We can finally share the date: Darkward is now officially scheduled to release on February 17, 2026.

Darkward is a dark-fantasy interactive story built around exploration, atmosphere, and discovery through clickable words and choices. If you enjoy bleak worlds, cryptic lore, and that slow-burn tension where every new line of text can feel like a step deeper into the unknown, we hope you’ll join us for the journey.

In the meantime, the best way to support the project is simple: please add Darkward to your Steam wishlist. Wishlists help the game reach more players and make a real difference as we approach launch.

Thank you for being here—and we’ll share more updates as we get closer to February 17, 2026.
