If you’re a bargain hunter or just looking to save some cash before the holiday season, listen up: Steam is offering another exciting free download right now, and it’s especially appealing for horror game fans.
And what could be better than spending a few creepy, fun hours gaming just in time for Halloween? Not much comes to mind, so this free demo is definitely worth checking out. If you’re searching for your next spooky fix, the demo of Reanimal might be exactly what you’re looking for.
Reanimal: Free Demo on Steam Lets You Get Scared Before Release
Reanimal is already being hailed as one of the most exciting games of 2026—assuming you enjoy the horror genre. The game follows in the footsteps of Little Nightmares and its sequel, Little Nightmares 2. That’s probably because Tarsier Studios, the minds behind those previous titles, are also responsible for Reanimal. Thanks to the free demo, you can now check out Reanimal on Steam at no cost.
With a new publisher on board, THQ Nordic, Tarsier has been working on a completely fresh IP. It has a similar stylistic vibe to Little Nightmares, but is heading in a totally different direction. On Steam, the developers describe Reanimal as an even darker, more disturbing journey than ever before, where you accompany a pair of siblings searching for their missing friends on a hellish adventure.

The setting is an island the siblings once called home, but now must escape. It’s overrun by mutilated and mutated animals that are terrifyingly hungry. If you found the chase sequences in Little Nightmares thrilling, Reanimal will really get your heart racing. What’s cool is that Tarsier is introducing a co-op mode right from the start, so you don’t have to brave the scares alone. You can also team up to tackle the game’s tricky horror puzzles.
If you’re intrigued, you should definitely give the free demo of Reanimal a shot. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a while afterward, as the full game won’t be released until next year. In the meantime, you might want to check out the newly released third installment of Little Nightmares, which we thoroughly reviewed in our test. That game comes from a different developer—which brings both positives and negatives, as our review points out.
