Play the Tales of Seikyu Demo NOW!
Get a head start on your Seikyu adventure with 3 glorious days in the countryside. The Tales of Seikyu Steam Next Fest demo is playable NOW, so head on over to the demo page to download it.
We've packed plenty of activities into this demo, but don't worry about experiencing it all in one go; the demo is designed with replayability in mind, meaning that you can redo any villager interactions that didn't go as planned ≧ ﹏ ≦
We hope you have a blast playing the Tales of Seikyu Next Fest demo, and we want to take this opportunity to remind you that this is just a small teaser of what’s to come! The demo is by no means a final representation of the game and we’ll be doing oodles of development work between now and when we hit Early Access in Spring 2025. With that in mind, we’d really appreciate some feedback on your demo experience. Please use this form to share your thoughts with us when you’ve had a chance to play!
Finally, we’d sure love it if you could leave a review on the Tales of Seikyu demo page here. This is one of the single best ways to support the game and our indie dev team. Not only do your reviews show us what you love and what we should be working on, but they help us out by letting Steam know that people are interested in the game. There are so many amazing demos out there playable during Next Fest, but this also means we’re competing with lots of voices for Steam’s attention, and your reviews make a big difference here!
[h2]Meet the Villagers[/h2]
Your visit to Seikyu starts at the customs registration office, where you'll meet the adorable Seabert and get set up. From here, it's a tour of the town with mayor Yui Oda where you'll meet the villagers. From the charming Yohji to the battle-hungry Nyotengu, there are lots of first impressions to make. You'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know the villagers over the course of the demo, find out their favourite gifts, and maybe even go on a date!
Top Tip: Looking for something to give as a gift? One Yokai's trash is another's treasure, so make sure to check any bins that you pass by. There's no penalties for rifling through the trash and, who knows, you might even find something valuable!
[h2]Don't Miss Demo-Exclusive Armour[/h2]
One thing that might incentivise you to load your save data at Early Access is our cool, demo-exclusive Serpent Armour set! Celebrate the Year of the Snake with a fresh new look that can only be obtained by playing our Steam Next Fest demo. It’s our way of saying thank you for being with us on this magical journey ╰(*°▽°*)╯
[h2]Uncover Your Fox-Spirit Ancestry[/h2]
There are Inari Shrines dotted all over Seikyu and activating them will help you on your travels. There's much to learn about your ancestry. Uncover your latent powers of transformation, explore the ruins, and take your first steps on discovering what happened to your parents and the rest of the fox spirits. Your sister, Kon, is keen to uncover all she can about your shared past and there's plenty to learn from the villagers too.
[h2]Celebrate Your Arrival[/h2]
Your final day in Seikyu will conclude with a celebratory bonfire to mark your arrival. This is the perfect place to meet any villagers you might have missed on your travels. Everybody is excited that you're here and for what you'll achieve throughout your time in Seikyu. There's a lot of pressure, but we're sure that you and your sister can rise to the challenge and win the hearts of the villagers.
[h2]Load Your Saves at Early Access![/h2]
Had a blast playing the demo? Wish you could just pick up where you left off when the game hits Early Access? Say no more. We’re giving everybody who plays the demo the option to load their save data once Tales of Seikyu enters Early Access in spring this year – perfect for players who crafted cool items or started building relationships with villagers. Of course, you’re welcome to start afresh if that’s more your style. Either way, there’s plenty to look forward to as the seasons change and we approach our Early Access launch.
Wow, you made it this far without rushing off to play the demo? Talk about an iron will! Make sure to head on over to our community Discord if you want to discuss the demo with other Seikyu fans (we recommend using the spoilers channel to discuss in-game content!).
As always, we want to sign off with a big thank you from all of us here at ACE. It means so much to see lots of support for Tales of Seikyu and hearing from the community always puts a big smile on our faces! That’s all from us…we’re off to write more romance dialogue for your favourite NPCs (✿◡‿◡)
