Brass Workshop — First Shift Demo

Try your first shift in the Brass Workshop.

Survive a two-minute clockwork arena as the Inventor on Standard. Weapons fire automatically; move with WASD/arrows, collect teal experience, choose upgrades and use charged Overdrive with Space. Bank brass scrap for permanent Workshop equipment.

FREE DEMO

Inventor, Standard, four automatic weapon families, level-up choices, Overdrive and the illustrated Workshop. Each shift ends after 120 seconds without a boss. Replay as often as you like. Demo saves are separate from the full game and do not transfer automatically.

FULL GAME + EDITABLE KIT · $15

The paid bundle adds both heroes, Standard and Overclock, the full six-minute wave phase plus Scrap Golem, ready-to-play Mac/Windows games, a Web download and the editable Godot 4.6.1 project with source, artwork, audio, guides and commercial finished-game rights. Both stores deliver the same bundle.
