'Humanity' Also Comes To PS5 And PC, Playable Demo Available Across All Platforms - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 23, 2023 @ 5:15 p.m. PST

Humanity is an action-puzzle hybrid where you become a Shiba Inu (dog) tasked with leading a massive, marching crowd to goals in each stage.

A unique blend of puzzle-solving and action-platforming, Humanity puts the fate of all mankind in your hands. Er, paws. Did we mention you’re a dog? 

You play a Shiba Inu charged with commanding massive, marching crowds to jump, turn, push, float, shoot, and climb their way to salvation.

Guide the masses through levels (10 in the demo, 90-plus stages in the full game Story Mode) filled with obstacles, enemies, puzzles, and unlockable skills, or browse a wide array of user-made challenges (or build your own!) crafted via the super-easy-to-use in-game Stage Creator. 

Whether on your standard display or in the optional VR Mode, watch as breathtaking swarms of people follow your commands to the exit, all in Humanity’s stark iconic style, courtesy of director and celebrated visual designer Yugo Nakamura and famed game creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi (Rez, Tetris Effect: Connected).


Humanity is coming to PS4, PS5 and PC in May 2023, but you don't have to wait to play; Enhance and Tokyo-based design studio tha ltd. have just released a limited-time demo across all platforms that is playable between now and March 6, 2023.

This demo features 10 stages, giving you a sample of what to expect from the full version. In addition, you can check out the User Stages area, an ever-growing library of new content created by the community. Whether you're looking for artful stages that take the building blocks of Humanity and do something amazing with it or you're looking for tough-as-nails challenges, you're likely to find it here. Playing and finishing stages will raise your player level.

Speaking of community content, the demo also features a beta of our Stage Creator. Hop in and try your hand at creating all kinds of stages in Humanity, using the same tools that we used to create the full version's campaign! Anyone can make a stage, and the demo is also available on PlayStation and created levels can be played cross-platform.

(Note: Created stages and all accompanying data from the demo – favorites, ratings, level progress, etc. – will not carry over to the full version.)
