The Steam demo for Moss: The Forgotten Relic , launching June 8 prior to its participation in Steam Next Fest, offers players their first opportunity to experience how Moss ' unique player-and-hero relationship has been thoughtfully reimagined for PC and consoles.

The unique dual perspective of Moss: The Forgotten Relic defies genre conventions to forge a deeper emotional connection between the player and the game’s hero, turning them into a guardian with Quill as their companion and charge.
