  • Though we had previously planned to have our Demo's availability be limited to last year's Halloween event, we've now decided to leave it available for the time being. We'll post an announcement if this changes. Thank you for playing!

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback in our Steam community forums or on our development discord at https://discord.gg/Nw2pMsMUvz

We're planning to continue to make improvements in the future, including additional controls settings and customization. Thank you to everyone who's played the demo and for supporting Castle Doombad!
