Hermit and Pig Dropped a Limited Time Demo for Steam Next Fest

Uncover the conspiracy in “The Hermit and the Pig”

Heavy Lunch Studio presented an extended demo version The Hermit and the Pig for a limited time during the final weekend of Steam Next Fest. The updated demo goes beyond the prologue, offering players the first chance to explore the game's first world and gain a deeper understanding of its extraordinary adventures.

The Hermit and the Pig follows a reclusive hermit and his faithful truffle-hunting pig as they discover strange happenings in their quiet town. After a local factory replaces its workers with suspicious figures, the unlikely duo sets out to find a legendary mushroom that could be the key to saving their community. Their journey takes them through wild forests filled with eccentric characters, unpredictable dangers and many unpleasant encounters, while the hermit tries his best to avoid social contact.

The extended demo takes players further into the mysterious forest, where they begin to unravel the threads of a corporate conspiracy that drives the story forward. It features new areas, multiple enemies, and expanded combat mechanics that highlight the connection between the Hermit and the Pig. For the first time, players can use the Pig as an active companion in battle, digging up more than just truffles as the adventure gets stranger and more dangerous.

In addition to the expanded world and combat options, players will meet new NPCs and take part in the game's signature dialogue-based battles, where social interaction becomes both a challenge and a source of tension. With an unusual combination of humor, melancholy and mystery, this game offers an unforgettable look at a world where curiosity, angst and courage intersect.
