What is Demeo

## The Game

The core game play is co-operative turn based strategy where utilizing character abilities and found resources wisely to defeat creatures to reach the sinister boss monster is the sole objective. Released as an exclusively virtual reality (VR) game in May 2021 by Resolution Games it has grown into a multi-platform and device independent title that can be played both in VR and on a standard PC. Because of this the game features cross play compatibility with all versions regardless of device or platform.

The game's is chiefly fantasy inspired but still unique in both it's design and mechanics. The game is played by selecting an Adventure module then choosing a Hero class, although while you are the player this character represents you in the world of Demeo. An Adventure module is a total of three maps with a specific tile set and boss monster that you will work with your fellow adventurers to defeat.

## Modes

There are a few game modes offered by Demeo each offering a different way to play depending on the player's intent or time frame,

### Skirmish

This is consider Single player mode and allows a single player to control up to four champions at once. This still requires you to be online for gameplay as the creature AI, turns, and experience is tracked by the game server.

### Multiplayer

This the core mode for the game allowing up to 4 players to control a single Hero each -OR- 2 players controlling up to 2 Heroes each. The 2 player mode is commonly referred to as 'Duos'. A game can be left Public or made Private, if public anyone will be able to join via Quickplay or using the Room Code. A Private game can only be joined by providing a player the Room Code.

### Quickplay

This places you in any open 4 player Public game that has an open seat. You will join as a new Hero with the default starting load out and no resources regardless of how far the current game has progressed.

### Heroes Hangout (VR Only)

A VR play space designed a for VR players to gather and join games from. This feature is called a Tinyverse that is common to most other Resolution Games VR enabled titles. Learn more about Heroes Hangout. Currently this feature is not available on the PlayStation VR2 device.

## Playing the game

While the mechanics of actual play are simple the under lying strategy and resource management are what add complexity as well as the need for communication between the players in order to achieve victory. We have summarized the in-game tutorial steps from the PC Edition as well created an in depth and playful run through of the game for players to review.

* PC Edition Tutorial
* In-depth Playthrough

As Demeo is a party focused co-operative game it is recommended for new players to complete the tutorial and play the adventure The Black Sarcophagus via the Skirmish mode until about Rank 5 or 6. This will give you a better idea of the game mechanics to join Multiplayer with others.

## The Player's Handbook

The game is themed as if it were an actual pen and paper RPG even using a game master to control the monsters. Due to this meta the wiki has been called the Player's Handbook in keeping with the theme however it is a collection of data mining, Resolution provided details, both in-game and user created images, and data confirmation by players.

While the content headers help there are times information or interesting tidbits don't fit but should still be pointed out. To that end we created some information boxes that appear throughout the handbook which we have listed below.

### Flavor Info

The text found within the Deb info boxes is intended to be from the game master herself so may be from a perspective of someone describing something in the game. It typically contains information either pulled from data mining flavor text yet to appear in the game or from Resolution Games itself.

Deb says, *"You may not always like what I do, but I'm always fair... well mostly."*

### Lore Info

The text found within the Gwynn info boxes are from a historian's point of view that actually lives within the world of Demeo. The information contained within is typically unpublished lore, history, or links to details associated with the the topic you are viewing.

Gwynn says, *"I try to be as accurate as possible, but not every text is always complete."*

### Help Info

Sometimes there may be information that applies to a topic but doesn't fit under a heading or section properly so the Help Info box is used to hold that suggestion or detail on a page.
