Greetings!

Blades For Hire is part of the Steam Debut Festival 2025 — an event where debut games step into the spotlight for the very first time! This is our first major title, and we’re excited to invite you to try the free demo, available now.

In the demo you will experience:
• Early missions and branching story choices
• Tactical battles with indirect squad control
• Basic guild and resource management
• An atmospheric introduction to a harsh and morally complex world

Thank you for supporting us — indie developers taking our very first steps.
Play the demo, share your impressions, and join the discussion in the official Discord community!
