PLAY THE BRAND-NEW DEFICIT DEMO!

Fight, blast and sneak your way through the frontiers of the Threshold in our upcoming single-player sci-fi action sim.

This is open call to all you intrepid espionage freelancers out there. We are known only as the Client, and we desire only one thing: that you jump into our brand new demo to confront the might of the British military-industrial complex and steal the enigmatic device known only as "the Interpolator".

Hadrian's Wall sits on the northernmost edge of Northumberland. It is a manifold shell of steel, concrete and trigger-happy security details. You will stop at nothing to secure the Interpolator for us, and the Oversight Taskforce will stop at nothing to prevent your entry into Project Sidereal.

It's hard to enter Hadrian's Wall with any meaningful equipment, so you'll have to get creative. Use their weapons and their own machines against them. Silenced pistols, loose electrics, tripmines, traffic cones - anything is a weapon to a skilled freelancer.

Which of you will manage to come out alive with the Interpolator successfully in tow? What liminal designs shall twist the fabric of reality as you enter the frontiers of the Threshold? All will become clear in our brand new and expansive demo.

Let us know your thoughts and experiences after playing the demo.


We are a small team of two making our singular vision of a fun and frenetic sci-fi action sim. It's a complex game to make so we want to hear what you liked, what you didn't like and what you'd like to see next. Let's make stealing classified technology and beating up hapless security grunts the best version of itself that it could ever be.

Install the DEFICIT demo from our Steam page!

And if you're new here, give us a quick wishlist, if you don't mind. It really helps us out and you'll here more about our development process as we crack on with the game.

Game update7 Sep 2026DEFCIT Demo Performance ImprovementWe've updated the DEFICIT demo with a quick patch to improve some issues with CPU performance in the Threshold Lab level. This should reduce overall CPU load within the level, improving framerates as well as reducing the initial stuttering/hitching that some players have experienced! There can still be a small hitch when first loading the level as the game builds navigation data, but this shoul…
