The screenshot shows the game’s character dashboard with only Sako, Tobias, Briar, Quintin, and Maria available to choose from in the demo. The character featured to the right of the dashboard shows Briar, a young brown-skinned girl with braids in a half updo with two buns wearing purple fishnets on their arms and legs with a purple and black collared dress with an apron with pockets full of art-related options and black boots. Briar is a Spiritual character class dubbed “The Artist” with item cards of the palette knife, oil paints, sketchbook, and an item equipped is a brush belt.

Even better, death is only the beginning in this demo. Each run, you’ll earn Spirit points to customize your next attempt to reach the penthouse!

👀 Do you dare take a ride? Those who die, try again can also earn a bonus in the full game! Don’t forget to check out the Library while you are at it.

The screenshot features the Shop in the game with the shopkeeper, Dorian Graywolf, who is a violin-playing werewolf holding a violin bow with glowing yellow eyes in a dapper 3-piece pin-striped suit. To the left of Dorian, there are cards (Pack of Gum, Smokescreen, First Aid Kit) for purchase as well as items (Funeral Veil, Sunglasses, Rollerblades). To his right is a button to “DESTROY CARDS” for 300 gold. On the far left, shows your 3 character group of Sako, Tobias, and Quintin as well as their focuses and health as a group. Below the team is a button shaped like a door with a golden wolf head knocker to “LEAVE ROOM.”
