City of Demons

A 2 player (or solo) push-your-luck adventure game, lasting about 30 min.

Your tribe's survival hinges on accessing hidden knowledge deep within a ruined city's tech center. As the bravest runner, you must sprint to the city's core, collecting beacons, information, and junk with which to craft bizarre gear. Endure scalding pockets of radiation and evade the lurking creatures known as Demons that grow deadlier near the city's center. Beat rival runners to reach the core and secure your tribe's future.
