    Solve the Lies Alone — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Out Now on Steam

    Who needs a crowded voice chat or a late-night board game? The truth is yours to uncover — all on your own.

    Independent developer Gilded Rune Games and publisher Yogscast Games are thrilled to announce that Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction is available right now for PC and Mac via Steam, officially launching 15 October 2026.

    Deception Doesn’t Need a Crowd

    Dupery takes the social deduction genre — think Among Us or classic mystery parties — and reimagines it entirely for single players. No more waiting for friends, no more unreliable allies, no more arguing over who’s telling the truth at 2 a.m. You are the detective, the jury, and the investigator — and every suspect is lying to your face.

    You’re up against the Syndicate — a sprawling criminal network embedded across three distinct regions. Your job? Sift through statements, spot contradictions, and identify who’s truly innocent… and who’s secretly working against you.

    What Makes Dupery Unique

    • 175+ handcrafted roles — from innocent townsfolk to hidden Underlings and treacherous Traitors, every case brings fresh faces and fresh lies
    • Three distinct regions — each with its own mechanics, quirks, and challenges; master them all before facing the Syndicate mastermind
    • Procedurally generated cases — no two investigations play exactly the same; every run offers new puzzles to untangle
    • Build your own crime board — use the in-game notation toolkit to map out suspects, flag inconsistencies, and track your leads
    • Protect your reputation — make the wrong arrest and public trust falls; get it right and doors open wider
    • Roguelite progression — unlock new abilities, quirks, and smarter investigative tools as you close cases and advance

    From Bristol to Your Screen

    Hailing from Bristol, UK, Gilded Rune Games is a small independent studio whose work on Dupery caught fire during the Tiny Teams Festival, where its demo earned glowing praise and a rapidly growing community. An interactive pre-launch ARG campaign even saw players collaborating to decode clues and unlock launch discounts ahead of release.

    Ready to Crack the Case?

    Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction is available now on Steam for PC and Mac. System requirements are light — just Windows 10 or later, a dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM, and 1 GB storage — so nearly anyone can step into the detective’s chair.

    Head to the Dupery Steam Store Page to pick it up, and remember: in this game, everyone’s a suspect until proven otherwise.

    The truth is waiting — but so are the lies. Will you see through them?

  • Clues, Contradictions & Crime — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Launches October 15!

    Clues, Contradictions & Crime — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Launches October 15!

    Publisher Yogscast Games and Bristol-based indie developer Gilded Rune Games have officially announced that Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction — the genre-bending single-player social deduction roguelite — arrives on SteamThursday 15 October 2026, with a 20% launch discount available at release.

    What Is Dupery? — Everyone Is a Suspect. Most Are Lying.

    Social deduction games usually need a group of friends — one of whom is definitely lying. Dupery brings that tension entirely to single-player. You’re a detective in a noir city infiltrated by a criminal syndicate. Every case drops you into a grid of suspects who make statements — but Innocents tell the truth, Underlings lie, Traitors deceive, and Meddlers muddle the facts. Compare statements, spot contradictions, and arrest the guilty — but get it wrong, and your reputation tanks. Too many mistakes, and you’re fired.

    The Core Hook

    • 175+ handcrafted roles across four categories: Innocent, Meddler, Underling, Traitor
    • Procedurally generated cases — no two investigations play the same way
    • Reputation system — preserve your standing; wrongful arrests cost you progress
    • 3 distinct regions — each with unique mechanics, quirks, and dedicated role pools
    • In-game notation toolkit — build your own crime board, track alibis, and mark contradictions
    • Roguelite structure — fail, reset, learn patterns, and take down the syndicate one case at a time

    Why It Stands Out

    Social deduction is traditionally a multiplayer space — Among Us, Secret Hitler, Town of Salem. Dupery is the first to fully translate that suspicion-and-trust loop into a compelling solo experience. Every suspect has a role that dictates how they communicate — some lie outright, others omit, some accidentally mislead. Decoding that web of deceit entirely on your own is a uniquely satisfying mental workout.

    The game built buzz through the Tiny Teams Festival and a community ARG that had players solving puzzles before release. Early previews call it “Minesweeper where half the numbers are lying” — tense, replayable, and endlessly clever.

    The syndicate runs the city. Only you can untangle the lies. Will you arrest the guilty… or will you get duped?

  • Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam

    Light the Beacons! ‘The Gate Must Stand’ Launches on Steam

    Dark fantasy fans and strategy tacticians, unite! Yogscast Games and Gamersky Games have officially joined forces to unleash The Gate Must Stand onto PC via Steam. Developed by Senmu Studio, this highly anticipated indie title drops players right into the final, desperate defence of the fallen Kingdom of Belrak.

