Download Demo

In an effort to share their experiences during the development process, the developers of Schein also released the Dev-Demo of Schein. This is different from the regular demo, because it has constantly been updated in the course of development. This is a short, specially designed level, with a selection of main gameplay elements. And the monsters had to stay at home, so it’s absolutely safe to try.
