  • Wings, Whispers & Wild Skies — STONEFEATHER Takes Flight As Free Demo Lands On Steam!

    Wings, Whispers & Wild Skies — STONEFEATHER Takes Flight As Free Demo Lands On Steam!

    What if the greatest reward in gaming wasn’t defeating what stands in your way — but simply learning how to soar above it? That’s the beautiful, bold promise at the heart of STONEFEATHER, the atmospheric indie adventure from developer ACGames — and today players everywhere can spread their wings, as its free playable demo goes live on Steam as part of the Unmistakable Festival, running October 8–12.

    Where The Journey Is The Victory

    STONEFEATHER isn’t about swords, shields, or overcoming foes. It’s about flight — pure, graceful, physics-driven flight. You play as a bird born of stone, waking in a world where the wind itself has faded. There are no enemies to strike down, no health bars to monitor, no bosses to conquer. Instead, your quest is to remember how to fly, how to see, and how to restore the life drifting away from the land.

    • Physics-first flight — every glide, dip, and climb feels tangible. Ride warm updrafts to gain height, tuck your wings to slice through the air, and build momentum to reach places others can’t
    • A silent, sunlit world — drift across vast plains, weave through crumbling ancient ruins, and soar over valleys steeped in mystery. The silence is intentional — this is a place to breathe, not to fight
    • Restore the wind — piece together what happened to the vanished breeze, unlock the powerful Wind Boost, and help the skies wake once more

    The Plains Await — What The Demo Offers

    The demo whisks you to the Plains, the first sweeping region of the full game. It’s a gentle but memorable introduction to everything STONEFEATHER stands for:

    • Master the basics of flight and feel the difference between a clumsy flutter and a graceful glide
    • Encounter the Elder, who sets you on your path and hints at the deeper magic woven into these lands
    • Meet fox spirits who offer movement challenges to test your skill and reward your growing mastery
    • Seek out hidden butterflies and quiet secrets scattered across the landscape — some visible only when you know where to look

    This isn’t a rush to a finish line. You can skim the surface of the experience or dive deep, circling every ruin and skimming every cloud until you know the Plains like your own home.

    Double The Festival, Double The Time

    The demo launches with Unmistakable Festival (Oct 8–12) — a celebration of art and animation in games — and will also continue into the Birds of Play Digital Showcase (Oct 10–16), giving you plenty of windows to take to the skies.

    Why It Matters

    In a gaming landscape often defined by conflict, competition, and chaos, STONEFEATHER stands apart — a reminder that exploration can be its own reward. Every height you reach, every view you uncover, every gust you catch is a victory in itself.

    The wind is waiting. The sky is open. And you were born to fly.

    Download the demo, spread your wings, and remember how to soar.

  • Blight, Blade & Burden — The Relic: First Guardian Descends Upon Switch 2 October 9!

    Blight, Blade & Burden — The Relic: First Guardian Descends Upon Switch 2 October 9!

    A shadow stretches across the land, and only one soul stands between hope and oblivion. Developer and publisher Project Cloud Games and Perp Games are proud to announce that The Relic: First Guardian, their atmospheric dark fantasy action-RPG, arrives exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 this October 9th — and you are the champion the realm has been waiting for.

    A Kingdom Cloaked in Shadow

    The once-vibrant kingdom of Aethra lies fading under the creeping spread of the Blight — a corrupting force that twists the land, warps its creatures, and gnaws at the very memory of civilisation. Ancient guardians have fallen. The sacred Relic that once bound darkness at bay has fractured. Now, as the last chosen bearer of its light, you must venture into the blighted wilds, reunite its shards, and restore hope before the world is lost entirely.

    This isn’t a tale of invincible heroes marching to easy victory — it is a journey through a realm in grief, where every patch of reclaimed land feels like a triumph, and every ally saved is a precious light in the gathering dark.

