The wait is over. The GRAIN ROT Demo is out!

THE GRAIN ROT DEMO IS LIVE!

Yeah, you heard right. It's out. It's free. It's sitting right there on your screen waiting for you to stop reading this and start playing it.

We could keep going with the theatrics but honestly the game speaks for itself. Go run it.


⚠️ ATTENTION PLAYTESTERS

The playtest is officially over. Everyone is on the demo now. No exceptions, no special access, no VIP lounge. We're all Scrappies here. Welcome to the public.


JOIN THE FIGHT

We're rallying every Scrappie to play the demo, and if you enjoy it, feel free to leave a review. It helps more wandering Sparks find GRAIN ROT and make their way to the Outpost. We built something we're proud of and we'd love the world to find it.

Join our Discord to get the "Demo Player" role in the #roles channel!
