Hello ██████,
After a long wait, I am excited to announce that the NEW Playable Demo for SUBVERSIVE MEMORIES is available NOW!
Last year, I released a demo on Steam and, along with other incredible developers, on the HauntedPS1 Demo Disc. It was a great experience but that demo is very outdated now, so I decided to publish something more in pairs with the full release. This current version isn't just a vertical slice; it's the first section of the game. So, even if you tried the first demo last year, give this one a shot. I'm sure you won't regret it.
What Awaits You in the Demo?
You play as Renata, a young woman that can communicate with the spirits of the dead. She has been drawn to an abandoned military facility in search of her ██████. But soon you will find that Renata is not alone, and the horrors that have been once buried in the history of Brazil, have emerged to drag you back to a time where your voice was shut and your freedom seized.
The Core Gameplay Loop:
Finding your way in the dark: use your flashlight to navigate the corridors of the military base, while fighting monsters that can only be seen by their shadows. But be careful! If you run out of batteries, you will be trapped in the dark with your enemies. Spend your resources wisely.
Solving puzzles: look for clues to move forward. All the answers you need will be in this world.
Uncover the secrets: Renata's paranormal abilities will let her communicate with certain spirits along the way. Pay attention to what they have to tell you to find out what happened to this place.
We Need Your Feedback!
Even though this demo is a faithful representation of the final version of the game, the full release is still on the last leg of development. So, there is still time to make changes and improvements. Also, your feedback is important and I'll be glad to hear about your impressions in terms of:
What scared you the most?
Were the puzzles logical and satisfying?
How was the overall performance on your system?

Social media (x.com and Bluesky)
Or simply reply to this devlog!
Your feedback will directly help us shape and polish SUBVERSIVE MEMORIES into the most memorable experience it can be.
What's Next?
The full game will, of course, be much larger, introducing new locations, deeper lore, more terrifying entities, and consequences for the choices you make. But this demo is the foundation.
