The Demo

Trapped in a crumbling mansion, you need to scavenge for items to outsmart and outlive an ancient witch hunting you down. If you've played the original Dread Weight demo, get ready: the new version has MORE story, MORE horror and cool unlockables to hunt!

  • A sequel to Cooking Companions you can go into completely fresh: returning players get additional Chompettes, sidequests and story from the MC's perspective!

  • Japanese and Spanish translations coming!

  • Casey Mongillo (Evangelion) voices Clover, the talking rabbit!

  • New music by Cicada Sirens (Signalis), Jarren Christ (Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion) and Demidevi (They Speak from the Abyss)

  • New horror animations by David Romero!

  • New inventory system allows you to set traps for her...or discover alternative routes to escape threats.

  • Death is not the end: encounters with ghosts are rewarded in Dread Weight. Surviving them gives you additional story and background to the characters, while the game story continues to progress. No frustrating dead ends or 'Game Over' screens to deal with!

  • Listened to your feedback: no boss fights, skippable credits, more romance.

  • The Dread Weight Demo has four endings and four different encounters.
