  • OUTWIT THE DEMON, CRAFT THE STONE — CORPUS ET SPIRITUS LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    OUTWIT THE DEMON, CRAFT THE STONE — CORPUS ET SPIRITUS LAUNCHES ON STEAM

    The pact is sealed. Your life is the price. Alchemy is your only escape.

    You dreamed of mastery — of unlocking the ancient secrets of the Philosopher’s Stone. Desperate for power, you struck a bargain with a Homunculus: a demon that grants you knowledge beyond measure… in exchange for your life force. Every step of the way, your “partner” grows stronger — and you fade weaker. Your only hope? Outsmart it. Craft the legendary Stone. Break the pact before it consumes you.

    This is the gripping premise of Corpus et Spiritus — the all-new alchemy roguelite deckbuilder from Arpentor Studio and Firesquid, live on Steam right now.

    How you play — no swords, just wits

    Unlike most deckbuilders, there are no monsters to slay and no enemies to battle directly. Your only opponent is the pact itself — and the cunning entity feeding on you.

    • Gather rare metals — collect resources across runs, each with unique properties
    • Craft in your workshop — transmute metals into cards and talismans. What you put in shapes what you get out
    • Seven card families — Body, Mind, and Soul branches offer distinct playstyles to master
    • Balance three vital resources — Health, Wits, and Stamina. Let any drop too low, and the Homunculus claims you
    • Negotiate with the demon — trade life force for powerful boons, or refuse and face its wrath. Every run begins with a custom pact you design yourself
    • Discover the Philosopher’s Stone — piece together the ultimate recipe through experimentation, then use it to sever your bond and survive

    Hand-drawn beauty with depth to match

  • YOUR PEN IS YOUR WEAPON — DEATH AT FLEMING MANOR LAUNCHES ON STEAM, BACKED BY 120,000+ WISHLIST INVESTIGATORS

    YOUR PEN IS YOUR WEAPON — DEATH AT FLEMING MANOR LAUNCHES ON STEAM, BACKED BY 120,000+ WISHLIST INVESTIGATORS

    The case is open — and the world is watching

    Investigators, report for duty. Death at Fleming Manor — the forensic mystery adventure from indie studio SUPERTHUMb — is officially live on Steam. And the reception has been extraordinary: more than 120,000 players added the game to their wishlist ahead of launch, making it one of the most anticipated detective titles of the year.

    Set in 1959 at a secluded country estate outside London, this is not a game of chasing suspects or spotting jump scares. Your job is to write the death certificate. And every word matters.

    How you solve the case — no hand-holding, pure deduction

    When a series of unexplained deaths strikes Fleming Manor, you arrive as the investigating officer. There are no glowing clues, no automatic correct answers, and no one to tell you if you’re right until you submit your findings:

    • Examine the scene — freeze-frame locations rendered in stunning hand-drawn Ligne Claire artwork, inspired by 1960s European mystery comics
    • Study the evidence — inspect bodies, surroundings, and statements to determine identity, cause of death, and manner of death: accident, suicide, or murder
    • File the official report — complete death certificates and emergency reports with precise details. Get it wrong, and the case stays unresolved
    • Connect the dots — residents may be hiding things. Every discrepancy is a thread to pull until the full picture emerges

    The game draws favourable comparisons to beloved deduction titles Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol, but carves its own niche with its forensic focus: documentation is the gameplay.

    Why the buzz? — A labour of love from day one

    SUPERTHUMb, the indie studio behind the project, has shared every step of the journey publicly:

    • 100% hand-drawn — no generative AI used; the team has published behind-the-scenes videos showing their Clip Studio Paint workflow
    • Period-perfect atmosphere — original score evokes classic British detective dramas
    • Fully localised — interface and subtitles in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean
    • Play at your own pace — no quick-time events; accessible input options including mouse-only and touch support
    • Free demo available — featuring the prologue and first chapter, with Very Positive reviews from players who’ve tried it

  • TO THE STARS, COMRADES — WORKERS & RESOURCES BLOW PAST 1M SALES AND LAUNCH SPACE PROGRAM DLC NOV 23

    TO THE STARS, COMRADES — WORKERS & RESOURCES BLOW PAST 1M SALES AND LAUNCH SPACE PROGRAM DLC NOV 23

    From the steppes to the stars

    For years you’ve built power stations, laid railways, managed supply chains, and forged a thriving socialist republic. Now the horizon stretches further than ever — all the way to the cosmos.

