Springs, Eternal, the new game from Fullbright, the studio behind Gone Home and Tacoma, comes out today, November 11, 2026, on Steam for Windows PC. Published by Serenity Forge, it is a short first-person story exploration game (about 2 to 3 hours to fully complete, according to the Steam page) set at Stillwater Springs, a hot springs retreat in the mountains, at night. A free demo is available. French is not among the supported languages.

Release date, time, platform and price

    • Release: November 11, 2026 on Steam, announced on October 7, 2026 during the Horror Game Awards’ Harvest of Terror Showcase (Serenity Forge press release and Steam announcement).

    • Time: not officially announced. On November 11 at 8:20 a.m. Paris time, the Steam page said the game “plans to unlock in approximately 9 hours”, so around late afternoon Paris time.

    • Platform: Windows PC only (no macOS or Linux build listed). No console version has been announced.

    • Price: not displayed on Steam when this article was written.

    • Languages: English (interface, subtitles and full audio), Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese. No French.

What kind of game is it?

    • You explore Stillwater Springs at night with a flashlight: forest paths, several hidden pools, caverns, saunas and a grand lodge. The map expands as you explore.

    • Over a dozen characters to meet face to face (philosophers locked in a debate, a tattooist, young lovers, a widow…), with branching dialogue. What you learn in one conversation unlocks new topics with other guests.

    • Flashbacks rebuild the romantic relationship that brought the main character there. The tone is supernatural and “ominous”, but the developer says “you can’t die… can you?”. You can also collect playable vinyl records.

    • Visual style: lo-fi, dithered and pixelated graphics inspired by late-1990s PC and console games.

    • It is written and designed by Fullbright’s writer and lead designer of Gone Home, Tacoma and BioShock 2: Minerva’s Den.
