About This Demo

This demo covers the first narrative act and first central minigame of The Funnel. Meet your crew mates, build gear boxes, and delve into the beginning of The Funnel's mysteries as this underground steampunk world begins to crack.

While the demo is representative of the final game, details and mechanics are still subject to change. Therefore, it is not guaranteed that saves will be transferable.

Chart your own path

Befriend your crew mates and help them out, betray their trust and tell the robot what they're up to, or ignore everyone completely and stay focused on the gear boxes. The choice is yours. The demo only covers the first act of the game and although you will begin to see the impact of your actions, they may ripple out further than you would've imagined.

A challenging minigame with narrative consequences

In this demo there are no fail states, only missed opportunities. If you don't complete your gear box shift for the day, the demo will continue but you may lose time that you could have used to help one of your crew. Both your involvement and your lack of involvement will affect your story in different ways.
