Oberhaching, Germany – Developers SpaceRocket Games, Don Vs Dodo and publisher Toplitz Productions are pleased to announce that the PC demos for Permafrost e Industry Giant 4.0 are now available to play for early bird access. 

From Monday through October 21st both games will be taking part in Steam Next Fest.

Alternatively, they can set about building a business empire and test their business acumen with the management/building sim Industry Giant 4.0.

In Permafrost, exploration, resourcefulness and crafting are the order of the day as players construct intricate shelters from scrap, cultivate crops to stave off hunger, and harness the power of technology to fend off threats both human and environmental. The sub-zero temperatures will have an effect on character capabilities as they fend for themselves in challenging and life affecting conditions. The Permafrost demo encourages players to craft, explore and survive either alone or with up to three other players. 

For business sim fans and keen strategists publisher Toplitz Productions is giving PC gamers the ultimate appetizer of industrial strategy with the new playable demo for Industry Giant 4.0, managing different aspects of big business, manufacture and trade.
