Hello everyone,

Today we wanted to share a closer look at one of the most important locations in Before Dawn: the lodge.

If you've been following development for a while, you'll already know that the mountain is full of places to explore. Some are abandoned. Some are dangerous. And some only appear safe.

The lodge falls somewhere in between.

From the outside, it might seem like the perfect place to hide from whatever is waiting in the darkness. Warm lights, wooden walls, and long quiet hallways create the feeling that you've finally found a moment to breathe. But horror fans know better than anyone that safety is often an illusion.

Over the past few weeks we've spent a lot of time refining the interior of the lodge. Every hallway, doorway, and room has been adjusted countless times as we continue to search for the right balance between realism, exploration, and tension.

One thing we've always loved about classic horror is how locations can become characters of their own. We want players to remember the lodge long after they leave it. Not because of its size or complexity, but because of the stories it tells through its environment.

As you explore, you'll begin to notice small details that hint at events that occurred long before your arrival. Some clues are obvious. Others are easy to miss. We want curious players to feel rewarded for paying attention.

The image we're sharing today only shows a small portion of the location. There are still rooms we haven't revealed, secrets we aren't ready to talk about, and a few surprises we'd rather keep hidden for now.

After all, discovering them yourself is half the fun.

As development continues, we'll be sharing more looks behind the scenes and discussing the process of building the world of Before Dawn.

Until next time, keep an eye on the shadows.
