HYPER DEMON is a 2022 first-person arena shooter from Sorath that tasks players with killing demons to maintain and build their score. The brutal difficulty game features mechanics including auto-seeking projectiles, crystal ricochets, and boss-trigger encounters that demand split-second enemy prioritization. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, hypnotic, and intense, noting that visual chaos gradually fades into clarity with practice as spherical vision becomes intuitive. The scoring system rewards constant risk-taking, while quick-reset runs allow for rapid replays in short sessions. Priced at $14.99, it holds a 95% positive rating from 2623 Steam reviews and a Metacritic score of 88, running as playable on Steam Deck.

About HYPER DEMON: HYPER DEMON is an FPS like no other. a pearl of lightning. a dream from the future. a drop of poison. a swan song. The faster you slay demons, the harder the game and the higher your score. There is an end. Will it see you?
