Simulated Multiplayer Clown vs. Demon FPS

An old-school first-person shooter where clowns and demons fight it out, playable solo or with invited friends in co-op. The multiplayer feel is simulated with virtual players so the server is always full, including simulated clans, chat, and trash talking. Planned to launch on Steam, hopefully early 2027.

Last shared For Aimed at the author and players like them who loved classic multiplayer shooters (Team Fortress Classic, Counter Strike, Call of Duty) but stopped playing due to age and worse reflexes.
01 / The problem

What it addresses

Older players with worse reflexes no longer enjoy real multiplayer FPS games against always-on 24/7 players who continually one-shot them, so this game simulates a lively multiplayer environment instead.

    “I'm working on an old-school "multiplayer" FPS with clowns and demons fighting it out. It's single player or invite co-op for friends. Multiplayer is simulated with virtual players so the server is always full. There are clans, chat, trash talking, all that, but all simulated (aside from co-op friends of course).”