    Forged in Combat, Tempered by Choice

    The Relic: First Guardian delivers a deeply hands-on action experience designed to feel sharp, responsive, and rewarding:

    • Weighty, tactical combat — strike, dodge, parry, and unleash relic powers against corrupted beasts, twisted knights, and towering abominations
    • Grow your guardian — master distinct weapon classes, unlock powerful abilities, and tailor your build to match your playstyle
    • A world in flux — heal the land as you progress; regions transform, new paths open, and hope returns where once there was only ruin
    • Rich, unfolding lore — uncover the tragedy of Aethra through environmental storytelling, fallen journals, and conversations with those who still endure
    • Optimised for Switch 2 — crisp visuals, fluid performance, and intuitive controls built from the ground up for Nintendo’s next-generation system

    Rise as the First Guardian

    The game earns its name for a reason: you are the first of a new line. How you carry the burden — who you trust, who you save, and how you wield the Relic — will define the legacy left to those who come after. Your choices echo through the story, shaping the world and the ending you receive.

    “The Relic does not make you a hero. What you do with it does.”

    Launching October 9, 2026 — available digitally via Nintendo eShop, with a physical edition also arriving at participating retailers. Pre-orders are live now, including a limited Guardian’s Pack with exclusive armour sets, in-game consumables, and a digital artbook preview.

    Quick Details

    • Title: The Relic: First Guardian
    • Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
    • Release Date: October 9, 2026
    • Genre: Dark Fantasy Action RPG
    • Players: Single-player

    The Blight waits for no one. Sharpen your blade, steel your heart, and step into the light — Aethra needs you.

  • Cards, Cheats & Chains — The Devil’s Due Lets You Hustle Your Way Out of Hell!

    Cards, Cheats & Chains — The Devil’s Due Lets You Hustle Your Way Out of Hell!

    Poker punks, roguelite rogues, card-counters and sinners of all suits — listen up. There’s a game where you don’t just bend the rules — you break them, swap them, stack the deck, and grin while the demons glare. The Devil’s Due from Norwegian indie studio Games People Play is the infernal card-duelling roguelite where cheating isn’t just allowed — it’s absolutely encouraged.

    The Deal: Your Soul Is Staked

    The story starts simple: you sat down at the wrong table, bet what you shouldn’t have, and lost your soul to the Devil himself. Now the only way out is through — seven layers of Hell, one heads-up poker duel at a time, facing grotesque foes born from the seven deadly sins. Win, and you climb closer to freedom. Lose, and you’re theirs forever.

    But this isn’t polite club poker. There are no referees, no guards, and absolutely no honour among thieves — or demons.

    How You Play — And How You Cheat

    Every encounter is a one-on-one card duel against a fiend with unique abilities and a mean streak a mile wide:

    • Your hand = your damage — the stronger your poker ranking, the harder you hit
    • Card values = your defence — add up the face values to block incoming blows
    • Suspicion is the catch — every trick you pull raises your foe’s eyebrow. Push it too far, and they snap, unleashing devastating fury

    Your real power lies in the cheat system — an expanding toolkit of tricks you unlock and upgrade across runs:

    • Conceal cards from view
    • Swap cards between hands mid-play
    • Inflate values to turn scraps into aces
    • Sabotage the enemy’s draw
    • Manipulate the shared deck — everything you do affects both sides of the table

    That last twist is the sharpest edge: you and your opponent draw from the same deck. Add a powerhouse card and you might see it turned against you. Build combos that shine for you — and burn for them.

    Tarot, Relics & Redemption

    No two runs play the same. At the start of each layer, the Devil lays out a tarot map — paths through monster fights, shops, healing shrines, and risky gambles. You can even cheat the map itself, twisting fate to pick your own route.

    Fall, and you don’t return empty-handed. Permanent upgrades, new cheat cards, and rare relics persist across runs, so every loss leaves you sharper, sneakier, and better equipped to out-hustle Hell itself.

    What’s On the Table

    • Developer: Games People Play (Norway)
    • Release: November 10, 2026 — Steam
    • Demo: Available now — includes four of the seven infernal layers
    • Style: Playful, sharply written, visually inspired by classic mischief and mayhem — think cards, chaos, and colourful damnation
    • Tone: Wicked, witty, and welcoming — bluffers welcome, saints stay home

    “Fair play is for people with nothing to lose. You don’t have a soul to spare — so cheat well, cheat smart, and cheat together.”

