Today, indie studio Unison Games has released a public demo for Descent of Lunaris, its upcoming sci-fi dungeon crawler inspired by classic RPGs that launches later this year on PC. It also received a new trailer, which debuted during The MIX Spring Showcase 2026. Descent of Lunaris mixes old-school design with modern visuals built in Unreal Engine 5, plus an atmospheric soundtrack from underground musicians that gets stranger the further you go.

Players can now explore the opening moments of its dark and sinister narrative, set inside the moon, with an early look at its hybrid JRPG combat and surreal mystery. The demo is available now on Steam and offers an early slice of the game’s dungeon crawling, combat, and unsettling sci-fi mystery. Set in the year 2070, the demo kicks off after a lunar mining operation picks up a strange signal from deep within the moon. An experiment at a secret facility goes terribly wrong, with machines across the base turning violent and wiping out most of the crew. 

Players will take on command of a specialized security team sent in to investigate and protect researchers during the evacuation. However, tears in reality and warped, grotesque scientists are the least of their worries when a cosmic entity appears. The Descent of Lunaris demo includes the prologue and the entire first level of the game. Players can explore early dungeon areas, meet strange characters, and get hands-on with the game’s grid-based exploration, tactical, turn-based combat, and party customization systems.
