New Demo & Trailer: Grobnopolis | Last Days

Begin your journey (for as many days as you have left) as an apartment block caretaker in the debut demo for Grobnopolis | Last Days, out now on Steam and covering the first two game chapters. When the locals begin to whisper about a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets, and the ecclesiastical order tightens its unseen grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find, as people often do, that some things were meant to remain buried…

New Trailer: SATED – Demo Coming Soon

Jump into the grimy, hypnotic roguelike SATED when its first demo launches soon. In this decadent world, your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied… Interested chefs can also sign up for a playtest on Steam now.

New Trailer: Inkblood – Demo Out Now

Enter the world of the occult and the bizarre in the newest trailer for Inkblood. Solve 10 unique cases, each filled with escape room-style puzzles and clever obstacles to overcome. Examine both outside and inside of your carriage, with non-linear investigations inspired by games like The Room, The Case of the Golden Idol, and Strange Horticulture. Be warned – not every mystery in life is meant to be solved. Play the demo on Steam now!
