A Shot in the Dark: June 23rd, 2025 Dev Log

This news was also posted on Patreon and SubscribeStar on June 23rd, 2025.

We have some news to share for A Shot in the Dark. We're not going to make any promises or guarantees (not that we could anyways) but we may have a potential solution for the game development to make progress again. However, we really won't know with certainty until the end of the year or early next year if it will be possible. More details will be released at that point if we have the answer we're hoping for. I'm sorry we don't have more details we can share at the moment. But, we wanted to let you know that something is potentially in the works. If you missed why this is currently going on with A Shot in the Darkplease check out an earlier post below.

https://www.patreon.com/posts/january-30th-dev-120902569 As a reminder, Chapter 4 is the halfway point of the story. After deliberation we decided it will be called Part 1. We're in the middle of testing the translation work we already completed for it. The game's new development will continue to remain paused/on hold for the time being. If you're only an A Shot in the Dark fan then please check back at the end of the year or early next year.

A Shot in the Dark is a choice-driven adult visual novel about new possibilities and dark secrets. Navigate romance, relationships, and rivalry as a young man during your first semester of college. Can you make a fresh start, or will the past catch up with you?



A mystery to solve
You play as a young man hoping to make a fresh start in college. But when a sorority girl goes missing, any hope of a normal semester disappears along with her. Will you be able to solve the mystery of her disappearance before it's too late?



Your choices matter
Choose wisely. There is no right or wrong. There is no one "happy path." From the first chapter to the last, your decisions can have permanent impacts on the story. Many branching story paths—each with its own joys and tragedies—will eventually lead you to one of the multiple endings.



Compelling characters
Ten main love interests represent a variety of body types, personalities, and skin tones. Your choices will decide how each relationship progresses and whether lewd scenes are revealed. Additional romanceable characters will be included based on Patron polling and requests.



Transparent gameplay
The mystery is in the story, not the gameplay. You will always know what aspects of the game your choices affect, for optimal replayability. No grinding or pointless minigames to stretch out the content. Every mechanic is designed to move the story forward, not to slow it down.
