There's nothing funny about this diabolical court jester! Her card shuffling antics are sure to cause your team some nightmares. Encountering the Jester in game will see all cards at all locations turned face-down and juggled through the air to land at random places.

Losing track of cards you've worked hard to reveal can be a big enough problem in DEMONS at the best of times, but the fact that the Jester's ability will also activate when she is revealed by a flashlight search makes this effect even tougher to play around.

Of course no DEMONS adversary would be complete without an awesome accompanying jumpscare! Here's a little preview of what to expect...

Are you a horror game content creator? Are you a fan of horror game streams? We've got some exciting news for you! DEMONS will be open to stream during this playtest! Whether you're broadcasting your experience live or making videos for later - it's all good!

Here's our quick 3 point guide on why we think you might want to give DEMONS a go with your community:

1. Games are FAST! A full game of DEMONS lasts just a few minutes - perfect for lots of viewer participation or filling in down time between other games.

2. DEMONS is DIFFERENT. We're proud to have created a game that puts a fresh spin on co-op horror. We think fans of the genre are going to be intrigued by this new take on gameplay.

3. DEMONS is FUN! Whether it's cackling maniacally at seeing your friend run face first into a cultist attack or cheering together as you sequence the perfect series of plays to triumph over the demon at the last second, this game delivers plenty of fun as the unexpected twists and turns of your struggle to destroy the evil summoning altars unfolds differently every play-through.


Stay scary DEMONS fans!

From the 21st of June until the 24th of June 2024 DEMONS will be running a free to join open playtest. This is an opportunity to help us hunt bugs and test new features, all whilst having fun defeating some demons at the same time!

Our Discord community will be where we are collecting feedback on your experiences playing the game. It's also a great place to find teammates for co-op games! Click the banner below to join the friendly folks already there.

For anyone returning from our previous playtests you'll find a totally new emote system now present in the game environment. Four simple icons open up the possibility of quick communication with your teammates. Warn others of a location you think might be dangerous, encourage strategic plays, or just beg for a first aid kit after being knocked down - how you use them is up to you!

We're hoping that these emotes will make co-op gameplay easier by eliminating the need for text or voice chat outside of the game for any sort of communication. We'd love to see open lobbies filling up with players willing to give these emotes a whirl as their means of planning a victory together over one of the demons.

Talking of demons...


This playtest will present three different demons to challenge. Each demon brings it's own twist to the rules of the game, so be prepared to shift your strategy depending on which you are facing for the best chance of success.

We will be revealing the demons that will feature in the playtest in updates right here on Steam over the next couple of weeks. Today we start off with the announcement of a returning demon from our previous playtests - the fearsome Leprechaun!

The other two demons that will be available will be new to all players but participants in our last round of testing will remember the Leprechaun well. Collecting a charm card before encountering him is the only way to avoid being knocked down by his attack so be sure to prioritise perk cards which allow multiple investigations in a turn when facing him.


This playtest is also a first chance to check out our enhanced game environment - the farmhouse has never looked so scary! It has also never sounded so scary, as a fresh soundtrack heaps on the retro horror vibes while you battle the demons.


We're excited to be creating something with DEMONS that's a fresh twist on the co-op horror genre and the team will be jumping in to games during the playtest to gain feedback first hand. Come play some games with us and until next time - stay scary!
