During testing, we had a pretty good idea of which moments would excite players.

Love is a Demon is full of immersive close-up interactions, cooking, typing, operating strange machines, and breaking magical sigils. You know, the usual supernatural household tasks. We assumed those would steal the show.

We were wrong.

One of the most talked-about interactions in the early game turned out to be... cleaning dishes.

We don't fully understand it either. But the data doesn't lie.

As the developer, I'll be honest, I have zero interest in doing dishes. That's what dishwashers are for, and I will defend that position with my life. And yet, something about the act of washing a plate in this game apparently unlocks pure joy in people.

Maybe it's the satisfying rhythm of it. Maybe after all the demons and emotional chaos, there's something deeply comforting about just... cleaning a dish.

Hi everyone 💌

To celebrate Valentine’s, I'm sharing a first-look demo build on Friday, February 13th at 18:00 CET. Maybe the date is a bit cursed… but what is love without a bit of bad luck and demons?

This is not the final Steam demo yet. It’s an early testing build hosted on itch.io so we can iterate quickly, squash bugs, and make sure the Steam demo release is smooth and performant.

What’s in the build?

- A first look at the Love is a Demon content

- Around 40+ minutes of content

- Survey where I collect feedback

I want not only to present you with the game I've been working on for a long time, but also to ask for feedback and support in finding bugs, odd behaviors, typos, or performance issues. Moreover, I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the game's vibes and the characters.
