After being recognized among the Top 50 most played Steam Next Fest demos, Handmancers returns with a bigger, better, and fully reworked demo, inviting players once again to master its first person deckbuilder where Rock, Paper, Scissors becomes a battleground of wits, tactics, and risk management.
Beneath its simple Rock, Paper, Scissors foundation lies a world of depth. Each Sign can be reshaped with Gems that change the look of the card and add powerful effects, while artifacts create synergies that redefine how battles unfold. It’s not just about choosing the right Sign, it’s about building the perfect hand to outsmart and overpower your opponents.
As corruption spreads across the world, it tempts you with power and artifacts that twist the rules both in your favor and against you. The deeper you go, the tougher your decisions become.
About the Demo
The demo offers a complete experience with Handmancers‘ signature mix of tactical depth and calculated risk. Players can explore early zones of the map, experiment with different factions, gems and artifacts, and test the combat loop where precision and restraint matter as much as aggression.
Key Features
- Rock, Paper, Scissor Combat. Simple rules, where each Sign counters another, forming the core of every encounter and shaping all deck and strategy decisions
- First Person Deckbuilder Roguelite. Experience the tactical depth of a deckbuilder as a duelist, not a person slamming cards on the table
- Customize Your Hand. Each card can have up to three modifiers. Combine it right and turn your gestures into nukes
- Play in Style. Pick your faction and solidify your play style: deliver heavy damage with Scissors, play defensively with Rock or stuck buffs with Paper
The new Handmancers demo is available now on Steam, ahead of the full release in Q1 2026.
