Six years ago, on February 6th, 2020, we released Survive the Blackout.

To be honest, we never expected to be working on the game six years later. Yet here we are. What started as our vision of a narrative survival journey through a world plunged into darkness found its way into the hands of thousands of players. Over the years, we've received countless messages, bug reports, suggestions and words of encouragement from the community. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on this journey.

To celebrate the game's 6th anniversary, we've prepared the Survive the Blackout Anniversary Edition update focused on polishing stories, improving accessibility and making the experience better.
