Hillside and The Judas Ghost coming back from Onhold, and No More Money coming back from Abandoned (!) really gives me hope that A Shot in the Dark comes back too.

You optimistic dumbass...

You optimistic dumbass...

Count me as one of the optimistic ones then. This is one of the few vns where an LI that I strongly disliked at the start became my favorite LI by the last chapter (Mai). That's just good character writing. So I really want to see where this one goes.

I have several abandoned and on-hold games on my F95 checker. If they suddenly start updating again it will tell me but I'm not holding my breath on any of them.

it's better to follow the simple motto, "hope for the best, prepare for the worst."

Whats going on here? I want an update hear as fast as possible...

And souls in Sheol want ice water, but they ain't getting it either. There's an Onhold tag in the thread title, big as life, so you showing up to demand an update is pointless and ignorant.

Uh, unless I'm very much mistaken it's not supposed to be hot there, just dark, gloomy, silent, and presumably boring as fuck (which I guess is better than the alternative).

That's correct; Sheol is basically the bottomless pit. Another name for Sheol is Abaddon, Tararus, Hades, Hell etc.

Wow the reason for this game going on hold is pretty sad. Hopefully the little one will feel better soon.

I'm really looking forward to where the story is going.

A Shot in the Dark: June 23rd, 2025 Dev Log

This news was also posted on Patreon and SubscribeStar on June 23rd, 2025.
We have some news to share for A Shot in the Dark. We're not going to make any promises or guarantees (not that we could anyways) but we may have a potential solution for the game development to make progress again. However, we really won't know with certainty until the end of the year or early next year if it will be possible. More details will be released at that point if we have the answer we're hoping for.

I'm sorry we don't have more details we can share at the moment. But, we wanted to let you know that something is potentially in the works.

If you missed why this is currently going on with A Shot in the Dark please check out an earlier post below.

As a reminder, Chapter 4 is the halfway point of the story. After deliberation we decided it will be called Part 1. We're in the middle of testing the translation work we already completed for it. The game's new development will continue to remain paused/on hold for the time being. If you're only an A Shot in the Dark fan then please check back at the end of the year or early next year.

Welp, Abandoned tag incoming; even if they do renew the development in late 2025 / early 2026, the break gets too long for F95.
A college game that could be among the best but is now in jeopardy… Is that what AOA Academy fans feel like?

Oh nooo...

You're talking like being marked as abandoned by F95 would prevent the devs from ever picking this up again. We'll see if development will continue at some point, it seems there may be hope. If the game has an abandoned tag by that point that has to be removed then matters absolutely zero though.

Hey, I know the tag has no connection to the devs themselves. But it's still shitty to see in a symbolic way.
