About This Game

You are an anomaly. A single, sentient data bit trapped deep within a collapsing, corrupted memory space. The mainframe is unstable, and the system's anti-virus subroutines are hunting you down.


In DAEMON: Lost in Memory, your only chance at survival is to navigate these shattered digital sectors, manipulate the system's logic, and escape before you are permanently erased. But you aren't just surviving the system — you can rebuild it.


ONE BIT. TWO STATES.


You are a 0 or a 1, and the whole system reads you differently depending on which. Cyan barriers are solid to a 1 and empty air to a 0 — magenta is the exact opposite. Flip mid-jump to slip through walls that were never meant to open. Enemies are polarity-coded too: share their state and you die, invert it and they can't touch you.


THINK IN BINARY


Every exit is locked by a number. Scattered bit nodes carry weights — 1, 2, 4, 8 — and stamping your state onto them adds up. Match the target and the portal opens. Then the system wires itself against you with AND, OR, NOT, XOR, NAND and NOR gates, hackable terminals, timed laser grids and sectors that are actively rotting around you.


THE ANTI-VIRUS FIGHTS BACK


Phasers, Seekers, Splitters and Shields each demand a different read of the same mechanic. Deeper in, the system's guardians wake up — the Memory Warden, Stack Overflow, the Firewall Sentinel, the Rootkit Phantom and the Malware Core. Every boss is a puzzle wearing armour.


BUILD YOUR OWN SECTORS


DAEMON ships with the same editor used to build the campaign. Paint the grid, place enemies, moving platforms, lasers and terminals, wire logic gates together in link mode, tune the physics per level, then play-test in one click and land right back where you left off.


SHARE THEM WITH THE NETWORK


Publish your levels straight from the menu. Browse, download and play what everyone else has built, rate the good ones, favourite the ones worth replaying — and race the leaderboards on all of it.


INFINITE MEMORY


Out of levels? Generate more at easy, medium or hard. Every generated sector is provably beatable — the game solves it itself before handing it to you, and re-rolls if it can't be completed.


ALSO INSIDE


  • A fully synthesised soundtrack — no audio files, every track built at runtime, in three swappable theme packs
  • Full controller support, in menus, gameplay and the editor
  • Colorblind modes and color themes, plus screen-shake and CRT effect toggles
  • Five languages — English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic
  • Steam achievements, per-level stats and leaderboards

The system is failing. You have one bit of freedom. Use it.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

DAEMON: Lost in Memory uses generative AI in two places, both during
development:

• Store page artwork — the capsule, header and background images on this
Steam page were created using AI image generation tools, then selected
and assembled by the developer. This is marketing art only; none of it
appears in the game.

• Source code — parts of the game's code were written with the help of AI
coding assistants. All of it was reviewed, tested and integrated by a
human developer.

Nothing in the game itself is an AI-generated asset. Every visual you see
while playing — the levels, characters, effects, UI and title screen — is
drawn procedurally by code at runtime rather than loaded from image files.

There is no AI running in the game. Nothing is generated while you play,
and the game does not send any of your input to an AI service.
