Triple-Demo Release: Skateboard Knight, A Passing in the Night, and Dungeon Sweeper Plus

PLAYISM (Managed by: Active Gaming Media Inc.) is proud to announce that the demos for three titles: Skateboard Knight, developed by individual developer Maroru Games; A Passing in the Night, developed by .iris; and Dungeon Sweeper Plus, developed by Setamo, have begun distribution on Steam today, October 8th.

Skateboard Knight — Demo Now Available, Playable Up to Stage 4!

You can enjoy a variety of permanent upgrades—including the Knight's progression and weapon crafting, not to mention the exhilarating action—all the way up to Stage 4. Grow your knight through battle as you aim for the boss battle awaiting you at the end of each stage, and for the stages that lie beyond!

●Attacks and forward movement are automatic, you only move up or down!

Even those who don't normally play action games can casually enjoy exhilarating action with simple controls in this Roguelite.

●Mow down enemies and level up fast, then change classes at level 20!

Every adventure starts at level 0! Raise your level as you go, choosing from randomly appearing skills to strengthen your knight.
What's more, depending on the skills you acquire by level 20, you can evolve into various classes with powerful unique skills.

● Use coins earned on your adventures for permanent upgrades!

When an adventure ends, the King converts them into upgrade items for you.
Use these items to train your knight, forge weapons, and more!

A Passing in the Night — Demo Now Available Featuring Full Voice Acting and 10 Minutes of Exploration!

In this demo, take a 10-minute aimless stroll as the protagonist "Kai" meets demons and wanders through a night world roamed by drifters and spirits, featuring full voice acting in both Japanese and English. Step away from reality for a moment and soak in the atmosphere of a quiet, eerie night town.

●A strange and occult adventure game depicting a sleepless night's walk

A demon encountered on a midnight stroll poses a question to the protagonist, "Kai."
"Will you offer up your most precious memory and be released from your suffering?"
The time given to decide is one hour. Will you greet a new morning, or abandon the life you've led until now?
Death is the natural order, and hope is a choice. Fear is what protects you.
Lose yourself in a fantastical world, presented with full voice acting and multiple endings.

●Wander alone through a quiet town

If you lose your way, pay attention to where Kai is looking, or simply walk without destination—proceed freely at a leisurely pace. By switching through Kai's "eyes," you can observe your surroundings from various perspectives. Whether you're ready or not, dawn will inevitably come, don't forget to keep an eye on the time.

●Conversations with drifters

During your walk, you may encounter other people or spirits. Their motives are unclear. Some are friendly, others not so much.
There's no guarantee you'll ever meet again, so you might want to choose your words with care.

Dungeon Sweeper Plus — Demo Playable Up to 10,000 Points!

In the beginning, there was nothing. And then there were tiles! The world unfolds before you.
But be careful, dungeons lurk beneath the pleasant looking landscape.
Grave tiles are your hint. The number of graves tells you how many dungeons are adjacent to the surrounding tiles.

As you identify dungeon locations Minesweeper-style while expanding the world map, you can discover a variety of biomes that make the world more vibrant, a host of adorable flags to mark dungeons, and dungeons that appear one after another.

The world is home to many biomes, dungeons, and various events.
Enjoy the world as it grows livelier and livelier while you expand it at your own pace,
and aim to complete your Encyclopedia!

In this demo, you can enjoy expanding a world like an endless miniature garden until your score reaches 10,000 points.
