DevDiary #14: The Demo will be here!

Cryospace - survival horror in space

You are not a soldier. Not a fighter. Just an ordinary maintenance guy. Yet you have to fight. And you are forced to run. But chiefly: you must help the frozen crew survive on a spaceship. You are the only one who can save others. You are made a hero against your will. You become a leader. A slayer.

Hello, space travelers! We thought that that day would never come. But it is near! Just around the corner. The demo of our Cryospace game is one of the many that you may play during Steam Next Fest which starts today, the 13th of June, and ends on the 20th of June.

It means that you will see only a glimpse of what we are preparing for you in the final product. The beginning of the Cryospace is much easier than later levels. It's primarily a plot hook that we've been baiting players with. Here and there you will find clues that will later allow you to solve the most important puzzle of the game - what happened on the beautiful interstellar ship. And that means that you may walk around the destroyed halls of Ascendency more than once to find all clues.

Of course, you can test different tactics - trapping enemies, avoiding them, or doing WWCD (you know: What Would Conan Do)... there be some weapons to choose from to help you test those options.

We are not showing NPCs that later will be helping (or impeding) you. We are also saving for later many monsters and some other kinds of weapons. And, of course, we are unvailing only a little bit of the storyline. Because the plot is very important for us - and environmental storytelling is our tool for sharing it with you. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39210276/e9139b6bc0e5653d3e3ba4465e6a33178254fd8a.jpg[/img] Last but not least, the demo is only part of what we are preparing for you. We have also some not seen before gameplay footage that will be available exclusively. You should check also the developers' walkthrough through the demo that we are preparing - especially for you. And yeah, we have new trailer ready. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39210276/9da1ad88942fdd173f69b7931159ba1c0f03a638.jpg[/img] Remember, space travelers, this is a demo, not a final game. It may have some glitches, surprises, and shortcomings. But is a great tool for you to tell us, what you think about Cryopsace. Safe travel!