    Hooded Horse and developer 3DIVISION have announced that the award-winning, hyper-detailed city-builder Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is expanding beyond Earth. The brand-new Space Program DLC lands 23 November 2026 — and the celebration is doubly sweet: the base game has officially passed 1 million sales worldwide.

    This is more than a new map or a few extra buildings. It is a complete, endgame-scale overhaul that turns your industrial powerhouse into a cosmic superpower — inspired by the real Soviet space race, from Sputnik 1 through the Vostok programme and beyond.

    Build a space programme from the ground up

    Rockets don’t just appear — they are the result of an entire nation working in unison. Every component, every fuel tank, every circuit board must be manufactured, transported, assembled, and tested before it ever reaches the launchpad:

    • Research & Development — Universities design blueprints and unlock new technologies; progress is steady but requires serious investment
    • New Industries — Specialised electronics, advanced alloys, synthetic fabrics, and precision machinery — all built in new production chains
    • Propellant Production — Manufacture the exotic fuels and cryogenic liquids needed to break free of gravity
    • Logistics on a grand scale — Move massive rocket sections by rail and road from factories to assembly halls, then to purpose-built launch complexes
    • Launch & Orbit — Send satellites, probes, and crewed missions into space — and reap the scientific and strategic rewards

    A 1960s campaign — focus on the future

    The expansion includes a dedicated narrative campaign set in the 1960s, designed to let you master these new systems without the usual early-game struggle. Your republic is already prosperous, stable, and well-developed — so you can pour your full energy into one historic, glorious goal: getting humanity into space.

    Why this matters — 1 million players and counting

    Crossing the 1 million sales mark is no small achievement for a deeply specialised, complex strategy title. Workers & Resources has earned its following the hard way: through meticulous detail, authentic economic simulation, and a refusal to simplify. Players don’t just place buildings — they manage the flow of resources, the education of the workforce, the balance of domestic production versus foreign trade, and the heartbeat of an entire nation.

    That depth has struck a chord. And now, with Space Program, the team at 3DIVISION is delivering exactly what the community has been asking for — a fitting, spectacular conclusion to the republic’s journey.

  • FACE YOUR DEMONS, FIND YOURSELF — SARAAB: BEYOND THE VEIL BRINGS ARABIAN FOLKLORE & HEALING HORROR TO STEAM

    FACE YOUR DEMONS, FIND YOURSELF — SARAAB: BEYOND THE VEIL BRINGS ARABIAN FOLKLORE & HEALING HORROR TO STEAM

    The search for her brother becomes a journey into her own soul

    When Elham “Elly” discovers her younger brother Adam has vanished, she is pulled into a world she never knew existed — one where family secrets, ancient spirits, and the wounds she has spent a lifetime burying rise to meet her. Guided by a mysterious being and stalked by a shadow that mirrors her own fears, Elham must awaken a dormant light within herself to uncover the truth: to save him, she must first face everything she has been running from.

    This is the heart of Saraab: Beyond The Veil — the debut release from solo developer Rooted Elevation, founded by Lubna Ahmed and based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is a psychological horror visual novel where the monsters are as much grief, self?doubt, and unresolved pain as they are djinn and folklore entities — and every choice shapes who Elham becomes.

    Horror with heart — rooted in culture, speaking to everyone

    Saraab draws deeply from Arabian folklore, weaving djinn and region?specific mythology into every encounter — but its core themes are universal. This is a story about healing: about self?worth, sorrow, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to look inward.

    • Hand?drawn anime?style visuals — luminous, expressive, and haunting
    • Meaningful choices — your decisions lead to three distinct endings, unlocking new powers and different paths
    • Djinn Encyclopedia — uncover the lore behind the spirits you encounter
    • Dyslexia?friendly Atkinson Hyperlegible font — designed for easier, more comfortable reading
    • Fully voiced in English with subtitles — immersive and accessible
    • Demo available in 8 languages — English, Arabic, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, and more
    • Original soundtrack bundle also available — 40% off as part of launch pricing

    The developer’s vision — one voice, one story

    Saraab is the work of a single creator, Lubna Ahmed, trading under the name Rooted Elevation. Her goal is clear: to bring stories and perspectives rarely seen in mainstream games to the fore, grounding supernatural horror in deeply human, relatable emotion.

