Main Game

Minor bug fixes

Why add this to the demo?

I wanted to give players a fun bonus mode to experiment with something fast, replayable, and different from the atmospheric story slice. It’s a small extra for those who want more after finishing the main demo or just want more action.

What the full game focuses on

The core of Asylum 1966 remains a story driven psychological horror experience with exploration, atmosphere, and narrative tension at its heart. Horde Mode is an additional gameplay option not the main direction of the game.
