Game Director Scott Christian said the following:

“The new demo lets players take their first real steps onto the island of Resthaven, and get pretty far along!

There’s a lot to chew on, but like the beginning of any good mystery, we hope it leaves players with questions, wanting more, and hopefully a little bit troubled and horrified.

With the demo, Next Fest, and launch all so close together, I’m thrilled that players can dive in now and then roll right into the rest of the game when Curse of Resthaven launches on October 29.”

On that note, the new Curse of Resthaven demo can now be downloaded for the PC via Steam, and one can wishlist the title via its respective Steam page.

If it walks like a deckbuilder and talks like a deckbuilder, it’s probably a deckbuilder, right? RIGHT!?
