Press release

Tidy a magical alley, build a worm empire, and mine your desktop one keypress at a time. All three are free to play during Steam Next Fest from October 19.

Berlin-based developer-publisher Ivy Juice is heading into Steam Next Fest (October 19 – October 26) with three playable demos, each with a confirmed release date.

Cluttermancer: Tidy Up the Nightmare Alley
Demo: October 17, 6 PM CEST
Early Access: October 30, 2026
A first-person organization sim set in the My Little Cafe Nightmare universe, co-developed with SethMadDev. Players sort and shelve strange magical wares across a crooked alley of shops, where wands hum and tomes whisper. The demo opens the first shop, Early Access launches with two, and more will follow. The full alley holds five shops and more than 6,666 items.

Worm Capitalist
Demo: available now
Release: November 30, 2026
A bizarre incremental game from solo developer Tikotey, in which hungry worms become a surprisingly serious business. Players feed their colony pixel by pixel, collect what the worms produce, and reinvest everything until the whole operation runs itself. The game features a skill tree, prestige resets for permanent bonuses, active abilities, Twitch integration, and 16 languages.

Desktop Drill
Demo: available now
Release: December 7, 2026
Every keypress fires up your drill. Developed in-house by Ivy Juice, Desktop Drill is a desktop companion that turns your typing into a mining expedition, right on your screen. Dig through layers of rare ores, complete daily missions, and unlock Drill Heads, Cores, and Drivers to build a rig for power, storage, or looks. Up to 10 friends can mine together on-screen for bonus rewards. It’s available in 10 languages.
