It’s not uncommon for developers to put out demos during events, but You Will Die Here Tonight is getting six (6!) unique demos during Steam Scream Fest.
Developer Spiral Bound Interactive will be released a new chapter every day of the fest, with each chapter focusing “on each teammate after they find themselves separated in Breckenridge Estate. Explore the cursed mansion, fight off the undead, slay puzzles with your mind, and uncover new gameplay mechanics every day. Grab each demo at 9am PDT/5pm UK, or wait until October 30th to play them all together”.

You Will Die Here Tonight is a haunting love letter to classic survival horror, blending top-down exploration with visceral, arcade-shooter action. As members of the elite ARIES Division, players will fight or flee through the 19th-century mansion as they manage scarce resources, solve puzzles, upgrade their weapons, and make decisions that will follow them through the game. And they’ll die, with the consequences of their actions and choices empowering or endangering the rest of the squad.
You Will Die Here Tonight is scheduled for release in 2023.
