- DEMO deactivation 😔 - 13 January 2026
After a lot of thought and discussion with the community, we’ve decided to take down the Demo. Below is the verdict from the community as we came together to make this tough call. As ODDCORE has evolved, the Demo no longer reflects the current Early Access build. The game has grown a lot, and we don’t want new players getting the wrong first impression.We know many of you have time, achievements, and memories in the Demo. Instead of removing it entirely, we plan to preserve it as a legacy branch within the main game, with updates to optimization and leaderboards down the line.Early Access is where ODDCORE truly lives now, and we want all feedback and impressions to reflect that experience. If you want to help shape what’s next, hop into the Discord and join us.Amongst the newsDiscord is booming Thank you to all the fresh meats joining ODDCORE.
