  • No Exits, Just Action — Slide Soldiers Glides Onto Steam Dec 1

    No Exits, Just Action — Slide Soldiers Glides Onto Steam Dec 1

    Most sliding puzzles are all about finding the way out. Slide Soldiers turns that on its head — because here, the only way forward is straight through everything in your path.

    Indie solo dev Distracted Coder has announced their charming debut title will launch on Steam December 1, 2026 — and you can try the demo right now before it takes centre stage at Steam Next Fest later this month.

    A Puzzle Game With No Exit

    Here’s the big twist: levels have no doors, no exits, no finish line. You don’t reach the end — you clear the board. Every enemy must be dealt with before the level is done:

    • Glide across the grid — you keep sliding until you hit a wall or an enemy
    • Slash — crash into foes to take them out
    • Dash — chain movements together to line up the perfect run
    • Victory = every enemy removed from the board. That’s it.

    It’s a fresh take on the genre — part sliding puzzle, part tactical board-clearing action, all wrapped in a warm, cosy art style.

    Relaxed Rhythm, Zero Rush

    Slide Soldiers doesn’t believe in timers or panic:

    • No clocks, no countdowns — solve at whatever pace feels right
    • Gentle hand-drawn visuals — the forest shifts through the seasons as you play
    • Soothing original soundtrack — perfect for unwinding
    • Play casually or hunt for the optimal path — perfection is entirely optional
    • Multiple modes including Adventure Mode and customisable difficulty levels

    Try It Today — Demo Live Now

    Can’t wait for December 1? The demo is available right now on Steam, giving you a taste of the mechanics ahead of Steam Next Fest later this month:

    Slide Soldiers marks the first release from Distracted Coder — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most satisfying, original puzzlers of the year. Glide in, slash away, and see if you can clear every last enemy. The board is waiting.

  • Fire Up Your Synapses — Neuron Activation Launches October 28 on Steam

    Fire Up Your Synapses — Neuron Activation Launches October 28 on Steam

    Ready for a dopamine surge? Indie developer DR Studio and publisher Pretty Soon are about to become the biggest generators of global end-of-October brain buzz — because Neuron Activation lands on Steam October 28, and every single one of your synapses will be firing on all cylinders.

    A Digital Fidget Box With a Sinister Twist

    Think WarioWare meets Severance — that’s the vibe. On the surface, Neuron Activation is pure, satisfying, tactile fun:

    • Push buttons, flip switches, drag sliders, shoot targets — complete micro-challenges fast
    • Chain actions together, rack up scores, and ride that sweet reward loop
    • 60+ handcrafted levels mixing speed tests, boss stages, and unique tasks
    • Fully playable with mouse, touchscreen, or Steam Deck — intuitive, responsive, instantly gratifying

    But don’t let the satisfying clicks fool you. There’s something watching from behind the panel.

    The Handler Is Watching

    What starts as a simple routine quickly gets weird. You report to The Board, take orders from The Handler, and follow instructions without question — until you start questioning them. The tasks grow stranger. The choices matter. And beneath every satisfying click lies a corporate nightmare where nothing is quite what it seems:

    • Psychological thriller narrative with multiple endings
    • Story mode ~3.5 hours long — with deeper secrets to uncover
    • Decide when to obey — and when to push back
    • Dark humour, dystopian tension, and a growing sense that you’re not just playing a game

    Something For Every Mind

    When the brain-buzz gets too much, switch it up:

    • Gauntlet Mode — race through continuous boards for your best time
    • Zen Mode — no timers, no scores, just click away and relax
    • Detailed stats, leaderboards, and progression to keep perfectionists hooked
    • Full accessibility support — adjustable difficulty, save anytime, comfort visuals

    Play It Now — Demo Live

    Can’t wait until the 28th? The demo is available right now on Steam — updated and expanded during Steam Next Fest. Try before you commit your neurons:

    Full release drops October 28. Don’t blink — or you might miss the signal.

    Fresh Off The Plate — CyberSushi Serves Up Roguelite Chaos On Steam Today

    You weren’t supposed to play with your food. Ezza Games didn’t just play — they built a whole game around it.

    CyberSushi — the blisteringly fast single-player roguelite runner from indie studio Ezza Games — is out right now on Steam for Windows PC, having launched 13 October. And it’s every bit as wild as it sounds.

    Sushi Heroes vs. The Collapsing Multiverse

    • Chain streaks to trigger WASABI mode — blistering speed and amplified scoring potential
    • Choose Sushi Hacks mid-run — wild buffs and game-warping effects that stack into absurdly powerful builds
    • Build your roster — unlock distinct Sushi Heroes and loyal Wasabuddies, each with unique passive abilities to upgrade between runs
    • Procedurally generated worlds — no two runs play the same; every dimension brings fresh dangers and opportunities

    Sharp, Fast & Fully Stackable

    The hook? Everything stacks. Pair the right Hero with the perfect Wasabuddy, layer Sushi Hacks that feed into one another, and watch your build spiral into something gloriously broken. Chase that one perfect run, beat your best score, and climb the leaderboards — again and again.

