About This Demo

The full opening hour of gameplay for survival-thriller JRPG Die Hand Gottes, free!

Humanity pushed artificial intelligence to rewrite DNA and eradicate disease. Instead, it unleashed biological and technological horrors. Our greatest achievement became our newest parasite.

Gottes Riordan came home because his sister asked him to. He wakes in the woods in a storm, hours missing. His father's house is dark, his sister is missing, and a one-eyed machine is hunting them. 

• Wake in the storm. Find your way through the woods to your father's dark house.

• Let the storm wake inside. In the hollow, something supernatural wakes inside Gottes.

• Hold the campsite. Fight off a monstrous pack of biological terrors.

• Take the long way. Follow the creek and an old deer trail to an optional boss fight with the Hart, a mutated stag with a fifth limb.

• Face the Collector. Search Hal's farm and confront the machine hunting your family.

• Collect optional items and weapons. Thoroughly explore the rich world for multiple secret areas, items, and gear including the Tactical Warbow. 

• Advance. Pick your path through a dynamic skill-tree unlocking incredible enhancements for your powers. 

• Drive. Take the county road at night in a racecar style sequence, running away from and over zombies, toward the city of Shinar Height's edge.

• Face the horror. See the opening sequence that sets off the rest of the action inside the city of Shinar Heights! 

Real-time battles with classic JRPG commands and no separate battle screens. Hand-placed fixed cameras. Play in HD, or switch to LowRes for the classic 32-bit look. The demo ends at the city's edge.

Eve reached for one fruit. We fed a machine the whole tree. What could go wrong?
