Irish indie studio Zenland Games is excited to extend an invitation for players to experience a slice of its cosy sci-fi life sim Ekoh Beach today, ahead of Steam Next Fest this February. The Ekoh Beach demo, which will run through the festival, introduces the planet of Ekoh 99 ahead of the full launch on April 4th, 2025. It offers up to 3 hours of gameplay that showcases the game’s strong sense of humour and futuristic tropical theme.
Take your first steps into the role of town planner on a planet in disarray on your quest to turn it into a bustling community hub. This once technologically advanced planet has been left in disrepair following a robot rebellion. Now, it’s your responsibility to set things right. Wield a selection of weird and wonderful tools, including the high-tech ZCleaner and ProtoScanner. Gather resources to restore the town to its former glory.
In the Steam Next Fest demo, you can restore your home and the town’s interdimensional bakery. Befriend 11 residents and explore the resource-abundant mines. Relax on the beaches to your heart’s content, as you never know what secrets you might stumble across along the way.