    Wishlist The Devil’s Due on Steam, grab the demo, and start practising your innocent face. Hell’s waiting — and it’s dealing.

  • Speed, Sparks & Survival — FIRESTARTERS Ignites Early Access October 28!

    Speed, Sparks & Survival — FIRESTARTERS Ignites Early Access October 28!

    Strap on your skates, lock and load — and prepare to burn bright. Independent developer Studio Kerosene has officially announced that their blisteringly fast movement shooter FIRESTARTERS will launch into Early Access on Steam on October 28, 2026, kicking off with Episode 1 of 4 — and every remaining episode arrives as a free update throughout the Early Access journey.

    What Is FIRESTARTERS?

    FIRESTARTERS is a lightning-quick arcade movement FPS that fuses high-speed traversal, hard-hitting combat, and gripping narrative into one white-hot package. Described by Rock Paper Shotgun as “a bit like Quake, a bit like Rollerdrome, and looks genuinely fun”, it puts you in the jet-powered boots of Kera, an ex-street kid from Okinawa caught up in STEEL — a brutal, globally broadcast gladiator league run by a shadowy criminal syndicate.

    Equipped with a reinforced combat suit and rocket skates, Kera doesn’t just run — she flows. Glide across curved surfaces, grind along rails, chain slides into boosts, and turn every arena into your own personal racetrack — all while laying waste to waves of murderous android opponents.

    • Fluid, momentum-driven movement — maintain speed, build momentum, and never stop moving
    • Aggressive, responsive combat — a deadly arsenal at your fingertips; close the gap or strike from above
    • Story-rich campaign — four episodes charting Kera’s fight for freedom and the truth behind the league
    • Leaderboards & replayability — master each arena, shave seconds off your time, and climb global ranks
    • Free content roadmap — Episodes 2–4 arrive at no extra cost as the game evolves in Early Access

    The Road Ahead — Four Episodes, Zero Extra Cost

    Launch day brings Episode 1, introducing Kera, the Firestarters team, and the deadly spectacle of the STEEL arena. The remaining three episodes will roll out progressively during Early Access — completely free to all owners — so no one gets left behind as the story expands.

    “There’s no catch — buy the game once, get the full story as it unfolds.”

    Studio Kerosene plans to keep FIRESTARTERS in Early Access for roughly 12–18 months, refining gameplay, balancing weapons, and polishing every chapter alongside the community. Player feedback will directly shape Episode 2 and beyond.

    Demo Available Now

    You don’t have to wait until October 28 to feel the heat. A playable demo is already live on Steam, letting you dive straight into the action and experience FIRESTARTERS’ signature speed and style ahead of launch.

    Key Details

    • Developer: Studio Kerosene
    • Release: Early Access — October 28, 2026 (Steam)
    • Content: Episode 1 at launch; Episodes 2–4 as free updates
    • Price: To be confirmed — wishlist now to be notified
    • Demo: Available immediately via Steam store page

  • Robots, Rivalries & Rampant Fungi — Dream Team Supreme Unleashes Major Demo Update!

    Robots, Rivalries & Rampant Fungi — Dream Team Supreme Unleashes Major Demo Update!

    Ready to pilot a giant robot, save the world, and take down monsters straight from a Saturday morning cartoon? Developer Big Adventure has just supercharged the playable demo for Dream Team Supreme — their vibrant co-op kaiju-battling deckbuilder — with not one, but two formidable new foes to face: Bushido Beetle and the terrifying King Mycol.

    What Is Dream Team Supreme?

    Dream Team Supreme casts you and a partner (or solo, if you prefer) as scientists piloting Super Supreme, a colossal two-headed robot built to defend Earth against a bizarre invasion of rampaging monsters. It’s a roguelike deckbuilder with a difference — instead of one deck, you build two, one for each pilot, and success depends on finding powerful synergies between your cards and your partner’s.

