The demo gives players an early look at a horror game built around stealth mechanics tied to a CRT-style display and a slow, combatless robot protagonist.

Kazakh indie studio Enunion Team released a Steam demo for the PC horror adventure IRONWAKE. Set in 2050 after nuclear war, players transfer consciousness into an industrial robot to explore a Soviet underground facility. The demo runs 30 to 45 minutes. The full game launches October 27, 2026, with Japanese support planned.
Enunion Team's IRONWAKE demo is now on Steam, offering a slice of the linear psychological horror set in 2050. The surface is nearly gone after nuclear war, and survivors need something buried in the old Soviet facility Sector V-4. A living human cannot enter, so the player's consciousness is transferred into the industrial robot UNIT MARK-1 via neural link.
The view is through the robot's worn display, rendered in an old CRT style with distortion, noise, and scan lines. Inside, grotesque beings called Utilizers react to light and sound. The robot is heavy and sluggish, so combat is not an option. Players must power down to hide, but that also cuts off visibility, forcing careful timing on when to restart. Multiple endings depend on which hidden clues are found.
