Swarmdustry Demo Out Now!

The wait is finally over. The demo is out now! Give it a try and let me know what you think of it in the discord, steam discussions, reddit or even the demo review page.

Please keep in mind that localization for the demo is not currently present, as well as other features from the main game. You can find more about this on the demo page itself. It's really meant to be only a small slice of what the full game has to offer. An experienced factory player should get between 2-6 hours of gameplay just from the tutorial. The tutorial itself will not teach you every single mechanic of the game. There are some 'hidden' features that you're meant to discover by yourself as you progress and solve bottlenecks or try to automate everything.

The demo also offers a Free Play mode, unlocked after you reach about halfway through the tutorial. It allows you to build freely on the map starting from scratch with no scripted events like in the tutorial.

But enough talking, go out there and help the Swarm grow! And if you liked the demo, consider wishlisting Swarmdustry!
