The Playtest app now runs the Next Fest demo in place of the full game.

Your full game progress is safe. The demo starts fresh in its own save, and nothing carries over.

The demo
- Act I of the campaign, all three classes, co-op on.
- Finish Act I to open the Ascent, up to level 5's boss, and the Horde at tier 1 (free).
- Dungeons, Demon Battles, leaderboards and achievements are off.
- F2 sends a bug report. Exit offers a short survey.

Combat
- Enemy bolts now hit what they visibly pass through, so casters are more dangerous.
- Ranged damage reduction now works on boss arrows, rain and elite meteors.
- Homing weapons no longer miss.

World
- Levels are a little brighter.
- Maps mark gates and stairs from the moment you arrive.

Performance and fixes
- Less memory use, shorter waits between levels, no hitch when breaking props.
- Many co-op fixes: host changes, votes, reconnects.
- A startup change aimed at launch crashes on Steam Deck. Tell me if it helps.
