What's next?

Regarding recent videogame events, we’re proud that Prelude Dark Pain has been featured in several of them like the Game Effect Showcase, the Clemmy Best Indie Summer Showcase and the N3 that will happen this Sunday, on June 7th and which highlights the Spanish gaming industry!

The Early Access content is currently what we are shaping as we're getting closer and closer to the summer release, plenty of tough battles and new enemies to face, as well as new characters to bring in your squad, with unique skills to master in combat!

You can leave a review on the demo page, it helps a lot indie studios for visibility so if you had fun with Prelude Dark Pain's demo, let us know with your review!

Until then, we'll see you for the Steam Next Fest in a few days, enjoy the demo, share your feedback in the Steam Discussions or in our Discord.
