We’re excited to announce that ANTHEM#9 will be participating in Steam Next Fest, running from Monday, October 13 to Monday, October 20, 2025!

This time, the playable demo will include two brand-new characters:

🎲 Phannie – A hedonistic gambler who lives for risky plays

🛡️ Beni – A self-proclaimed hero of justice with unwavering resolve

Together with the returning protagonist Rubit, players can now choose between three unique characters, each offering their own skills, strategies, and playstyles.

The demo includes the first dungeon segment for each character — giving you a taste of how each one handles in battle. Compared to our previous offline demos, this version is slightly more accessible, designed to let you explore the systems at your own pace.

Be sure to pay attention to how each character’s abilities and playstyle completely change the way you approach combat. Whether you're stacking poison, gambling on high-risk combos, or buffing yourself into an unbreakable tank — there's a style for every strategist.

💠 Early Access via Discord

Players who join our official Discord server by Wednesday, October 2 will receive early access to the online demo before it's publicly released!
