About the Game

Abandon hope and delve into the core of an old nuclear power plant in this psychological survival horror experience. You must trust your map and radiation detector to navigate the bowels of the irradiated plant... And be forced to discover the monstrous cause of its sudden reawakening.


There are no waypoints. Navigating the plant's interior is up to you.

Demon Core is a short and intense semi-linear horror experience, focusing on atmosphere and player skill to provide a good scare.
Confined in your radiation suit, there's no parkour chase sequences - only tension and release.


Areas of the plant are heavily irradiated and nuclear waste litters the corridors. Pay attention to your geiger counter and plan your route to survive.

Core Design

  • Player Skill: No waypoints, navigation and survival relies on a paper map and geiger counter.
  • Atmosphere: Detailed visuals, immersive sound design and frightening lore make the plant come to life.
  • Stalking Horror: Something intelligent and highly irradiated stalks the plant... combat or escape is not an option.


Confront the source of the horror confined in the bowels of Gray Bay

Warning
The game contains intense graphic imagery, death, and frequent frightening elements.
