Dark Hours is the co-op survival horror game from Piece of Cake Studios and Kepler Ghost, where a robbery gone wrong turns into a nightmare. Released on October 24, 2024, the game has already drawn strong praise with Very Positive reviews on Steam — and with new content on the way, the horror is only just beginning.
A Heist Interrupted
The setup is simple: you and up to three teammates are thieves, ready to pull off the perfect heist. But as the job unfolds, a supernatural event traps you in the building with a malevolent entity. Suddenly, the mission shifts — forget looting, survival becomes your only objective.
Dark Hours thrives on this shift from crime to terror. As you explore procedurally generated environments, you’ll juggle sneaking past security, managing your equipment, and making desperate choices when the entity closes in.
Features That Raise the Stakes
Dark Hours mixes traditional heist mechanics with survival horror, giving every decision weight.
- Co-Op Survival – Play solo or with up to 3 friends, relying on teamwork to survive.
- Stealth & Strategy – Make too much noise while looting and you’ll draw the monster’s attention.
- Dynamic Environments – Each playthrough is unique, featuring procedurally generated building layouts, locked doors, and randomized item placements.
- Equipment & Items – Lockpicks, hacking devices, crowbars, and more shape your approach.
- Replayability – Escalating difficulty and three modes (Normal, Hard, Nightmare) ensure no two nights feel the same.
And of course, there’s the thief’s code — or lack of one. You can help your teammates carry loot… or quietly stuff their bags so they make more noise and attract the monster instead. In the world of Dark Hours, survival justifies any action.
New PvP Mode Announced
Piece of Cake Studios recently revealed a brand-new PvP mode coming to Dark Hours. In this twist, thieves are divided into two rival teams competing to complete the heist first while evading the entity. Rival players can steal loot, lay traps, or even lure the monster toward the opposing crew. It’s a brutal mix of cooperation and sabotage, raising the stakes for every match.
Darkness Ahead
With its combination of co-op horror, heist mechanics, and procedural survival, Dark Hours offers something both terrifying and fun for players looking for their next multiplayer scare. And with new modes on the way, the night is only getting darker.
