Greetings, Explorers!

🚪 The gates are finally open. The Vaults Below Durn: A Field Study Demo is officially live and free to play on Steam right now!

Step into the depths. Your task is simple but perilous: navigate the dungeon using nothing but your own wits and the ominous notes left by the previous explorer.

👁️ What to expect in the Demo:

  • The First Five Rooms: Including the first two clue variations. Expect to find more clues, and dealing with combinations of clues in the full release.

  • The Core Deduction Loop: Each room has three doors. Only one is safe. Look closely at the ground, the walls, and the notes to deduce the path forward.

  • Atmospheric Tension: No cheap jumpscares. Just rich atmosphere and increasing dread as you plunge deeper.

  • A Taste of the Field Study: Uncover pieces of lore left by the last explorer.

  • Accessibility: Play how you want. Many input methods are supported, and accessibility features can be found in the settings.