    “Every encounter, whether with dark entities or pieces of her own psyche, brings her closer to the truth about Adam and about who she really is.”

    The result is a slow?burn, atmospheric experience — not one defined by jump scares or graphic violence, but by emotional weight, introspection, and the tension of standing at the edge of change.

    DERELICT, DANGEROUS, AND DYING TO PLAY — INFESTED DX LANDS ON STEAM WITH COSMIC HORROR, RETRO VIBES, AND LAUNCH DISCOUNT

    Waking up where no one survives

    You open your eyes aboard the 5-Alpha space station, a once-bustling outpost now silent, shadowed, and utterly desolate. You are the sole survivor of an expedition gone catastrophically wrong — and you’re already infected. Something ancient and alien has consumed your crew, corrupted the decks, and turned every corridor into a death trap. Your mission is simple but brutal: find a cure, chart a path home, and uncover the nightmare that ended everyone else.

    This is the heart of Infested DX, the retro sci-fi horror point-and-click adventure from solo developer Jeff Canam — known creatively as GrahfMetal — and publisher Komi Games, now available worldwide on Steam.

    From 8-bit origins to 16-bit dread

    Infested DX is far more than a re-release. It is a complete, ground-up rebuild of Canam’s 2016 indie title Infested, originally launched in 8-bit form on itch.io. Every element has been expanded and enhanced:

    • 16-bit pixel art — richer, darker, and more atmospheric than the original
    • Brand-new areas to explore, never seen in the 2016 version
    • Reworked and deeper puzzles — high-stakes, unforgiving, and rewarding
    • Expanded story and lore — more clues, more secrets, more horror
    • Full controller support + quicksave system
    • Accessibility options — modern quality-of-life improvements throughout

    Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary MacVenture classics — Shadowgate and Déjà Vu — the game leans into the tradition of consequence-heavy exploration: you will die. Often. But you’ll learn, experiment, and push forward, with quicksaves ensuring you never lose meaningful progress.

    Every room holds a clue — or a corpse. Every puzzle could be your salvation or your end. The station is vast, hostile, and hiding a terrible truth about the planet designated Pink Behemoth and what lies beneath its surface.

    Developer’s pedigree

    Jeff Canam is no stranger to this genre. As GrahfMetal, he returned to the roots of classic adventure gaming with Beyond Shadowgate in 2024, earning respect from players and critics for honouring the past while moving the format forward. With Infested DX, he brings that same passion to his own creation — refining a project he first shared nearly a decade ago into the definitive version it was always meant to be.

    Grab it before the price rises

    The launch discount is active now through 17 November 2026, after which the price returns to $9.99 USD. If you crave atmospheric, challenging adventure that harks back to the golden age of point-and-click while carving out its own chilling niche in deep space, Infested DX belongs in your library.

    SPEAK OF THE DEVIL — DEVIL CONNECTION GOES GLOBAL WITH ENGLISH & CHINESE SUPPORT PLUS 1ST ANNIVERSARY SALE!

    PLAYISM & ChaoGames unlock the adventure for worldwide players — and there’s a brand-new scenario to celebrate

    Something delightful has been brewing in the shadows. Publisher PLAYISM and Japanese indie team ChaoGames, led by creator Bayachao, have officially unveiled a major milestone update for their charming, cheeky adventure Devil Connection: English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese language support are now live, opening the gates for players around the globe to join the fun. And to mark the game’s first anniversary on Steam, a celebratory sale is underway.

    What Is Devil Connection?

    Described as a “devilishly cheeky adventure game,” Devil Connection casts you as a summoner who forges pacts with a colourful cast of over 30 distinct, fully animated characters — each with their own lively expressions, unique personalities, and… playful reactions when you interact with them. It’s a whimsical journey through a fantastical, sometimes darkly gothic world, set to an enchanting original soundtrack that perfectly matches its magical atmosphere.

    Originally launching in Japanese on Steam back in October 2025, the game has already won over more than 30,000 players worldwide with its distinctive art style, endearing cast, and the kind of unapologetic, playful charm that only an indie passion project can deliver.

