Evaluation
After Dark VR entered Steam Early Access on January 21, 2022. In its first two months, Nexxverse Games was fairly active: they shipped several patches addressing bugs and balance changes, and on March 11, 2022, they released the game's only major content update — adding AI bots, a new Highschool map, and a new Hunter. A final small patch followed on March 14, 2022.
Since March 14, 2022, there have been no developer communications of any kind — no patches, no blog posts, no announcements. The store page still carries Early Access status and explicitly promises that more hunters and maps are "to come," but those commitments have seen no follow-through in over four years. The gap between the last update and today (June 22, 2026) far exceeds any reasonable expectation for continued development based on the game's early cadence. There is no developer statement explaining the silence, confirming the game is complete, or announcing closure of the studio. The game remains purchasable and listed as Early Access, but there is no evidence that development is ongoing.
Evidence
Major update added AI bots, a new Highschool map, and a new Hunter character. Store description updated to highlight AI bots as a key feature.
Game remains listed as Early Access and purchasable, with no developer update since March 14, 2022 — more than four years of silence against a backdrop of promised future content.

Objective for the Hunter is to use brute force striking down the Survivors locking them away in a Cage so they can't escape.
Objective for Survivors is to turn on 4 Fuse Boxes so the Exit Gate powers on allowing them out of the area they're trapped in with the Hunter.
Fuse Boxes are located all around the Map. Survivors need to find a Fuse Box and turn all levers from OFF to ON then power on with Handle. If done incorrectly, the levers will reset. Light will switch from Red to Green once powered on. Note: The Hunter can interact with the Fuse Boxes and reset progress made.
Once Survivors power on 4 Fuse Boxes they can escape through the Exit Gate and win.
When the Hunter strikes down a Survivor the Survivor enters Spectate Mode and their body spawns in a Cage somewhere in the Map. Survivors can free teammates by pulling the lever beside the Cage the Survivor is trapped in.
The Hunter must strike down all Survivors to win.
