NEW UPDATE 1.25 INTRODUCES JAPANESE, KOREAN AND CHINESE LANGUAGES INTO THE GAME!Mar 11, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello Horror fans, We are adding 4 new languages to Song of Horror. Now, you can face The Presence and play the true horror in Korean, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, or Simplified Chinese! The new update opens the chance for more players over the globe to discover the hidden secrets of Song of Horror. We recognized there was a big group of Japanese, Korean and Chinese players supporting us, so we decided to work on integrating these languages into the game interface and subtitles, as part of our efforts to make it accessible to as many players as possible. We hope that this new addition helps you investigate the scariest places and solve the most challenging puzzles. We also encourage you to keep sharing your best moments through the Steam forums... unless The Presence hunts you first. Let the Horror begin, The Protocol Games & Raiser Games Teams. TO IMPROVE YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE WE ARE REMOVING ASUS AURA COMPATIBILITYMar 10, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsDear horror fans, To improve your gaming experience while discovering the hidden secrets of this survival horror adventure, we are removing Asus Aura support from Song of Horror since its integration was causing some issues that could prevent players from enjoying the game to the fullest. However, as we are aware that some of you may want to still experience this feature on your computers, we will enable a dedicated branch with the Asus Aura version for you. You just need to follow the steps below to access this branch: Go to your Steam Library Right Click on Song of Horror Select Properties Select Betas From the dropdown menu, select: "soh-v1.24_aura_enabled" As this is an open Beta there should not be any password prompt Please note that when playing this branch with the Asus Aura activated (soh-v1.24_aura_enabled branch), you may encounter some bugs that even The Presence can't control, so we will no longer be providing support for these issues, and this branch. These are the bugs that you may encounter in the Asus Aura version: Fatal Error: some computers may receive a fatal error when launching the game, whether Aura is installed or not. Unable to advance to EP2: If you have EP2 purchased or Song of Horror Complete, you may not be able to advance to EP2, and the game will ask you to purchase this episode. We strongly recommend you to play Song of Horror on the default branch to enjoy the best of experiences while playing the game. Fear The Presence. The Protocol & Raiser Games teams.

You can start right here if you missed them. Now, let's reveal the final secrets Song of Horror has in store for you! EPISODE 5 • Dr. Berenice Prestegard, Ariadne's doctor, is named after the short horror story from Edgar Allan Poe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/8da42ede3657c7d02e04610a145dc808a6d4cc98.gif • Jeremy Hartwood Mental Hospital, the place where Ariadne spent her childhood, shares its name with the owner of Derceto Manor in the original Alone in the Dark, whose suicide kick-starts the events of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/2a4fd95adcefc2530858137126175558e0663a5c.gif • Alan Cedrac is a staff member of Jeremy Hartwood whose name comes from Aline Cedrac, the co-protagonist of Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/41d429b56e48f6b2d19bbf0936ba915387fbcd0b.gif • Edward Camby, the other co-protagonist of Alone in the Dark: A New Nightmare, also served as inspiration for another character from Song of Horror: Edward Saunders, the director of Jeremy Hartwood. His surnames come from Grace Saunders, a child that acts as a supporting character in Alone in the Dark 2. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/ebea7f0e222adeb041234239927f44158bc232ca.gif • In a document found inside Jeremy Hartwood, you can discover that the company that dismantled the hospital was Derceto (like the previously mentioned manor from Alone in the Dark) and a reference to Ezechiel Pregzt, the antagonist of the same game.

