Project Update: The Dark Beneath Pre-Launch Update 6
Hi All,
Big Announcements from Sythom Studios this week.
First, for those still eagerly awaiting the Promotional Adventure and Setting Legend “Doom on the Hollow Sea”. It is currently in editing and a brief playtest cycle. It is very close to publishing. As soon as its ready for release, it will be made digitally available for immediate download to all BackerKit Followers.
Second, the Dark Beneath has reached 400 followers! Yet another shout out to everyone that has come to our BackerKit Pre-Launch Page and Followed or Reserved! You guys are awesome! We are inching ever closer to bringing this project to each of you!
Third, we are making some changes to our launch schedule. Our fulfillment timelines are NOT CHANGING. We are pushing back the start of the BackerKit Launch until October 29, 2026.
A later launch date with a shorter window to crowdfund means more opportunity to fund. That means More Art, More Maps, More Monsters, More Adventures, More Stretch Goals Reached, and More Goodies for our Backers.
I repeat, the date of campaign closing and fulfillment of the Dark Beneath remains unchanged.
Our current release schedule looks as Follows:
- July 26, 2026: Pre-Launch on BackerKit begins. All BackerKit Followers during Pre-Launch will receive 2 Free Adventures, the promotional adventure and setting legend: “Doom on the Hollow Sea” (delivered within the next 2 weeks), and the free adventure “Murder in the Wisperholt” (delivered when the book set fulfills). Those that Reserve for $1 during Pre-Launch receive the same entitlements as other followers, but ALSO receive a Free Digital Bundle of Adventures (delivered when the book set fulfils).
- October 29, 2026: Pre-Launch ends and Launch begins. Backers that pledge within the first 48 hours of launch will receive Two Bonus Digital Adventures, different from those included for Followers and those that Reserved during Pre-Launch.
- December 1, 2026: The BackerKit Crowdfunding Campaign Ends.
- Spring of 2027: Fulfillment begins. Orders for the Dark Beneath will be delivered in both digital and physical form to all applicable Backers. Free Adventures not already delivered will be delivered digitally to those that Pre-Launch Followed or Reserved, as well as those that Pledged in the first 48 hours of Launch.
I would like to thank each of you again for Following the Dark Beneath. We cant do this without you.
Keep Exploring,
-Nathan
