Get ready to sprint through shifting realities and reshape destinies—1000 Deaths, the award-winning 3D platformer from Pariah Interactive, is set to debut its first playable demo during Steam Next Fest, running from June 9 to June 16.
Blending psychedelic visuals with high-speed gameplay and narrative depth, 1000 Deaths invites players to explore the inner worlds of four alien beings. These Headspaces—twisted, architectural reflections of each character’s psyche—set the stage for fast-paced, mind-bending platforming challenges.
But this isn’t just about speed and precision. Every major decision you make rewrites each character’s future, unlocking entirely new levels and story branches as they age. Whether you’re diving into surreal narrative pathways or testing your reflexes in challenging Arcade stages, the game rewards both thoughtful exploration and raw skill.
The Steam Next Fest demo offers a slice of the story and a taste of the action, giving players a chance to experience the branching narrative and sharpen their platforming chops before the full release.
1000 Deaths demo launches Monday, June 9, and runs through June 16 on Steam. If you’re into speedrunning, storytelling, or just want to see how media and choices shape identity, this is one demo worth diving into.
