The demo lasts about 30 minutes, and the full game is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026.","whyItMatters":"The demo offers an early look at a narrative-driven horror game that focuses on psychological unease rather than monsters or jump scares, with a story about memory and dependence turning into control.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe demo for My Dismantling History is now available on Steam, giving players roughly 30 minutes of playtime. The game follows Hector, a prince of a fallen kingdom, who lives in exile in a rented room with his uncle and retainer, Matvey. Players examine everyday household items in a point-and-click format to uncover Hector's fragmented memories. The order of investigation changes which memories surface first, altering the story's rhythm. As Hector lets go of his past, objects he touched become blurred, representing the dismantling of his memory and ego. The game has no monsters or combat; instead, the horror comes from Hector's growing dependence on Matvey and their relationship becoming distorted. The full release is planned for the third quarter of 2026 with Japanese display support.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"My Dismantling History frames its horror through the slow erasure of a prince's memory and self, not through jump scares. The demo's 30-minute length suggests the full game will rely on sustained psychological tension.","twitterPost":"My Dismantling History's horror comes from dismantling the protagonist's identity, not from monsters. The demo runs 30 minutes; the full release is Q3 2026.","threadsPost":"My Dismantling History's demo is out on Steam, and its horror approach is unusual: it targets the prince's memory and sense of self, not external threats. The 30-minute demo gives a taste of how the full game, due Q3 2026, will explore a co-dependent relationship between the exiled prince and his uncle.","newsletterBlurb":"Pop Elephant Studio has released a demo for My Dismantling History on Steam, a psychological horror adventure game.
