Publisher Secret Mode and independent developer Silent Games have released a demo for their upcoming complex and challenging single player action RPG, Empyreal. The demo offers hours of content and runs for the duration of Steam Next Fest.
Enter an enigmatic and ancient monolith. Seek out hidden revelations that will transform the understanding of creation itself. Stand against powerful threats by mastering a complex combat system. Interact with an unforgettable cast of characters via personal questlines with multiple possible endings.
Explore the beautiful shattered world. Use a vast array of equipment and collected armor to customize one’s character. Find, modify and upgrade loot. Unlock new abilities and personalize the experience to one’s playstyle.
The demo allows instant access to all three weapon weapon classes and playstyles. A wide selection of playable levels, a combat training ground, and game hub access allowing players to meet the game’s cast of characters are also available in the demo. Quick access to three different endgame gear sets allow players to sample a small subset of high-level weapons, equipment, and abilities that are reserved for those who are approaching the game’s conclusion.
