Junkfish’s return to survival horror provides a tense, first-person stealth experience
Dundee, Scotland – 10 November, 2026 – Junkfish is thrilled to announce that Wilderdark, its all-new first-person survival horror adventure, is available today on Steam for £13.75/€15,49/$17.99. To celebrate the launch, players can also take advantage of a 20% launch discount until 17 November.
In Wilderdark, players undertake a dangerous mission on an unnatural island in search of the source of immortality. The island has been overtaken by an ectoparasitic organism that has begun corrupting both dinosaurs and plant life. Players take on the role of a field operative, tasked with documenting the island’s ecosystem, collecting samples, and uncovering the fate of earlier expeditions that never returned, including one led by the protagonist’s own parents.
Survival in Wilderdark is about staying hidden. Stealth is the player’s greatest weapon when navigating dense jungles, abandoned research camps, and parasite-infested ruins while avoiding relentless apex predators that hunt by sight and sound. To uncover the truth, players will need to carefully observe their surroundings, document discoveries through photography, and craft essential tools from whatever they can find.
“Wilderdark has been a passion project for the team, and we’re incredibly excited to finally put the game into players’ hands,” said Adam Dart, Founder and Director at Junkfish. “We wanted to create an experience where the player feels genuinely vulnerable, where every sound could mean danger and every discovery raises more questions. Bringing dinosaurs into a survival horror setting gave us the opportunity to explore that tension in a way we haven’t done before, and we can’t wait to see how players navigate the island, uncover its secrets and hopefully make it out alive!”
Wilderdark’s journey to launch has been shaped by feedback from its growing community. Players have already been able to experience an early taste of the adventure through the demo on Steam, which has received a number of updates based on community feedback, including a full tutorial to help players with mechanics and controls, enhanced dinosaur designs and animations to help with mood readability, alongside numerous quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.
Launching today, Wilderdark marks Junkfish’s return to the stealth survival horror genre following its acclaimed title, Monstrum, bringing together tense stealth gameplay, exploration, environment storytelling, and prehistoric horror in an unsettling new adventure.
Wilderdark is available now on PC via Steam.
