Unreal PlayStation Demo
A downloadable demo disc for Windows and Linux
A collection of demos in the style of the classic Unofficial PlayStation demo discs a lot of us used to play when we were younger.
Currently, only Heir's Sword, Nowhere and Mum's Gone Out are available to play, however, more will be coming when they're ready. This is a solo project, so things are super slow.
Game Descriptions
Heir's Sword
Rise up against your own bloodline. Navigate the cruel treacherous labyrinth populated by all manner of creatures, take down your foes with the weapon bestowed upon you by the very father you are destined to destroy and claim your right as king of the land.
Nowhere
Curiosity killed the cat. Anna thought she was robbing something worth a lot of money, but she didn't realise what that something was. Now she has to fight her way out, facing horrible monsters along the way with whatever she can find.
Mum's Gone Out
Ready for some reckless fun? Steal your mum's car and hit the streets with a gang of 16-year-olds racing across southern England. These amateur drivers are a menace, and with the police constantly switching up the tracks and chasing the front-runners, it's a total free-for-all. Speed through charming villages, bustling towns, and winding country roads, dodging crashes and police sirens in a desperate bid to outpace everyone else.

Recommendations
Input Support
If possible, play this with a controller. KM B will work just fine, but where's the fun in that. :(
CRT Screens
If you plan to play this on a CRT monitor, there is an extra ini setting you will likely require. If you go to <Game Folder>\UPSXD\Config\DefaultGame.ini and scroll to the bottom, you will find a setting called CRTMode. If you set this to true, the pixelation post process will be disabled.
You can also enable this with the command line argument -CRT.
Redistributables
If this is your first time running a game made in Unreal Engine, please go to <Game Folder>\Engine\Extras\Redist\en-us for an exe that will install anything required by the engine to run.

Works great on Steam Deck, Make sure you set Proton to "Experimental" in the properties if it doesn't boot on yours
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing
I can’t see anything (sorry I can screenshot it)
Sorry you're having trouble! Honestly, it looks like your hardware isn't powerful enough to display the game correctly :(
This is good so far! Can't wait for the others. Great job!
