Dear Makers,
The Anymaker demo is live now!
Anyone can download and play the Anymaker demo free on Steam now and until the end of the Steam Next Fest (June 22nd 2026).
This new version of the demo follows many improvements based on player feedback. We have reworked the progression system: completing the bunker location now spawns tier 2 and 3 loot everywhere, meaning there is a lot more high tier loot available and progression in a career game is much more meaningful and sustainable.
There are many other new things going on in the world: NPC survivors now roam the landscape, fighting for their own survival. Direction finders also require a frequency cartridge, with some cartridges findable in the game world, leading the you to valuable locations. The game difficulty also increases with loot tier, and new dangers are introduced.
There has been a general rebalance and rework of several mechanics, so the game does play and feel different. We will continue taking feedback and look forward to your feedback.
If you have not already, please wishlist Anymaker now on Steam! This is how Steam decide which games to show players, and it makes a huge difference for us. Thank you!
