The game draws heavily from the Ural folk tales of renowned writer Pavel Bazhov, with its characters and creatures inspired by figures from his short stories. At the center of the narrative is also a real historical figure, industrialist Nikita Demidov, founder of the influential Demidov dynasty.

In Demidoff Corp, players will explore a mystical version of the historical Ural region while uncovering the secrets hidden within Demidov’s Tower. The journey leads through icy mining tunnels, mysterious lakes, dense forests, and sprawling Demidov estates, each hiding mysteries of its own.

As the region’s factories continue to pour smoke into the sky, a strange magical affliction begins spreading across the land. Players take on the role of a fluffy retired royal agent who is sent on an urgent mission to investigate what is happening throughout the Demidov estates and bring the truth back to the Tsar.

But digging into someone else’s secrets can have unexpected consequences, and the further the retired agent ventures into the Ural wilderness, the more deeply they become entangled in the mysteries surrounding Demidov’s world.

Demidoff Corp is currently in development for PC.

Players take on the role of refugees who seek shelter inside the castle, only to discover that its secrets may be more dangerous than the storm outside. As daylight fades, the threats within the castle become increasingly dangerous, making exploration and understanding the surrounding environment essential to survival.

The Funskin Project draws from classic survival horror, combining limited resources, challenging puzzles, exploration, and a labyrinthine castle filled with interconnected areas. Hidden passages and locked locations provide new routes to discover as players gradually uncover what lies within the mysterious estate.

A dynamic day-and-night system also plays an important role in the experience. The changing time of day affects enemy behavior, saving mechanics, and access to certain areas, forcing players to adapt their approach as they explore.

Progression is tied to solving environmental puzzles and riddles scattered throughout the castle. Finding the right solutions can reveal new paths and bring players closer to discovering the truth behind Baron Fettuccini’s strange domain.

The Funskin Project is currently planned for release in 2027.

In Glory on Pluto, players build and manage rocket engine cells while combining unique fuel items to create powerful synergies. Finding the right combination of fuels is key to generating enough power to escape orbit and reach increasingly distant destinations.

As each run progresses, players can discover waypoints, recruit crew members, collect bonuses, and deal with encounters along the way. Space pirates can also disrupt a carefully planned journey, forcing players to adapt their builds as they push from planet to planet in pursuit of Pluto and beyond.

The latest demo introduces a substantial UI overhaul with customizable themes, community share codes, improved fuel drag-and-drop placement, and better crew blueprint tracking. Runs have also been reworked to move faster while increasing the consequences of running out of boost tokens.

New animations and pulsing visual cues provide clearer feedback during gameplay, while an updated tutorial makes it easier to understand fuel placement and engine mechanics. The demo also adds new unlockable stickers, including collaborations with The Subminer and Yogscast.

Language support has also been expanded with full localization for Japanese, Thai, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

The full game features more than 250 fuel items spanning multiple categories, each offering different archetypes and playstyles. Players can also recruit and promote more than 50 crew members, use segment modifiers to further customize their builds, and encounter events, traders, and other surprises between planets.

The goal is to find combinations that work together and keep pushing the engine further. Of course, those carefully planned builds can also spiral out of control, potentially sending the entire system into chaos.

The new Glory on Pluto demo is available now on Steam, ahead of the game’s November 12 release.

Developed by a team that includes the former Game Director and Producer of The Rogue Prince of Persia, MyDear.exeputs a cozy spin on the Metroidvania formula. Described by the developers as a “Foldervania,” the game replaces traditional exploration with a fictional Windows XP-inspired computer interface filled with folders, files, photographs, notes, and other personal memories.

Players take on the role of Ellie as she explores a game created by Lucien as a tribute to their 57 years together. The various files and digital keepsakes reveal their shared history while providing clues to puzzles and passwords hidden throughout the experience.

The approximately two-hour adventure mixes humor, memories, puzzles, and mini-games inspired by retro games and the personalities of Ellie and Lucien. Players will need to explore the faux operating system and examine its contents to uncover everything Lucien has left behind.

The game also features fully voiced interactions between Ellie and Lucien, giving their conversations and personalities a larger role as Ellie discovers the experience Lucien created for her.