Known bugs We're tracking the following errors and they'll be fixed as soon as possible: The "Voices" omen can trigger a freeze in ultra graphic settings. To prevent it, we recommend reducing the "render quality" option in your settings to 93%. If you interact with the mirror at the end of Episode 4, Husher's reflection might disappear. If you interact with the Tarot Card before it is completed, diverse visual bugs will take place. The only thing you have to do to fix it is exit and re-enter the game. Thank you everyone and keep enjoying the game! The Protocol & Raiser Games Teams.New H.P. Lovecraft Difficulty Available Now! Introducing Update 1.22Jun 25, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, Today we introduce several, highly requested new features to Song of Horror! You can now experience the hardest difficulty, H.P. Lovecraft, play as fan-favorite Erica in Episode 5, and face new scares and manifestations of The Presence. We promised to add these three new elements to Song of Horror to keep improving the game beyond launch and to offer all of you new content to look forward to. This would not be possible without your participation in the community, so thank you for being so vocal and encouraging in the Steam forums and in your reviews! Now, go and play the newest content Song of Horror has to offer! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/9508367be332303ff53adea90ddd6143362f127b.gif Here's everything Update 1.22 introduces to Song of Horror: H.P. LOVECRAFT H.P. Lovecraft difficulty is now available! H.P. Lovecraft is Song of Horror’s hardest difficulty level. You can unlock this new difficulty after beating the game for the first time in M.R. James or Edgar Allan Poe. The unlocking of H.P. Lovecraft is not retroactive: it won't unlock automatically if you already completed the game on M.R. James or Edgar Allan Poe. However, what you can do is watch the final cutscene again to unlock H.P. Lovecraft. H.P. Lovecraft is a global unlock. Once you obtain it, you’ll be able to select H.P. Lovecraft in any of your save slots. In H.P. Lovecraft, death (or worse!) lurks around every corner. The difficulty of all five Hauntings has been noticeably increased, and they will appear slightly more frequently than in Edgar Allan Poe. Lesser events will also tend to be more... malignant than before. Be on your guard! No tutorials will show up in H.P. Lovecraft (they are still accessible from the "Tutorials" section of the Pause menu), and you might find yourself facing dangers you didn’t expect. For those achievement hunters among us, you can now unlock a brand new one for completing the entire game on H.P. Lovecraft difficulty: "The Presence waits dreaming". You can also change difficulty at any time between H.P. Lovecraft and the other three difficulty levels with no restrictions. However, doing this will prevent you from getting the achievement associated with H.P. Lovecraft, so think carefully before committing. EPISODE 5: NEW PLAYABLE CHARACTER AND EVENTS Erica Färber is now playable in Episode 5! After going through unspeakable horrors at the Abbey of Saint Cecilia and the antique store, a final answer still eludes Erica, and as you know, she’s not one to sit idly by... To unlock Erica as a playable character in Episode 5, she needs to be present in Episode 4 and survive the ordeal (she doesn't need to be the one who finishes the episode). This is not retroactive: it will unlock on successful Episode 4 runs from now on. We also added several instances of random paranormal activity to Jeremy Hartwood Mental Hospital. Now, your adventure through this cursed place will be scarier than ever before! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/6b63311...This Is What the Reviews Are Saying About Song of Horror in Each Country!Jun 19, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, Song of Horror is getting more and more reviews each day, and we are very excited about the buzz and praise the game is generating in the media, especially during so many game announcements which is certainly difficult. That's why we wanted to share with you some of our favorite reviews and quotes from all over the world, so you can take a look at what the gaming sites are saying about Song of Horror in different countries. USA/UK "Song of Horror is one of the best indie horror games out there. Taking the key aspects of genre classics like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, and combining these with an encyclopedic knowledge of the genre in other media, Song of Horror really gets under your skin and, just like The Presence, will haunt the dark corners of your mind." The Sixth Axis - 9/10 "Song of Horror is an ode to classic survival horror that taps into what makes the genre resonate. a heart-pounding experience." Game Informer - 8/10 "From moment one of diving into the game, you can clearly see that Song of Horror is a work of passion (one might definitely hope so with those six years of development) that’s highly detailed in its environmental design. There’s so much to see that’s it almost a shame there’s no first-person mode available." 3rd Strike - 9/10 "...A perfectly engrossing horror game As first releases go, however, they don’t come much smarter or classier than this. Protocol is a developer to keep an eye on – preferably from a distance." Edge - 7/10 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/1f1ce7d1a4c8756a01e3510035c564c33452755b.gif GERMANY "The game builds a terrifying atmosphere in a really short time. The lighting effects, the music, and the constant fear of being attacked by a monster at any moment are captivating. Sometimes, the game experience was so stressful I forgot I was playing in the middle of an open office." PCGames - 8/10 "The horror is dark and knows how to keep tension. And the ending is simply malicious, the second part can already go into production, I'm eagerly waiting." MDEGaming - 80.8/100 "Song of Horror can compete with a James Wan film in terms of atmosphere." GameStar SPAIN "The new horror game that won't let you sleep. A notable homage to classic survival horror that knows how to contribute very clever ideas." HobbyConsolas - 81/100 "Brings back the best of classic survival horrors. Without a doubt, this is one of the nicest surprises we've had this year, leaving me with a great impression." 3DJuegos "The first great horror game of the decade." Softonic {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/d50a5308a4a860d1281d2b038307462508cd4a83.gif ITALY "...A solid horror adventure that will please fans of the genre and beyond, and that deserves to be experienced to the end."

