Evaluation

Demonheart: The Cursed Trial launched into Early Access and received regular chapter updates throughout development — Chapter 4 in February 2024, Chapter 5 in May 2024, Chapter 6 in September 2024, and the final Chapter 7 in March 2025. On May 27, 2025, the developer officially transitioned the game out of Early Access, declaring it fully complete with all seven chapters, partial voice acting, multiple endings, and a new macOS version. The launch post explicitly states "the visual novel is complete with all its planned features and fully playable from the start to the bitter end." An artbook DLC was released simultaneously as a companion product. Both DLC items listed on the store are released. The developer mentioned in the March 2025 final chapter post that they were "planning a new potential game in this universe," but this refers to a future separate project, not additional content for this game. No unshipped content has been announced for The Cursed Trial itself.

You wake up in a strange place, only to realize you have been abducted with seven other people. A city guard, a royal soldier, a witch, a bard, a librarian and two criminals - all captured and brought together by an Infernal force.

A demonspawn appears, delivering a chilling message: there are demonhearts among you - people blessed with regeneration, but cursed to be hunted by everyone else. You are one of them, and you'll do anything to keep your secret safe.

As tensions rise and trust erodes, mysterious deaths start to occur. Can you trust anyone? In this chaos, you may find yourself drawn to one of your fellow captives.

Will you survive the demonspawn's trial?

This game is set in the Demonheart universe, but knowledge of the other Demonheart games is not needed to enjoy the story.
