Gamescom 2021 - Sacred Fire Demo UPDATE!
We're excited to be a part of Gamescom 2021, a digital event showcasing many different games through trailers and demos. To celebrate, we have updated our demo once again, based on your feedback!
Many of you enjoyed our new role-playing experience. The 2 themes that come up in the feedback are that to enjoy the game even more:
- people want to understand all the details of what’s going on
- people want to feel more in control
To address the first one, we updated the demo last month with an interactive tutorial and detailed tooltips. And we’ve refined both of these aspects in today's update.
But more importantly, we redesigned how changes are displayed, so that they instantly communicate the significance of the change.
This makes the experience so much more enjoyable, filtering out the setbacks that are easy to fix, and setbacks that need a long-term approach to fix. It significantly decreases the ‘Oh no, the game is punishing me’ feeling, as you know how to fix it, you are in control.
So now all the short-term changes are displayed directly in the UI, and only long term changes show up as floating texts in the scene. As a bonus, this change makes each scene easier to read and players can feel more immersed and more in control at the same time.
So, thank you for all the time and effort you put into sending us feedback, we appreciate it. We can honestly say, without it, we would have never thought of this change. And it does make the game better in a perceivable manner.

What's new?
Player More In Control
- Using UI to signal which penalties are significant and which one are common and easy to overcome
- Recharge motivation less punishing
- Rewritten combat scenes that could result in unintended player character behavior
Quality of Life improvements
- Made it much easier to explore the story and follow what's going on by reducing the number of floating texts displayed.
- FPS capped at 60 frames per second
Understanding the Game made easier
- Character Creation: refined all attribute and bonus stats tooltips, making effects and causes easier to read
- Combat: refined tooltips to expose all combat mechanics
That's it for now! Make sure you join us on Discord if you haven't already to let us know what you think.

Sacred Fire Developer Playthrough #2
First, a big thank you to everyone who has played the demo! We're happy to see that you're finding all the different narrative branches in the first chapter already.
We will be doing another demo playthrough on Steam (time and date converted to your local timezone in the sidebar to the right!), focusing more on character creation and taking an in-depth look at the turn-based combat. If you like character optimization and min-maxing, this one's for you!
And for the uninitiated, you can still try the demo for Sacred Fire during the Steam Next Fest!

New Trailer, Demo At The Steam Next Fest, and Release Window!
We're excited to share a bunch of announcements with you. Starting with a brand new trailer! It shows you the enemy you fight: the merciless and seemingly endless Roman legions. Take a look below.

Steam Next Fest
Of course, we wouldn't just make a new trailer for nothing. Starting June 16th, you will be able to get your hands on the first public demo of Sacred Fire during the Steam Next Fest! The demo will let you play through the first chapter of the story with updated visuals and in-game choices, as well as voice acting. Doug Cockle, best known as Geralt in the Witcher franchise, is cast as the voice of your older brother. Joining him are Michelle Gonzo as your childhood friend, and Ben Britton as a local bully.
We can't wait for you all to get your hands on the demo. Make sure you join us on the official Sacred Fire Discord to discuss and compare your playthrough of the demo with the rest of the community when it goes live!
Note: the demo will only be available for the duration of Steam Next Fest (June 16th-22nd), so make sure you try it out in time!
Release Window
We're not done with the announcements just yet. We're proud to announce that Sacred Fire will be coming to Early Access in Fall 2021!
The choice to launch in Early Access comes after careful consideration. We understand this makes the wait for the finished experience longer, but the key factor outweighing everything else, is that we believe, involving the community and listening to your feedback, is the way to create the best possible game. It feels like a natural step for us to take, as Sacred Fire, since it’s first inception as a purely text-based experience, was developed with community playtesting and community feedback.
The Early Access version will contain full character creation and customization, and the first of three acts, introducing many of the companion characters, tough dilemmas and turn-based boss fights. The first act is a contained story with a rewarding ending and offers thousands of choices, two completely separate story branches and plenty of nuanced differences when playing as a male or a female protagonist.
We hope you're as excited as we are! Make sure you join us on Discord to discuss the news, or leave a comment down below.
