  Umbra Survivors joins Steam Bullet Fest

  Umbra Survivors joins Steam Bullet Fest The darkness opens its gates. Umbra Survivors is part of Steam Bullet Fest — and the free demo is now playable. If you love dark fantasy, bullet-heaven chaos, powerful card upgrades and that dangerous “just one more run” feeling, this is the perfect time to enter Umbra. Thousands of enemies. One survivor. No mercy. Umbra Survivors is a 3D Gothic Survivors-like where you fight through escalating waves, roll rare upgrades, combine characters with starter weapons and slowly turn your run into something completely broken. Every level-up can change your build. Every wave can spiral out of control. Every mistake can be your last. What you can try in the demo Fast 3D survivor-like gameplay in a dark Gothic world Characters and starter weapons that can be combined into your starting build Card upgrades with rare rolls for powerful and chaotic builds Escalating waves with bosses, elite enemies and growing pressure Leaderboard-driven runs for everyone chasing one more wave A demo that is actively evolving with player feedback Why this event matters Umbra Survivors is my first real game project — built from scratch, without previous game development experience, driven by a love for roguelites, bullet heavens and dark fantasy worlds. Steam Bullet Fest is a special moment for the game: more players can discover Umbra, try the demo and help shape what it becomes. If you play the demo and find bugs, balance issues, weapons that feel too strong or too weak, or builds that feel amazing, please share your thoughts in the Steam discussions. Play the demo and support Umbra Visit the Umbra Survivors Steam page If you enjoy the demo, wishlisting the full game helps a lot. Every wishlist, every piece of feedback and every shared clip pushes Umbra forward. Thank you to everyone testing, sharing and supporting Umbra Survivors. The horde is waiting. Good luck in the Bullet Fest.
