Golf is usually a quiet, dignified sport. You wear polo shirts, speak in hushed tones, and politely applaud a good putt.
Left Fore Dead: Zombie Battle Golf just ripped up that rulebook, doused it in lighter fluid, and set it on fire.
Launched today on Steam by developer MapleTaco, this isn’t your traditional day on the links. It’s a chaotic, hilarious blend of arcade golf and arcade survival where the greens are crawling with the undead, and your biggest threat might actually be the person sitting next to you on the couch.
The Pitch: Drive, Chip, and Destroy
The premise is brilliantly simple: grab up to three of your bravest (or most chaotic) friends, line up your shots, and try to finish a round across a series of utterly outrageous courses.
The catch? Everything is actively trying to ruin your scorecard.
The Undead: Zombies are roaming the fairways, ready to disrupt your swing.
The Courses: These aren’t your local country club setups. Expect wild hazards, ridiculous terrain, and layouts designed to punish mistakes.
Your “Friends”: With four-player multiplayer, expect sabotage to be par for the course. A perfectly aimed shot can easily be ruined by a well-timed nudge or a terrible decision from your teammates.
The Verdict: It’s the ultimate “friendship-testing” party game. If you’ve ever wanted to whack a golf ball into a zombie’s face while simultaneously ruining your best mate’s birdie streak, this is your moment.
Out Now on Steam
Whether you’re looking for a fresh Friday night party game or a casual co-op game to lose a few hours in, Left Fore Dead delivers arcade-style fun with a brilliantly dark comedic twist.
It is officially out now on Steam. Grab your clubs, gather your crew, and watch out for the water hazards… and the flesh-eaters.
The bullet-heaven genre is about to get a serious injection of gothic flair and high-seas plunder. Independent game developer Rock Pocket Games—the brilliant minds behind Moons of Madness and Shiftlings—has officially announced its upcoming action roguelite horde survivor, Outsail the Sun, coming to Steam.
If you’ve been looking for a fresh, dark spin on the wave-survival genre, it’s time to prepare your crew. You aren’t just surviving the horde; you’re managing a ship of literal “vampirates.”
The Ultimate High-Seas Bullet Heaven
In Outsail the Sun, players take the helm of a demonic pirate ship. Unlike typical arena-based horde survivors, where you control a single character on foot, this game introduces a ship-based combat system that blends manual aiming with automated crew mechanics.
As the captain, you have direct, manual control over your vessel’s mighty front cannon. Meanwhile, the ship’s side cannons are operated by your loyal crew. To survive the relentless onslaught of mythical sea creatures and opposing fleets, you will need to build an overpowered crew of fresh-fanged swabs, creating devastating combat synergies to rule the waves.
Key Gameplay Features
Avoid the Sun, Thrive in the Dark: You are a crew of vampires, which means the sun is your ultimate enemy. The daylight is an ever-present threat looming on the horizon, and no amount of sunblock can save you. You must stay one step ahead of the dawn, balancing your lust for blood and plunder with the race against sunrise.
Build Your Crew: Turn captured sailors into your newest vampire crewmates, or sacrifice existing ones to keep the peace. Keeping your crew and your demonic ship well-fed is a delicate, strategic balancing act essential for long-term survival.
Unique Horde Survival: Experience a ship-based bullet heaven that seamlessly merges manual control with auto-battle elements. A massive roster of gunners and support sailors allows for incredible build diversity.
Treasure Hunting & Exploration: Chart your course using mysterious treasure maps. Seek out priceless treasures and risk it all on perilous side quests across the dark oceans.
Join the Playtest
Rock Pocket Games has a stellar track record of using its technical prowess with the Unreal Engine to deliver highly polished, atmospheric experiences. The developer is already opening up Outsail the Sun for a playtest on Steam, giving players an early chance to help shape the balance of this high-stakes oceanic survivor.
Head over to the official Steam store page to wishlist the game and sign up for the playtest to achieve immortality under the moonlight.

