It’s time to begin your journey…
We’ve been itching to let players get their hands on this one, and now they can: the first playable demo for Curse of Resthaven is now live on Steam.
The upcoming genre-blending mystery is the second game developed by our friends at the award-winning Hilltop Studios, makers of the critically acclaimed Lil’ Guardsman. It puts you in the shoes of Ambrose, newly appointed governor of a struggling island colony – a role he took in order to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his niece, Amalia.
Before he find her, Ambrose will get caught up in sinister conspiracies, deal with a surreal plague, encounter eldritch horrors in the island’s wilderness, and find himself trapped in a time-loop that ends with Resthaven’s destruction in a cosmic cataclysm.
This focused demo remixes the opening into three condensed two-day loops (as opposed to the full game’s six-day loop). Players can question Resthaven’s inhabitants, trade resources to upgrade the colony, prepare card-based expeditions, and learn how to use your experiences to benefit your next run.
Master the game’s systems, uncover dark secrets, and carry your progress forward: anyone who complete’s the demo’s primary objectives will unlock permanent skill points and a gold bonus that transfer to the full game when it launches later this year.
We can’t wait to hear what you think of Curse of Resthaven, as well as your many theories as to what’s really happening on the island. Share your thoughts with us and the developers (as well as fellow Resthaven fans) on the newly-launched Hilltop Studios Discord server.
You can download the demo on Steam, and can wishlist the game on Steam, PlayStation Store and Xbox Store.
Resthaven needs you. Amalia needs you.
Best of luck, Governor.
