Playtest Now Available for Download!

Good evening, friends. We've opened the Playtest to everyone.

All you need to do is visit the Steam Page, find the Drake Playtest section, and click 'Play Now' if you've already requested access, or 'Request Access' if you haven't yet.

Please note that this build is early and doesn't reflect the final features and quality of the game.

The game segment used in the Playtest is set around the midpoint of the game, where your character has already developed some skills and equipment. We've prepared 3 character prototypes for you to choose from.



[h3]Good to know:[/h3]

The Playtest takes approximately 20-40 minutes to complete.

The version available for Playtest supports gamepad control and runs on Steam Deck. For Steam Deck, we recommend using Medium graphics settings.

Send us screenshots of achievements you earn on your first run in our Discord!



[h3]Features to help you in your playthrough:[/h3]

  • A kick move that effectively destroys nearby enemies (sometimes too effectively).
  • If you die, the Resurrect button will teleport you to a safe place and restore your HP.
  • The displayed keys are tied to your current keyboard layout. If you use a Cyrillic layout but are accustomed to WASD, press Alt+Shift, and the displayed prompts will automatically change.
  • When shooting, aim directly at the enemy, taking their height into account.
  • Experiment, as there is no single correct way to complete the demo.


After completing, the game will prompt you to leave feedback. Your opinion about this part of the game is very important to us! If you encounter any bugs, write to the relevant section in the Community Hub, or contact us on Discord.



[h3]Known Issues:[/h3]

  • Long initial loading time (up to 30 seconds).
  • Pressing anything during loading may cause the game to crash.
  • The character may not stop in time or may move beyond the accessible area.
  • Bugs can pass through closed doors or floors.
  • The cursor limiter doesn't work indoors. You can move the cursor past a wall, and it behaves incorrectly at the edges of some walls.
  • Playing on a gamepad, you may lock the character when interacting with devices. (Unconfirmed)


[h3]Upcoming Planned Features Not in This Demo:[/h3]

  • Introduction and tutorial.
  • Inventory.
  • Enemy AI overhaul.
  • Humanoid NPCs and Enemies.
  • Save and load system.
  • Character skill system.
