Hey everyone
We’re thrilled to announce that the demo for Behind The Smile is officially live on Steam! 🥳
What is Behind The Smile?
You play as a youngster sent to stay with your grandparents in their quiet, snow-covered home. They seem warm and welcoming… but soon, small details start to feel off. Strange conversations. Locked doors. A smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes.
And the twist?
Your grandparents are powered by real-time AI, able to understand and respond to your voice. You can speak to them naturally, question their motives, and experience dynamic, unpredictable interactions as the story unfolds.
This demo includes:
The opening chapter of the game
Voice interaction and adaptive dialogue
Exploration, atmosphere, and choices that matter
A glimpse into the unsettling world we’re building
A quick note from the team:
This is the first time we’re opening our servers to a larger audience, and while we’ve tested extensively, there’s a chance we might run into a few technical issues along the way.
If that happens, we truly appreciate your understanding — and please know we’ll be working hard to resolve any problems as quickly as possible.
Your feedback means the world to us. 💬
Let us know your thoughts in the Steam Discussions what surprised you, what scared you, and what you’d like to see next.
