We first reported on Cathedral: Crow’s Curse back in December 2025 when a new trailer showed off some of the gameplay in more detail. Since then, a new demo has been released and is available to download on Cathedral: Crow’s Curse’s Steam page. This standalone prequel lets players step into the role of Crow and explore cursed forests, ancient ruins, and fast-paced action.  Crow must venture through cursed woods and forgotten ancient ruins to uncover the roots of the Sentinel order and confront the dark forces at its core.

The demo drops players into the heart of action, designed to showcase the game’s core mechanics. Players will explore two distinct areas, The Deep Forest and Elarion’s Refuge, as well as gain access to multiple items and abilities that highlight combat depth, traversal, and progression. The game features some beautiful pixel art and seems to have in-depth gameplay esspecially with the combat that builds on the oriignal game.

In a press statement, the developer said. “Independent Swedish developer Demberborn Interactive today announced that a playable demo for Cathedral: Crow’s Curse, a standalone prequel to their acclaimed action-adventure Cathedral, is available now ahead of Steam Next Fest, running from February 23 – March 2, 2026.”
