  • Don’t Get Stuck in the Walls — Benny’s Backrooms Enters Steam Early Access Right Now

    Don’t Get Stuck in the Walls — Benny’s Backrooms Enters Steam Early Access Right Now

    GameName’s co-op liminal horror drops during Steam Scream Fest — Top 3 wishlisted hit out now

    You round a corner and the hallway stretches forever. The hum of fluorescent lights fills your ears. Somewhere down the hall, something moves — and it knows you’re there.

    Independent developer and publisher GameName has officially launched Benny’s Backrooms into Steam Early Access for PC, arriving perfectly timed for Steam Scream Fest after a hugely successful demo run during October’s Steam Next Fest. The game rocketed into the Top 3 on Steam’s Popular Upcoming chart ahead of release — and now you can step inside.

    What Is Benny’s Backrooms?

    You and your friends are recruited by Alcazar Industries for a very special extraction mission: venture into the endless, shifting liminal realm known as the Backrooms, locate and harvest Tescil — a rare substance forming the very fabric of this dimension — and get out alive. Simple, right? Except:

    • The levels are procedurally generated — no two layouts are ever the same
    • You’re armed with little more than a specialised industrial vacuum and your wits
    • Strange creatures stalk the halls — including the entity known as Benny himself: playful, unpredictable, and extremely dangerous
    • Lose your way, fall behind, or draw too much attention… and you might never leave

    Explore, Extract, Escape — Key Features

    Solo or up to 4-player online co-op — bring friends or brave the infinite alone

    Full proximity voice chat — hear your teammates get closer or further away… and hear them when they’re close to you

    Physics-driven interaction — move objects, open doors, and manipulate the environment in tangible ways

    Endlessly shifting spaces — procedurally generated levels across iconic Backrooms-style themes

    Meet the locals — face a growing cast of eerie, distinct entities with their own behaviours

    Tools, gear & cosmetics — unlock better equipment, unique outfits, and useful upgrades as you return with your haul

    From Next Fest Demo to Full Early Access

    The game made a massive impression during October’s Steam Next Fest, where players got their first taste of the first full level — and the community response was overwhelming. Wishlists surged, feedback poured in, and the team spent the weeks since refining, polishing, and expanding the experience into the Early Access build live today.

    Grab your friends, charge your vacuum, and keep moving. Don’t look back. Don’t get lost. And whatever you do… don’t let Benny catch you.

  • Into the Unknown — No Such Place, Top-Down PvE Extraction Shooter, Hits Early Access Tonight

    Into the Unknown — No Such Place, Top-Down PvE Extraction Shooter, Hits Early Access Tonight

    Step into somewhere that officially doesn’t exist. No Such Place — the atmospheric top-down pixel-art extraction shooter from ChillyRoom’s Crit Team — launches into Steam Early Access at 8:00 PM PDT, October 13 / October 14 UTC, inviting players to explore fractured dimensions, recover forbidden relics, and escape before reality erases them entirely.

    Welcome to the U.R.C. — Where Places Get Erased

    You are an agent of the Unknown Research Consortium (U.R.C.), a shadowy organisation investigating anomalous zones that the world has tried to wipe from existence. These are locations where space, time, and physics are breaking down — and where something strange is taking their place.

    Your mission:

    • Deploy into unstable dimensional fragments — burning forests, frozen highlands, abandoned research facilities, and warped urban zones
    • Scavenge weapons, gear, medical supplies, and priceless relics, documents, and biological samples
    • Survive against hostile creatures born from the anomaly itself
    • Extract before the region is consumed entirely by the “erasure” — stay too long, and there is no coming back

    Extraction, Reimagined

    No Such Place brings the tension of extraction shooters to a tense top-down perspective, leaning into PvE co-operation rather than player-versus-player conflict:

    Core FeatureDetail
    Play StyleSolo or online co-op for up to 4 players
    VisualsRich, atmospheric pixel art with dynamic lighting and weather
    Weapon EvolutionGear can become “corrupted” by the anomaly — transforming in strange, powerful, or unpredictable ways
    Safehouse ProgressionKeep what you extract to upgrade your base, unlock new tech, and expand your capabilities
    Launch Content3 major regions, nearly 10 distinct dimensional zones at Early Access launch
    LanguagesEnglish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and more supported

    More Than Loot — Uncover the Truth

    Every run carries risk. Every recovered item tells part of a larger story. As you delve deeper into these forgotten spaces, you begin to uncover what — or who — caused them to fracture in the first place. The anomaly isn’t random. It’s evolving. And it has secrets that the U.R.C. is desperate to keep buried.