If you suffer from a fear of heights—or a fear of things that go bump in the dark while you’re dangling 10,000 meters in the air—look away now. For the rest of the thrill-seeking stegophiles (that’s wall-climbing enthusiasts to you and me), it’s time to chalk up your hands.
In a surprise move today, developer Dark Machine Games and indie horror heavyweights DreadXP shadowdropped The Nest Update, a massive, completely free content expansion for their first-person roguelite speed-climber, White Knuckle.
To celebrate the surprise launch, a stellar new gameplay trailer has dropped, showcasing the deeply expanded (and deeply terrifying) nightmare awaiting players on Steam. Check out the trailer and get ready to sweat through your controller.
What is White Knuckle?
For the uninitiated, White Knuckle is a high-octane, lo-fi blend of Mirror’s Edge precision and intense physiological horror. Players are tasked with ascending through the gut-wrenching, industrial decay of SUB-STRUCTURE 17.
Every move requires deliberate stamina management. You use momentum-based mechanics to swing hand-over-hand, hammer pitons into crumbling concrete, and manage a limited inventory—all while a malicious, angry sludge oozes up from the abyss below. If your grip fails or you carry too much weight, eternity awaits you at the bottom.
Welcome to ‘The Nest’: What’s New?
The Nest Update marks the arrival of the campaign’s fifth major region (out of seven planned for the game’s full 1.0 release). Described as a subterranean “alien jungle,” this update shifts the game’s horror into overdrive by introducing unpredictable environments and dangerous wildlife.
Here is a breakdown of what you can expect when you load up the game today:
Dynamic Environments: The Nest features shifting layout mechanics. After surviving the starting zone, your path will randomly morph between the Infested Labs or the Hot Zone, before funnelling you into the terrifying Feeding Trough.
The Endless Mode: Think you’re a master climber? Beating The Nest region unlocks an entirely new Endless Mode to truly test your reflexes and endurance against global leaderboards.
Terrifying New Denizens: It’s not just the height you have to worry about anymore. The jungle is crawling with creepy new threats, including Spider Swarmers, packs of Grub Ants, and shambling, zombie-like Barnacle Zombies.
New Tools of the Trade: To help combat the horde, the update introduces The Handgun (a much-needed bit of firepower), new Signal Orchids to hang on to, and powerful new artefacts like The Rapier and The Barnacle Hook.
Note to Climbers:White Knuckle is currently in Steam Early Access with a full 1.0 release slated for 2027. If you haven’t picked it up yet, the developers have warned that the game will see a price increase following the upcoming Steam sales, making today the perfect time to grab it at a discount!
Watch the New Trailer
The newly released trailer perfectly highlights the frantic balance between tight platforming and absolute panic. Watch as the developer expands White Knuckle in a wild, creature-filled direction that elevates the tension to a whole new level:
White Knuckle: The Nest Update is live right now on Steam. Grab your gear, watch your stamina, and whatever you do… don’t look down.
Indie game fans and couch co-op lovers, assemble! Budapest-based independent developer Berries Studios has officially launched its debut title, The Artifactory, on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
Following a highly successful Steam release earlier this year (boasting a glowing 94% positive rating), this delightfully unhinged party game is finally bringing its frantic, magical factory-building mayhem to Nintendo’s hybrid console. Whether you’re playing at home on the big screen or taking the chaos on the go, it’s time to fire up the conveyor belts.
Check out the gameplay breakdown below to see what’s in store:
What is The Artifactory?
Imagine a world where fantasy crafting meets extreme factory mismanagement. In The Artifactory, you and up to three friends are tasked with running a whimsical, fast-paced lootbox factory. Your objective sounds simple enough: coordinate your actions, move resources along twisting conveyor belts, craft magical items, and successfully pack them into loot boxes before time runs out.
However, keeping this enchanted workplace running smoothly is next to impossible. You aren’t just following strict recipes; you are actively fighting against a factory that wants to sabotage you.
