Being a criminal is tough enough without adding supernatural powers to the mix. That's the core theme of the new co-op heist game Dark Hours - you're robbing a place and suddenly the lights go out and something starts stalking you. Imagine Phasmophobia combined with Payday 3 and you'll probably understand what's going on here.


Currently, Dark Hour has launched a free trial prologue on Steam, and players can experience it now. The official version of the game will be released in September.

There’s nothing quite as scary as walking deep into a closed building at night with shadows looming around every corner. It’s all the more terrifying in Hour of Darkness, as it turns something that was just a fantasy into something real, and it’s out to get you. You can join up to three other players in this co-op game, trying to get in and out of the game with pockets full of loot while avoiding a stalking monster that’s thirsty for your blood.

Of course, you're playing as a thief, so it's not all friendly cooperation, teaming up against your enemies. It's every man for himself here, so while you may need your friends, and they may need you, no one is guaranteed to get out alive, so you'd better take care of yourself. You can hide and wait for the daybreak to safely pass the night, or you can rush out and grab all the loot you can, even from your fellow criminals.

Dark Hours isn't out yet, but before it's released on Steam, developer Piece of Cake has released a free prologue that lets players try out the game's controls. It only has one map - the auction house - but it contains everything you need to get a feel for how the full game works.

This seems to be very popular with players, and more and more players are starting to experience this game. Since its launch on Thursday, July 18, the number of concurrent online players of "Dark Hour: Prologue" has increased every day. As of press time, the game's 24-hour peak concurrent online number is 3,611, which is an increase from the previous 24-hour peak concurrent online number of 3,225. In addition, the game's reviews on the Steam platform are also quite good, with an 80% favorable rating.
