Explore Death Trash's gristly apocalypse with a permanent demo

This month, the Steam Next Fest opened the floodgates to literally hundreds of free demos—most of which went back offline after the festival closed its doors last Tuesday. But some didn't, including Stephan Hövelbrinks' wonderfully meaty pixelated RPG Death Trash...

The fantastic looking Death Trash gains a permanent demo

After a success of Steam Next Fest, the upcoming post-apocalyptic flesh-filled world of Death Trash is sticking around with the demo becoming permanent.

The Death Trash demo is now permanently available on Steam

For the past couple of years, the only experience we had of Death Trash was seeing the occasional .gif or work-in-progress screenshot on developer Stephan Hövelbrinks' Twitter account. Players got a chance to try the Fallout-inspired RPG game during the Summer Game Fest, which featured the first-ever Death Trash demo playable by the public. Now that demo is a permanent addition to Steam, so you can dip your toes in the contaminated, pixelated waters of Death Trash.

Death Trash is an RPG set in a post-apocalypse that's severe even by apocalypse standards. Civilisation has fallen thanks to an incursion by extra dimensional cosmic horrors, and what's left of humanity remains either hiding within its ruined cities or wandering the blasted wastelands as outcasts. Giant machines stalk by the ruined settlements, apparently feeling rather smug about themselves.

You'll create a character and pick some starting stats, and then find yourself waking up in some kind of ancient bunker filled with old computers and robots who would like you to be on your way as quickly as possible.

Demo is here to stay

Happy to announce that the Demo on Steam is permanent now.

Progress from current save games will not carry over (to prevent bugs), but after Early Access release you can start in the demo and then continue in the Early Access version.

Please use the demo to check out the game.

[h2]Early Access Infos[/h2]

This is all the info you need:

August 5th -> Early Access here on Steam.
One third of final game. Unfinished.

Buy if:
1. You're happy with demo, want a few more hours of that.
2. You want to support us, including ongoing feedback.

Otherwise, just wait for the final version that is coming in 2022 or whenever it's done.

You can use the demo to check if it runs on your computer. The demo version will be updated alongside the Early Access version and will have the same technological base, minus the extra content.

[h2]Why we do Early Access...[/h2]

We have a strong grasp on the world of Death Trash and its personality. Don't need additional ideas there.

But gameplay needs a lot of feedback still. Genre is fixed, but game feel, usability, variety, progression etc. will improve a lot by this process.

Consider supporting us through Early Access already, but decide on your own if you like playing unfinished games or not.
