In Spindle, you play as Death — but not alone. A loyal little pig joins you on your quest through a beautifully handcrafted pixel-art world that’s been in the works since 2018. Every dungeon, puzzle, and sprite has been refined through years of iteration to match the developers’ exact vision.

This old-school adventure invites you to explore eerie landscapes, tackle shadowy dungeons, and solve intricate puzzles while making use of Death’s unique powers to overcome both enemies and environmental obstacles. The pig isn’t just for company — it’s a key part of your journey and the game’s charm.

“We’ve poured years into perfecting Spindle,” the team shared. “It’s as close to our vision as possible, and we can’t wait for players to start their own journey to become the one and only Death — with a pig at their side.”

Sharpen your scythe, grab your porcine companion, and prepare to uncover the mysteries waiting in Spindle when it launches later this year. You can wishlist the game now on Steam to be ready when Death calls.

Inspired by 1800s Ireland, Forge of the Fae blends rich worldbuilding with a personal, choice-driven narrative. Players step into the role of Fiora, a young inventor caught in the growing conflict between humans and the fae. As an ancient power stirs, Fiora must navigate political tensions, unravel a deep mystery, and decide who she wants to become — with player decisions shaping the ultimate outcome.

Built for fans of old-school turn-based adventures, Forge of the Fae features strategic battles enhanced by two unique systems: the “ARC Crystal System,” which allows for customizable spells, and the “Adrenaline” mechanic, which adds powerful, high-impact abilities. Outside combat, players will encounter elaborate puzzles that reward exploration with rare items and hidden lore.

“Forge of the Fae is a perfect match for us,” said Michael Hoss, Head of Product at Deck13 Spotlight. “Even in its early stages, it’s incredibly well crafted and pulls all the right triggers.”

“We have found a reliable partner with Deck13 Spotlight,” added David Schooley from Datadyne. “They fully understand our vision and know the JRPG market so well. We’re super excited for the upcoming journey!”

Fans attending Gamescom 2025 can try Forge of the Fae at the Indie Arena Booth in Cologne, and the game will also be showcased at Tokyo Game Show later this year.

You can play the free demo and wishlist Forge of the Fae now on Steam.