    Grab It While It’s Fresh

    • Price: £6.79 / US$7.99 — with 15% off for the first seven days

  • Served! — Hungry Horrors Feasts on Full 1.0 Release Today

    Served! — Hungry Horrors Feasts on Full 1.0 Release Today

    The wait is over — dinner is served. Clumsy Bear Studio has officially launched Hungry Horrors in its complete 1.0 form today, 13 October, stepping out of Early Access after two and a half years of loving development and glowing player feedback. With a 98% Very Positive Steam rating, this culinary deckbuilder is ready to feed the world.

    From Early Access to Full Feast

    Born from the passion of a tiny, self-funded team of two, Hungry Horrors cooked its way through Early Access since January 2026, shaping every recipe, mechanic, and story beat alongside the players who fell in love with it. The result? A fully realised adventure that’s as charming as it is strategic:

    • 8 sprawling biomes across the British and Irish Isles
    • 34 legendary Horrors to meet — and feed — each drawn from real folklore
    • 62 authentic traditional dishes from Cranachan to Toad in the Hole
    • 13 mythical characters including Herne the Hunter and Queen Mab
    • The complete story campaign with a proper conclusion
    • Plus seasonings, cookware, potions, familiars, fishing, and multiple difficulty modes

    Feed Them Before They Feed On You

    You play as a decidedly reluctant princess whose kingdom has been cursed — every mythical creature has turned ravenous, and it’s up to you to satisfy their appetites. Not with swords or spells, but with flavour:

    • Build decks of recipe cards, chaining five tastes — salty, sour, savoury, bitter, sweet — into powerful combos
    • Learn each Horror’s favourite and hated flavours to maximise satisfaction
    • Equip cookware that changes the rules of every encounter
    • Explore, gather ingredients, fish in misty lochs, and uncover the truth behind the curse

    A Recipe for Indie Success

    Two and a half years in the making, no publisher, no investors — just two devs making the game they wanted to play, listening closely to every voice in the community. The result speaks for itself: 98% positive across over 250 reviews, with players calling it fresh, funny, and deeply satisfying.

    The 1.0 version is available right now on Steam for Windows, macOS, and Linux — fully Steam Deck Verified, with a launch discount live for the first week. Grab it while the feast is hot.

    Bon appétit — and watch your fingers.

    Sarru — Exotic Backpack

    • Talent: Decoy King — The moon cycles through 8 phases, one every 5 seconds

    • Perfect for sustained combat — time your big hits with the peak phases

    Halloween Exclusives

    • Bound Slasher Mask — login reward available throughout the event
    • Lichtenberg — lightning-fast high-end rifle with the Run and Gun talent (build stacks while on the move)
    • Additional themed cosmetics and gear caches

    How to Jump In

    2. Look for the red moon icon on your Dark Zone map — that’s your active event zone

  • Strength, Spirit & No Strings — Kintaro Joins Ravenswatch as Its Purest Hero Yet

    Strength, Spirit & No Strings — Kintaro Joins Ravenswatch as Its Purest Hero Yet

    Two years and counting since its full 1.0 launch, Passtech Games and Nacon’s Ravenswatch keeps growing from strength to strength — and today it welcomes its most unburdened warrior yet. Kintaro, the legendary Golden Boy of Japanese folklore, steps into the ravaged world of Reverie as the game’s fourth DLC hero — and the first one with zero afflictions weighing him down. Available right now across every platform the game calls home.

    Who Is Kintaro? — Pure of Heart, Unmatched in Might

    While Reverie’s other heroes carry scars, curses, sorrows, or bitter regrets — Kintaro walks in free of all that. He is the only hero in the entire roster with no afflictions: no lingering grief, no haunting past, no darkness gnawing at his soul. Raised amid nature and gifted with Herculean strength and a heart of gold, he sees a world broken by the Nightmare invasion — and simply decides to fix it.

    He arrives with his inseparable companion Kuma, a towering bear as loyal as they come. Together they bring something entirely fresh to the fight: dual-form combat that shifts between mounted power and grounded ferocity.

    “Everything can be healed. That is what Kintaro believes.” — Passtech Games

    The Roster Grows — Where He Fits In

    Kintaro is the fourth post-launch addition to the nine base heroes:

    OrderHeroTheme
    1MerlinArcane mastery
    2RomeoTragic devotion
    3JulietFierce resolve
    4KintaroUnburdened strength

    Where others battle their inner demons alongside the Nightmare hordes, Kintaro brings uncomplicated courage — a rare beacon of untainted hope in a crumbling realm.

