Arkhangel is now FREE (but unsupported)


Dear Winter Night Games Community,

We hope this message finds you well. It is with mixed emotions that we, Zack and Josh, announce the dissolution of Winter Night Games. We have come to this difficult decision after much contemplation and have concluded that it's time to move on.

Arkhangel: The House of the Seven Stars

Arkhangel has been a journey of love, creativity, and imagination for us. We sincerely appreciate every person who played the game and joined us in exploring its world. The game will be delisted from Steam shortly. However, it will continue to be available on itch.io and will become a free product without support moving forward.

The Great Nameless

We were excited about bringing "The Great Nameless" to life as a tabletop game and sincerely thank everyone who supported its Kickstarter campaign. Unfortunately, since we were unable to meet our fundraising goal, the project became dead in the water. However, we did release the PDFs for free and are considering keeping them available online for anyone interested in exploring the game.

Future Plans

While Winter Night Games will no longer be operating as an official entity, the spirit of our creative partnership is far from over. Josh and I plan to continue working on weird and wonderful projects together, albeit in a less formal capacity.  Again, itch.io will more than likely be the place where we will release any new product.

Digital Footprint

In line with the dissolution, our official webpage and email addresses will likely become inactive within the next couple of months. The majority of our social media accounts will also be closed down. Our Facebook page will remain active and will serve as the main point of contact for any future updates or announcements.

A Word of Thanks

We cannot express enough how much your love and support have meant to us over these years. The community that rallied around Arkhangel and showed interest in The Great Nameless was inspiring and heartwarming. While it's tough to say goodbye to something that has been such a significant part of our lives, the lessons we've learned and the memories we've made are invaluable.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of this journey.

Much appreciation,

Zack and Josh Co-Founders, Winter Night Games

Any chance you'll  make the game FOSS so that if people wish to improve it down the road it will be possible to maintain it ?

That's an interesting question.  Legally, I don't think it would be possible as it was built on the Unity engine but definitely something to investigate further!
