New Demon 'Mirrorgeist' Available To Challenge NOW!
Prepare For A Fresh Challenge!
Every foe presents their own challenge in DEMONS and Mirrorgeist brings a twist to gameplay that's unlike anything you've seen before. Each encounter with this ghostly adversary fills the deck with more and more Horrifying Reflection cards. Reveal too many of them and you'll lose the game!
New Perk Alert!
At DEMONS we love 80s horror films and few weapons bring that era of cinema to mind as clearly as the chainsaw! Our new perk gives you the chance to become a Chainsaw Hero and dispatch cultists to the discard pile in the most brutal manner yet...
We've recreated the action packed feeling of those old chainsaw horror flicks in this perk by granting you an extra investigation when you kill a cultist using it. Make the most of it though, as once you've used it your chainsaw it will be sent to the discard pile!
Time Your Turn In Style
In addition to the new demon and perk, this update sees a new model and set of skins for the watch that serves as your turn timer in the game. You can visit the Fate Store in game and use tokens earned through play to unlock them immediately.
Stressing about your time running out has never been so easy on the eyes!

The Terror That Leapt From The Mirror!
Welcome back DEMONS fans!
Firstly, a huge thank you for your continuing support for the game.
We've seen lots of you having fun banishing demons since we launched to Early Access and we appreciate every single one of you who has played.
If you're enjoying the game but haven't connected with our community yet, you might want to consider joining us on Discord by clicking the banner below. We have a super friendly group of players there who are always looking for people to play with, sharing strategies and more...
We're already looking ahead from release and we have some news about our first big update, which you can expect to drop roughly a month from now.
A Ghostly Apparition Emerges From The Glass...
The Mirrorgeist appears from the mists as the first new demon to join the game following our launch to early access. Her rules text remains a mystery for now, but we'd love to hear your guesses in the comments! Here's a clue to help you figure out some of what she's about...
It's exact function might be a mystery, but it's safe to say that you'll be wanting to avoid running into a Horrifying Reflection when you play against Mirrorgeist!
The Fate Store Gets A Timely New Inclusion
A new demon isn't the only thing you can expect to see with this update. The Fate Store gets a fresh addition too, in the form of an alternative design for your in-game watch - complete with a whole new set of skins.
The digital watch that serves as your standard turn timer is certainly stylish, but if you play a lot of DEMONS then you'll spend a lot of time looking at it and we wanted to offer you a totally different visual option for when you feel like changing things up. Now you can panic as time runs out on your turn with some real retro flair!
A New Perk
We know you all love a good perk and this update will see a new one enter the game. We're keeping it a closely guarded secret though... for now.
Until Next Time
If you've been enjoying DEMONS but haven't left us a Steam review yet then we'd ask you to please consider doing so. Positive reviews are a huge help to us as a new game and we'd really appreciate it.
Look out for another news post with even more details before the update drops. You won't want to miss it!
