Welcome back for another Dev Blog!

Hey everyone, we've got some exciting updates on our upcoming demo relaunch and a big announcement—we’re jumping into Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest!

We're thrilled to report that the demo's development is going smoothly, and we'll be releasing it later today!

Just like before, you'll be able to dive into all the roles and mechanics in the demo. The only difference with the full game is that you’ll only have access to the Influenza Virus disaster (both in quick and normal game mode). Of course you’ll still need to purchase the full game to experience all disasters.

Starting next Monday, we'll be part of Steam’s Endless Replayability Fest. With five unique disasters, six roles to choose from, two game modes, and countless decision paths, no two games of Project Planet are ever the same!

Plus, we’re rolling out a sweet 30% discount during the festival. So if you are still on the fence about getting Project Planet, this is the time to join the Endless Replayability Fest and get your copy!
