About This Demo

🗿 SHARDANA DEMO

By day, they're your neighbors. By night, they could become your worst nightmares.

You awaken in a small village on a forgotten island, deep in the heart of ancient Nuragic Sardinia. You remember little of your past, but one thing is certain: you are a Shardana.

The villagers seem to lead peaceful lives. Some tend the fields, others fish, while the rest go about their daily routines. A few welcome you with kindness, while others prefer to keep their distance.

But something isn't right.

A mysterious infection is spreading across the island. People are changing, some villagers have disappeared, and nobody seems willing to talk about what happens after dark.

You have only a few hours of daylight to prepare. And you don't even know what you're preparing for.

🌅 Two Days. Two Nights. One Chance to Survive.

The SHARDANA demo throws you straight into the heart of the adventure, offering approximately one hour of gameplay, playable solo or in online co-op with up to 6 players.

Explore the village and its surroundings, get to know the inhabitants, and learn to survive in a world where every resource could make the difference between life and death.

Gather wood and stone, build your first shelter, and get ready before the sun disappears behind the hills.

Because when night falls, everything changes.

The people you met during the day may no longer be the same. Shadows come alive, and the shelter you've built becomes the only thing standing between you and whatever lurks in the darkness.

And when the sun finally rises again, you might discover that the village is no longer the place you remember.

🔥 What Awaits You in the Demo

🌿 Survive and Build

Gather resources, discover your first crafting recipes, and build a shelter before sunset. Learn to make the most of what the island has to offer to survive the night.

🌊 Experience Island Life

Meet the villagers, explore your surroundings, and take part in activities such as fishing, digging, and traditional ancient games.

🌑 Face the Infection

Survive two increasingly dangerous nights. Defend your shelter against corrupted creatures and discover what happens to the villagers when darkness falls.

🤝 You Don't Have to Face It Alone

Play solo or share the adventure with your friends in online co-op for up to 6 players.

🗿 Discover a Forgotten World

Take your first steps into an adventure inspired by the Nuragic civilization, ancient traditions, and the legends of Sardinia. What you'll experience in the demo is only a small part of the mystery surrounding the island.

🌅 And When the Second Dawn Comes?

You'll have learned how to survive. You'll have witnessed what lurks in the darkness. And perhaps you'll have begun to realize that the infection is only one piece of something far greater.

Beyond the sea, new lands await exploration, new dangers lie ahead, and an untold story is waiting to unfold.

The demo is only the beginning.

Download it for free, let us know what you think, and if you want to continue the journey, add SHARDANA to your Steam Wishlist.

The sun is setting. Have you built your shelter yet?
