About This Demo

Knock on the Occult Door: Demo

Welcome to your first appointment.

In this free demo, you play through the opening client session of Knock on the Occult Door, a gothic visual novel where every meeting is a ritual.

You are a ritual specialist, visited by a troubled spouse whose guilt may be hiding something darker. Your role is to read their energy, select your protective accessory, and perform one of several occult bindings to decide their fate.

Will you offer them release… or bind them tighter to their own sins?

This demo includes:

• The complete first client scene (“The Betrayer Spouse”)

• Choice-based dialogue with multiple binding outcomes

• Accessory selection that changes responses and risks

• Atmospheric voice acting, gothic visuals, and ritual effects

• A taste of the moral weight and occult mechanics of the full game

Step into the ritual space. Watch the mirror. And remember, even your first client may not be safe.
