Deadland 4000 is participating in the Steam next fest with an updated demo build!
This update adds some much needed polish, as well as adds a bit of new content. The demo currently allows the player to reach the first ending of the game. The full version will have more content, an optional second ending to strive for, and more.
Deadland 4000 is making rapid progress and is planned to release in 2022. More news coming soon.
