Self Simulated Demo

DEMO: 

This demo of Self Simulated features the core elements of the game, as well as some of the first levels. On top, once you finished the demo, you unlock "Hardcore mode", one of the modes available in the full game.
In Hardcore mode ramps up the challenge, as you get put back to the title screen on your first reboot! 

The game is expected to be fully released digitally in July 2027.

ABOUT THE GAME:

Self Simulated is a fast-paced precision platformer. Waking up in a humanoid robotic body with no memory of what happened, you're guided only by M.A.C.R.I.S., the facility AI in your head - and it can't unlock your past either. To force those memories loose, you'll have to fully synchronize with your new body, one level at a time.

• Precision platforming, built to be replayed
  Double jumps, wall jumps, dodge rolls, dash attacks - momentum-driven controls tuned for tight, responsive movement.
• 100+ handcrafted levels, each a short, sharp test
  Touch a hostile robot or a glitch, and you're instantly rebooted - no loading screens, no punishment, just try again.
• Speedrun Mode
  No story dialogues, no cutscene interruptions, just the clock.
• Hardcore & Insane Modes
  One hit throws you back to the menu. Hardcore lets you save between attempts. Insane does not.
• Assist settings for every skill level
  Triple jumps, glitch immunity, auto-stomp - tailor the difficulty to what feels right for you.
• Hidden rooms & shortcuts
  For players who look past the obvious path and want to shave a few seconds off their run.

ASSIST SETTINGS:

Platformers can be hard! Since this game can be pretty challenging, I've put in some assistant settings in the menu, where you can activate some things to help ease the difficulty of the game to play at your own pace.

WIRELESS KEYBOARD & GAMEPADS:

If you're playing with a wireless keyboard or controller, please make sure it doesn't introduce too much latency, as some keyboards that aren't usually built for gaming can introduce a massive amount of latency which makes playing Self Simulated very hard.

Usually controls in Self Simulated should feel instant, very snappy and precise. So if you're not playing on original hardware or similar devices, and you don't have the feeling of "full control" over the player, then try playing the game with different hardware (and please let me know in the comments, if you have trouble. Please provide which hardware you were playing on)
