The sequel takes a bolder direction with a galaxy-spanning sci-fi and cosmic horror tone, departing from the original's small-town Canadian setting. It features six playable characters across self-contained chapters, a JRPG and deckbuilder combat system with 12-card decks, and party synergy mechanics. Chia shares development insights including the value of releasing a public demo, which has earned over 90% positive ratings on Steam and Xbox. The demo is available now, with the full game launching in 2025 on Steam, Xbox, and Xbox Game Pass. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
