🌿 The Arcadian Days Alpha Demo is here! 🌿
I’m incredibly excited to finally share the first playable piece of Arcadian Days with you — a relaxing and heartfelt Alpha Demo, now available!
This project is deeply personal — a passion I've been developing almost entirely solo — and I truly hope it resonates with you. At its core, Arcadian Days is a gentle invitation to rediscover the world through the eyes of a child: full of wonder, optimism, and the quiet magic of everyday life.
🌼 What’s in the demo?
You’ll get up to 30 minutes of cozy exploration, some light lore-building, and a small taste of the gameplay systems that will grow over time. You’ll explore the tutorial area and two early environments from the game, offering a glimpse into the evolving world of Arcadian Days.
But this is only the beginning.
✨ What’s Coming in June ✨

- New character animations and cutscenes
- A proper mini-conclusion to the demo
- Lusher environments with richer foliage (optimized with your feedback!)

📅 Late June – Second Big Update