Key Features
Chaotic Couch Co-op: Local multiplayer mayhem for 1 to 4 players. Divide up tasks, yell out instructions, and try your absolute best not to accidentally bonk your teammate on the head with a rogue item.
Magical Crafting & Alchemy: Move beyond the basic instructions. Players can experiment with raw materials to discover entirely new item combinations, brewing rare potions, forging powerful weapons, and enchanting legendary gear.
The Factory Fights Back: Every level introduces unique, punishing hazards. You’ll need to master production lines while dealing with jammed conveyor belts that dump goods into lava, broken generators, moving platforms, haunted workstations, and pesky ghosts.
Accessible Yet Challenging: Designed with local social play in mind, The Artifactory is incredibly easy to pick up and learn, making it a perfect addition to family game nights, while still offering plenty of depth for seasoned co-op players.
“We’re a small, independent team building games that feel best on a couch, with a controller in each hand and three friends laughing next to you. The Artifactory is our love letter to local co-op: messy, magical, and a little bit unhinged.” — The Berries Studios Team
Available Now!
If you’ve been searching for the next great party game to scratch that Overcooked or Moving Out itch, The Artifactory is a must-download. Grab your Joy-Cons, round up your gaming crew, and prepare for some beautifully controlled chaos.
The Artifactory is available to purchase today on the Nintendo Switch eShop for £17.59 / $19.99.
Fans of dystopian survival and deep crafting mechanics, it’s time to fire up your engines. Helsinki-based developer Channel37 has officially deployed Update 5: New Horizons, the latest major Early Access content drop for their atmospheric hit, The Last Caretaker.
Available right now on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, this massive update shifts the game’s focus from mere lonely survival toward the active restoration of Earth. If you’ve been waiting for your actions on this flooded planet to truly mean something, this is the milestone patch you’ve been waiting for.
Check out the official breakdown of what’s waiting for you beneath the waves and across the stars.
1. Project Eden: Watch the World Heal
Up until now, your primary directive as the last active robotic Caretaker has been an isolated loop: salvage resources, nurture human embryo seeds in the Lazarus Complex, and launch them into orbit. With New Horizons, Project Eden begins. For the first time, your orbital committee’s progress results in physical, visible changes on Earth. As humanity’s future progresses in space, the Eden mega-structure will literally begin to rise from the sea.
2. The Committees Awaken
Those humans you’ve spent hours launching into the cosmos are no longer just success metrics on a terminal monitor. The Council of Humanity and Orbiting Committees have officially awakened. Players can now interact with space committees via terminal networks, unlocking entirely new development paths, technology rewards, and long-term restoration goals that filter back down to the surface.
3. Deep-Sea Encounters: Project Jonah & Theta-9
Project Jonah: Dive into a beautiful and mysterious new questline featuring a massive whale encounter. This addition introduces dedicated summoning locations, deep lore drops, and exclusive rewards.
Theta-9: Ready for a challenge? Players can now infiltrate Theta-9, a heavily sealed, flooded research facility constructed to study the mysterious Roth’s Anomaly. Expect eerie environments, corporate secrets, and high-tier loot.
4. Uncover ‘Cultural Memories’
Rebuilding a civilisation requires more than just manufacturing bodies; it requires preserving culture. Update 5 introduces Cultural Memories, scattered remnants of the world that came before. Using your Photodrone, you can hunt down and analyse ancient cave paintings, holographic memories, statue spires, and historical samples to piece together what caused Earth’s great deluge.
5. An Upgraded Arsenal of Tools & Tech
Channel37 has introduced a devastatingly fun lineup of new hardware to help optimise your salvage operations:
The Rhino Dismantler: A roaring, petrol-powered dismantling beast designed for faster, louder, and messier material recovery.
TideRipper™ Hand Jets: Need to navigate flooded corridors quickly? These hand jets completely overhaul underwater mobility.
