About This Game

Demonic Episode is a unique first-person online co-op gaming experience in which you travel to Lost Places in a group of content creators to banish a demon back to hell. Each round plays completely different due to an advanced randomized game mechanic, offering a very high replay value with several hours of gameplay. The completely different Lost Places, with their almost photorealistic graphics (thanks to Unreal Engine 5) and the environment created with attention to detail, let you and your friends dive into the game.

Story


You're part of a group of content creators who team up with a medium to explore Lost Places for their new video series, Demonic Episode. Once there, you want to provide your community with the best entertainment possible and try to track down paranormal phenomena. However, a much more evil secret lies dormant at these Lost Places, and you unleash a demon that begins a relentless hunt for you. Now it's up to you to fight the demon and, with the help of the medium, perform a ritual to banish the demon back to hell.

Gameplay

Choose from one of 4 character classes, each with two associated characters and different abilities. Then go to one of currently 3 different Lost Places (more will be added during the Early Access phase) to work closely together in three phases:
  • In the first phase you'll get an overview of the map and try to detect paranormal phenomena.
  • In the second phase, the Hell Demon is unleashed and starts chasing you while you try to weaken it. Your flashlights will also help you drive the demon back, preventing it from taking out you or your teammates.
  • In the third phase you will prepare the banishing ritual with the help of clues to send the demon back to hell.

During the 3 phases, the time of day progresses, so you'll have to use your lights to orient yourself at night. In addition, the powers of hell are gradually unleashed, influencing your gameplay.

Singleplayer info: It is possible to play the game in singleplayer. However, for the best gaming experience, I recommend playing the game in a group of 2 to 4 players.

Replay value

Demonic Episode offers an elaborate system to make the game experience of each map always different for maximum replay value. In this regard, many different game mechanics are randomly defined for each map at the beginning of the game. For example, the demon, paranormal phenomena, the ritual place, puzzles and much more are left to chance. Thus, if you are in the same level several times, a new challenge awaits you each time.

Technology


The game is developed with the latest Unreal Engine 5 version and therefore offers an almost photorealistic gaming experience thanks to real-time lighting and 3D models with extreme and never before seen detail. Despite the new features, the game has been designed to be playable even on non-up-to-date hardware.

Leveling, XP & Perk system (Perks only after Early Access Release)

During gameplay, players can earn experience points to level up their character. As the character levels up, points can be earned to exchange for a randomized perk. This in turn can be equipped before the game starts to give your character advantages such as increased battery life and longer sprint times.

Other features already implemented in the game

  • Create & join private or public game (in-game & via Steam overlay).
  • Chat system in the lobby and during gameplay.
  • Gameplay & graphics related game setting to customize the game experience to your needs and hardware requirements.
  • ... and much more.

The demon hunt in three phases captivates me every time. Even if you think you know the map and the enemies, every round feels completely new. The maps are designed with a lot of love, my favorite is the abandoned village. Playing together with friends is the most fun, especially when you rotate the character roles, you have to adjust to new challenges and tasks every round. I'm looking forward to many more hours of play, because it's simply addictive. I'm especially excited to see what new things will be added.

I can recommend the game to every gamer, whether you have played horror games before or not. I had a lot of fun playing on my own as well as in a group of four and I loved the jumpscares! The story of the game is really interesting, and there are even three different maps to play on. And since all the items spawn in different places every game it doesn't get boring.

Only an hour in and I'm already hooked. "Demonic Episode" combines Unreal Engine 5's photorealism with spine-chilling horror in a unique co-op experience. The randomized challenges promise hours of replayability, and teaming up with friends intensifies the thrill. Can't wait to delve deeper. Grab it while it's on discount!

The gameplay loop is very boring, and the jumpscares are not scary but they are very annoying. Please do not add more jumpscares if you want to further develop this game into a good game.

After playing 2-3 rounds, here's my perspective: The trailer was interesting, but felt the gameplay fell flat. Phase 1: Wander around aimlessly for about 5-10 minutes to find clues in the map with simple objects being tossed at you and the occasional mp3 scream. Phase 2: The ghost now roams, except it's not roaming, it's B-lining it to your exact location constantly. Scaring it away with the light gives you about 15-25 seconds of breathing room before it automatically B-lines it to you again as you may still be trying to find some object or objective to banish the ghost. Phase 3: Didn't make it here. The gameplay felt lacking and it seems the randomized game mechanics they're talking about is the 'possessed objects' being scattered in different locations around the map which aren't really a threat.

This game looked interesting from the video on the store, however the moment i opened it i got hit with so many unnecessary high quality textures that i had to lower them to the minimum, on top of that the objectives aren't really that clear and when the game starts it doesn't let you pull the notes on what you need to do, you walk aimlessly on the map without an idea on what to do if you choose a character that is aside from the medium or the technician. overall i didn't had a pleasant experience and it was so confusing, and anticlimactic,. the only fun part that i could rescue was when a bucket flew to my head.
