Karma Keepers · published
Hi everyone! The Karma Keepers demo has reached version 1.0. The demo had fallen several months behind the full game, so I have finally brought it back up to date. This should be the last major demo update before release.
There is no single huge feature in this update. Most of the work went into making the whole game feel better:
Updated balance and progression
Controller and input improvements
A clearer interface
More visual and sound polish
Save improvements and plenty of bug fixes
The demo takes you through the beginning of your first realm. Restore Lost Souls, give your Keepers jobs, build a Faith economy, and automate more of the work as your realm grows. You will also face Corruption Waves, Shadow Incursions, and the Demons blocking your first Karma tier. Once you reach the demo limit, you can keep playing your current realm. You just will not be able to unlock any more Karma tiers or Miracles.
Karma Keepers launches on Steam on August 13, 2026. The full version continues beyond the demo with more Karma tiers, Miracles, Demons, and permanent progression through Ascension Upgrades and Divine Rebirth.
Demo 1.0 is available now on Windows and macOS. It also runs well on Steam Deck through Proton using the Windows build. Karma Keepers can currently be played in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese. I am making Karma Keepers solo, and it is my first game. If you enjoy the demo, wishlisting the full game really helps this close to release. Thanks to everyone who played the earlier demo and sent feedback. If you find a bug or something does not make sense, please let me know. Thanks for playing!
