Hello Horror Tales fans!

The Demo of Horror Tales The Beggar just got released for everyone to enjoy! You can download it in the steam main page of Horror Tales The Beggar. The Demo features sections of the first four levels of the game. Give it a try, it is free!


Three years have been put in the making of this game. It is a very beautiful moment for me. The final game will release June 17 with a 40% discount. That means it is also a great time to wishlist Horror Tales The Beggar now!

If you liked the game or you have some suggestions on how to improve it, please step in the Steam Discussion forums of The Beggar! I would love to hear your feedback.

But hey, I even have MORE good news! Yesterday I set up community localizations to get aditional languages inside The Beggar. In just ONE day, two community members localized the game to Brazilian Portuguese and German! Please cheer for them! Awesome, beautiful people indeed. These are their Steam profiles in case you want to add friends!

I've hidden two easter eggs for them in the demo too. Will they find them?

You may be tempted to think your Steamdeck, potato or semi-potato computer could never run Horror Tales The Beggar because of the quality of Unreal Engine 5, Nanite and Lumen used in the game. Well, you are WRONG! Although high end computers will for sure enjoy the graphical fidelity of the game, the game has a very robust video settings menu! There you can downgrade everything to even ultra-low or totally disable some effects. There is even a dedicated steamdeck settings button to make the game run almost 60fps flawlessly on the Steamdeck!

So yep, that's all for now. Please play the demo and leave a wishlist to Horror Tales The Beggar. It does help a lot :)

Hello Horror Tales players!

Well, today I have a BIG surprise to you all: The Free Demo of Horror Tales The Beggar will release tomorrow 16:00 CET. The demo features parts of the first 3 areas of the game, when some content cut down to make the demo more compact while also leaving some of the lore mistery to be resolved in the final game!

Releasing this demo SO close to the release date (June 17) is a big gamble for me, but the demo had to be released because various reasons.

Horror Tales The Beggar is not Horror Tales The Wine 2.0. It expands in not just the lore, but the gameplay itself too. Let's just say that The Beggar is highly experimental with some game mechanics you've never seen in a Horror Game. For those of you doubting to buy the game or not on release, you can try the Demo and see for yourself if this is your cup of tea!

You can try the Demo on your Steamdeck! The game features a "Steamdeck" mode in the video settings menu, and I'd love for you to try it if you are a steamdeck owner. Lots of hours have been focused into making an amazing steamdeck experience. Now it is time for you to judge if it was worth it!


After you have played the demo, please come to the Steam Discussions of the game and post your feedback! Although the game will be released shortly in June 17, I am a quick worker and if there is some fixing to be done I can DO IT!


If you love what you see in the demo and would like to help me with localizacion of the Demo and The Full game, please let me know here! We are currently looking for localizations to French, Arabic, Korean, German, Italian and Portuguese! Having also Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek and Swidish localizations would be absolutely fantastic too!!! Of course, your name will also be featured in the credits of the game :) The localization is just 2145 words long, so it should not take you longer than 1 hour.

Access to Community Localizations

Why community localizations for those languages? In my previous experience with other released games, including Horror Tales The Wine, economically it is just not worth it to pay for a profesional localization in those languages. That is the simple and crude truth.


To finish this long post. as you may know, the videogame industry is in crisis mode from quite some time. Layoffs everywhere, indie game that sell 0 copies, etc. I have not been inmune to this crisis and the sales of my games have significantly decreased since two years ago. That why I am betting my gamedev future in one big gamble: Go big or go home. That's why I am releasing a Demo so close to release AND also will feature a 40% discount for release. The game will never be as deeply discounted for years.

See you all tomorrow in your youtube and twitch channels playing the demo or in the discussions reading your feedback!

Don't forget to Wishlist the game. Big hug,

Carlos
