Hey everyone!

We’re streaming the full NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii demo today as part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase 2025! You’ll get a proper look at the game in action, timeline-based puzzles, strange signals, and a reactor on the verge of collapse.

We’ll be hanging out in chat during the event to answer questions, talk puzzles, and hear what you think. Whether you’re here for the story, the mechanics, or the mystery, we’d love to hear from you.

After the stream, we’ll be continuing the discussion over on our Discord. Feel free to drop by, share your thoughts, or just lurk and read theories. You’re welcome either way!

⚠ Spoiler warning:
The demo (and its puzzle solutions) will be shown in full. If you’d rather experience it yourself first, now’s your cue to pause.

NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii is now part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase on Steam, and the public demo is officially live from May 29 to June 5!
