thought things would calm down.

We were wrong.

Over the weekend, the Necrowhisper demo exploded. We have officially crossed 10,000 Demo Owners! What started as a small indie test has turned into a global survival event.

The Investigations are Spreading Globally

Looking at our data this morning was a shock. We are seeing massive waves of new detectives joining from all over the world.

A special shoutout to our incredible new communities in Turkey, Poland, Slovakia, and the USA! You are dominating the leaderboards and finding secrets we didn't even know existed.

To everyone streaming the game on TikTok and YouTube: WE SEE YOU. The clips of you panicking during the "Genre-Shift" are fueling our development team. Keep them coming!

The "Damage" Report (Stats)

You guys have been busy. Here is what 10,000 players looks like in numbers:

  • 10,000+ Unique Demo Owners.

  • 4,200+ Wishlists (Thank you!).

  • 750+ Concurrent Players hunting simultaneously at peak times.

  • Infinite screams recorded.

"I haven't played yet, what is this?"

If you are new here: Necrowhisper is not your standard ghost-hunting game.

  1. Investigate: Use forensic tools to find the killer.

  2. Survive: Mid-game, the genre shifts. You lose your weapons. You are hunted.

  3. Betray (Optional): Got possessed? Switch your soul with your friend!

IMPORTANT: What's Next?

With this massive influx of players, our priority is POLISH. We have heard your feedback on P2P stability and AI behavior. We are working around the clock to make the experience smoother for the Full Release. And we’re creating more ghosts, maps, and cases. Are you ready?

Help us reach the next milestone! If you enjoyed the Demo, please hit that Wishlist button. It is the single best way to support an indie studio.

Need a Squad?

This game is brutal solo. You need a team (or bait). Join our rapidly growing Discord server to find lobbies, report bugs, and share your best clips. We are active there every day!
