After revealing the physical version for the PlayStation 5 back in March, solo developer Carlos Coronado has finally revealed the release date for the digital version of Horror Tales: The Beggar. The follow-up to 2021’s Horror Tales: The Wine will arrive on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC via Steam on June 17th.

On top of that, Coronado will be releasing a demo for Horror Tales: The Beggar later today on Steam. The demo features portions of the first three areas of the game, with some of the content from the main game cut down to make the demo more compact, but also upping the mystery of The Beggar that will be revealed in the full version.

According to Coronado, the release of the demo so close to the launch date is a “big gamble”, but justifies the decision because The Beggar is “a very weird and unique game.” In a news post on Steam, Coronado states that Horror Tales: The Beggar is not Horror Tales: The Wine 2.0. “It expands in not just the lore, but the gameplay itself too. Let’s just say that The Beggar is highly experimental with some game mechanics you’ve never seen in a horror game.”

The story for Horror Tales: The Beggar sees players step into the aftermath of a catastrophic event, where “terror and science fiction intertwine amidst the ruins of a shattered world.” You will explore the remnants of a once-thriving civilization, now reduced to a treacherous landscape that’s now been shaped by the chaos of cataclysmic forces.

The main gameplay mechanic has players engage in physics-based combat that “adheres to the laws of the game world.” You’ll have to think strategically in order to adapt to the constantly shifting challenges, navigating the world where every action and reaction is governed by the principles of physics.
