GOCKHAUS Demo 2 (Update 1/31/2026) (Patreon)

That's right, 2nd demo jumpscare! This is kind of spur-of-the-moment, enjoy:

PC version only I'm afraid, though fear not, the full game will come out for both Mac and PC.To be clear, this demo is most of the game. At the point where this demo leaves off, there's only one more chapter. Download at your own peril, if you're hoping to go in blind then I wouldn't recommend playing this whole thing! But if that doesn't bother you, then grab some popcorn and enter the current build of the haus 😈

Still no voice acting, and in fact it's looking less likely that voice acting will be implemented in a substantive way until after the base game is almost fully done (this is part of why I decided to release a second demo instead of just updating the first one). I have been in touch with VAs however, and things are promising! Can't say too much else on that front just yet, though I am pleased to be able to announce that Misuzugon will be voicing Brandi! Joy! I'll announce the other VAs later as plans are solidified.

Some of you may be wondering why I'm doing a second demo after I said that I wouldn't, and there's a few different reasons:1. I simply happened to put this demo together for sharing with the VAs as I've been in touch with them. So it was pretty easy to say to myself "Well, while I'm at it, why not share it with my supporters?"2. As mentioned, originally I was planning on updating the first demo with voices, but since that seems less likely now with the way development is going, this is my alternative haha3. The final stretch of the game that I'm currently working on IS coming along very nicely, but I don't really wanna show anything from it just now!!! So instead you can have what I've already done.4. The last reason is... kind of difficult to talk about, but I feel like I need to comment on it even though it's gonna get a little political.Basically, as some of you some of you may already know, I live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, and we're currently being occupied by Trump's Gestapo (ICE). They're going around harassing, kidnapping, and executing the people of my community in and off the street. Both Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered within a few miles of my house, and to be completely transparent, I've been profoundly upset and disturbed by these recent events. There's word that ICE might be withdrawing, or at least decreasing their presence here (fortunately) but this is still the most dangerous Minneapolis has ever been in my whole life, and I'm not exactly sure what is going to happen around here in the near future.

I've been meaning to mention this before but never really was sure when exactly, and now seems good: I strongly believe in closure for my fans, so if the day ever comes that I decide I don't wanna be thatcombatwombat anymore and I wanna retire, then I will make an official announcement about it. I will not ever of my own volition just disappear off the internet without any warning whatsoever. So, if there's ever a time where I've gone months or even years without any kind of communication or activity online, then I haven't ghosted you all: that probably means something bad has happened to me, unfortunately! Sorry in advance if that occurs, was hoping to do all this for longer and end on a good note!

But, fortunately for us, I'm pretty good at keeping safe, and I'm not planning on any such unfortunate events happening to me. I wanna be thatcombatwombat for a long time still! So don't worry (too much).

Anyways, with all that out of the way, have frights and have delights with the 2nd GOCKHAUS demo if you choose to play it! Be sure to lemme know your thoughts or any bug encounters below, and as always, thanks for your support :D
