Salvation Denied Demo Launches on Steam Ahead of Next Fest
The demo's two missions show how the game shifts objectives and failure conditions per level, making each location a distinct physics puzzle rather than a single building template.

Digital Vortex Entertainment and developer Firevolt released a free demo of the chaotic co-op construction simulation game Salvation Denied on Steam on June 12, 2026. The game will also participate in Steam Next Fest starting June 15. Salvation Denied supports solo play or co-op with up to four players, who use gadgets like gravity guns, foam guns, and jetpacks to build structures while a physics simulation governs every object's weight and inertia. Disasters such as meteor showers can collapse buildings if balance is off. The demo includes two full missions. Mission 1, "Signal to Orbit," tasks players with building a base, capturing signals with an antenna, and surviving a meteor shower. Mission 2, "Shield Breaker," requires aligning pillars across a canyon, transporting a giant damper core to a mega impulse cannon, destroying three security towers, and breaking through the main barrier. Large construction machinery like gravity tanks, bulldozers with giant shredders, and floating platforms also appear. The full game's release date and price are undecided. The Steam store page lists support for Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and 11 other languages.
Firevolt, the indie team behind the RC car puzzle adventure WheelMates, developed Salvation Denied. Digital Vortex Entertainment, a publisher founded by industry veterans who worked on Atomic Heart, Lost Ark, and PUBG: Battlegrounds, is handling publishing. The demo's two missions each change the rules for how buildings break and what players must prioritize. In Mission 1, meteor showers act as a durability test on any structure players raise. In Mission 2, the challenge shifts to precise alignment and transport across a canyon. The game's physics simulation treats every object with weight and inertia, so overloaded pillars or hasty decisions can cause instant collapse. Players can use personal gadgets like the gravity gun to move objects, the foam gun to shoot adhesive, and the jetpack to navigate. Large machinery such as gravity tanks, shredder-equipped bulldozers, and floating platforms help with debris reuse and reinforcement. The demo is available now on Steam; the full release date and price remain to be announced.