    Built for the Long Haul

    Crit Team — the indie studio within ChillyRoom — has designed No Such Place as a living Early Access project:

    • Demo has been available since June, gathering community feedback throughout
    • Full 1.0 release timeline still to be confirmed
    • New zones, weapons, story chapters, and corrupted variants planned based on player input
    • Developers maintain open dialogue via Steam Community and official channels

    Available Now

    The Steam store page is live.

    Launch coincides with the previously announced October 13/14 rollout — depending on your time zone, the doors are open right now. Grab your team, pack your gear, and remember the golden rule of extraction: it doesn’t count as yours until you make it out alive.

    Good luck, Agent. Somewhere out there, the truth is waiting. And so is whatever guards it.

  • Step Beyond the 13th Gate: Hand of Fate: Hordes Officially Launches in Steam Early Access

    Step Beyond the 13th Gate: Hand of Fate: Hordes Officially Launches in Steam Early Access

    The Dealer is back—and the Game of Life and Death has taken a wild, action-packed turn.

    Gamers, rejoice! Developer Spitfire Interactive and publisher Spicy Koala have officially launched Hand of Fate: Hordes into Steam Early Access.

    If you loved the genre-blending brilliance of the original, award-winning Hand of Fate franchise, prepare yourself for a bold evolution. Hand of Fate: Hordes takes the dark-fantasy tarot aesthetic and strategic deckbuilding that defined the series and pairs it with the fast-paced, high-octane thrill of bullet-heaven / auto-shooter combat.

    What is Hand of Fate: Hordes?

    Imprisoned within the treacherous Shadow Vaults beyond the mysterious 13th Gate, you find yourself trapped with the enigmatic, banished Dealer. To survive his dark designs and escape the netherworld, you must carve your way through endless waves of enemies, conquer deadly quests, and defeat fearsome bosses.

    Instead of traditional turn-based or action-RPG encounters, Hand of Fate: Hordes thrusts you into chaotic, survivor-style action where your deck dictates your destiny.

    Key Highlights & Features:

    • Strategic Deckbuilding Meets Bullet Heaven: Build and customise your deck to shape each run. Your cards introduce new weapons, blessings, narrative encounters, and game-altering modifiers, ensuring no two playthroughs are ever the same.
    • Four Unique Playable Heroes: Experiment with distinct combat styles across four playable characters:
      • Warrior: Heavy-hitting melee dominance.
      • Trickster: High mobility and sneaky tactical strikes.
      • Goblin: Chaotic, unpredictable ranged & magical prowess.
      • Rebel: Balanced, relentless survival instinct.
    • The Return of the Dealer: Fan-favourite voice actor Anthony Skordi returns to reprise his iconic role as the dark, brooding Dealer—bringing his signature atmosphere and intrigue back to the game table.
    • Minigames & Meta-Progression: Test your fortune with card shuffles and dice minigames mid-run for powerful boons. Earn tokens after each attempt to unlock long-term upgrades, new cards, and game-changing rewards.

    Price & Early Access Launch Discount

    To celebrate the launch, Hand of Fate: Hordes is available on Steam for $11.99 / €11.99, with a special 20% launch discount for the first two weeks!

    For hardcore fans wanting to flex extra flair, the Hand of Fate: Hordes Supporter Pack ($4.99) offers exclusive chrome cosmetic skins for heroes, cards, and dice. If you’re new to the franchise, check out the Complete the Set Bundle to grab the entire trilogy in one go.

    The Journey Beyond the Gate Has Just Begun

    With a “Very Positive” rating right out of the gate on Steam, the team at Spitfire Interactive is eager to build the game alongside the community. Throughout Early Access, players can expect regular updates featuring new heroes, extra dungeons, terrifying bosses, fresh weapons, and expanded deck options.

  • Drop the Beat (and the Cat Miaows): OFFBEAT Launches into Steam Early Access!

    Drop the Beat (and the Cat Miaows): OFFBEAT Launches into Steam Early Access!

    If you’ve ever dreamt of becoming a hit music producer—but lacked thousands of dollars in studio gear or a degree in audio engineering—a delightfully eccentric new title just hit Steam to turn your beat-making dreams into reality.

    Developer Whetstone Games and publisher Pantaloon have officially launched OFFBEAT into Early Access on Steam! Available now for $11.99 / €11.99 / £10.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount, OFFBEAT invites players to step into a surreal 198X sandbox where making real music is as fun as it is bizarre.

    What is OFFBEAT?

    At its core, OFFBEAT is a cosy music-tycoon simulator that strips away the intimidating learning curve of traditional Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) and replaces it with charm, humour, and quirky creativity.

    Set in the stylised 1980s, you play as a jobbing composer taking commissions to build up your home studio. The twist? Your instruments aren’t standard synthesisers or high-end grand pianos—they are children’s toys, garden ornaments, and kitchen utensils.

