Independent games publisher Retroware is excited to announce that the free Steam demo for The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is available to download now. The demo offers players their first public hands-on look at the completely rebuilt version of the game — a pixel-perfect homage to Simon’s Quest and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse — that blends parody, platforming, and an ominous 8-bit world packed with secrets to explore.

To celebrate today’s launch, Retroware has released a new demo launch trailer. Watch as the fame-hungry hero Simon whips his way across the Transylvanian countryside, shatters skeletons, and makes the undead legions wish they were never reborn in the trailer below.

The TASQ demo puts the entire Bram region at players’ fingertips, complete with the full intro cutscene that brings newcomers up to speed on the events unfolding in the distant land of 15xx Transylvania. Players can choose between two play modes:

  • Adventure Mode — Explore the Bram region at your own pace, speak to villagers, and work your way toward the cursed Bram Mansion.

  • Action Mode — Skip the small talk and go straight to Bram Mansion.

Both modes offer plenty to discover, including:

  • 8 subweapons and utility items to collect

  • An alternate route through the region

  • A hidden minigame

  • And more secrets waiting to be found!

The first region of the game, Bram, is playable in its entirety! Those who have been following The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest since the beginning are aware that there was a demo from 2021 of this region; however, this demo is from the completely rebuilt game, featuring smoother visuals, controls, and an overall more polished experience,” said the game’s developer, Programancer.

The Transylvania Adventure of Simon Quest is coming soon to Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