With its combination of nonlinear exploration, retro computer aesthetics, personal memories, and puzzle-solving, MyDear.exe offers a different take on the cozy adventure genre when it arrives this November.

Inspired by the deep crafting and build systems found in games such as Path of Exile, Last Epoch, and Mortal Online 2, Teamcrafter puts crafting and character customization at the center of the experience. Instead of playing as the heroes charging into battle, you take on the role of the Craftist, responsible for preparing a party of Adventurers for whatever comes next.

Players explore pixel-art biomes, gather resources, and use their materials to create weapons, armor, and equipment. Gear can then be combined with talents and passive effects to experiment with different builds before sending the Adventurers into automated, turn-based battles. The results give players a chance to see whether their carefully crafted strategies actually work.

Crafting isn’t treated as a side activity in Teamcrafter. It’s the foundation of the game, with experimentation and build optimization driving progression and each new run.

That focus comes from a team with plenty of experience catering to players who enjoy digging deep into crafting systems. Teamcraft Studios is also behind FFXIV Teamcraft, a community tool designed to help Final Fantasy XIV players plan recipes, organize materials, and optimize their crafting.

According to the studio, FFXIV Teamcraft attracts around 300,000 unique visitors during an average month, with that number increasing to between 2 and 3 million around major Final Fantasy XIV patches and expansions. Its community has also created more than 8 million crafting lists covering over 40 million crafted items and pieces of gear.

Teamcrafter takes that same passion for planning, gathering, crafting, and theorycrafting and turns it into the core gameplay loop, making the pursuit of the perfect build the adventure itself.

First revealed during the PC Gaming Show, Gone Feral is a co-op stealth roguelike inspired by classic 1980s horror movies. Players take on the role of a horror villain seeking revenge after being left for dead, stalking victims across locations inspired by familiar slasher settings, including suburban neighborhoods and summer camps.

Stealth plays a major role in the hunt. Players can hide in plain sight, use disguises to get closer to their targets, and turn everyday objects found throughout the environment into improvised weapons. Each encounter provides opportunities to approach an assassination in different ways.

The current playtest focuses on the single-player experience, while the full game will support online co-op, allowing players to hunt their victims alongside friends.

Adding to the retro horror atmosphere is a dark synthwave soundtrack from the composer behind The Axis Unseen. The combination of stealth mechanics, creative kills, disguises, and its 1980s-inspired presentation gives Gone Feral a distinctly slasher-focused take on the roguelike genre.

Set inside the mysterious Hanwell Mental Institute, ASYLUM follows a former patient plagued by disturbing visions. Players will explore the institute, search for clues, and investigate unsettling discoveries while gradually piecing together the truth behind the strange events that occurred within its walls.

The first-person horror adventure offers approximately 10 hours of gameplay, combining exploration and challenging puzzles with an atmosphere inspired by Lovecraftian fiction and classic horror cinema. Careful observation is key to uncovering the institute’s hidden mysteries and secrets.

The experience also features a haunting soundtrack influenced by classic 1980s horror films and the work of filmmaker and composer John Carpenter. Rather than relying heavily on jump scares, ASYLUM focuses primarily on suspense, atmosphere, and the gradual discovery of what happened inside Hanwell.

Following its well-received PC debut, ASYLUM currently holds a Very Positive user rating on Steam. Console players will be able to enter the Hanwell Mental Institute when the game launches on October 30.

As Aaron searches for answers about his past, the boundaries between reality and nightmare begin to disappear. What starts as an attempt to understand where he came from becomes a much more personal journey, forcing Aaron to confront trauma, identity, memory, and the choices that have shaped his life.

The game’s branching narrative allows players to influence Aaron’s development and the fate of those around him. Decisions can alter the course of the story, with multiple endings reflecting the choices made along the way.

DEPERSON also puts a modern spin on traditional adventure-game puzzles. Alongside point-and-click exploration, players will encounter platforming challenges, dashing abilities, and character-specific skills that add new ways to approach puzzles and obstacles.

Indrija is brought to life through detailed hand-drawn environments, atmospheric visuals, and an adaptive soundtrack designed to change alongside the player’s journey. The game’s psychological horror explores themes of oppression, trauma, identity, memory, and emotional conflict while gradually revealing more about Aaron and the world around him.

