Evaluation

Days Without Incident is a free, short (45–60 minute) survival horror game from We Create Stuff, released on October 22, 2025. The developer describes it as a "lost prototype from 2017" — a previously unreleased piece of horror history that serves as a creative milestone between their earlier mod work and their released title In Sound Mind. This framing positions the game as a complete, self-contained release rather than the beginning of an ongoing content cycle. A day-1 patch on October 23, 2025 addressed controller bugs and localization issues, which is standard launch maintenance. In a March 2, 2026 post-launch recap, the developer shared milestone stats (80,000+ downloads, 56-minute average playtime, 100 daily downloads) and explicitly stated that the game has completed its release window and that future update frequency will decline. This is a clear signal from the developer that active post-launch work on this game is winding down. The launch post also teased the studio's next project — a recreation and massive expansion of the original Nightmare House mod — but this refers to a separate, future game, not additional content for Days Without Incident. The game shipped as a complete, finite experience and the developer has since confirmed it is past its active support phase.
