Rather than waiting next month for Steam Next Fest, Dragonis Games and Adonis Brosteanu have elected to make the previously-teased demo for the upcoming surreal horror adventure title Necrophosis available now on the game’s Steam page.

Drawing upon the works of Zdzisław Beksiński, the story for Necrophosis takes place billions of years after the universe met its demise. You awaken in a realm where death reigns supreme, but even death may die. Necrophosis, the curse that plagues this world, inflicts decay upon everything it touches. Here, amidst a landscape crafted with meticulous care, dread and decay permeate every corner. The characters of this world, infected by the curse, embody the very essence of decay.

The demo features a sampling of the unique mix of haunting narrations and evocative poetry found in Necrophosis, along with the puzzles that play a crucial part of a larger enigmatic narrative. Players will go through “a mysterious and macabre series of events”, coming face to face with horrific entities and mind-bending puzzles, where “the boundaries between reality and hellish visions blur into a haunting tapestry of dread.” Each location features its own theme, puzzles, and integral characters, interconnected in a non-linear fashion.

If that’s not enough, players will encounter Lovecraftian themes and entities from the Lovecraftian universe on their journey through Necrophosis.