PECO Grid Scan 2000: An essential utility upgrade allowing you to visually trace power lines, wire networks, and complex machine links.
Recovery Grinder & Rocket Payload Fabrication: Advanced loops for recycling and preparing your next rocket payload.
Data Recovery Deck: Now featuring actual MOD music playback to keep you company across the quiet ocean.
Technical Tuning and New Threats
It’s not an ocean paradise without a few hazards. Be on the lookout for new smarter-behaving threats, including Ram Sharks, Laser Sharks, and ArchAngels.
To balance the scale, the update introduces comprehensive under-the-hood overhauls. Players will experience a major memory optimisation pass, better CPU/GPU performance, enhanced underwater visibility through glass, HDR support, a brand-new wave and weather system, and full Italian and Spanish localisation.
The Verdict: Channel37 continues to prove why they are one of the most transparent and dedicated teams in Early Access gaming. New Horizons successfully bridges the gap between mechanical base-building and impactful storytelling.
The Last Caretaker is out now in Early Access on PC. Head over to Steam or Epic Games Store to grab the update or check out the free playable demo.
The fluffiest regimes are often the most ruthless. Indie developers PixelRats and publisher CobraTekku Games have officially dropped their highly anticipated stealth-adventure, KIYO – Bunny Tyranny, on PC via Steam.
If you have ever wanted to lead a one-cat revolution against an army of smartphone-addicted, totalitarian rabbits, your oddly specific dream has finally come true.
Welcome to Rabbithole City: The Fluffy Dystopia
At first glance, Rabbithole City looks like a neon-lit cyberpunk paradise—a modern, Japanese-inspired megacity where animals live in absolute luxury. But look a little closer, and you’ll find a strict, tech-driven dictatorship run by the authoritarian BunnyCorp.
Under the guise of technological progress and endless digital pleasure, the ruling rabbits have forced the city’s predatory citizens to abandon their natural instincts. Carnivores are heavily policed, monitored, and oppressed by a regime that values screen time over freedom.
The Premise: You are recruited by a mysterious, giant Owl who has had enough of the rabbit regime. He grants you control over the body of Kiyo, a fierce feline ex-predator, and tasks you with infiltrating BunnyCorp’s high-tech facilities to expose their deepest secrets and shatter the bunny tyranny once and for all.
Key Features of the Revolution
Tactical Stealth & Platforming: Tighten your bowstring. You will need to make clever decisions about when to stay hidden in dynamic shadows and when to strike. Use ninja rope acrobatics, distractions (like carrots!), and well-placed arrows to outsmart the rabbit police.
A Satirical, Cyberpunk Narrative: The game blends a gripping rebellion story with humorous, sharp commentary on modern smartphone addiction and real-world societal control.
Stunning Neon Pixel Art: Explore a beautifully handcrafted, semi-open overworld heavily inspired by vibrant East Asian cities, complete with immersive noir lighting.
Synthwave Beats: Sneak to the rhythm of a pulsing, original synthwave soundtrack that perfectly matches the game’s retro-futuristic aesthetic.
Native Compatibility: Alongside Windows, the game features native Linux support, making it perfectly optimised for on-the-go revolution on the Steam Deck.
Watch the Launch Trailer
Check out the official gameplay trailer to see Kiyo’s agility and bow skills in action:
Grab Your Copy Today!
Whether you prefer a pure, ghost-like stealth run or a chaotic, high-stakes ambush approach, KIYO – Bunny Tyranny offers plenty of tactical variety for indie action fans.
The game is out now on Steam (and is also available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch). Head over to the Steam store today to grab the game, test your stealth skills, and help Kiyo reclaim the city from its long-eared overlords!

The grueling, beautiful reality of EVE Frontier just got a lot more hostile—and a whole lot deeper.
Fenris Creations has officially deployed Cycle 6: Sanctuary, the latest major milestone for its in-development, hardcore space survival MMO. Available right now as part of the Founder Access roadmap, this massive update reshapes the core experience from a rough clay alpha into a fully realized space-survival sandbox.
