Hey everyone!
Storm Horse Simulator is taking part in Steam Next Fest! Now is a great time to saddle up, play the demo, and set out across the Planes as you begin building your herd. We are also happy to share that we plan to release the full version in the next two months.
View game pageFirst of all, thank you for all the detailed feedback and reviews. We read it carefully, and it has already led to many changes. Right now we are reworking the dialogue to make it shorter, livelier, and more authentic, and that is just one piece of it. We are focused on plenty of the other things you have pointed out too, and we will keep refining the game as we head toward launch.
What You Can Play in the Demo
The demo includes the full tutorial and the entire first map, the Planes, with all six main quests and the mechanics that come with them. You will meet the spirit of Father Storm, track down and earn the trust of your first herd members, infiltrate a settlement to rescue a captive stallion, haul hay with a hitched wagon, help a wounded ally, and face off in your first rodeo encounter with the Colonel. It is a complete slice of the experience and a solid foundation for everything that follows.
What Is Coming in the Full Version
The full game opens up the entire world and goes much deeper. Here is some of what is on the way:
All four maps to explore: Planes, Forest, Winter, and Desert, each with its own visual design and environment
Main questlines across every region, with 6 quests in the Planes, 7 in the Forest, 3 in Winter, and 5 in the Desert
A dedicated leveling and upgrade system for your character
An expanded herd system, growing from a capacity of 2 horses up to 8 through story progression, ranch upgrades, and the skill tree
A core call and escort loop, where you call nearby horses to follow you to safe zones
Dynamic open world events like rescuing lost horses or helping NPCs gather their herds
Pressure and survival mechanics, including storms, nightfall, and predators that raise the tension during escort missions
New gameplay mechanics such as NPCs riding horses, attaching a cart, the rodeo mechanic, Ahuli shooting at enemies, bucket-carrying QTEs, and cannon sequences in the Winter and Desert quests
Connected progression and transitions between every map
and much, much more!
Thank you for playing Storm Horse Simulator!
We will see you on the trail, and the full version is not far off now.
