Lady Death Demonicron Editions
Who gets the cheat sheet, the booklet, and the box.
Pre-order prices on the official site moved up from Kickstarter. Use this table as a shopping list, then confirm the checkout page you actually pay. Digital Standard was $34 on Kickstarter and is listed at $40 now. Physical tiers include SKUs that did not exist on Kickstarter at all.
Digital (Steam / PlayStation / Xbox, and Switch digital via Nintendo)
| SKU | Pre-order price | Cheat sheet | Strategy guide | Soundtrack | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Standard | $40 | No | 10-page combo move-book | Sampler | Game + playtest eligibility |
| Digital Deluxe | $50 | No | 8-page digital booklet | Full | Best middle |
| Digital Deluxe Hardcore | $55 | Digital sheet | 8-page digital booklet | Full | Wallpapers too |
If you only want cheat codes, Hardcore digital is the SKU that lists the sheet. Standard’s move-book teaches combat, not infinite health.
Physical (Switch or PS5, ships from November 2026)
| SKU | Pre-order price | Physical game | Digital copy | Cheat sheet | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical Standard | $60 | Yes | No | No | 8-page printed booklet |
| Physical Deluxe | $80 | Yes | Yes | Digital sheet | Booklet, soundtrack, wallpapers |
| Physical Deluxe Hardcore | $100 | Yes | Yes | Printed + digital | Collector card, 3 art prints, 32-page art book, both booklets |
Physical Standard is a new tier that was not on Kickstarter. Hardcore physical is the coffin-shelf edition.

Keys for digital Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox email 31 August 2026. Switch digital 11 September 2026. Physical manufacturing can slip — see the roadmap. Playtests were a pre-order perk, not the launch build.
Co-op does not need two SKUs. Local split-screen is one machine, two pads. Family Sharing on Steam is extra, not online matchmaking.
If you already backed Kickstarter, do not double-buy Standard digital unless you like paying twice. Check the original tier before you add a shop SKU. Official store and Steam URLs live on links.
After you pay, stop optimizing SKUs and open getting started. The edition will not teach a jump kick.
Region, tax, and platform stores
USD prices on the official shop are pre-order stickers, not a promise that Steam, PlayStation Store, or Nintendo eShop will match them on 31 August 2026. Tax, regional pricing, and platform cut can move the number. If a console store lists a different SKU name, match the bullet list (cheat sheet, booklet, soundtrack) rather than the marketing adjective Deluxe.
Xbox Series buyers use the digital SKUs; there is no Xbox physical tier on the official physical table, which is Switch or PS5 only. Steam is digital-only here. Do not wait for a Steam disc.
Kickstarter backers who already paid $34 for Standard digital should not “upgrade” by buying Standard again at $40. Contact the studio via links if a backer portal offers a paid bump to Hardcore. Double-buying is the most expensive way to get a cheat sheet.
Playtests versus launch keys
Several digital SKUs listed Steam playtest eligibility. That was a pre-launch perk. It does not replace the 31 August 2026 key. If you joined a playtest, you still need the retail license for trophies, Arcade, and the full walkthrough. Keep both emails.
Soundtrack samplers versus full albums only matter if you listen outside the game. In-stage music plays either way. Buy Deluxe for the booklet and album; buy Hardcore for the sheet. Do not buy Hardcore only because a trailer featured a signed band — that trailer is marketing, not a unique SKU flag.
When November 2026 boxes slip, digital owners already playing on Steam should not panic-buy Physical Standard unless they want the cartridge. One digital license is enough for co-op on that machine.
