The demo is out!
Lucaren
The demo isn't a teaser. It's the actual game, just the lite version: same workbench, same puzzles, and the same moment when your machine finally clicks into rhythm on the tenth try. Just smaller.
What's in it
- Three full chapters – Conduction, Colour and Rhythm. 46 orders, from your first wire to the glockenspiel.
- Free play – 20 extra orders, freshly generated, on Easy and Normal. Every one can be solved, and every one has a code you can share.
- Online races – get someone to the table: same order, two workbenches, first one done wins.
Playing the demo pays off
Your first finished order earns you the "First Shift" badge and the "Demo Puzzler" title. Finish all 46 orders and you also get the "Demo Master" title.
When you start the full game on the same PC later, it picks these up by itself. The badge sits next to your name on every leaderboard – so everyone can see you were there from the start.
Your save doesn't carry over to the full game. You'll play the chapters again there, with everything that's been added by then.
Tell us what you think
The demo is also here to make Phasewright better. A bug, a wish, a spot where you got stuck – please let us know. We read all of it, even the small stuff, and we're happy about every bit of feedback.
The quickest way is right in the game: bottom right, click the warning sign and pick "Report a problem" or "Give feedback".
If that's not enough
The full game lands soon – new chapters, new parts and a lot more to build with.
Have fun building!
