Get the free demo on Steam, for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Offering a condensed version of Act I of Mask of the Rose, you’ll be able to explore select locations across Fallen London, introduce yourself to some key characters and encounter Mr Pages, one of the mysterious new Masters who have recently taken over London, in its office at the Bazaar.
At the opening of Mask of the Rose, Mr Pages has employed your housemate, Griz, who has in turn found a few pennies’ work for you as census taker. The census goes some way beyond the expected (Surface census forms never did ask if anyone in the residence was in love), so you’ll need to approach conversations with care to find out all you need to know.
Demo Feedback
We're really excited to know what you think about exploring Fallen London from this perspective for the first time. The very best places to talk about it will be the Steam discussion forums for Mask of the Rose, or if you want to join one of our community spaces, there's Discord, our forums, and the Fallen London subreddit.
There are a few things it’ll be useful to know before you send feedback:
- In the final game there will be a text log, so you can scroll back through conversations
- There will also be audio sliders under Settings
- And of course, there will be saving in the finished game (the final version of Act I will be fleshed out from this version, so carrying choices over wouldn’t be possible).
Spotted a bug?
The demo has been through our internal testing, but if you see any bugs or typos we missed, please let us know by emailing mask@failbettergames.com, attaching your player log. Here are some instructions to help you find your player log.
We will probably only update the demo if something pretty bad has slipped through, but this will let us fix everything before we release the full game. Thank you!
Release Date News
We have also announced that Mask of the Rose will release in Oct/Nov this year. Hopefully this taste will keep you going until then!
As ever, your friends,
Failbetter Games
