Polyscape Launches Exciting Demo for 'NAMAKORIUM'

Polyscape, a Tokyo-based company, is set to engage gamers worldwide with their newly launched demo of the casual multiplayer RTS game titled 'NAMAKORIUM', which revolves around a sea creature on a mission to clean up the ocean. The demo was released in line with the Steam Next Fest October Edition, starting from October 14, 2025, at 2 AM JST. This festival is a great opportunity for players to experience the game while providing valuable feedback.

What to Expect from the Demo

The 'NAMAKORIUM' demo allows players to enjoy a maximum of four participants in multiplayer mode across two distinct stages. However, it's important to note that the game is not designed for solo play; players must gather in pairs or larger groups using a participation code to dive into the action.

Special Trailer for the Demo Release

To commemorate the demo's launch, Polyscape has released a trailer that highlights the objectives of the game, showcasing cleanup scenes and the transformation of the ocean's ecosystem as players progress. The visuals promise to excite the audience as they prepare to confront the challenges of restoring the sea's vibrancy.

The Game Concept

'NAMAKORIUM' presents a future marked by severe ocean pollution, where humanity's negligence has led to the extinction of numerous sea species, putting human survival at risk. In this backdrop, a sea cleaner known as the 'sea cucumber' awakens from a state of cold sleep, initiating a mission to cleanse the polluted oceans. The game encourages players to command these sea cucumbers to gather resources, construct buildings, and sanitize the dirty waters.

Engaging in Cooperative Play

As a cooperative RTS game, 'NAMAKORIUM' promotes teamwork as players strategize to utilize different types of sea cucumbers—each possessing unique skills for various tasks like resource collection or building construction. Players must coordinate effectively to cleanse all pollution clumps before their resources run out, adding a layer of strategic planning that enhances the cooperative experience.

Variety of Sea Cucumbers

The game features distinct sea cucumbers, including:

• - Shell Sea Cucumber, adept at gathering lime;
• - Iron Sea Cucumber, specialized in mining iron ore;
• - Fire Sea Cucumber and Ice Sea Cucumber, capable of enduring extreme temperatures.

Players can balance the variety of cucumber traits to overcome respective stage challenges.

Bringing Back the Ocean's Beauty

As players successfully purify the waters, vibrant corals will bloom, light will filter through the ocean, and over 40 types of aquatic life will start to thrive again, turning the cleaned sea into a tapestry of life. Gamers can strive to complete their collection of these species as they work towards restoring the ocean’s beauty.
