About this game
Having ended up on an abandoned remote island you find yourself in a life and death battle against the evil coming straight from perdition.
Enter a terrifying multiplayer horror experience featuring sessions for up to five players, where any one of them has chance of becoming the bone chilling demonic entity that will try to slaughter the rest of the group.
Daemonical is an asymmetrical horror multiplayer game in which a group of people find an unfinished demon summoning ritual. With the demonic entity released upon the island, the players must find a way to send it back to hell or end up slaughtered.
Never knowing which one of them has become possessed by the demon, it is their decision to make on if they want to team up and trust each other or try surviving alone.
The humans are played in the first-person mode. In order to exorcise the demon, they need to find the missing ritual components and bring them back to the alter. Their only alternative is hiding and surviving until the dawn, when the sunlight will purge the demon from the grounds. They can use fire, which hurts the demon, or weapons and tools hidden around the island to their advantage. While the demon can’t be killed, he can be crippled, stalled and distracted.
The demon is played in the third person, needs to simply slaughter all the humans and prevent them from finishing the ritual. He is fast, agile, powerful and deadly.
The humans are stronger when they band together, but they are easier to find. Stay together or split up to avoid ending up in a group with a demon – it is for you to choose.
Will you go for the missing ritual parts, or just try to hide until dawn? Will you help the others, or just be a lone wolf – the game leaves that up to you.
When a player dies in the game, their soul gets separated from their body and they can float around the map in the shape of a glowing ball of light. He can light the way for the players, and find the demon and follow him so the others can see where he is.
Daemonical also features a positional voice chat, so you can tell the other players that are close to you your plan, or pick a strategy together, but be careful! The demon might be listening in.
Customize your character – pick your gender, choose between various player models, clothes, colors and symbols that you can put on your clothing.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2019.!
Hey everyone, we just wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Just a short check in from us - we are extremely busy with the big update we are preparing for a while now. We can't give an exact ETA for the release of it, but its gonna be one of the most significant updates so far. We are keeping busy during the holidays too, but didn't really want to get sidetracked by a Christmas update, so sorry about that. That is the reason we didn't go through the Christmas sale either, we felt it wouldn't have a big enough effect on the game or the player base at this moment, before the update is complete. What you need to know is that we are working and doing our best! Thank you for your immense patience and support. In the meantime, we hope you will enjoy the holidays. See you in 2019.! Warm wishes, FearemRead full article on Community Announcements (Fearem_Karlo)Patch NotesOfficial

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32523750/b9709300002e823613b61d1083592ad857ff05b7.jpg Hey everyone, sorry for keeping silent for the last week or so. We are actually working on stuff like inventory system, customization, etc. which requires a bit more focus and a bit more time to finish up. Our goal is to be done with it all right before Halloween, we are preparing some promotions etc. which should happen in the second half of the month. Nevertheless, here is a small patch intended to fix some things while you wait. :) The changelog is not a big one, but here it is: v0.5.3.3d Changelog: - added more towers, included them in procedural systems - you cant pickup bones anymore when you are about to become the demon - fixed the text appearing when you cant take batteries if you don't have a flashlight - fixed bug where you get stuck in the air if demon climb runs out mid jump - fixed legs not moving when demon is crippled animation bug - fixed a bug where revival xp can go infinite if someone who you try to revive disconnected - menu chatbox click area fixed Thank you all for the immense support and patience, as always. For those of you who didn't do it yet, make sure to join us on our Discord - https://discord.gg/fearem where you can find groups to play with and share your ideas with us!

UPDATE 0.5.3.3 - NEW DEMON TRANSFORMATION, FIXES AND BATTERIES!
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32523750/6dd6ec3e80626bd7c6cfd6796c42f6b1e831b511.png Hey everyone, new update is here with a big gameplay change - the demon transformation works different now. You can choose when to transform, and it takes a bit time to do it now. This means 2 things - you can pretend to be friends with someone then turn into demon scaring the hell out of him, but at the same time he has a couple of seconds to escape so it shouldn't be unbalanced. This solves many problems with the game too that you guys pointed out throughout time. Also, the flashlight now requires batteries, and you can also find a new one on the map if you lose the current one. Many fixes in there too, full changelog below! Our free weekend is almost over, so to celebrate it we are doing a giveaway of 3 copies of Daemonical on our Discord! Join it and check #giveaways channel! ( https://discord.gg/fearem ) See you in the game, Karlo V0.5.3.3 CHANGELOG - improved demon smoke - new demon transformation implemented - you can now pick the moment when you will transform in a demon, with a 90 second time limit - flashlight now has limited power - you can drop flashlight and pickup flashlight now - there are flashlights spawned around the map now - there are batteries spread out around the map that you can pickup to charge the flashlight - demon can now break the door even when right next to them - fixed troubles with picking up some items - fixed branches not having a pickup marker - fixed voice chat icon being too low and going under the new demon UI - fixed altar particles a bit so they are more visible - fixed ritual pickup sound - fix the thing where someone can dump the ritual parts in the ocean - invisibility lasts shorter now because it was too OP - fixed demon vision to be more useful, I messed it up in one of the last updatesRead full article on Community Announcements (Fearem_Karlo)AnnouncementsOfficial

This one is focused on looks and feel, optimization, map variety, and some demon skill mechanics. We also added new exterior spawners for barrels and mannequins, and changed how barrels work. Now, when you explode a barrel, a small fire spawns in its place, which cripples the demon. You can also remove the alpha test sticker in the settings now, as some of you requested on our Discord. But here is one more exciting announcement! We will be having a free weekend paired with a 25% off discount, starting this Thursday - Sep 13, and ending on Sunday - Sep 17! Tell your friends! We are looking forward to hanging out with you guys this weekend! In preparations for it, make sure to visit our discord and say hi: https://discord.gg/fearem Cheers, Karlo PATCH v0.5.3.1 changelog - optimized and changed how volumetric fog works to be less performance impactful - demon damage blur lowered - barrels, when destroyed, now spawn a little fire which last for some time and cripples the demon - vision passive now helps with the demon damage blur - you get demon skill points slower now by default - you get rewarded 2 skill points for each kill now - you get demon points quicker while you are stalking your prey - houses get randomized more now, there is less of them, and they have more complete interiors - added a settings option to remove the alpha sticker - added a settings option to remove lens dirt - removed "bloom" being optional - disabling it influenced the experience too much, visibility greatly reduced - added motion blur - added depth of field - added motion blur setting - added depth of field setting - tweaked looks and feel a bit - added new procedural exterior spawners - fog color tone is now randomly picked each match to add a bit of variety in mood/feel between vario...Read full article on Community Announcements (Fearem_Karlo)
