Developed by Nigerian solo developer gazuntype, Go North is an atmospheric exploration adventure centered around wandering through intricate maze-like environments where every path ultimately leads in one direction: north.

Players step into the role of Dara, navigating sprawling landscapes filled with hidden relics, mystical technologies, and tranquil scenery. The latest gameplay footage highlights the game’s relaxing pace and dreamlike traversal mechanics, encouraging players to slow down and take in the journey rather than rush toward the destination.

Throughout the adventure, players will unlock unique tools and abilities designed to help traverse the winding environments. Dara can soar above the landscape inside a floating bubble to scout the terrain from the sky, race through open stretches on a moth-shaped hoverboard, and interact with magical systems hidden throughout the world.

With its calming atmosphere, soft visual style, and emphasis on discovery, Go North looks to deliver a meditative exploration experience focused on wonder and curiosity rather than combat or survival.

The game is currently scheduled to launch in Q3 2026 on Steam for PC and Xbox Series X|S, with the Nintendo Switch version arriving at a later date.

Inspired by Papers, Please and SCP-style paranoia, Security 51 casts players as a security guard stationed deep within Area 51. Your job sounds simple at first: inspect documents, verify identities, and decide who is allowed access to the underground elevator system. But as shifts progress, it quickly becomes clear that not everyone attempting to pass through is entirely human.

Set inside a massive underground bunker hidden miles beneath the desert, players must carefully inspect employees, scientists, and mysterious personnel entering and exiting restricted levels packed with experiments, anomalies, and unknown horrors. Every visitor carries paperwork, badges, or orders, but appearances can be deceiving.

As the tension escalates, players will need to monitor names, positions, clearance levels, schedules, and inconsistencies while also watching for suspicious behavior, strange speech patterns, or documents that seem almost too perfect. New tools and procedures gradually become available, including fingerprint verification, blood testing, and quarantine protocols that force players to make difficult calls with potentially deadly consequences.

Security 51 blends psychological horror with bureaucratic decision-making, creating a tense atmosphere where even a small mistake can spiral into disaster several shifts later.

Key Features

• Verify documents, personnel records, and suspicious inconsistencies
• Use advanced security measures like fingerprints, blood tests, and quarantines
• Experience escalating paranoia inspired by SCP-style horror
• Face long-term consequences tied to your decisions and mistakes

The Security 51 playtest is available now on Steam, where players can request access and wishlist the game ahead of release.

A free demo is available now on Steam, giving players an early look at the strange and hilarious systems powering the game.

Panic Is Part of the Process

In It’s Fine, disaster strikes when your publisher moves up the launch date of your highly anticipated indie game. With only 24 in-game hours to finish development, you’ll need to keep your workstation running at full speed while juggling the bizarre team around you.

Your project manager is a dog. The art department is led by a gorilla. Marketing? That’s handled by a questionable bot farm. Somehow, it all has to come together before the clock hits zero.

The core gameplay revolves around managing stations and constantly generating code to push development forward. Clicking the computer speeds up production, but expanding the office with upgraded hardware, extra processors, and more RAM can dramatically improve efficiency. Even a coffee machine becomes a crucial piece of the workflow when you’re grinding through crunch.

Strange Tools for a Strange Deadline

As the pressure mounts, players unlock increasingly ridiculous systems designed to boost productivity. New stations introduce unusual ways to generate resources and keep progress moving.

An ancient 3D printer churns out valuable materials, a mysterious Voodoo Kraken produces powerful bonuses, and a mischievous Vandalist Bird contributes to the chaos. Meanwhile, a squirrel named Peanut serves as the studio’s renewable energy source, running endlessly on a wheel to keep things powered.

Of course, Peanut doesn’t stay ordinary forever. Over time, the squirrel evolves into something far stranger—eventually blasting lightning around the office as development ramps up.

A Demo Packed With Systems to Explore

The current demo introduces players to the core loop of It’s Fine, including wishlist farming, achievement hunting, and managing the expectations of the ever-watchful canine project manager, Joe.

Players will also encounter the game’s Prestige system, which resets progress in exchange for permanent upgrades that improve future runs. These modifiers allow players to optimize their strategy and push development faster each time they restart.

Achievements, challenges, and hidden secrets add additional layers to the experience, giving completionists plenty of goals to chase while racing toward the final release deadline.

Built by a Two-Person Team

It’s Fine is the first game from the husband-and-wife team behind Buma Games, and the developers emphasize that the project is entirely handcrafted. The game features hand-drawn art with no AI-generated visuals, and its soundtrack and audio were composed by Alon Amit.

The result is a small but personality-filled project that leans heavily into humor, absurdity, and the very real stress of trying to finish a game before a deadline.

It’s Fine is scheduled to release on Steam in the future, but players can jump into the demo right now to see if they have what it takes to survive 24 hours of game dev crunch.

The digital showcase coincides with Pixel Expo’s in-person event in Perth (September 13–14), which already draws more than 7,000 attendees each year.

Pixel Expo itself is a non-profit event dedicated to supporting and growing Western Australia’s creative industries. With the addition of the Steam showcase, the convention is making its boldest move yet toward international visibility—spotlighting the passion, originality, and variety of Australia’s indie developers.
