Solo dev Moonless Formless has announced a Steam Next Fest demo for its upcoming horror action RPG, Withering Realms, accompanied by a brand new trailer. Announced last year and taking place within the Withering Rooms universe, Withering Realms is expected to launch on Steam Early Access this May.
The demo consists of the opening hours of the game, where players can explore Beynon House (an introductory dungeon) before heading out into the Saintswood (the game’s first field area). There are plenty of secrets for players to discover, along with several items, culminating in the first two boss battles.
Withering Realms takes place in 1926, ten years after an immense “occult event” halted the Great War and transformed the world overnight. The dead walk, spirits roam, and a gifted few can even cast spells. Clover, a 9-year-old girl, awakens alone in a decaying mansion just miles from the epicenter of the occult event, and soon discovers that she is a ghost.
Clover’s only companion is a strange doll cobbled out of wood, metal, and human remains. Together, they set out to explore the mysterious town of Penwyll and the sprawling graveyards that surround it, seeking a way to bring Clover back to life.
Players will descend into tombs, caves and rotting estates in search of treasure, upgrade materials and magical artifacts. Said materials can be used to craft weapons and machines to slot into the doll’s missing right arm, such as a Pivoting Greatsword, Chain Rock, Machinegun, or Flamethrower.
Steam Next Fest will run from February 23 to March 2.
