Independent Swedish developer Decemberborn Interactive today announced that a playable demo for Cathedral: Crow’s Curse, a standalone prequel to their acclaimed action-adventure Cathedral, is available now ahead of Steam Next Fest, running from February 23 – March 2, 2026.
Play as Crow, a skilled Shade Sentinel first introduced as an NPC in Cathedral. As the balance of the Shade Forest begins to unravel, Crow must venture through cursed woods and forgotten ancient ruins to uncover the roots of the Sentinel order and confront the dark forces at its core.
The demo drops players into the heart of action, designed to showcase the game’s core mechanics. Players will explore two distinct areas – The Deep Forest and Elarion’s Refuge – and gain access to multiple items and abilities that highlight combat depth, traversal, and progression.
The demo for Cathedral: Crow’s Curse is available now in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain and Latin America), and Swedish.
