DIBARO Free Demo Hits Steam Ahead Of December 10 Launch

Creasien is distributing a free demo of DIBARO, a digital board game for up to six players on a hexagonal board, on Steam. The demo coincides with Steam Next Fest, which begins October 19, 2026, and the full version is scheduled for Steam on Windows on December 10, 2026. Crowdfunding for an analog board game version opens on CAMPFIRE from October 17.

The demo covers all five play modes. Training is a free-for-all for up to six hunters, Challenge runs a three-hunter team through 100 stages with equipment unlocks, Survival tracks how many waves of wolf, tiger, and dragon monsters a player lasts, and Demon Lord and Hero assigns hidden roles with different victory conditions. Multiplayer supports six-player battle royale, two-player duels with three hunters each, and hidden-identity matches.

Each turn a dice roll grants one of five mana types: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, or Void. Mana has fixed matchups, and each attribute has a finite pool shown on every player's screen, so spending and hoarding are both visible to the table.
