Demons Within update 3 is out!

Here we are! Update 3!

While Update 4 is already heavy and well into its development, Update 3 brings a bit of a different flavor from Update 2. After the major events of Update 2, it's finally time to sit down, reflect and figure out what to do next. A little bit of chill time, so to speak, but still with plenty of stuff to see. I was glad to be able to start showing a closer look at some of the people that surround Resnick.

This update starts branching things a little again. There are choices that lead to different outcomes and one big choice at the end that will define the next chunk of the game you see. I won't spoil things, but since that separation is pretty big, we will start with one side in the next Update and move on to the other afterward. We had a poll on Patreon on which character we should follow first and the one that won will have its side implemented first! The other will have to wait a little while longer, but we'll get to it as well regardless.

I hope you enjoy this update and all it brings!

Update 3 Changelog

• Around 17k words of new content

• New character sprites and new expressions and assets added to some existing sprites

• Added tooltips to the main interface buttons when hovering over them with a mouse to make their purposes clear

• The Essence Wheel will now appear in places where new content is planned but hasn't been developed yet. This includes the bad ending of Update 2, for example

• Improved auto-skip a little more so it stops automatically when the Essence Wheel shows up, but not in a way that can lead to invisible sprites behind the wheel

• Demons Within has a new logo! Its new color scheme will start reflecting on the interface updates coming in the next updates

Thank you so much for everyone's support in making all of this a reality! I'd like to extend a special thanks to all the new people that decided to throw in a few bucks and support it on Patreon! It's been growing and, with it, I'm doing my very best to scale it into new and better stuff for the game! All this support enabling me to make more of what I dream and envision into reality is the best I could ever ask for! <3

That being said, all the positive feedback and support from people excited about playing the game has been incredibly motivating just as well. I'm thrilled that people are enjoying the concept of Demons Within and I have so many plans to expand it in so many ways! We'll get there!

As a final announcement, for those that haven't seen it yet... Since Demons Within is growing, we have two new things going on! The first is a Twitter account specifically for Demons Within news, updates, previews, fan art, and everything else! You can follow @DemonsWithinVN on Twitter to stay updated with ease.

This is something that I'd been getting a few requests for. The Demons Within discord server was a closed server for patrons to get their rewards in only, pretty much, but now I've finally decided it's time to open it to the public! If you'd like a place in Discord to see updates and news or just hang out and talk about Demons Within (or anything else, really), you can now join the official Demons Within discord server as well! Hope to see you there!

Thank you!
