Here’s a short and sweet FAQ on the Witchfire trailer featured at the Summer Game Fest 2022! Wait, what trailer? This trailer! We suggest watching it in glorious 4K. Is the Early Access version exclusive to the Epic Games Store? Yes. As some of you know, we’ve been working with Epic since 2007. It all […]
As promised last week… …here’s the update on Witchfire. We will discuss the release date, a certain core feature of the game, and the fandom. And then it’s time for a fat Q&A session, the biggest we’ve ever done. There are some juicy bits of info in that section, indeed. A ROGUELITE Armed with strange […]
A few days ago, we held the very first playtest of Witchfire. We invited a couple of industry friends – easier this way, they know what a work-in-progress build is and won’t be distracted by missing textures or placeholders sounds – to our studio to play the game for an hour or two. Does this […]

It took them five years to […]
In part one, I talked about the birth of Come Midnight. This here second, final part is about its life and death. Time to open the floodgates and see what we’ve managed to do during the year and a half or so of the development. Here are the documents, art and videos! Lets start with […]