    What’s In the Update?

    This isn’t just a translation pass — it’s a full anniversary package:

    • English, Simplified Chinese & Traditional Chinese — all interface, subtitles, and text now localised
    • Brand-new anniversary scenario — extra story content added to mark the occasion, free for all owners
    • 10% off on Steam — first-anniversary sale running now through 6 November 2026
    • Note when switching languages — playthrough counts and ending collection status carry over, but text display quirks may occur when loading cross-language saves; starting a fresh playthrough is recommended for the smoothest experience

    Coming Soon to Even More Platforms

    The adventure doesn’t stop there. Devil Connection is set to spread further — Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android versions are scheduled to launch 21 January 2027, bringing the game to handheld and mobile players everywhere.

    Why It’s Worth Your Time

    Devil Connection stands out in a crowded field:

    • Hand-drawn art that bursts with personality and expressiveness
    • A lighthearted yet heartfelt story with depth beneath its mischievous exterior
    • 30+ summonable allies, each with their own quirks and interactions
    • A gorgeous original soundtrack that complements every scene
    • Pure, unfiltered indie creativity — the vision of Bayachao and ChaoGames, shaped directly by player feedback over its first year

    Ready to Make a Pact?

    The wait is over — summoners from London to Los Angeles, Beijing to beyond can now step into the world of Devil Connection. Grab it on Steam while the anniversary discount lasts, and keep an eye out for those early 2027 platform releases.

    Just remember: when you make a deal with a devil… they might just be the most delightful friend you ever make.

  • Strike the Chord — Alpha Nomos Hits the Beat in Full Launch

    Strike the Chord — Alpha Nomos Hits the Beat in Full Launch

    The rhythm never stops. Independent studio RibCage Games has officially unleashed Alpha Nomos, their pulse-pounding rhythm-action roguelite, across Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — with a 10% launch discount live now on Steam for the first seven days.

    What Is Alpha Nomos?

    Music isn’t just the soundtrack — it’s the law. In a world warped by melody and overrun by corrupted puppets, you play as Cello, a lone warrior fighting to restore harmony. Every swing, dodge, and ability must land on the beat to unleash maximum impact. Miss the rhythm, and you leave yourself wide open.

    “The music is the law of the world. Strike in time, and the world bends to your will.” — RibCage Games

    This isn’t just a rhythm game — it’s a hack-and-slash roguelite where timing is your sharpest weapon.

    Combat — Feel the Beat, Be the Beat

    MechanicWhat It Means
    Beat-Tied CombatAttacks, dodges, and special abilities gain power when timed perfectly to the music
    Chain CombosString perfect beats together to unleash devastating finishers
    Adjustable Timing WindowsTailor the rhythm tolerance to your skill level — welcoming for newcomers, tight for veterans
    Procedural RunsNo two playthroughs are identical — rooms, foes, and rewards shift every time you fall
    Melodic ProgressionChoose new abilities and boons between battles — build a style that sings

    The World — Puppets, Decay & Harmony

    Cello journeys through a once-beautiful realm now twisted into dissonance — where corrupted puppets dance to a broken tune. Each run takes you deeper into this fractured world, facing:

    • Twisted Puppet Foes — Each enemy type attacks with distinct rhythmic patterns to learn and counter
    • Melodic Zones — Biomes shaped by musical genres, each with its own signature soundtrack and visual flair
    • Permanent Upgrades — Even in defeat, carry progress forward to grow stronger for the next performance

    Why It Stands Out

    Alpha Nomos bridges the gap between rhythm games and action roguelites — two worlds that rarely collide this smoothly. It captures the kinetic energy of Hi-Fi RUSH with the replayable, rewarding structure of a modern roguelite — where every run is a fresh chance to master the tempo.

    Most importantly, it respects all skill levels: generous timing options mean music-game newcomers can still enjoy the ride, while beat-chasing purists can narrow the window for maximum challenge.

    “Pick up your instrument. The show must go on.”

Grab your guitar — it’s time to save the school.

    The Principal of Evil Has Arrived

    It’s the 1980s at Cloudydale High, and a cursed cassette tape has awakened Pomodore 64 — a sentient, malevolent computer with plans to conquer the town… and then the world. Leading an army of aliens, dinosaurs, zombies, and mole men, this 8-bit tyrant has taken over the school.

