『GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual -』 Demo Now Available!
Hello everyone!
This is MURINGO, the developer of GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual -.Sorry for the late announcement, but the demo version of GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual - is now available!The demo is already playable, so if you've been curious about the game, we hope you'll take this opportunity to give it a try.
■ A Demo Like an “Interactive PV”
This demo is structured a little differently from a typical demo that lets you play through the beginning of the full game.Instead, it consists of fragments from various scenes throughout the story, with the events intentionally presented out of chronological order.Rather than following the story from beginning to end, the purpose of this demo is to let you experience:
“What kind of game is GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual -?”
You can get a taste of the game's world, characters, visual direction, music, and overall atmosphere.In that sense, you could think of it as an “interactive PV” that you experience by playing it yourself.
■ Playtime: Approximately 30–40 Minutes
The demo takes approximately 30–40 minutes to complete.Although it is relatively short, we've packed it with various elements from the full game, including mystery, horror, battles, character interactions, and cinematic scenes.Music is also an important part of the game's presentation, and I personally compose the original BGM used throughout the game.Illustrations, visual direction, music, and story all come together to create the unique atmosphere of GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual -.We hope you'll experience it for yourself.
■ About Full Voice Acting
Please note that the current demo does not include full voice acting.We originally planned to release the demo with voice acting, but unfortunately, due to our development schedule, we were unable to include it in time for this release.We sincerely apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the voices.Full voice acting is planned to be added during future development.Although this demo does not feature voices, we have put our full effort into expressing the game's world and characters through its illustrations, visual direction, and music.We will continue developing the game so that we can deliver an even more complete version of GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual - in the final release.
■ GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual - Will Participate in Steam Next Fest!
We're also happy to announce that GRIMOIRE - The Lost Ritual - is scheduled to participate in Steam Next Fest!🎉Through the demo, we hope to introduce the world of GRIMOIRE to even more players.If you think:
“This looks interesting.”
“I really like this atmosphere.”
Then please give the demo a try!