What was pushing that door?"The 1st Post-Launch Update is Here! Check Out Update 1.21Jun 11, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, Although the game is already out, we are still working hard on Song of Horror. Today, we introduce the first of several post-launch updates. This one focuses on general tweaks to the whole title, which include bug fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and important changes to the photograph puzzle in Episode 5, making it more accessible and easier to solve. Here's everything Update 1.21 adds to Song of Horror: EPISODE 2 Removed some locations where The Silence could get stuck. You should no longer get stuck when watching through Erica’s peephole. EPISODE 3 Fixed a bug which could cause you to not be able to obtain the slides if you used the power adapter before obtaining them. Added new cutscenes to the Interlude. EPISODE 5 The infamous photograph puzzle now registers when it gets correctly assembled and gives you the photograph plus the information paper as a document. Added several clues to the information document in the photograph puzzle. You can now access the completed photograph (if you have it) when inside the keypad puzzle. Fixed a puzzle icon appearing on the map when it shouldn’t. Fixed a bug where sometimes your character wouldn’t use the stethoscope when listening at doors. Fixed a rare instance of The Presence interfering with The First Dream’s starting cutscene. Fixed a bug where sometimes you could get stuck after obtaining the flare box. Fixed a bug which could cause the security panel buttons to disappear. Fixed several translation bugs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/2b4eea4caf3e66a287d74abdd4913cddca9a53f7.gif FINALE Fixed Ariadne glowing in the dark when you approached her with your flashlight off (reminded us of this scene). Fixed the music box reappearing once you return from There. Fixed several interaction bugs with puzzles in Husher and Berenice’s nightmares. GENERAL Fixed a bug that caused resolution to not stick properly. Fixed some VR devices from automatically launching upon Song of Horror being run (The Presence was trying to escape to other mediums!!!) Fixed a controller issue where using the controller stick to change between “Yes” and “No” options upon selecting Daniel or an Episode 5 character would cause your chosen personal and collectible items to also change. Removed some UI leftovers from the character selection screen. Fixed a setting in the “Ultra” effects configuration that would cause an undue performance impact. Added missing sound effects and fixed some existing ones. Fixed some bugs with the characters’ in-game voice lines. THE ABYSS Fixed the arm grab icons sometimes staying after the event had been successfully completed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/075e65d809fe5490030e7289bbfd9b9d6ed5807a.gif We encourage you to participate in our lively community by sharing your thoughts and comments about the game on the Steam forums, or by leaving a review of Song of Horror!

Experiencing the end of the story with all of you, after all these years of development, has been very emotional for us. However, this is not the end! We are working on three different updates to tweak Episode 5 and add new features to Song of Horror as a whole. Here's everything we are introducing to the game during the following weeks: 1st Post-Launch Update: Second Week of June General tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes on all the Episodes Changes to the photograph puzzle: We noticed that this puzzle was too cryptic and difficult for many of you. That's why we left a post on the Steam forums with tips and tricks to help you solve it. In this patch, we will introduce some in-game adjustments to help you figure it out, like being able to take the picture with you or adding more tips to the enigma. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/3fd514369a59a49699991a967334a053325b7f68.gif 2nd Post-Launch Update: Third Week of June New unique events for Episode 5! The Presence will have more tricks under its sleeve to scare you during the last moments of your adventure. You won't see it coming! 3rd Post-Launch Update: End of June Erica joins Episode 5: You missed reaching the conclusion of Song of Horror with Färber's nerdy daughter, so we are accommodating "The Horror and the Song" to let you play as Erica! New H. P. Lovecraft Difficulty: The toughest challenge you can find in Song of Horror! Will you be able to survive with all the characters against the full might of The Presence? These patches would not be possible without your feedback. Thanks for being so vocal and participative on the Steam forums! We encourage you to leave a review of Song of Horror in the review section! Each review contributes to spread the word about the game and helps us to keep improving it. Stay strong. The Presence is still out there. The Protocol & Raiser Games Teams. "Bloody hell, what happened here? Was someone hurt? Dad...?"Episode 5 Launch Update: