Alongside the updates and fixes today, we have been listening to feedback from our friends in the community who want to invite their friends to play Deceit 2. We are excited to announce that Deceit 2 will have a playable (and experimental!) demo, starting today!
Dip Your Toes into the Shadows: Introducing Deceit 2's Demo Mode!
Curious about the treacherous corridors and heart-pounding moments in Deceit 2? We're excited to announce the release of our demo mode on Steam, allowing players to get a taste of the deception, risk, and strategy that lie within our game - all for free.
If you're keen to try out matchmaking, you'll need an invitation from someone who owns the full version of the game.
There are a few limitations in the demo to keep in mind:
- Matchmaking: Demo users cannot make a public party - they must join a party hosted by a non-demo player. Party hosts must share their party ID with demo users for them to join, or invite them using a Steam Invite/from their Steam Friends List.
- Shop Limitations: Demo users won't be able to purchase items, mutations, Shillings, or cosmetics.
- Accolades: As we prepare for the introduction of Accolades, it's worth noting that progression in this area is exclusive to the full game.
The demo provides both newcomers and those familiar with Deceit 2 an opportunity to see the latest updates and improvements we've made. If you enjoy the demo and want to dive deeper, the full game is waiting for you.
Ready to give it a try? We hope you enjoy the experience, and as always, we appreciate your feedback.
