Sagestone Games has announced that the demo for their upcoming open-world survival game Delverium will be available on Steam starting February 7th. The demo arrives just before the Steam Couch Co-Op Fest, giving players a first look at the game’s features and co-op gameplay. The full version of the game is expected to be released in 2025, with confirmed support for the Steam Deck.

Delverium immerses you in a vast, procedurally generated world full of opportunities for exploration, crafting, farming, and dungeon delving. Designed for 1-4 players, it offers both solo and co-op modes, with options for local split-screen and online multiplayer. In the game, you can gather resources, build shelters, recruit NPCs, and embark on dangerous adventures to uncover the secrets of the land.

Crafting and building are vital aspects of Delverium. It’s crucial to unlock and craft various items, from tools and weapons to food and building materials. Shelters provide safety from the dangers of the wilderness, while recruiting NPCs unlocks trading opportunities that accelerate your progress. For those who prefer a calmer pace, Delverium offers extensive farming mechanics.

You can till the soil, plant crops, and raise animals, and you can also gather wild ingredients and fish. Harvested produce can be combined into culinary recipes, which are then used for survival or traded for valuable items. In addition to all of the above, you can also dive deep into exotic biomes, hidden caves, and dangerous dungeons to mine rare ores, collect unique treasures, and defeat powerful enemies.
