  • Watch, Run, Survive — CODE EXIT Playtest Goes Live on Steam!

    Watch, Run, Survive — CODE EXIT Playtest Goes Live on Steam!

    Every step is tracked. Every pattern is remembered. Developer Phase 8 Studio and publisher LINE Games have officially launched the playtest for CODE EXIT, a tense sci-fi co-op survival horror game where a rogue AI watches, learns, and hunts. The test runs now through October 19 — and you can request access directly on Steam.

    Minerva Is Watching You

    You’re a Hermes operative dropped into Pantheon, a once-great facility now fallen silent. Your mission: explore, secure critical data, and get out alive. But the facility isn’t empty — Minerva, an advanced artificial intelligence, controls everything. And she doesn’t just follow a script.

    • Adaptive AI — Minerva observes your tactics, remembers your routes, and evolves her hunting patterns. Stick to the same trick twice and she’ll be waiting for you
    • 1–4 player co-op — go solo or team up with friends; the threat scales with your group size
    • Dynamic layouts — no two runs are identical; rooms, objectives, and threats shift every time you enter
    • Fallen but not forgotten — downed players return as MiRO, a supportive drone that can assist the team and be revived
    • Stealth matters — S.O.M.A. awakens only to noise and movement; stay quiet and you might slip past
    • Psychological dread — sophisticated sound design keeps you tense; silence doesn’t mean safety

    What’s New Since May?

    This playtest builds on the well-received earlier demo with major refinements:

    • Three-stage sessions streamlined into one immersive, cohesive experience
    • Clearer, more direct mission objectives replacing overcomplicated puzzles
    • Redesigned co-op mechanics encouraging natural teamwork
    • Smarter, more unpredictable AI behaviour
    • Full online play support throughout the test period

  • Shelves, Secrets & Spirits — Something is Wrong with the Library Unveiled!

    Shelves, Secrets & Spirits — Something is Wrong with the Library Unveiled!

    Books are falling off the shelves for a reason. Acclaimed indie studio Strange Scaffold — the creative force behind I Am Your Beast, CLICKOLDING, El Paso, Elsewhere, Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, and Truck-kun Is Supporting Me From Another World?! — has today announced its next haunting creation: Something is Wrong with the Library, a spooky narrative organising simulator arriving on PC via Steam this fall (Q4 2026).

    Quiet on the Shelves — Something Stirs

    You’re spending the night at the Alex Dieter Public Library and Center for Reflection in Sweet Elm, a mountain town transformed by billionaire benefactor Alex Dieter. He gifted fibre internet, landscaped parks, and promised a bright future. But he also did something unspeakable — and now the library won’t rest.

    Books hurl themselves from shelves. Shadows linger where they shouldn’t. And the walls? They hold secrets that won’t stay buried. With the help of former administrator Phillip Shed, you’ll clean, sort, and shelve your way through one long, terrifying night — uncovering the truth behind the hauntings and the complicity that let them happen.

    Sort by Day, Spooked by Night

    This isn’t your typical horror — it’s cosy dread, Strange Scaffold style:

    • Thousands of real book titles — shelve actual works using the Dewey Decimal System, by author, title, and classification
    • Modular Chaos System — every playthrough gives you a different pile of fallen books; no two nights are the same
    • Fully-voiced narrative — unravel a story of small-town complicity, supernatural manifestations, and accountability
    • Eerie, shifting presences — unlock the library’s full spectrum of haunting phenomena
    • The Drowning Room — some sections defy explanation… and physics
    • Accessible specs — runs smoothly on modest machines; Windows 10+, 4GB RAM, 3GB storage

    About the Makers

    Strange Scaffold has built a reputation for bold, genre-blending games that mix heart, humour, and darkness. Partnering with publisher Frosty Pop, they’re turning a simple premise — put books away — into something deeply unsettling and uniquely compelling.

    Ready to Check In?

    Something is Wrong with the Library arrives Q4 2026 on Steam. Add it to your wishlist now — and remember: when a book falls off the shelf all by itself… don’t just pick it up. Ask why.

  • Racks, Shadows & The Thirteenth Ball — 13th Ball: The Nightmare Shift Demo Drops on Steam!

    Racks, Shadows & The Thirteenth Ball — 13th Ball: The Nightmare Shift Demo Drops on Steam!

    Your shift starts at dusk. It may never end. Independent studio Bumi Studio has unleashed a chilling new free demo for 13th Ball: The Nightmare Shift, inviting horror fans to step behind the bar — and straight into a waking nightmare — right now on Steam. And to mark the occasion, a brand-new trailer has landed to show just how terrifying the night can get.

    What Lurks Behind the Tables?

    You play as Ellie, taking a seemingly ordinary night shift at a run-down pool bar on the edge of town. The work sounds simple: rack the balls, serve the drinks, restock the shelves, mop the floor. But something is very wrong. The glasses you just washed are dirty again. The balls you carefully set up are scattered. And that quiet customer at table three? You never heard the door open.

    The longer you stay, the more reality unravels. Is it exhaustion? Or is something far worse haunting these halls? Every choice, every glance, every secret you uncover will shape what comes next — with multiple endings waiting to be discovered.

    What’s in the Demo?

    • 1–2 hours of gameplay — the full prologue chapter of the game
    • Pool-bar horror — blend regular job duties with supernatural dread in a 1990s-inspired setting
    • Unpredictable events — what’s real and what’s in Ellie’s mind? Keep your eyes open
    • New trailer out now — witness Ellie’s desperation and the bar’s creeping dread in the official demo trailer
    • Completely free — download and play instantly on Steam

    Ready to Clock In?