Whether you are a seasoned Rider or looking to test the waters during the newly announced 5-day Free Trial, a total server wipe means everyone is waking up on a completely level playing field.
Here is everything you need to know about how Cycle 6: Sanctuary is laying down the permanent bedrock for the future of the Frontier.
Survival Loop 1.0: There Is No Safe Haven
If you thought you could simply dock at an NPC station and walk away from your keyboard in absolute safety, think again. Sanctuary officially locks the doors to those cozy, infinite-safety stations. Furthermore, there is no more safe log-off—your ship remains floating in the cold expanse of space even when you are offline.
Instead, survival requires you to build, maintain, and defend your own shelters (Refuges) and Field Storage nodes. You begin with nothing inside the ruins of a mysterious megastructure known as a Creche. Guided by an unknown entity, your immediate goal is to scavenge shattered ruins, construct your first crude tools, and carve out a place of actual safety before the universe claims you.
Modular Ships: Evolution From a Single “Root”
Say goodbye to rigid, level-based ship catalogs. Cycle 6 fundamentally rewrites how you interact with your vessel by introducing true modular ship construction.
Players now start with the bare-bones Root of a ship. From there, you physically print, refine, and attach individual modules directly aboard your vessel to dictate its purpose:
Engineering & Propulsion: Customize power generators, capacitor sizes, and fuel bays for long-haul journeys.
Command & Weapons: Fit passive gravity scanners, directional scanning rigs, or small cutting lasers.
Mobile Manufacturing: You can build configurations packed with mini-printers and material processors, effectively transforming your ship into a self-sufficient mobile factory roaming the dark.
Space Fights Back: Stellar Heat & Environmental Hazards
Space is no longer a passive, pretty backdrop for laser fights—it is actively trying to kill you. Sanctuary introduces dynamic cosmic physics grounded in hard science.
Nearby stars radiate intense Stellar Heat that bakes your hull. To survive in open space, you will have to actively manage line-of-sight occlusion, darting behind asteroids, debris field structures, and ancient space wrecks to avoid overheating. Neglect your gauges, and you’ll find yourself needing expensive Homeostatic Inoculations to fix permanent structural and character damage.
The Feral Threat Just Got Smarter (and Weirder)
The hostile rogue drone swarms, known as Ferals, have received massive behavioral upgrades. They now fiercely contest resource-rich sectors, actively hunt nearby vessels, and project a devastating Feralization status effect that corrupts the link between a Rider and their mechanical Shell.
Even worse? They have a lifecycle now. Keep an eye out for bizarre Leeches that latch onto your ship to drain your hard-earned resources. Once full, they flee to spin a chrysalis, eventually hatching into Wreck Stalkers—deadly mini-bosses that offer high-tier rewards for anyone brave enough to hunt them down.
Awakening Dormant Gates & Fuel Economies
Sanctuary also moves the macro-universe closer to a true player-driven society:
Dormant Gates: Scattered across starter systems lie ancient, broken highway networks. Players must pool resources together to repair and reactivate these massive structures, permanently bridging isolated sectors of the galaxy to open up new logistics and competitive frontlines.
The Fuel Loop: A brand new fuel-driven economy forces players to trade the in-game currency (LUX) for test versions of the ecosystem’s utility token to purchase Mining Lenses. Extracting crude matter from cosmic rifts and refining it into fuel is now mandatory to power your ships, bases, and industrial grids.
New to the Frontier? Fenris Creations has completely rebuilt the new player experience from scratch. A dynamic, context-aware tutorial now surfaces objectives only when they become relevant to what you are actively looking at or scanning—saving you from a wall of text while keeping the raw sense of exploration alive.
