XANNIBAN Demo: Out Now on Steam


The time has finally come to trespass the premises of XANNI-CORP. The XANNIBAN demo is now ready to download & play for free on Steam:

Don the Trespasser's vessel and contain rogue machines through fast point & click gameplay. Dash through facilities, manage limited resources, and end a grim epidemic deep below ground.

Demo Features:

  • CAMPAIGN: Enter the beginning of the campaign, and survive dark caverns & facilities filled with hazards, traps, and obstacles.

  • NAVIGATION: Master a unique movement system that blends frantic point & click survival with fast crawler-like movement. Dash between rooms and continuously adapt to your environment and nearby enemies. Route your path through dynamic level elements and plan your moves.

  • RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: Keep a close eye on your ammo and sector power. Fuel the facility's generators to keep various systems & lights powered on.

  • ABILITIES & PERKS: Empower your vessel with abilities and perks, constructed in The Hub from scrap you obtain through combat encounters.

  • HUB: Return to a safe space after beating a level and upgrade your equipment, equip tools and view player stats.

  • SCORES & TIMES: Compete against other trespassers for the best times and scores on level leader-boards, viewable in the pause menu. 

  • LORE: Discover abandoned disks containing details of XANNICORP and it's machines.

  • COLLECTIBLES: Find secret items to keep in your hub.

  • CONTROLS: Use fast & simple controls on multiple input methods:

    • Keyboard & Mouse (adapts to keyboard layout)

    • Controller

    • Mouse Only

The demo is not limited-time, and will receive patches & small content updates up until the full game launch, which will (hopefully) be before the end of this year.

Thank you everyone for your extended patience and support throughout the delays. It took a bit longer than I initially anticipated to finish the demo, but I think the extra time was needed and I'm very happy with how it's turned out.

Special thanks to my supporters on Ko-Fi:

  • Matthias King

  • Vinc Ent.

  • Taanifeer

  • Phazzor

  • EthusKhan

Your aid has helped in making the game a reality, as well as helping with my personal situation, and I will be forever be grateful for the assistance you all have graciously provided. Thank you all.

Massive thanks to my GameJolt supporters as well with the charged stickers - very much appreciated.

Please enjoy, and have fun.

NOTE: No MacOS support for now - I had access to Mac hardware during prototyping but that's no longer the case. If you're on Mac and would like to test a build, please contact me through my business email.
