In 2014, he began working on the remake, which was financed through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter in October 2015 with the game receiving €4,245 surpassing the goal of €2,500.

Demetrios received mixed to positive reception by video game critics, resulting in an averaged Metacritic score of 72/100 based on 14 reviews.
