Commanders,

The cycle begins anew. The battlefield awakens once more.
The dark fantasy tactical game Annulus is launching a limited-time Demo test on Steam, available to all strategy players as part of Steam Next Fest.
This is a wipe test, and more importantly, an invitation—
An invitation to step into the lands of Novicesse ahead of time, and to test the weight of every decision through judgment, positioning, and battle.

📣 A Message from the Developers
Annulus does not pursue a “safe” or “fixed” strategic experience.
We want players to weigh the cost of every action, to feel pressure and uncertainty before victory is secured.
If you love tactical RPGs and thrive on high-risk, high-reward decision-making, we welcome you to join this Demo test.
The cycle has begun.
The battlefield awaits your choice.

— The Annulus Development Team
