About Demeo
Demeo is a cross‑platform cooperative dungeon‑crawling adventure for up to four players that mimics a tabletop experience. Players choose from hunter, sorcerer, assassin, guardian, bard, warlock or barbarian and must work together to defeat the dark forces threatening the realm.
The game offers multiple adventures such as The Black Sarcophagus, Realm of the Rat King, Roots of Evil and Reign of Madness, and includes a VR‑only social hub called Heroes’ Hangout where players can meet, play mini‑games and customize avatars. It runs on PC, PlayStation 5, Quest, Pico and supports full controller and tracked controller input.

Playable Characters
Demeo provides seven distinct hero types: hunter, sorcerer, assassin, guardian, bard, warlock and barbarian. Each character brings a unique approach to magic and combat, encouraging varied party compositions.
The newest addition, Uhrak the Barbarian, appears in the Reign of Madness adventure and is described as never more than a grappling hook’s throw away from the action.
- Experiment with different hero combos to see which teamwork dynamics feel best for your group.