Check All the New Tweaks and Features Here!May 28, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, We are introducing a new update to Song of Horror, just in time for the launch of Episode 5! This patch is designed to introduce a couple of new (and highly requested!) features, as well as several quality-of-life adjustments. Here's everything we are featuring in Song of Horror today with Update 1.2: GENERAL E.T.A. Hoffmann mode is now available! E.T.A. Hoffmann is a new difficulty level that maintains the same general difficulty as M.R. James but, whenever you lose a character, you’ll be able to choose to load a previous checkpoint instead of succumbing to permanent death. Difficulty can now be changed up and down anytime during the game, with no restrictions, except one notable exception: changing difficulty in the middle of an ongoing dangerous event will not affect said event. Certain achievements still require a specific difficulty level to be maintained throughout the entirety of a given episode (or the entire game!) to be unlocked. Lots of minor bugs, graphical glitches, and subtitle errors have been fixed. THE DARKNESS Shortened The Darkness’ duration to more appropriate levels. Now it won't take too long to know whether you survived... or you perished! Fixed a bug causing The Darkness to sometimes be harder than expected. Changed The Darkness’ feedback icon: now, the icon will become filled with white starting from the edge all the way to the center before receding again. Success will come by pressing the appropriate key/gamepad button when the icon is completely filled with white. Both the heartbeat sounds and the event’s tutorial (accessible from the “Tutorials” section in the Pause Menu) have been updated to reflect these changes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/24cf53d9ade5a4c86507ef6471f74b718c450bff.gif THE SILENCE Updated the breathing icon to be more accurate. Now, you’ll have clearer feedback on whether you’re doing good or not. EPISODE 1 The final hallway has been remade to better reflect where you’re going. Fixed an uncommon bug that could cause interactable items to randomly swap with each other causing abnormal behaviors. A notable example was the entrance of the house, which could be blocked. If this bug affects you, all you need to do is restart the episode to have it fixed. EPISODE 4 Fixed a bug that could cause you to get stuck when you lose a character in the Basilica or in adjacent areas by blocking the well and preventing you from picking up the victim’s items. Fixed a bug that could cause you to be able to finish the episode without gathering the four ornate keys. The mausoleum door leading to the Prior’s confession has been given greatly increased chances of opening (it opens randomly). Fixed a bug with the Tarot deck causing it to not work as intended. Fixed a bug that could cause Etienne to appear in the ending sequence despite having been lost. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35590000/d7fe1a1565e8c83f79b8974b968746684c2a1ea4.gif As always, we encourage you to leave your feedback, thoughts, and opinions ...Song of Horror - Episode 5, The Horror and The Song, Is Out Now!May 28, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, The time has come.

The Protocol & Raiser Games Teams. Dear God... What is this hideous place?We added a Game Mode Without Permadeath to Song of Horror!May 25, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsDear Song of Horror fans, We have listened to your opinions about permadeath and, following our April's poll results, we have added a new game mode to Song of Horror! Introducing E.T.A. Hoffmann Named after the famous gothic author, E.T.A. Hoffmann is a new difficulty option where there is no permadeath. In this mode, players can choose another character or re-start from the last checkpoint when a character dies. The Presence will also have the same difficulty level as MR James. Now that we are closer than ever to the Final Episode, we feel it's the perfect moment to enjoy Episodes 1 through 4 in E.T.A. Hoffmann, to make sure your favorite characters reach the end! About Permadeath in Song of Horror Song of Horror was designed to be a challenging, scary experience where permadeath is essential. We want you to feel the true fear and pressure of losing a character forever, that every action you take has a meaningful impact, that mistakes have real consequences... But also, that these consequences promote changing characters and experiencing Song of Horror from different perspectives. However, we understand that every player is different. Some of you wanted to enjoy the story and gameplay of Song of Horror without permadeath getting in your way. We recommend playing Song of Horror with permadeath for the first time... But, if the game was inaccessible to you due to this mechanic, we hope that the E.T.A Hoffmann difficulty will allow you to still enjoy it! Stay safe everyone! The Protocol & Raiser Games Teams. There is nothing more marvelous or madder than real life.
