PlayStation®Store, Xbox, and the Nintendo eShop. Players eager to try the game can play the

Sunderfolk’s First Look Demo showcases the game’s early experience with all playable
characters unlocked. Players can replay the demo to experiment with different character
combinations and gameplay strategies. Be among the first to try it with NVIDIA GeForce NOW.
To access the demo, players can simply create a membership with NVIDIA GeForce NOW and
launch Sunderfolk, along with the Sunderfolk mobile app to use as the game’s controller.
Signing up for an NVIDIA GeForce NOW membership is free–no paid membership is required to
play Sunderfolk’s First Look Demo.
In Sunderfolk, players embark on an enthralling quest through the Sunderlands to save their
peaceful animal village, Arden, from a mysterious corruption. Using a phone or tablet as a
controller for the onscreen action, players explore vibrant locations, encounter colorful
characters, challenge fearsome monsters, and discover hidden secrets. With no elaborate
setup, rulebooks, or materials needed, Sunderfolk is a streamlined alternative to the traditional
tabletop gaming experience, bringing tabletop veterans and casual players together to enjoy a
charming fantasy adventure in an accessible format. Like its tabletop inspirations, only one copy
of Sunderfolk is needed to play the game with friends. The Sunderfolk controller app is free to
download on iOS and Android devices.
“As longstanding tabletop gaming fans, we at Secret Door know all too well how difficult it can
be to get new players together for a shared experience. Learning rules, perceived complexity,
and setup times can create challenges for playing with our loved ones,” said Chris Sigaty,
studio head of Secret Door. “Our goal with Sunderfolk is to leverage modern technology to
make game night something everyone can enjoy.”
“At its core, Sunderfolk is about the joy of playing together–laughter, strategy, and making
memories,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “Just like the tabletop
games that inspired it, Sunderfolk creates lasting bonds between friends and family with each
session. There is something for everyone to enjoy in the game, whether you consider yourself a
seasoned player or someone who’s along for the ride. We look forward to watching your journey
unfold in the Sunderlands when Sunderfolk launches on April 23.”
Key features include:
● Rediscover Game Night: Up to four players can play Sunderfolk, with each player’s
phone or tablet acting as a seamless interface for character management and controlling
the action on a television or local/streamed monitor screen for a fresh spin on the classic
game night experience.
● Answer the Call to Adventure: Choose to play as one of six distinctive heroes with
varying abilities and strategic roles–Arcanist, Bard, Berserker, Pyromancer, Ranger, or
Rogue. Heroes can be tailored and customized with weapons, armor, items, and skills as
they level up, enabling players to create a robust, well-rounded party equipped to
overcome the challenges ahead.
● Step Into a New World: Sunderfolk is a handcrafted fantasy setting full of imaginative
locations, exotic creatures, and eccentric characters. Dark forces emerge from the
Sunderlands and threaten Arden; it is up to the players to protect the peaceful village
and its inhabitants. Arden serves as a base of operations that expands with new shops
and services as players progress through the game. Return to Arden between missions
to upgrade vendors for more items and equipment and befriend the townsfolk to gain
rewards.
● Put Tactics to the Test: In combat, players must strategize positioning and turn order,
selecting from their deck of Skill Cards to execute movements, attacks, and use items.
Luck is also involved, with Fate Cards playing every turn that can impact their
effectiveness. Players gain experience and rewards as they complete missions,
gradually unlocking ways to customize decks. The key to victory is understanding the
heroes’ strengths and collaborating on a strategy based on the battle map and monsters
in play.
