“I don’t know how best to break the news. You’re stuck here. We all are.”
Bytten Studio & Raw Fury are back with our Cassette Beasts demo for you to play!
Washing up on the beach of New Wirral you meet Kayleigh who rescues you from a monster attack and becomes your guide in this new world. From there you may explore Harbourtown and its surroundings. Fight, record & level up as you and Kayleigh explore some strange events surrounding the town.
Want to know more about the monsters that you'll face, or just want to browse who you can meet in the demo? Check out our Cassette Beasts Official Wiki!
The demo also features local Co-op. First, complete the initial tutorial of monster transformation and unlock your partner:

Changelog
If you played our demo last time in Steam Next Fest last year, here's some tweaks and changes made since then:
- Improved UI flow for setting up local co-op multiplayer
- Bootleg monsters in the overworld have a glitchy TV static effect to make them easier to notice
- The mouse cursor now automatically hides itself after a few seconds of inactivity if you are mainly using a controller
- The controls are now displayed on the screen for a while when you start a new file
- When selecting a sticker from the inventory to apply to a tape, stickers incompatible with the tape are shown greyed out at the end of the list
- The minimap has been made larger
- Momentum is now preserved when landing after a short hop
- Fewer items are now lost upon defeat
- Many bug fixes and performance improvements have been made
We're happy to announce that yes, your save game from the demo will carry over to full release, so none of your progress will be lost. So please hunt bootlegs to your hearts delight. ♥
Be sure to ask us any questions you may have or even just share what bootlegs you've found!
Oh! It's Valentine's day tomorrow - and Pombomb has brought us a love letter! We'll have to find out what it contains tomorrow, I think!
