TOTAL RELOAD demo for the first person puzzle adventure game is coming to Linux with Windows PC. Thanks to the creative talents of developer TORSHOCK. Due to make its way onto Steam this month.
Exciting news — there’s a brand-new first person puzzle adventure called TOTAL RELOAD, and the demo is now live on Steam. If you’re into games like Portal, this one is going to be right for you. Since it draws a lot of inspiration from that series. But here’s the twist: instead of “thinking with portals,” you’ll be “thinking with wires.” And its all due to arrive in a native port soon.
We plan to add a Linux version of the demo to Steam during October. We are developing Total Reload in Unity.
Here’s the latest from TORSHOCK, and it’s pretty straightforward: a native Linux build for the TOTAL RELOAD demo is on the way. No exact date yet, but it’s coming soon. The good news is that support will likely carry over to the full release too. As for Steam Deck support, they haven’t shared any updates on that just yet.
TOTAL RELOAD Cinematic Trailer for the Demo
In TOTAL RELOAD, you’ll be working alongside an Artificial Intelligence named HAWKING, helping it activate a massive, universe-resetting mechanism. The puzzles are all about connecting different energy sources using Quantum Transporters, and it gets pretty tricky. You’ll have to power up things like moving platforms, sensor grids, and doors to solve each challenge. The mechanics are designed to be a fresh take on the classic puzzle formula, and the whole “wires” concept really sets it apart.
The TOTAL RELOAD demo gives you access to 20% of the full title’s locations. It’s a great way to dive in and wrap your head around the core mechanics before the full release. The best part? You can carry over your progress to the full game, so no need to start from scratch when it launches.
And speaking of launching, the full release will hit Steam on January 15, 2025, priced at $19.99 USD / £16.95 / 19,95€. In the demo, there’s even a DevConsole where you can activate special commands to mess around and have some extra fun.
Oh, and one more thing! TOTAL RELOAD demo will be featured at Steam Next Fest in from October 14th – 21st. But you don’t have to wait until then to try it out. The Windows PC build is available right now, playable on Linux via Proton. Perfect for those of us who like solving spatial puzzles and messing with the laws of physics. With a native build on the way. Along with a day-one release for the full release.
So if you’re up for a challenge and ready to “think with wires,” give the first person puzzle adventure a shot. Also, keep an eye out for the full release next year!