How to Play Right Now
If you don’t own Founder Access yet, you can still jump in today. Fenris Creations is offering a 5-day Free Trial for all new accounts and existing account holders who haven’t bought into the early development phases yet. Simply head over to the official site, create an account, boot up the launcher, and start customizing your first Rider.
Just remember: watch the stars, keep your lasers hot, and never assume you are safe in the dark.
The indie game scene is about to get a serious injection of 19th-century charm. ZAMARKAND, a fresh-faced indie studio hailing from Belgium, has just officially pulled back the curtain on their debut title, Bon Voyage.
To celebrate the announcement, the team dropped a gorgeous cinematic reveal trailer that sets the perfect tone for what’s to come.
Check out the trailer and get your first glimpse of the journey below:
Conduct Your Own Steam Train Through History
Bon Voyage invites players to step into the cabin of a majestic steam locomotive during the height of the 19th century. Your route? A beautifully stylised, historic Belgium.
As an idle game, Bon Voyage focuses on satisfying progression, strategy, and atmospheric relaxation. Players will:
Manage and Upgrade: Keep your steam train running smoothly, optimising routes and upgrading your locomotive components.
Explore Historic Belgium: Travel through beautifully rendered 19th-century landscapes, delivering cargo and uncovering the charm of a bygone era.
Relaxed Progression: Whether you are actively managing your tracks or letting your train roll across the countryside in the background, progress never stops.
Now Wishlistable on Steam
For a debut project, ZAMARKAND is already showing a keen eye for atmosphere and aesthetic. The blend of cosy idle mechanics with the rich, industrial aesthetic of 19th-century rail transport makes Bon Voyage an indie title worth keeping on your radar.
The game is officially headed to PC via Steam, and you can head over to their store page right now to add it to your wishlist.

If you miss the days when entering a new room meant a sudden shift in camera angle, a spike in your heart rate, and the agonising realisation that you only have three bullets left, it is time to turn off the lights.
Indie horror powerhouse Tainted Pact Games (the minds behind Massacre at the Mirage and Suffer the Night), alongside publisher Assemble Entertainment, have officially unleashed Flesh Made Fear onto the PlayStation 5. Previously a hit with PC players on Steam, this unapologetic love letter to 90s survival horror is making its console debut today for just €17.99.
Check out why you need to download this retro nightmare immediately.
Classic PSX Terror Meets Modern Body Horror
Flesh Made Fear doesn’t just borrow the aesthetic of the original Resident Evil trilogy; it channels its absolute essence. You take on the role of an elite operative in the Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.), deployed to a desolate backwater town to neutralise Victor “The Dripper” Ripper—a rogue, deranged former CIA agent.
Naturally, his twisted occult rituals and grotesque bio-experiments have turned the local woods and an ominous mansion-laboratory into a hunting ground for mind-controlled thralls and blood-soaked monstrosities.
What Awaits You Inside the Nightmare:
Fixed & Dynamic Cameras: Experience the claustrophobic dread of classic fixed-camera angles, seamlessly blended with modern dynamic tracking to keep you constantly guessing what’s lurking just out of frame.
Brutal Resource Management: Ammo is scarce. Healing items are limited. Your inventory slots are tight. Every single bullet you fire or item you leave behind in a safe room storage box, could be the difference between survival and a gruesome death.
Two Playable Characters: Choose your approach. Play as Natalie, who features a larger inventory but less health, or Jack, who can take a beating but has limited carrying capacity. Both characters feature unique stats and distinct storylines, giving you a massive reason to venture back into the dark for a second playthrough.
Intricate Puzzles & Cryptic Secrets: Progression isn’t just about shooting monsters. You’ll need to put your brain to the test to solve narrative-driven puzzles, handle limited save systems, and unlock the sinister conspiracy driving Victor Ripper’s madness.
“Many retro polygonal games nail the look, but not the feel. Flesh Made Fear nails both.”
Available Now on PlayStation 5
For only €17.99, Flesh Made Fear delivers high-quality voice acting, deeply unsettling body horror, and an authentic, nostalgia-fueled rush that console gamers have been starving for.
