No Way Back: Dark Horizon — free demo now on Steam

BlackMountainsStudio, a small independent studio from Turkey, has released the free demo of No Way Back: Dark Horizon, a first-person survival game, on Steam. The full game is planned for June 24, 2027 on PC (Steam).

You wake up on an island with your young son beside you, and neither of you remembers how you got there. From that moment on, everything you do is about keeping him alive. He isn't a companion who trails behind you: he gets hungry, he gets scared, and when something is close you decide whether he follows you or hides. If you lose him, the game ends.

Days are spent gathering, hunting, keeping a fire going and building shelter. When night falls, the island changes — something moves out there in the dark, and how well you prepared decides what happens next. Along the way you piece together why you're here and what the island is hiding. The demo is free and available now; the game has subtitles in 14 languages.

Highlights
• Keep your son alive. He gets hungry, he gets scared, and when danger is close you decide whether he follows or hides. Lose him and it's over.
• Survive the island. Gather, hunt, keep a fire going, build somewhere safe to sleep.
• Be ready for the dark. Something moves on the island at night; what you did during the day decides whether you see the morning.
• Find out why you're here. Neither of you remembers reaching the island — the answer is somewhere on it.
• Play it your way. Full controller support, save anytime, adjustable difficulty, subtitles in 14 languages.
