Early last month I announced the horrifying teaser trailer for Daemonical, a “multiplayer horror experience where the battle is to stay alive on a remote island where every move could well be your last.”

Today, developer Fearem have announced that a Private Alpha will go underway as of Wednesday, May 9th.

About the Private Alpha

The Private Alpha will start in waves, eventually adding people after every crucial fix. The first wave will be 2,000 people and this will move up to 9,000 out of those that have applied. Having listened to early feedback, Fearem has redesigned character models, character shading and the character customization screen. Characters will now sweat, get dirty and hurt themselves as they roam the forest, and will visually clean up when it rains, or when they get into the water.

Daemonical is set to release in May on Steam.
