30 years ago, a remote laboratory researching black matter and dark energy had a complete system meltdown, causing it, and the surrounding forest & village to become affected. Back then the government sent in agents to survey the destruction and to check for survivors. They were never seen or heard from again. Eventually the government sent agents to contain any possible infection, sealing off the area and warning any remaining residents to never enter this place.
Today, 30 years later, you and your friends heard rumors of monsters roaming these woods. Rumors of shadows lurking in the woods, of eerie sounds coming from the ground… But you, my friend, are facing that danger with your friends, head on. Go my friend, prove that you are in fact, not Surrounded by monsters lurking in the dark.

Read full update on Steam ↗Surrounded Reimagined | v0.9.0.0
The day has finally come, the new Surrounded update is now live. I’ve put a huge amount of work into this update, and while the full rebuild is still on the way, I wanted this to serve as an appreciation update for everyone who supported the game and wanted something new to play in the meantime. This update was rebuilt by me from the ground up in a completely fresh project, so while it is still a free update for Surrounded, a huge amount of the game has been remade from scratch to give it a much stronger foundation going forward. I’m also aware that some things from the original build may be missing here, some of that is intentional as part of the new direction, and some of it will be added back in quickly based on feedback. If there’s something specific you want to see return, let me know. Please keep sharing your bugs, feedback, and suggestions, I’ll be actively working on fixes and...
Read full update on Steam ↗Surrounded Update in February
Hi Steam Community,You guys must be some of the most patient people ever, haha, and I really appreciate it. Surrounded’s Rebuild was originally planned for release last year, but sadly that didn't happen. There just aren’t enough hours in the day, and I don’t want to rush it again. I broke your trust with the initial release back in 2023 since it launched in a messy state, so this time I want to deliver the version you truly deserve. That said, I do have some exciting news for those of you who can’t wait. In my spare time I’ve been remaking the old game, which I plan to release as a maintenance update while the rebuild continues. It’s the same game, same premise, same monsters, just with a lot more polish, optimization and no game-breaking bugs. To be clear, this is not the rebuild, but an update that makes the old game properly playable while you wait for the redesigned version. Than...

Read full update on Steam ↗Development Update #1
Dear Steam Community, If there's anything we've learned the past few weeks, it's that transparency is key. This blog post series will be an attempt to keep the community up to date with what we're doing behind the scenes, and include you in this journey. First of all I would like to give all of you a massive thank you for the support, bug reports, streams and kind words you have given us since launch on behalf of the entire team. Launch Day As you all may know, launch day wasn't the most stable launch you could've imagined.

The matchmaking system didn't allow all people to host or join games, and only restarting the game a great number of times seemed to resolve the issue temp...

We must thank you all once again for the patience, we promise the wait will be worth it ❤️ Cheers, Nightmare Studios
