Alibi Games and Feldspar Games announced that Become the Moon will be featured in the June edition of Steam Next Fest with the release of a brand-new, expanded demo. The full game will officially launch on Steam on Thursday, June 19th, 2025, marking the beginning of a magical and chaotic journey in a world undone by lunar exploitation.

In the game's universe, society has collapsed following the emergence of the Moonlight Reactor, a structure capable of siphoning energy directly from the moon. In this distorted world, players take on the role of a mage who must summon minions, misfits, and unleash powerful spells to fight through a gauntlet of challenges on the way to the reactor. The updated demo will be available today at 4:00 PM (BST), offering players an early taste of what’s to come.

To celebrate the event, the developers have announced an exclusive competition within the Steam demo. Between June 4th and June 16th, the community is invited to take on three unique challenges: complete a run with the strongest minion (measured by combined damage and health), win a run without taking any damage, and win without collecting a single relic. Each challenge will reward one winner with a $100 Steam gift card and community recognition.

The title combines deckbuilding mechanics with autobattler elements, encouraging players to create strategic combos using cards, relics, and spells that can result in wild, game-breaking outcomes. Progression is dynamic and tactical, demanding thoughtful decisions to overcome bizarre and dangerous rivals.

Players can choose from ten unique arcane magistars, each with their own playstyle, and build a team of underdogs and misfits that synergize with their abilities. The campaign culminates in a final showdown at the observatory, beneath the powerful glow of the moon, where the world’s fate hangs in the balance.

Content variety is another standout feature: the game includes over 140 cards—minions and spells—more than 50 relics with direct strategic influence, over 40 enemy encounter types, and six difficulty modifiers that conceal the game’s true ending. For fans of daily challenges, the game will also include a seeded daily run mode with an online leaderboard, encouraging global competition and replayability.
