Key takeaways

  • Demo 2.0 published on Steam and Epic Games Store on October 23
  • CODE EXIT will appear at Steam Scream Fest V from Oct 27 to Nov 3 (global)

LINE Games announced that CODE EXIT, a PC co-op sci-fi horror developed by Phase 8 Studio, published a new demo 2.0 build on Steam and the Epic Games Store on October 23. AppMedia reported the publisher’s press release and linked to the store pages for both platforms. The demo aims to let players test recent additions to the game ahead of the team’s appearance at Steam Scream Fest V the following week.

The demo 2.0 build adds several playable systems and quality-of-life changes. New content includes the MiRO support robot, which can respawn to assist teammates after a player dies, and an enemy type called “Offline S.O.M.A” that detects sound and movement. Phase 8 also added an in-game tutorial stage to lower the early learning curve: players can practice basic controls and survival mechanics through guided play instead of learning only on the fly. The team said the update also contains polish work intended for the finished release, such as general convenience improvements.

User feedback from earlier Steam playtests shaped concrete changes in demo 2.0. The developer implemented UI improvements based on player comments, introduced customizable keybindings for keyboard control, and optimized multiplayer systems to smooth cooperative play. Those are specific, player-facing touches: adjustable controls, clearer UI, and matchmaking/connection work aimed at making cooperative sessions less fiddly. LINE Games and Phase 8 framed these updates as ongoing development steps and pointed readers to the Steam and Epic store pages for full demo details.

Why it matters

CODE EXIT will participate in the global online event Steam Scream Fest V from October 27 to November 3, where the demo will be available to a worldwide audience. AppMedia’s article also included a broader news list on the same page that contains other items marked as “pre-registration started,” for readers who follow multiple launch schedules. If you want to test the new respawn, enemy behavior, tutorial, or keybinding options before launch, the demo 2.0 on Steam and Epic is now the place to do it — and you’ll be able to try the same build during Scream Fest V for players around the world.