    Starting with a tiger-shaped toy keyboard and a shady four-track sequencer, you’ll unlock, upgrade, and experiment with eccentric gear like singing gnomes, cymbal-clashing monkeys, and fully simulated cat pianos.

    Key Features at a Glance

    • Build Your Dream Studio: Complete music briefs for eccentric clients ranging from wedding clients to corporate fanfares—or even spooky spirit ceremonies. Earn cash to upgrade your gear and expand your collection.
    • Real Music, Real Export: OFFBEAT isn’t just a mini-game—it’s a fully functional audio production tool under the hood! Every track you compose in-game can be exported directly to your PC as a .WAV file, which you own outright to share, upload, or even use commercially.
    • Zero Intimidation: Designed specifically to tackle “software fatigue,” the game seamlessly teaches real audio production principles—like sound design, sequencing, and synthesis—through intuitive, hands-on play.
    • Pantaloon Records & OFFBEAT Radio: Publisher Pantaloon has launched a real-world record label to highlight and publish music created by players within the game.
    • Packed Early Access Launch: The initial release features 7 fully simulated musical objects, 3 sound effects modules, 22 client jobs, and 2 full game chapters, with monthly content updates planned throughout its 6 to 8-month Early Access roadmap.

    A Word From the Creators

    Speaking on the vision behind the game, Ed Sibley, Creative Director at Whetstone Games, shared:

    “I think everybody has a killer song in them, but I also think that composition and music production can be intimidating… OFFBEAT is supposed to challenge that. It’s daft and eccentric, which makes it approachable, but under that playful exterior there’s a lot of complexity and possibility baked into our tools. The hope is, by the time a player gets to the end of the campaign, they’ll be ready to confidently make the leap into more formal music production.”

    Try Before You Buy

    Not sure if your beat-making style fits a singing gnome synth? A free playable demo is also available on Steam so you can take the instruments for a test drive before grabbing the full Early Access release.

    Head over to Steam today to grab OFFBEAT with its 10% launch discount and start crafting your next masterpiece!

  • Return to Mystralia: Spell-Crafting Roguelite Echoes of Mystralia Hits Steam Early Access This August!

    Return to Mystralia: Spell-Crafting Roguelite Echoes of Mystralia Hits Steam Early Access This August!

    Gamers, prepare your spellbooks and sharpen your reflexes! Canadian independent studio Borealys Games has officially announced that its highly anticipated new title, Echoes of Mystralia, is casting its way into Steam Early Access on August 11, 2026.

    If that name sounds familiar, it’s because it marks a thrilling return to the enchanting universe of Mages of Mystralia (2017). But this time, Borealys Games is shaking things up by blending their signature, deep spell-crafting mechanics with the high-stakes, addictive loop of a roguelite.

    Here is everything you need to know about your next indie obsession.

    Protect the Cycle of Memories

    Set in the same rich, magical world as its predecessor, Echoes of Mystralia places you in the boots of a Watcher. As a Watcher, you bear a heavy and sacred burden: you are charged with protecting the Cycle of Memories and Mystralia itself.

    A mysterious and cataclysmic rift has torn through the fabric of reality, threatening to consume everything in its path. To save the realm, you’ll have to dive headfirst into ever-changing environments, face formidable enemies, and master the very elements of magic.

    Custom Magic at Your Fingertips

    What set Mages of Mystralia apart was its incredible, intuitive spell-building system, and Echoes of Mystralia is taking that creative freedom to the next level. Because it is a roguelite, no two runs will be the same. Players can expect to design, tweak, and iterate on their custom spells on the fly, combining different magical components to suit their playstyle or counter the specific dangers of each run.

    Whether you want to create a shield that reflects fireballs or a chain-lightning attack that freezes enemies on impact, the only limit is your imagination (and your survival instincts!).

    Why Early Access?

    By launching into Steam Early Access on August 11, Borealys Games is inviting the community to help shape the future of the game. Roguelites thrive on balance, variety, and player feedback. Stepping into the game early means you’ll get to test out the spell-crafting systems firsthand and provide crucial input to the developers as they polish the final product.

    Mark Your Calendars!

    If you love deep customisation, challenging rogue-lite progression, and rich fantasy lore, Echoes of Mystralia is a must-wishlist.

    Prepare to face the rift, protect the Cycle, and craft the ultimate magical arsenal when it launches on August 11, 2026.

    Are you ready to become a Watcher? Head over to Steam to wishlist Echoes of Mystralia today!

  • From Slave to Patron: Bloodgrounds Hits 1.0 This March

    From Slave to Patron: Bloodgrounds Hits 1.0 This March

    The sand is stained, the crowd is roaring, and the Emperor is waiting. After a successful run in Early Access, the brutal gladiator simulation Bloodgrounds is officially ready for its full-scale debut.

