PLAY THE DEMO!

Hey y'all! We've finally updated the demo for you to play with :D
A LOT has changed in the game since the last demo in Feb 2025 so we are excited for you to see it!

We are getting closer to the release of the game this summer, so please take a look and let us know what you think :)

A run in the demo is much shorter than an entire run in the full game, so if you find it too easy crank that difficulty up to Hardcore for a bit more of a challenge.

And if you're still not satisfied, join the discord and get a key to playtest more! You can even playtest the Online Multiplayer Coop. And we could really use your playtesting data, so do us a favor and step up to the challenge.

So what's new?

There are so many things it is hard to fully explain it, but at a high-level:

  • New Tentacle Creatures

  • New Chemical Reactions

  • New Weapons and Equipment

  • New Maps

  • New Languages

  • Things and creatures can now set on fire and spread it

  • Animated Sequences

  • Cleaner User Interface and UX Improvements

  • Smarter Creature Behavior

  • Significant Audio Improvements

  • Re-balancing across the entire game

  • Sooo many bug fixes...

  • And many things you can't see in the demo unfortunately like:

  • ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!

In case you had not seen it, here's the summer teaser with co-op footage!

Good luck playtesting! And remember, don't let the tentacles grab you :)

I hope you all head a nice break and none of your Christmas dinner leftovers turned into fungal spreading creatures from hell. I wanted to share a little update on Demon Spore. One area that we did an overhaul of recently was the chemical reactions. Whilst escaping the lab you occasionally find chemicals or other substances such as a acid, water or sticky explo…Community15 Oct 2025Dynamic Fire: a Hot UpdateHi there! I wanted to share some progress we’ve been making over the last few months on Demon Spore. At the moment we’re taking every feature that’s not up to scratch and polishing it till it’s as shiny as possible. One big area that we did that with recently is fire. SPREADING FIRE Fire in a lot of games is often just background eye candy or just a barrier to stop you going somewhere. In the s…
