Shred Dead demo: play free in the browser
The itch.io page lists a free HTML5 demo and an 86 MB ZIP; the ZIP operating system is not identified there. The browser embed used on our homepage is the official itch upload at https://itch.io/embed-upload/19061906?color=333333. Its WebGL configuration contains the single-source string Demo 0.1.3. SteamDB still records demo app 4900640, but that app page now redirects to the Steam home page, so there is no working Steam demo entry.
The itch.io page exposed a Run game frame on 28 October 2026. SteamDB lists app 4900640 as a Windows demo, but the store URL redirects to Steam home and the app query returns no details on 3 November 2026. Treat the Steam demo as unavailable; the itch.io build is the working demo.

Demo versus the full game
| Demo | Full game | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | itch.io | Steam |
| Price | Free. Page status: In development. | $5.99, $4.79 at −20% on 3 November 2026 |
| Length | Developer said about 1 hour (July 2026). A player reported a 95-minute full clear. | Steam discussion posts contain individual full-game reports from about 3–4 hours to 11–12 hours. The developer’s 6–7 hour estimate on Reddit was a pre-release plan. These are not a verified completion-time range. |
| Saves | Do not carry over. Developer account weirdpenguingames said the full game resets progress. | Separate Steam save |
| Build | Demo 0.1.3 in the WebGL config. ZIP size 86 MB. OS of the ZIP is not labeled. | Windows and macOS. No public build number. |
| Score | 4.2 / 5 from 23 itch ratings (single-page snapshot). | Steam showed 438 reviews at 72% on 3 November 2026. |
Does demo progress carry over?
The developer account weirdpenguingames stated on Steam that progress would reset for the full release because of balance changes (thread 588440207635827758, 11 October 2026). A second thread quotes that earlier answer, so it is not independent confirmation. No later official reversal was found in the public material checked.
If the browser build misbehaves
- Itch comments mention the game sticking on load, and an item-duplication bug. Both are player reports.
- The ZIP’s operating system is not written on the page. I am not calling it a Windows build.
- Mac: the developer said the full game supports Mac. The demo itself is the browser build. A native Mac demo was not listed.
- On a phone, use the itch page rather than this site’s embedded frame. The frame is desktop-only here because a WebGL build this size is a poor fit for a small screen, and itch players have reported device warnings.