    Developed by the Zagreb-based team at Exordium Games and published by Daedalic Entertainment, Bloodgrounds will launch into Version 1.0 on Steam on March 12, 2026.

    Blending the tactical precision of XCOM with the unforgiving management of Darkest Dungeon, this roguelite strategy title has spent months being sharpened by community feedback. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to step into the arena, the gates are finally swinging wide.

    The Path to Vengeance

    In Bloodgrounds, you don’t just fight for survival—you fight for a legacy. You play as a once-enslaved gladiator who has risen to become a wealthy patron. Your goal? Navigate the political web of the coastal city of Marevento and assemble a squad capable of toppling the tyrannical Emperor who destroyed your family.

    The 1.0 release brings the culmination of this journey, expanding on the core pillars that made the Early Access version a “Very Positive” hit:

    Tactical Grid Combat: Every move counts in turn-based battles where positioning, traps, and divine intervention are the difference between glory and a shallow grave.

    Hardcore Permadeath: When a gladiator falls, they are gone forever. You’ll lose their gear, their progress, and the bond you’ve built, forcing you to reshape your strategy on the fly.

    Estate Management: Between bloodbaths, you’ll upgrade your estate, research new crafting recipes, and manage the psychological trauma of your fighters.

    Crowd Dynamics: The arena isn’t just about killing; it’s about performing. Win over the audience for mid-battle buffs or manipulate the underworld to sabotage your rivals before the first blow is struck.

    What’s New in Version 1.0?

    The transition from Early Access to full release isn’t just a label change. Exordium Games has packed the 1.0 update with significant content additions following their major “Masters of the Arena” and “Trials of the Gladiator” updates.

    Are You Ready to Enter the Pit?

    Whether you’re a fan of Battle Brothers or Into the Breach, Bloodgrounds offers a “crunchy” tactical experience that respects your intelligence while punishing your mistakes. With its gritty pixel-art aesthetic and deep RPG progression, it is set to be one of the standout strategy releases of the year.

    The game also offers a Supporter Pack for those who want to dive deeper into the world of Marevento, featuring a digital artbook, the original soundtrack, and exclusive in-game cosmetics.

    Sharpen your steel and prepare your tactics. Bloodgrounds 1.0 arrives on Steam this Thursday, March 12.

  • DYSPLACED: 10tons’ Interdimensional Survival RPG Hits Steam Early Access

    DYSPLACED: 10tons’ Interdimensional Survival RPG Hits Steam Early Access

    The wait is over for fans of the hit survival-action game DYSMANTLE. Developer 10tons Ltd has officially launched their next major project, DYSPLACED, into Steam Early Access as of today, March 5, 2026.

    If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a modern-day human—equipped with nothing but a few “artefacts” like shotguns and grenades—was suddenly dropped into a realm of high fantasy and ancient magic, DYSPLACED is your answer.

    A World Where Two Realities Collide

    In DYSPLACED, you take on the role of the Guardian, a newcomer thrust into a breathtaking but dying magical realm. The twist? The modern world is “leaking” into this fantasy land. You’ll encounter bewildered locals who view your scavenged technology as powerful sorcery, and you’ll need to blend medieval craftsmanship with modern-day grit to survive.

    Key Features at Launch

    The Early Access version arrives with a robust amount of content, offering roughly 15–40 hours of gameplay depending on your exploration style.

    Handcrafted Open World: Explore three of the six planned islands (Keimai, Sanctus, and Ananke), each featuring distinct biomes inspired by the lush forests and jagged canyons of Finland.

    Deep Crafting & Building: True to the 10tons formula, you can break down almost anything in the environment. Use those materials to cook, fish, smith, and build everything from simple campsites to fortified outposts.

    Online Co-op: For the first time in a 10tons survival title, 4-player online co-op is available from day one. You can host your own game or join friends to tackle the rising darkness together.

    Total Customisation: Create your hero from scratch and master the arcane arts—or just stick to the reliable power of a well-placed grenade.

    The Road Ahead

    10tons estimates that DYSPLACED will remain in Early Access for 6 to 12 months. During this period, the team plans to roll out:

    The remaining three islands are to complete the map.

    Local couch co-op (a fan-favourite feature from DYSMANTLE).

    New quests, creatures, and higher-tier crafting recipes.

    “The core fantasy of DYSPLACED is a question we’ve all asked ourselves: what would you do if you suddenly fell into a realm of myth and magic?” says lead developer Sampo Töyssy. “Following the success of DYSMANTLE, we knew we wanted to take the formula further—bigger world, deeper systems, and proper online co-op from the ground up.”

    Join the Adventure

    DYSPLACED is available now on Steam with a 15% launch discount. If you’re looking for a survival experience that balances the zen of resource gathering with the thrill of interdimensional combat, this is one to add to your library immediately.
