Permafrost & Industry Giant 4.0 Demos Shine at Steam Next Fest

Posted on October 11, 2024September 26, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl

Two Very Different Demos Show Off Toplitz’s Survival and Simulation Lineup

OBERHACHING, GERMANY – October 10, 2024 – Developers SpaceRocket Games and Don VS Dodo, together with publisher Toplitz Productions, are bringing two PC demos to Steam Next Fest: Permafrost and Industry Giant 4.0.

From October 10–21, 2024, players can step into two very different worlds—one frozen and hostile, the other buzzing with industrial ambition.

Survive the Frozen Wasteland in Permafrost

Permafrost drops players into a frozen post-apocalyptic urban setting where the climate is not just cold—it’s deadly. This open-world survival game features both single-player and online co-op for up to 4 players, and tasks survivors with scavenging, building, and innovating just to stay alive.