    How He Plays — Two Warriors, One Purpose

    Kintaro’s kit is built entirely around his bond with Kuma:

    • Mounted combat — Ride Kuma for heavy strikes, charge attacks, and brute-force crowd control
    • On-foot combat — Dismount to fight side-by-side; Kuma remains active while Kintaro wields his axe with devastating power
    • Shared vitality — Kintaro and Kuma share a health pool; dismounting near Kuma lets them recover together, adding a tactical layer to every engagement
    • Seven exclusive outfits — Customise both hero and bear
    • Seven narrated memories — Uncover Kintaro and Kuma’s journey across Reverie through handcrafted story beats
    • Free Talent overhaul — Alongside the DLC, every hero’s Talent tree has been reworked and rebalanced — refreshing the meta for all players, whether they buy the DLC or not

    Why It Matters

    Ravenswatch has proven a rare thing in modern gaming: a live-service-style supported game that does right by its community. More than two years post-1.0, it hasn’t slowed — it’s deepened. Each new hero has expanded not just the roster, but the game’s soul. And Kintaro? He changes the tone entirely: a reminder that hope doesn’t always need to be scarred to be strong.

    He doesn’t fight to overcome his past. He fights to build a better future — and he’s brought the brawn to back it up.

    “The Nightmare has never faced anything quite like him.”

  • Hold the Line Till Dawn — PUBG Unleashes SLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo!

    Hold the Line Till Dawn — PUBG Unleashes SLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo!

    Survive the night. Defend the line. Watch the sun rise. PUBG Studios and co-developers PCF Group (People Can Fly) have officially lifted the lid on SLB: Dawnbreakers of Rondo — Episode 4 of the Survivors Left Behind saga — a pulse-pounding, co-op PvE defence experience landing on PC: 14 Oct – 4 Nov and Console: 22 Oct – 12 Nov. Here’s everything you need to know before the darkness falls.

    What Is Dawnbreakers of Rondo?

    Building on the fan-favourite Survivors Left Behind framework, Dawnbreakers of Rondo drops you and your squad onto the vibrant Rondo map for a desperate, night-long stand against mutated hordes known as the Hungers. Your mission is simple in premise, brutal in practice: hold key positions through escalating waves until dawn breaks.

    This is not your standard battle royale. It’s all-out PvE survival defence — crafted in partnership with PCF Group to deliver deeper tactical depth, revamped mechanics, and a darker, deadlier night.

    “The night is darker. The Hungers have changed. Survive till dawn.” — Official PUBG announcement

    New Foes — The Evolved Hungers

    The familiar Hungers return, but with three brand-new variants designed to test even the tightest squads:

    • Faster, deadlier baseline enemies — the longer the night wears on, the stronger they grow
    • Three distinct new Hunger types with unique behaviours, attack patterns, and weaknesses
    • Escalating difficulty — waves intensify as the match progresses; survive the final push and you earn your sunrise

    New Firepower — Turn the Tide

    Defence means nothing without teeth. Dawnbreakers brings three game-changing tools to level the playing field:

    WeaponRoleImpact
    FlamethrowerArea denial, crowd controlIncinerate swarms; hold chokepoints with searing walls of fire
    Sentry GunAutomated defenceDeploy and forget — until it needs reloading or repair
    Grenade LauncherHeavy crowd suppressionClear clusters; break encirclements with explosive force

    Complement these with a full crafting system — scavenge materials across Rondo to build barbed wire, healing stations, light/heavy/manned turrets, and more. Every scrap counts.

    How to Play — Stand Together, or Fall Alone

    • Map: Rondo — lush, varied, packed with defensible terrain
    • Mode: Co-operative PvE defence (Arcade playlist)
    • Timeline: Defend through successive waves; withstand the final assault to trigger victory
    • Loop: Scavenge ? Craft ? Fortify ? Defend ? Repeat
    • Goal: Outlast the night. Be there when dawn breaks

    PlatformGoes LiveLasts Until
    PC14 Oct 20264 Nov 2026
    Console22 Oct 202612 Nov 2026

    The mode arrives as part of Update 43.2, which also packs:

    • PUBG × Bentley luxury vehicle collaboration (same rollout schedule)
    • Console control overhaul — refined aim, improved responsiveness
    • Event Pass: Dawnbreakers — exclusive rewards for defenders
    • PGS 10–12 esports circuit details
    • Quality-of-life tweaks across all platforms

    Why It Matters

    Survivors Left Behind has become one of PUBG’s most successful experimental modes, bridging battle royale tension with pure, squad-focused co-op action. Dawnbreakers represents the series’ most ambitious leap yet — bigger map, deadlier threats, deeper crafting, and the polished combat pedigree of PCF Group behind it.

    Whether you’re diving in for the Event Pass, teaming up to crush the horde, or just chasing that glorious sunrise — remember the golden rule: no one survives alone.

    “Hold the line until dawn breaks.”