    • Pilot together — 1–2 player co-op or solo play
    • Dual-deck strategy — combine cartridges, plan your turn order, and chain devastating combos
    • Momentum mechanic — unused blocks convert into momentum, powering up your opening attack next round
    • Comic-book visuals — colourful, bold art style inspired by classic animation
    • Endlessly replayable — procedural maps, unlockable content, and hundreds of deck combinations

    Two New Kaiju Enter the Fray

    The freshly updated demo — version 0.23 — introduces two brand-new boss encounters, each with their own deadly tricks and distinct playstyles:

    Bushido Beetle

    A towering insect warrior that grows stronger as the fight drags on. The longer the battle lasts, the more dangerous it becomes — pressuring you to end things fast before its power peaks. Speed and precision are your only shields against this rising threat.

    King Mycol

    A furious fungal overlord that spreads spores to poison your systems and drain your strength. He doesn’t just hit hard — he weakens your ability to fight back. You’ll need to keep pace with his spreading toxins while maintaining your offensive pressure.

    Even More New Content

    The update doesn’t stop at monsters. Demo 0.23 also packs:

    • Two new playable scientists — fresh pilots with unique decks and abilities
    • 25 new mods — equip Super Supreme with game-changing upgrades between runs
    • New levels, locations & choices — expanded map with branching paths and strategic decisions
    • Co-op quality-of-life — see your partner’s cursor and card movements in real time
    • Visual & UI polish — clearer card distinctions, mod activation indicators, and enhanced animations

    What Lies Ahead

    The updated demo is available right now on Steam — free to download and play. The full release of Dream Team Supreme is targeted for Q1 2027, landing on PC and consoles. Big Adventure has emphasised that player feedback throughout the demo period will directly shape the final game, with regular updates and community discussions taking place via their Discord.

    “Two heads are better than one — especially when they’re both piloting a giant robot.”

    Wishlist Dream Team Supreme on Steam today, download the demo, and team up to take down Bushido Beetle and King Mycol before launch. The world needs saving — and science is on the case!

  • Broken Heroes, Depths & Destiny — Annihilated Arrives November 10!

    Broken Heroes, Depths & Destiny — Annihilated Arrives November 10!

    What do you do when the heroes fall — and only you remain?

    Independent developer Death Kumiai and publisher Flashlight Games have officially announced that Annihilated, their haunting story-driven roguelite RPG, will launch on November 10, 2026, exclusively on Steam.

    What Is Annihilated?

    Annihilated isn’t your typical dungeon crawler. You step into the boots of the sole survivor of a rescue party sent deep into a cursed underworld — only to find the legendary hero’s party completely wiped out. Every single one of them broken, defeated, and abandoned in the dark.

    But they aren’t gone entirely. You can carry one of the four fallen heroes back out. Each survivor carries scars, secrets, regrets, and a unique path to redemption — or reckoning.

    • Four heroes, four distinct routes — no two journeys are the same
    • Deep, emotional storytelling that digs into why they fell — and what they owe
    • Roguelite exploration & turn-based card combat — build your deck, survive the depths, face what lurks below
    • A haunting blend of dark fantasy and heartfelt narrative — where every choice weighs heavy

    A Long-Awaited Return

    Originally slated for release in July, the game was delayed to polish every corner of the experience — and the wait has only built the anticipation. Annihilated has already surged past 150,000 wishlists on Steam, proving players are ready to descend.

    A new playable demo is also on the way, letting you venture as far as the first major boss — The Outcast — with all four heroes available to try.

    Launch Details

    • Platform: PC (Steam)
    • Release Date: November 10, 2026
    • Price: £14.99 / $16.99 — with a 10% launch discount for the first two weeks
    • Languages: English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese

    “Every hero has a breaking point. This is the story of what happens after.”

    Ready to descend? You can wishlist Annihilated now on Steam — and prepare to carry someone home.

  • Count, Clarity & Chaos — Sheeps Turn Sheep-Counting Into a Roguelike Thriller!

    Count, Clarity & Chaos — Sheeps Turn Sheep-Counting Into a Roguelike Thriller!

    Forget everything you know about counting sheep — this won’t put you to sleep. Brainfruit Studio has today unveiled Sheeps, a one-of-a-kind high-resolution pixel art roguelike that transforms the drowsy bedtime pastime into a razor-sharp, ever-escalating challenge that will keep you wide awake.

    What on Earth Is Sheeps?

