It's time: the new demo for Midnight Launch: A GameShop Sim is now available!

This single-player demo is a hearty sampling of everything we've been working on since February. You'll be able to check out the new environment, play through our revamped progression mechanics (up to 3 stars; around 20% of the full game), and get a glimpse of all the other new and reworked features we've been hard at work on.

This is still only a taste of what's to come when we fully release into Early Access, but we hope you give it a try and let us know what you think. There's no hard stop to the demo this time, so you can play with what's available as much as you like!

Download and play the Midnight Launch: A GameShop Sim Demo today!
