ByOwls finally announced the launch of the first playable demo

We at ByOwls are super happy to finally announce the launch of our first playable demo, which will take you on a swashbuckling sci-fi journey across the galaxy.

Now live as part of Steam Next Fest, the demo showcases the first full mission of the game, introducing players to some of the key gameplay mechanics found in Whispers of the Void.

You will begin the game aboard a spaceship, navigating its controls to warp to a distant desert planet. Upon arrival, you’ll get a taste of the game’s fluid VR combat that blends gunfights and energy sword fencing, solve an ancient puzzle, scale a mountain, and face off against the game’s first boss — all with the help of your trusty alien frog companion.

The Whispers of the Void demo is available now on Steam for free, offering 30-60 minutes of gameplay.

Whispers of the Void is a rip-roaring journey across the galaxy that combines space travel, puzzles in hostile environments, gunfights, and energy sword duels, all wrapped in a gripping sci-fi narrative. You will race against the clock for control over Edem, the most powerful substance in the universe. A cause of at least one planetary implosion, Edem offers a key to the puzzle that could stitch the galaxy back together — or tear it apart.

Armed only with your ship and your wits, it’s up to you to stop the collapse of civilization. The fate of the galaxy rests in your hands — hop on for a crazy ride!