    If you love the chaotic pressure of Survivors-likes, the tactical depth of Tower Defence, and the addictive loop of Action Roguelites, this is the blend you’ve been waiting for.

    Hold the Line Against Impossible Odds

    In The Gate Must Stand, the continent has fallen, the demonic invasion is at your doorstep, and you are the city of Belrak’s absolute last line of defence.

    Unlike traditional tower defence games, where you safely manage lines from a bird’s-eye view, this game puts you right in the thick of the meat grinder. You will control a powerful hero, fighting hand-to-hand alongside your forces to defend a single, critical chokepoint: the city gate.

    Your allies can fall, revive, and regroup, but remember: if the gate falls, it’s game over.

    “Heroes can fall, but the gate must stand.”

    Key Features At A Glance

    • Four Unique Heroes: Take control of diverse archetypes, from savage berserkers to devastating spellcasters, each featuring entirely distinct combat styles.
    • Insane Build Variety: Experiment with 149 Hero Skills and 150 Follower Skills to unlock massive, battlefield-clearing synergies.
    • Evolving Armies: Recruit from 19 base followers and use hard-won demonic relics to mutate them into 38 terrifying Ultimate Forms.
    • Apocalyptic Boss Fights: Face off against brutal demonic bosses every 5 minutes. Defeat them to claim game-changing perks—if you survive.
    • True Roguelite Progression: When your defence inevitably crumbles, use your blood-stained experience to purchase permanent meta-upgrades and fortify your next run.

    Out Now with an Introductory Discount!

    The Gate Must Stand is officially live on Steam for a base price of $9.99 / £8.50. To celebrate the launch, Yogscast and Gamersky are offering a 30% introductory discount, making it the perfect time to grab your sword and rally the troops on a budget. Special bundle deals are also available if you want to pair it with other indie strategic hits!

    Will you adapt, conquer, and keep the horrors at bay? Or will your defences collapse into panic and fire? Head over to Steam, grab your copy, and find out if you have what it takes to make the stand.

  • More info on Rhell: Warped Words & Troubled Times

    More info on Rhell: Warped Words & Troubled Times

    Whether you’re a fan of mind-bending puzzles or just love a protagonist with a bit of a temper, the latest story trailer for Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times is something you need to see. Released just ahead of its March 12, 2026 launch, this final deep dive gives us a haunting yet humorous look at why the world has gone quiet—and why our hero, Rhell, is the one stuck fixing it.

    Developed by SlugGlove and published by Yogscast Games, this semi-open world adventure is shaping up to be one of the most creative indies of the year.

    A World with Only 12 People Left

    The trailer sets a lonely, mysterious tone: Everyone has vanished. Well, almost everyone. Only 12 people remain in a world filled with empty towns and ancient, crumbling ruins.

    You play as Rhell, a “loud-mouthed, hot-headed mage” who isn’t exactly thrilled about the situation. Unlike many RPG heroes who start out as paragons of virtue, Rhell begins her journey brash and guarded. The trailer emphasises that her personality is a “work in progress”—as you interact with the remaining survivors, your choices will determine if she softens into a genuine hero or remains the sarcastic cynic she started as.

    Magic Without the Rulebook

    What makes Rhell stand out isn’t just the story, but the sheer insanity of its spell-casting system. The trailer showcases the rune-based magic, which features:

    40 Unique Runes: Combine keywords to create spells on the fly.

    102 Million Combinations: From turning yourself into a giant snowball to animating a rock to act as a “pet car,” the solutions are limited only by your imagination.

    Player-Driven Solutions: Every puzzle has multiple ways to be solved. If you need to hold down two switches, but you’re alone? Create a doppelganger and turn them into a puddle of goo to keep the weight on the button.

    “The system is built to reward experimentation and creativity rather than forcing players to memorise spell formulae.” — Alice Jarratt, Creator at SlugGlove

    Exploration Across 9 Distinct Zones

    The trailer also gives us a sweeping look at the game’s cel-shaded art style, which feels like a playable comic book. We caught glimpses of:

    Flooded libraries and underwater cities.

    Volcanic factories and crystal caves.

    Hidden lore fragments that piece together the “catastrophe” that cleared out the population.

    Release Date & Platforms

    Mark your calendars: Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times officially launches on March 12, 2026.

    While the primary focus is the Steam (PC) release, the game is also slated for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Linux. If you can’t wait that long, there is currently a free demo available on Steam that lets you try out the rune-crafting for yourself.
