The hunt is about to begin.

We are excited to announce that NightSpawn is entering its Steam Playtest phase, and we are inviting players to help us shape the future of the game. This stage will allow the community to experience the current build while providing feedback that will directly influence development.

Access to the playtest will be granted in waves. This allows us to monitor performance, collect feedback, and steadily expand the player base as improvements are made. If you sign up and do not get immediate access, do not worry. Additional testers will be invited regularly as the playtest progresses.

What is Included in the Initial Playtest

The playtest begins with a solid foundation of content:

  • 2 Monsters

  • 2 Maps

  • 8 Investigators

Players will be able to experience the core NightSpawn gameplay while we begin testing the next phase of content.

Content Being Introduced During the Playtest

Throughout the playtest we will be introducing new features and expanding the roster. This includes:

  • 2 New Monsters

  • 2 New Maps

  • 8 Additional Investigators

  • New abilities

  • New skills

  • Additional gameplay systems

These updates will roll out gradually as we test balance, performance, and player feedback.

New Game Modes Being Tested

The playtest will also introduce additional ways to experience NightSpawn:

4v1 Mode Play as the monster and hunt investigators, or work together as a team to survive the night.

2v2 Mode A competitive team format where coordination and strategy will determine who survives.

These modes are an important part of the playtest and will evolve based on community feedback.

Why Your Feedback Matters

The Steam Playtest is more than early access to the game. It is an opportunity for players to help refine mechanics, balance monsters and investigators, and improve the overall experience.

Every match played and every piece of feedback helps us improve NightSpawn before its full release.

The Road to Full Launch

Once testing and feedback are complete, NightSpawn will transition out of the playtest phase and move toward full launch.

At release we will also be preparing additional content, including:

  • A 5th Monster

  • A new Map

  • 4 additional Investigators

The playtest is only the beginning, and we are excited to build NightSpawn together with the community.

Join the Playtest

If you are interested in joining the hunt, make sure to request access to the NightSpawn Steam Playtest. Invitations will be sent in waves as we expand testing.

Gather your team, sharpen your instincts, and prepare to face what waits in the dark.

The night is coming.
