CRITICAL REFLEX released the demo for TALLBOYS' stealth adventure game "Eyes Wide Shut" on Steam on October 9. The demo includes the complete first act and adds a new cable car escape route. Players must find a way out of a city under the watchful eyes of giant police officers and residents.
Giant police officers exhibit emotional reactions. Players can try to anger, please, or deceive them to create opportunities for action. Residents in the city also have their own schedules and emotions, reacting to the player's behavior.
During exploration, players can steal, buy, sell, or trade items, as well as infiltrate target locations. The city remembers the player's previous actions; even if a failed attempt leads to trying a different approach, earlier choices may still have consequences. Compared to the August 2025 demo, the development team has also adjusted the city layout, residents, giants, and exploration routes, and expanded the mind map feature in response to player feedback about losing track of objectives.
The newly added cable car departs for the mountain every hour, offering an alternative escape route in Act 1. The full release will be divided into three acts, each introducing new areas and different ways to escape.
