The MIX Showcase | Persona and Shin Megami Tensei-inspired dungeon crawler ‘Descent of Lunaris’ launches playable demo
Today, indie studio Unison Games has released the public demo for upcoming Descent of Lunaris, giving players their first chance to step inside the moon and see what’s waiting below the surface. The demo is available now on Steam and offers an early slice of the game’s dungeon crawling, combat, and unsettling sci-fi mystery ahead of its launch on PC later this year.
Set in the year 2070, the demo kicks off after a lunar mining operation picks up a strange signal from deep within the moon. An experiment at a secret facility goes terribly wrong, with machines across the base turning violent and wiping out most of the crew.
Players will take on command of a specialized security team sent in to investigate and protect researchers during the evacuation. However, tears in reality and warped grotesque scientists are the least of their worries when a cosmic entity appears.
The Descent of Lunaris demo includes the prologue and the entire first level of the game. Players can explore early dungeon areas, meet strange characters, and get hands-on with the game’s grid-based exploration, tactical, turn-based combat, and party customization systems.
Descent of Lunaris mixes old-school design with modern visuals built in Unreal Engine 5, plus an atmospheric soundtrack from underground musicians that gets stranger the further you go.
The Descent of Lunaris public demo is available now on PC via Steam, with the full game coming soon.