The doors to the nightmare are officially unlocked. Do you have what it takes to survive the night, or will the flesh claim you too? Head over to the PlayStation Store and find out.
The vampire genre is getting a serious injection of fresh blood this summer. Independent developer and publisher Over the Moon—the talented team behind critically acclaimed titles like The Fall and The Last Hero of Nostalgaia—has officially announced their next project.
Prepare your stakes: Vampire Hunter: Nightrise is officially locking in its launch for July 14, 2026, on Steam for just $14.99.
If you are tired of sprawling, bloated open-world games and want a tight, atmospheric experience that respects your time, this is one indie title you need on your radar.
The Castle is Your Real Opponent
Pitched by the developers as a first-person “Castlevania meets Tunic” (with a healthy dash of Outer Wilds), Vampire Hunter: Nightrise drops you into a massive, shifting Gothic fortress. Your goal is simple: navigate the labyrinth and slay the vampire before nightfall.
The twist? The castle itself is actively trying to outsmart you.
No Arbitrary Keys: Forget backtracking to find a blue keycard or a rusted iron key. In Nightrise, almost every area is accessible from the very beginning. The only barrier to entry is your own understanding.
A Shifting Labyrinth: The fortress is alive. Fireplaces rotate, bookcases slide out of view, watching portraits reveal hidden paths, and staircases completely reshape themselves. You have to master the mechanics of the architecture to survive.
Scavenge & Craft: In tense, first-person combat, you’ll utilise a heavy stake launcher to pin enemies to walls or shoot through open flames to ignite your targets. Running low on ammo? Just smash the castle’s wooden furniture to craft more stakes on the fly.
A Unique Mechanic: Faith as a Finite Resource
Historically, fictional vampire hunters rely on a crucifix and pure willpower. Nightrise takes that trope and turns it into a core gameplay mechanic.
In this game, Faith is a literal, finite resource that you must manage just as carefully as your physical ammunition. As you navigate the terrifying halls, the castle will actively try to erode your conviction, tempting you to trade your faith away in exchange for dark, immediate power. Every compromise and bargain you strike will subtly alter your survival chances and shape how the story concludes.
It delivers a focused, dread-inducing psychological atmosphere that clocks in at around three hours—making it the perfect, no-filler narrative game to tackle in a single, intense sitting.
Try the Demo Today!
Can’t wait until July 14th to start the hunt? You don’t have to. A free playable demo is available right now on Steam, letting you test your wits against the shifting halls before the full release.
Calling all Reviewers and Content Creators: If you write for a publication, run a gaming blog, or create video content, Over the Moon has confirmed that review keys are available upon request. Reach out to the developers to secure your copy ahead of launch.
Horror fans, pack your bags and check your flashlights, because we are heading to Silent Lamb Camp. If you’ve been craving that classic, blood-soaked 80s slasher vibe wrapped up in intense modern gameplay, indie developer Silent Lamb Studio has a direct line to your nightmares.
The studio has officially announced that the Kickstarter campaign for its highly anticipated asymmetrical multiplayer horror experience, Last Summer, is officially live!
To mark the launch, they’ve also dropped a brutal first gameplay trailer that gives us a glimpse of the terror to come:
What begins as one final carefree getaway quickly descends into terror. Arriving at Silent Lamb Camp ahead of the summer season, a group of friends spend their nights drinking, laughing, and sharing ghost stories around the campfire. But when the legend of a masked killer, said to arrive aboard a ghostly train and leave nothing but blood and silence in his wake, proves to be more than just a story, their final night becomes a desperate fight for survival.
The Rules of Survival: Hunt or Be Hunted
If you’ve spent hours running from killers in Friday the 13th: The Game or Dead by Daylight, Last Summer is aiming to be your next obsession. Built around community-driven design, the game splits players into two distinct roles:
The Killer: Stalk the shadows of Silent Lamb Camp as the legendary, masked “Train Killer.” Your objective is beautifully simple: isolate the victims, spread fear, and trigger visceral execution moves (including a uniquely brutal “Television Environmental Execution”) to eliminate every last survivor.
