I released our demo a few days ago and somehow forgot I could post about it here. Sorry. Hi.

Back of Beyond — the demo runs in your browser:

https://polypolygames.itch.io/back-of-beyond

You place animal villagers and facilities on a 7x5 grid, and neighbours feed each other. Faith adds up, Devotion multiplies it, and at the end of every night, the whole grid fires at once into one number: Eldritch Power.

The eldritch god at your door has a number too. Clear it, and it goes back through its rift.

The demo covers five rings of the map and runs 30–60 minutes. Mouse only, desktop Chrome or Firefox. English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

We're still tuning this one. Bugs, controls that felt wrong, sections that dragged, moments you actually enjoyed — all of it helps. Leave a comment to us, or come tell us about it on Discord:

Thanks for playing.
