- Demo relese - 14 March 2025
Hey, Here’s the first playable demo we’ve been working on for almost half a year! We’re a two-person indie micro-studio from Western Pomerania in Poland. Games are our passion and a way to relax. Both of us (my wife and I) work in game dev, but for a long time, we’ve wanted to create something of our own—something we’d love to play ourselves. We invite you to test our demo! SU42: Hired Gun offers single-player gameplay, two-player co-op, and Steam Remote Play, allowing you to play together on one screen over the internet. Let us know how much you enjoy the gameplay—we’re looking forward to all your feedback! Ania & Marcin
