Keen on checking out the upcoming psychological horror game Dread Eagle before it launches into Early Access? You’ll now be able to do so with the demo, which is now available on Steam.
The demo is designed as a free prologue to Dread Eagle, appropriately titled Dread Eagle Demo Prologue, and takes place shortly before the events of the main game. The demo includes its own unique content separate from the full version of the game. Rather, the demo gives players a separate first look at the world, atmosphere, and survival mechanics of Dread Eagle.
The demo has players being captured by Soviet soldiers and taken to a classified research site known as Unit 91-C. Hidden deep inside a secret military facility, Unit 91-C is rumored to be the place where disturbing experiments were carried out on unwilling subjects. But when the player arrives, it becomes clear that the facility is no longer under Soviet control. Something has gone wrong, and the experiments inside have left behind carnage in their wake.
As a result, players must explore the dark corridors of the facility, interact with the environment, uncover fragments of the story, and learn the basics of survival as they face whatever is still lurking inside. The demo can be played alone or together with a friend in co-op, giving players the choice to face the horror by themselves or enter the facility as a team.
“Dread Eagle Demo Prologue is the first step into the world of the game,” said Tarba Paul Cornel, Game Director at Galactic Crows. “We wanted players to feel the tension from the very beginning, but also give them something separate from the full game. This prologue has its own content, its own moments, and it sets up the nightmare that continues in Dread Eagle.”
