Demonophobia Remake
A downloadable remake for Windows
WARNING
The game showcased here is part of the guro genre, which in essence means it can contain a lot of violent gorish scenarios that include but aren't limited to: blood, dismemberment, impalement, decapitation, crushing injuries, among other shocking imagery which may not be suitable for all audiences.
Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
About
Around the end of the 2000's, a user by the name of 237 developed and released a guro game to the internet titled Demonophobia which follows Sakuri, a high school girl who attempts to seek a way out of a hellish labyrinth she became trapped in.
The game was notorious for the strongly violent and perverted situations the protagonist was thrusted into, though it's also remembered for its bad controls, crude graphics, and generally for being unfair at times.
15 years later to the current day, here I come to propose a remake of said game with quality of life changes which include: better controls, improved graphics, balanced enemies, expanded areas, a more fleshed out storyline, etcetera.
The current available demo contains a reworked version of the first area from the original, with two possible outcomes.
It is also only a concept of what the game could end up being; if this project can at least gain a small following then we will continue developing it, otherwise it'll get canceled so we can focus our efforts towards more important projects.
Please leave feedback on either a bug you found to fix it or any aspect of the demo that caught your eye so we can decide what changes to make for any possible future demo.

i cannot get past the worm part (right past the door in the room where you can get crushed) since i almost always get caught instantly and once i escape from the first one then the second one gets me and kills me.
is there something i might be doing wrong is it just shit luck i have?
Ya ayudaron? Bueno, lo que pasa esq corres no corras si no te atraparan
I gotta say, I have been waiting for this for a looong time
Is there a way to force the game to run in windowed mode so that I may play it under WINE?
BIEN esta muy bueno, es mucho mas fácil, mas jugable, pero colócale para que se puedan cambiar las teclas, me costo acostumbrarme
thank you, i`m happy cause i played your demoonphobia. i hope you complete it someday.
고마워요 재밌게 잘 만들어서 기쁩니다. 언젠가 완성되길 희망할게요
congrats, you managed to turn the worst game I've ever played, into a slightly less terrible game. As in it actually controls better than drake of the 99 dragons.
Interested might test it out
Damn, I wish there would be an android port when it's completely finished. Because I think the game will be more recognizable then.
By the way,you doin' great lad!
Never expected a remake of this game!
From the screens it looks super cool, you fixed up the graphics (very badly done in Ms Paint in the original Japanese version) of the rooms but you didn't change the graphic style, so that the feeling of unease and the charm that the original version conveyed remains.
I don't think that this project will get that much attention though, it's also worth mentioning that the original Demonophobia was a niche game with probably 100,000 downloads done in all of these 15 years since the first launch.
You never know, deep respect for you all 3 anons who dedicate time for a passion project haha :P
Btw if you lose the desire to continue this remake, will the demo still be available to download?
beary nice comment :D
:3
Thanks for the response! Indeed, we are looking forward to bring this game back to modern audiences while retaining the essence that made the original notorious for
We are also going to make sure this remake is polished well enough, even if only a niche audience is going to try it
I suppose it wouldnt hurt to allow people to download this and any other future demo builds in case the project gets cancelled, so dont worry about it
Idk man i bet my fellow bros from 4chan and other imageboards would like/love this remake in some way or another.
I suggest you make some threads on some AltChans maybe some anon will be interested in, who knows.
BTW the original Demonophobia was initially sponsored on 2chan and from there it circulated the internet