    Standing in his way: Blueberry Finn, a scrappy alt-rock trio made up of Hank, Duck, and Alex.

    Bytes, Bands, and Bad Guys — Escape from 8-Bit High Blasts onto Steam and GOG!

    Class is in session — but so is chaos. Publisher Dionous Games and developer Duck Made Of Wood are thrilled to announce that Escape from 8-Bit High, the tongue-in-cheek retro point-and-click adventure, is out right now on Steam and GOG for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Grab your guitar — it’s time to save the school, and maybe the world.

    Meet Blueberry Finn — Your Heroes in Faded Denim

    Something has gone deeply, digitally wrong at Cloudydale High. A mysterious cursed cassette has awakened the Evil Pomodore 64 — a sentient, power-hungry AI with a serious grudge — and it’s unleashed an army of 8-bit villains: aliens, mole people, dinosaurs, and zombies. Standing in its way? Blueberry Finn, a scrappy alt-rock trio made up of Hank, Duck, and Alex. Three friends, three wildly different paths, one epic story.

    Three Adventures, One Big Story

    Play the three bandmates in any order and switch between them freely as their journeys converge:

    • Hank — uncovers Cloudydale High’s darkest secrets while battling zombies, ghosts, and vampires
    • Duck — blasts into the cosmos to fight the menacing Kelad Empire and stop an interstellar pandemic
    • Alex — digs deep toward the Earth’s core, encountering mutants, Amazons, and the lost city of Atlantis

    Rock the System — Music Battle Combat

    Puzzles meet performance in the game’s signature Music Battle System, an arcade-style rhythm mechanic that turns every showdown into a concert. And don’t sweat the beat — an easy rhythm mode means everyone can rock out, regardless of reflexes. Your choices also shape the story — alternate paths, different outcomes, and a finale that depends on everything you’ve done.

    Launch Deal — 15% Off Through October 13

    The full game offers 8–10 hours of retro charm, puzzles, and rock-and-roll heart. Dive in risk-free:

    • Free demo available right now on Steam
    • 15% launch discount live on both Steam and GOG through October 13, 2026
    • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux

    The bell has rung — detention is over, and the adventure begins. Will you ace the test, or will the Pomodore 64 rewrite history?

  • Tanks, Rivers, and Cruise Control — Call to Arms: Panzer Elite Rolls Out Major Update!

    Tanks, Rivers, and Cruise Control — Call to Arms: Panzer Elite Rolls Out Major Update!

    What do a brand-new Sherman, a heavily defended river crossing, and a W key that’s finally getting some rest have in common? They’re all part of today’s Call to Arms: Panzer Elite update! And if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to join the fight, consider this your sign — the game is 50% off on Steam starting right now.

    Fresh Steel — The M4A1 “Late Sherman” Arrives

    The Allied arsenal expands with the M4A1 (75) “Late Sherman”, a brand-new battle-ready variant packing a 75mm main gun, fully detailed crew animations, authentic vehicle effects, and distinctive audio. It’s not just a new tank — it’s a period-accurate addition that also replaces the M4A3 in German campaign missions set before September 1944, making every front line feel historically faithful.

    Amblève River — A Crossing Under Fire

    Commanders get a tense new US Conquest mission: Amblève River. German forces have occupied Remouchamps and cut you off from the main Allied army across the water. One intact bridge remains — but the enemy knows it, too. Locate it, storm the defences, and secure the crossing before the route is sealed. Expect dug-in positions, heavy resistance, and high-stakes tactical decision-making.

    Cruise Control — Your W Key Thanks You

    No more holding the pedal down mile after mile — cruise control is here! Set your speed, relax your fingers, and focus on what matters: scanning the horizon, plotting your manoeuvres, and leading your platoon. The update also brings smarter AI navigation, smoother infantry movement, HUD customisation, controller improvements, and a host of polish and performance boosts.

    HALF PRICE — The Time to Enlist Is Now

    Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is 50% off on Steam starting today. Whether you’re a veteran returning to the front or a new recruit ready to take command, there’s never been a better time to join the battlefield.

    Engage your engines — the front line is waiting.
