We are developers from Ukraine, VIWESA GAMES, and today we are proud to present the demo of our project, Pilgrim of Darkness, as part of Steam Next Fest!
For us, this is more than just a game — it’s a world where we’ve poured our entire vision of true medieval horror. We wanted to create an experience where your main enemy isn’t just the monster behind the wall, but your own fear and focus.
This is your first chance to plunge into a world of shadows, where magic is your only weapon and your own terror is your worst enemy.
🎮 Try the DEMO now on our Steam page!

-
The First Boss: Collect the necessary ritual items, perform the ceremony, and try to survive the battle against a powerful demon.

About the Game:
Co-op PVE Survival Horror
You are part of the Cult of Light. When the world shattered under the weight of ancient rituals, you became the last ray of hope. Where others saw only inevitable doom, your order found a path: a path through the very heart of darkness.
Your mission is to banish the demons seeping through the rifts and bring light back to this broken world.
-
Monks of Light: You play as a Pilgrim Monk whose only weapons are faith, magic, and ancient artifacts. You have no steel or gunpowder — only your resilience.
-
Grim Fantasy World: Visit desolate medieval villages and desecrated altars where fire seeps through cracks in the earth.
-
The Glow of Fear: Your inner darkness becomes your enemy. The more afraid you are, the brighter you "glow" for the demons. They don't just see you — they smell your fear and hunt it.
-
Path of Progression: Manage your fear and develop rare skills. Each surviving Pilgrim Monk grows stronger, adapting to the horrors of the abyss.
-
Ritual Warfare: You don't just kill enemies. You perform complex rituals at altars to summon and destroy Great Demons.
-
Trophies of Victory: Each defeated boss leaves behind a crystal. Bring it back to your lobby as a symbol that the Light can still prevail.
We truly value your support! If you enjoy the experience, please add the game to your Wishlist.