    At first glance, it sounds simple: watch the sheep pass by, keep count, and report the right number. But this is no ordinary meadow — and these are no ordinary sheep:

    • Waves of woolly chaos — flocks pour through from a mysterious, otherworldly rift, and they don’t just walk in straight lines
    • Difficulty that ramps up fast — sheep change speed, loop back, split into groups, vanish, or appear in unexpected places. The better you get, the harder the game pushes back
    • Health, upgrades & curses — get the count wrong and you lose ground; succeed and unlock permanent boosts, helpful effects, and occasionally… deeply unfair twists that keep every run fresh
    • Endless replayability — no two flocks behave the same way, and your build evolves differently every time you play

    Where Do All the Sheep Come From?

    There’s a story beneath the fleecy surface. As you count, you’ll uncover the mystery of the rift itself — why it opened, who or what is behind it, and whether there’s any way to close it. Along the way you’ll meet a colourful cast:

    • A crafty spider
    • A sarcastic crow
    • A dye-obsessed chameleon
    • More than a few business-minded llamas — help is available, but it never comes free

    These characters have their own secrets, motives, and stories — crafted by artist Garrett Miller and Emmy-winning writer Rob Dubbin (The Colbert Report, The Late Show). Expect charm, humour, and something genuinely strange unfolding beneath the pastoral visuals.

    Release Details

    • Developer: Brainfruit Studio
    • Release: 2027
    • Platforms: PC, Mac & SteamOS — available via Steam
    • Add to Wishlist: Live now on Steam
    • Soundtrack: From calming lullabies to frantic breakbeats, the music shifts right along with the chaos

    The game also supports local co-op — bring a friend to help count, or compete to see who stays sharpest when the flock swells.

    The Pitch

    “Think of all the hours you’ve wasted trying to fall asleep. We’ve fixed that — now counting sheep will keep you awake instead.”

    — Brainfruit Studio

    Sheeps is coming in 2027. Start practising now — you’re going to need it.

    From Backyard to Banquet

    Start with nothing but a plot of land, a handful of seeds, and a dream:

    • Grow your own — plant seasons of produce, nurture orchards, and raise healthy animals
    • Cook from scratch — harvest ingredients straight to your kitchen and craft menus that draw crowds
    • Build and beautify — design your restaurant, expand rooms, and decorate to attract higher-paying guests
    • Hire and manage — bring on chefs, waiters, and farmhands to keep things running smoothly
    • Build your reputation — turn a humble family spot into the most talked-about destination in the hills

    Plague, Progress, and Packs — I Am Plague Revealed & Open Playtest Begins!

    You’re not the hero — you’re the swarm. Publisher Digital Vortex (creators of DREADMOOR and Tiny Eden) and developer Greedy Games have officially unveiled I Am Plague, a dark incremental roguelite where you lead a growing mischief of rats up through a sprawling, deadly underground fortress. The open playtest is live right now — running October 5 through 19 — free on Steam.

    Rise as the Rat King

    For centuries, your colony has lived hidden beneath humanity’s grand capital. Now you surge upward — thousands of rats with a single hivemind — fighting through 200+ dungeon floors toward the surface. Soldiers, priests, alchemists, and worse stand in your path. You don’t just survive — you devour.

    Combat unfolds automatically, so every run is defined by your choices:

    • Pick mutations — one from three offered each floor — stacking effects into devastating synergies
    • Harvest flesh and bones from fallen foes to fuel your colony’s permanent growth
    • Equip Visages — enemy skulls that grant distinct classes and radically change your swarm’s playstyle
    • Explore branching paths, shops, and text events across the fortress

    Death Makes You Stronger

    Fall, and you return to the lair — but never empty-handed. Offer what you’ve gathered to the Tree of Flesh and Tree of Bones to boost base stats, unlock rare mutations, and open new possibilities for every run that follows. Progress is forever — the swarm only grows deadlier.

    Play Now — Through October 19

    The open playtest is available free right now on Steam. Dive in, experiment with builds, help shape the game — and show humanity exactly what a plague of rats can become. Full release is planned for 2027.

    Don’t wait too long — the playtest scurries away on October 19.
