About This Demo

About the Demo/Prologue:

When an experiment at a secret facility goes terribly wrong, an elite security team is tasked with protecting the researchers as they prepare to evacuate. Reality breaking anomalies are warping the minds and bodies of some of the researchers, transforming them into monstrous mimics of their former selves. The elite team is given their orders to protect the evacuation but tears in reality and warped grotesque scientists are the least of their worries when a cosmic entity appears.

Once the prologue is complete, you will be briefed on the main mission and given full control to create your own level 1 party, assigning attributes and skills as you see fit. Once your team is ready and a leader is selected, you are free to explore the entire first level of the game. You can return to base to heal and change out team members as often as you want to try out different classes and skill combinations.

A STABILITY SYSTEM THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

Push deeper for greater rewards, or retreat before you’re overwhelmed.

• Stability degrades as you explore, increasing risk and reward

• More instability leads to more dramatic and dangerous combat encounters

• Your environment can shift and reveal new pathways

• High instability unlocks rare encounters, events, and opportunities

• Be careful, danger can follow you 

SQUAD-BASED STRATEGY THAT DEFINES YOUR SURVIVAL

Your team is your greatest weapon, and your biggest risk.

• Build from 9 classes, each with distinct roles

• Create powerful combinations of skills between party members

• Swap operatives at the lunar base to adjust your strategy

• Upgrade skills, equip gear, and specialize for survival

TWO COMBAT SYSTEMS. ONE ESCALATING THREAT.

Every encounter tests your planning, positioning, and control.

• Manage frontline and backline roles and optimize your attacks

• Movement, positioning, and environmental hazards matter in tactical combat

• Exploit enemy weaknesses with damage types

• Damage types matter. Check your loadout for Sharp, Blunt, Kinetic, Energy, and Spirit  

• Adapt to evolving enemy patterns, or be overwhelmed

About Descent of Lunaris:

The year is 2070.

A lunar mining operation detects a signal emanating from deep within the moon. Moments later, systems fail, machines turn hostile, and much of the base is lost.

You are sent to investigate and lead a team of operatives into a shifting lunar underworld.

As you descend within the moon, you encounter twisted reflections of civilization—structures and forms that should not exist, yet feel disturbingly familiar.

Are you being tested… or judged?

Where this descent leads, and what waits at the bottom may change humanity forever.
