What's available in the Demo? 

In the Defiled West Demo, you can explore the entirety of Stickstead and unlock most of the early game weapons such as revolvers, shotguns and spectral weapons. 

You can upgrade one of each of the abilities, but upgrading further is restricted at this stage.

We tease some content, such as etching & runes, but this is intended for later in the story.

You may capture and reap the benefits of all 4 stickstead bounties, but chores will be limited to 6. 

Besides that, no content is reduced or limited - its a "slice" of our game - not a tailored experience! We hope its enough to convince you to follow along and support us with development. 

Game Info

The walls between worlds are thinning, and the Wild West has little hope of being tamed. Usurped by vile forces, the guardians of the Ethereal Rift were left buried with their boots on, opening the floodgates to a tidal wave of corruption and decay across the Famine Frontier.

As the last surviving member of the rift guardians, you're presented with a choice. You can sip your whiskey and watch the darkness devour the land you once swore to protect... Or you can take up arms and fight for the once-proud frontier! 

Start your journey at Riftwood Ranch and venture through the first of eight carefully-crafted locations in the Defiled West Demo, crawling with all manner of unfriendly folk. From the predictably slow undead to the relentless storehands and mischievous poltergeists, there's a guaranteed fresh hell lurking around every corner.

Buildings

Clearing a town doesn't mean much if you leave the buildings brimming with the dead. Whether you're sealing rifts, fighting off hordes, or simply evicting unsavoury squatters, each outpost launches a new assortment of challenges your way. Greet them face-first and unlock new weapons, gadgets and unique abilities!

The Soul Scale

Half dead, half alive, and all vengeance. Your soul is tethered to an ethereal scale granting benefits both earthly and other-worldly. Unleash a pulse of spectral energy, empty your chambers in a cyclone of lead, or absorb incoming damage and reflect it back at your adversaries. The abilities at your disposal rely on the balance of your soul - avoid taking too much damage, but be careful you don't deal too much damage either!

Your ties to the spectral realm spare you from dying by traditional means, but keep your wits about you; an unbalanced soul can quickly lead to your demise. Grievous wounds might be remedied by second chances, but if you lose control of your Soul Scale, you'll find that you've become fully mortal... Or completely spectral. You won't be able to survive either way.
