The Protagonist Demo

About this game

This Demo lets you step into Chapter IV of The Protagonist.
You will wander through the fractured corridors of Varon Orimir’s mind, guided — and tormented — by his own inner demon.

Haunting whispers confront you with his past:

  • The disappearance of his daughter.

  • The death of his wife.

  • The unbearable guilt that nothing could have changed these fates.

Over the course of 15–25 minutes, you’ll experience an atmospheric descent into memory, regret, and distorted reality.

Created with care by the two-person studio BeforeYouKnowGames, this demo offers a first taste of the psychological horror and emotional storytelling that define The Protagonist.

Enjoy the ride — but don’t lose yourself in the subconscious.

The Protagonist Demo

A psychological horror adventure set in the frozen aftermath of a dead sun. Explore buried memories, search your lost daughter, and descend into a world where guilt speaks louder than truth.
