Demo for Descent of Lunaris Now Available on PC

Descent of Lunaris, an upcoming psychedelic dungeon-crawling RPG, has received a playable demo on PC via Steam. The demo allows players to step into the game’s mysterious lunar setting and experience its classic-inspired first-person dungeon exploration ahead of the full release.

The demo begins with a prologue scenario set inside a secret lunar research facility where an experiment has gone disastrously wrong. As reality itself begins to fracture, an elite security team is deployed to protect scientists while they attempt to evacuate the base. Strange anomalies soon twist the minds and bodies of the researchers, turning them into grotesque versions of their former selves. As the mission unfolds, the team also encounters the presence of a cosmic entity whose appearance suggests the disaster runs far deeper than initially believed.

After completing the opening sequence, players gain access to the main mission and can create their own level one squad. Each operative can be customized with different attributes, skills, and equipment, allowing players to experiment with party compositions before venturing deeper into the lunar facility. The demo grants full exploration of the game’s first dungeon layer, with the ability to return to the base at any time to heal, adjust the team lineup, or test different class combinations.

Descent of Lunaris draws inspiration from classic grid-based dungeon crawlers, presenting exploration through a first-person perspective as players descend through labyrinthine environments beneath the moon’s surface. Combat encounters combine formation-based tactics with grid-oriented positioning, encouraging careful planning to protect party members while exploiting enemy weaknesses.

The deeper players venture into the underground complex, the greater the psychological toll becomes. A sanity system tracks the mental stability of the team, with prolonged exposure to the dungeon’s horrors triggering unpredictable and more volatile encounters. Throughout their descent, players will also encounter strange characters who may offer assistance, rewards, or valuable information that helps unlock new areas.
