Hey everyone!

We’re excited to share that a brand new, free demo for ITER is now available to download and play on Itch.io, and this version will remain live indefinitely!

Whether you're completely new to ITER or just itching to jump back in after the recent playtest, this version gives you a great slice of the surface loop, packed with content, polish, and replayability.

Each run can take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes, with around 4 to 8 hours of gameplay available depending on your approach. This demo represents roughly 15–20% of the full game and is built to be replayed, experimented with, and pushed to its limits.

🔗 Check out the ITER Itch.io page here!
