LandShark Games has released a new demo and announced the Steam Early Access release date for Grifford Academy. The new demo is available now on Steam and lets players try out the opening hours of the game, introducing them to its realm of Caldria. It comes ahead of the Steam Early Access launch on July 8, 2025. The game is expected to spend three to six months in Early Access and will include its full story content at launch.

Grifford Academy sees friends Erika, Viva, and Cap fall into the world of Caldria through a mystical book. As they progress, they will be able to rescue fellow students and unearth memories of the eponymous academy. Players will be able to determine how they defeat particular enemies as well as the characters’ personality growth through their choices.