The Campers: Survival relies entirely on teamwork, instinct, and quick thinking. You’ll choose from characters with unique stats and attributes, scavenge for resources, coordinate with friends, and even fight back when cornered.
With dynamic encounters, multiple escape routes, and a deep character customization tool, no two matches will ever play out the same way.
Why Back Last Summer on Kickstarter?
Silent Lamb Studio, led by industry veteran Tomasz Dutkiewicz, is building a completely original horror universe from the ground up, and they want the community to help shape it.
By backing the campaign, horror enthusiasts can secure a ton of exclusive rewards, expand the game via upcoming stretch goals, and directly influence early development.
Here is a quick look at what backers can expect to unlock:
Closed Beta Access to test your survival skills early.
The Full Game on PC via Steam upon release.
Exclusive Cosmetics to customise your camper’s look.
Private Discord Channels for exclusive behind-the-scenes access.
Exclusive Prints and physical horror swag.
“We’ve always loved the tension, atmosphere, and unpredictability of classic slasher movies, and Last Summer is our love letter to that genre,” says Tomasz Dutkiewicz, Studio Head. “Launching on Kickstarter allows us to bring players into the process and build this nightmare together.”
Get Involved
The train is pulling into the station, and the camp gates are wide open. Are you ready to see if you have what it takes to survive until sunrise, or will you become just another ghost story whispered around the campfire?
Indie tactical fans, it is time to mark your calendars and prep your flying pirate ships. Developer Klukva Games (alongside co-publisher Spaghetti Cat) has officially announced the launch date for their highly anticipated debut tactical roguelite, Dead Weight.
Set your alarms: the game officially hits Steam on July 16, 2026, at 18:00 CEST for $12.99.
What is Dead Weight?
If you ever wondered what would happen if you mixed the tight, grid-based puzzle combat of Into the Breach with the deep character building of Final Fantasy Tactics, all wrapped up in a beautiful Lovecraftian-steampunk aesthetic—Dead Weight is your answer.
Having already amassed over 120,000 Steam wishlists, placing it comfortably in Steam’s top-400 most anticipated upcoming titles, this passion project by two friends is shaping up to be one of the summer’s biggest indie hits.
The Premise: The world is rapidly fracturing. Ancient Gods with highly questionable morals have awoken from their eternal slumber, threatening what remains of humanity. It’s up to you to board a flying steamship, recruit a fierce crew, manage your fuel, and explore dangerous floating islands scattered across the skies.
Key Features to Get Excited For
Tiny Battlefields, Massive Choices: The turn-based tactical combat takes place on compact, tight grids where every single step matters. You’ll need to use the environment to your advantage—like shoving enemy goblins and monsters off the edges of floating islands into the abyss below.
Deep Character Builds: Choose from 4 unique playable characters (including Arn, the heavy-hitting Barbarian) and dive into a massive skill tree. With hundreds of weapons and items, the multiclassing possibilities are virtually endless.
Risk vs. Reward Mechanics: As you explore ancient ruins and gather loot, you’ll have to manage a “Madness” meter. High madness means harsher environments and tougher, corrupted enemies—but it also promises higher-tier item drops.
Stunning Pixel Art: The game boasts meticulously detailed, old-school pixel art that contrasts beautifully with its dark fantasy and sky-pirate theme.
Prepare to Face the Gods
Whether you choose to fight the awakening Ancient Gods or pursue their forbidden knowledge for your own gain, the skyways of Dead Weight promise a hardcore, infinitely replayable strategy experience.
With the developers also rolling out a massive final update to their Steam demo, there’s no better time to get a taste of the skies before the full launch next month.
Head over to the Dead Weight Steam Page right now to try the demo and add it to your wishlist!