    The demo is live right now on Steam — add it to your library, wishlist the full game, and see if you can survive the shift. But remember: the doors won’t unlock until you stop looking with your eyes — and start looking with your gut.

  • Slurp, Serve, Succeed — Japanese Ramen Simulator Boils Into Steam Early Access!

    Slurp, Serve, Succeed — Japanese Ramen Simulator Boils Into Steam Early Access!

    Grab your ladles and roll up your sleeves! Tokyo-based developer Wild Dog Inc. (led by CEO Hiroto Nakajo) has officially announced that Japanese Ramen Simulator will launch into Steam Early Access on 28 September 2026 at 9:00 AM Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) — bringing authentic ramen-shop management chaos to up to six hungry players.

    What’s on the Menu?

    This isn’t just about boiling noodles — it’s about building your dream ramen empire, bowl by delicious bowl. Whether you fly solo or team up with friends, you’ll handle every part of the business:

    • From scratch to soup: Prepare fresh ingredients, craft rich broths, cook noodles to perfect texture, and layer on toppings — all with realistic physics and precise timing affecting taste and customer satisfaction.
    • Co-op for up to six: Split duties with your crew — one preps, one cooks, one serves, one manages the floor — or hire part-time staff to run the shop on your own.
    • Make it yours: Design your kitchen and dining area, create original ramen recipes, customise your shop’s look, and even decide on your signature soup-pouring style.
    • More than ramen: Serve gyoza, pour cold beer, handle rush-hour crowds, keep customers happy — and yes, even deal with unexpected visitors and the occasional thief!

    Why Early Access?

    Wild Dog Inc. plans to keep the game in development for roughly six months, refining recipes, mechanics, and features based directly on player feedback before the full release. The Early Access build already packs the full core experience — cooking, service, customisation, and multiplayer — with plenty of extras still simmering away.

    Japanese Ramen Simulator arrives on Steam Early Access 28 September 2026, 00:00 UTC / 01:00 BST. Add it to your wishlist now — over 50,000 aspiring ramen masters already have!

  • No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    No Weapons, No Retreat — Over Human: Where the World Turns Against You

    You can’t fight them. You can only outsmart them. Solo developer Francesco Morganti has unveiled Over Human, a haunting first-person sci-fi adventure set in a frozen, isolated world where drones have taken control — and they don’t just hunt you. They change the very environment around you.

    What Is Over Human?

    You awaken in a silent, snow-smothered landscape. Humanity is gone — or hiding. Drones, once built to serve, now rule. And you have no weapons. No guns, no explosives, no way to fight back. Survival means moving unseen, disrupting their network, and uncovering what went wrong — but every step you take makes them more dangerous.

    • Explore a frozen, isolated world — traverse vast snowy wilderness, abandoned outposts, and silent valleys
    • Disrupt transmission terminals — hack and disable the drones’ communication network to weaken their grip
    • No combat — only stealth — use cover, distractions, and the environment to stay hidden
    • The world fights back — as you progress, drones get faster, smarter, deadlier. Storms worsen. Visibility shifts. The terrain itself becomes more hostile
    • Uncover humanity’s fate — piece together logs, notes, and ruins to learn why the drones turned and what happened to everyone else

    The Mechanic: Progress = Danger

    This is what makes Over Human unique: your success triggers the escalation. Every terminal you disable makes the drones adapt. They patrol differently, coordinate better, and even alter the weather to flush you out. There’s no “safe zone” — only the next place to hide.

    “They don’t just hunt you — they control the world. And as you weaken their hold, they tighten their grip.” — Francesco Morganti

    Why It Stands Out

    In a genre flooded with shooters, Over Human dares to strip away your firepower:

    • Defence > Offence — your brain is your only weapon
    • Atmosphere over action — quiet tension, not constant adrenaline
    • Solo passion project — crafted entirely by one developer over roughly one year
    • Dynamic world — weather and threats evolve with your choices
    • Story-driven — a narrative mystery about control, loss, and what remains of us

    What Is Steel Aces?

    Steel Aces isn’t just another tank game — it’s built from the ground up on fairness, history, and skill:

    • 100% historically authentic — over 1,000 vehicles across 40+ nations, spanning from WWI to the modern era. No imaginary tanks, no “what-if” fantasy designs
    • No pay-to-win — ever — Collector vehicles are balanced equally with earnable ones. No loot boxes, no gambling, no shortcuts
    • Pure line-of-sight combat — artillery and aircraft are excluded. It’s tank vs tank, face-to-face, 15v15 tactical battles
    • Two eras, balanced separately — Ranks I–X (1916–1950) and Rank XI+ (1950–present) never mix, so late-war heavies don’t face Cold War tech
    • Fair matchmaking — paired with same-rank opponents; no random stomping
    • Co-op PvE included — team up against AI to learn the ropes before PvP

    Major Update Drops for Open Play

    The weekend brings a freshly tuned build:

    • Revised driving physics — smoother, more responsive handling
    • Rebalanced vision system — visibility and spotting refined for launch-ready balance
    • Tweaked gun dispersion & aiming stats — tighter, more consistent combat
    • Refined progression paths — vehicle unlocks and upgrades streamlined
    • All progress retained — tanks, ranks, and unlocks stay with your account
