Now that the year is coming to a close, we thought it was the perfect time to look back at the rollercoaster that was 2023!
Here are just a few highlights:
Gamescom 2023 & New Trailer!
We were so happy that Mandragora got a chance to shine at Gamescom this year! ???? We had a booth on the showfloor (complete with giant werewolf statue, of course) where we were able to provide interested event attendees with a short demo of our game, and the atmosphere was incredible! To top it off, our trailer was selected by Geoff Keighley to be part of Opening Night Live – which was just an absolutely surreal moment for us!
???? If you missed out on watching our trailer live, don’t worry! You can still watch it over on our YouTube channel:

Exclusive First-Try PC Demo!
We were also able to bring a hands-on demo to Gamescom too. Thanks so much to everyone who played and shared their feedback with us!
Whenever we have a demo available later down the line that’s open to more players, we’ll be sure to let you know here in a news update!
???? You can also still check out our gameplay video of the demo right here:
