In order to let us know that they’re planning to release their cyberpunk detective RPG Gamedec on September 16, 2021, Anshar Studios has put together an impressive-looking cinematic trailer for the game. Check it out:
And if this looks like something you think you might enjoy, there’s now also a new public demo for the game. More on that:
Hi guys! We've decided to share a new, public demo. This build is the newest, and it won't be taken down until the full game will debut in September. Enjoy it when you feel most convenient.

We don't want to spoil too much, so let us share the time-zones table below and encourage you to share the feedback about this demo in a special section in our community-hub - DEMO FEEDBACK.
- New locations and a new case
- NPC avatars
- Female gamedec model
- Improved VFX, and SFX

- Many fixes and quality of life improvements
Then, there’s this PC Gamer preview of said demo. A couple of sample paragraphs:
I don't know if Anshar Studios, Gamedec's developer, is a fan of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments, but the deduction system is very similar. You're given several conclusions, and must create a path towards the correct one (or what you think is the correct one) by linking clues to it. Sherlock was great because you could easily draw faulty conclusions and pin the crime on the wrong person, and I wonder if we'll see something similar here. The developer says the game "never judges" your choices, which makes me think it might.
As I explore the crime scene I learn a few things that add weight to the theory that the victim was shot down by one of those anti-vermin drones. Apparently giant fruit bats are a problem here, and it seems the drone may have mistaken the dead man for one as he fell from above with those wings on. But why was he falling through the air in the first place? And why was he wearing holographic wings? The best detective stories throw up a lot of intriguing questions, and Gamedec does a decent job of making me want to find answers to them.