The project has also received recognition on the international indie game circuit. DEPERSON was named a finalist for Best Visuals at the Gamescom Awards 2026 and was nominated for Excellence in Art at the Busan Indie Connect Festival 2026.

With its story shaped by player decisions and a community actively contributing theories, feedback, and fan creations, DEPERSON aims to make the journey through Indrija as much about understanding yourself as uncovering Aaron’s fate.

Currently in development by Elyzio’s internal Falan Studio division, Pera Coda will be PUBLSH’s first announced title as a global publisher. The game is planned to launch on PC via Steam in 2027, with additional platforms to be announced later. Pera Coda is already available to wishlist on Steam.

The story follows Deniz, a disgraced criminal defense lawyer who becomes involved in what initially appears to be an ordinary murder investigation. His search for answers soon uncovers a much larger conspiracy involving underground figures, ruthless businessmen, fallen celebrities, and innocent people caught in the middle.

As Deniz ventures deeper into Istanbul’s underworld, the investigation also forces him to confront his own memories, regrets, relationships, and the events that led to his downfall.

Pera Coda combines classic point-and-click investigation with psychological storytelling, branching dialogue, character-driven decisions, and puzzles that can have multiple solutions. Players will examine evidence, question characters, uncover connections, and make choices that can affect relationships and alter the course of the story.

Deniz’s emotional state also plays a role in the investigation. His changing emotions can influence what he says and does, while a personality system allows players to shape his character through traits such as being street-wise, educated, sneaky, or sleazy.

One of the game’s investigation mechanics is Mental Reconstruction, which allows Deniz to reconstruct crime scenes within his mind. By gathering clues and piecing together evidence, players can revisit events and investigate what happened after the fact.

The investigation also uses Deniz’s five senses to explore Istanbul. Sights, sounds, smells, and other sensory details can trigger memories and associations, helping reveal fragments of his past and inner world.

Istanbul itself serves as an important part of the experience, with real-world locations presented through an atmospheric isometric perspective. Players will explore everything from neon-lit streets and alleys to surreal dreamscapes, with environments designed to communicate clues and symbolic details alongside the story.

Choices are intended to have lasting consequences throughout the episodic adventure. Conversations, actions, relationships, trust, and even decisions about where to go can open or close opportunities and influence how events unfold.

Pera Coda is scheduled to begin its episodic release on PC via Steam in 2027, starting with its first episode.

Developed by a team of just five full-time members, Firva has been in production for two years with a budget of less than $200,000. The team is combining exploration, environmental puzzles, platforming, timing-based melee combat, handcrafted set pieces, and approximately 40 minutes of cinematic sequences in an effort to deliver a larger-scale adventure without the resources of a traditional AA production.

The story follows Firva, who has spent 20 years seeking revenge after her parents were murdered. Her long-awaited confrontation with Ratiar the Butcher finally arrives, but what she discovers on his body transforms her quest for vengeance into something far more complicated.

Firva finds one of the legendary Strings of Fate, a mythical object said to have the power to bring the dead back to life. To use its power, she needs the antler of Goldie, the deer she grew up with and who now lives peacefully in the Silent Forest.

When Firva returns to the forest, she discovers that Rajoo is also searching for the String of Fate and has already sent his hunters to claim it. Firva must reach Goldie before the hunters while finding a way to use the String of Fate to bring her parents back.

Her journey ultimately raises a more personal question. If Firva gains the power to reverse death, will bringing her parents back still be what she wants, or will the path she takes change what she truly wishes for?

Rather than attempting to match larger productions through sheer scale, the team behind Firva is focusing its limited resources on the elements players directly experience. The game features directed camera work, handcrafted sequences, and story-driven set pieces designed to give its adventure a cinematic presentation.

Exploration combines atmospheric environments with traversal challenges, environmental puzzles, hidden paths, and areas designed around discovery. Combat uses a timing-based system built around dodging, parrying, and positioning, with encounters tied to Firva’s journey.

At the center of the adventure is a female-led dark fantasy story that begins with a deeply personal goal rather than a world-saving mission. Firva’s motivation is rooted in the loss of her parents and the possibility of bringing them back.

A new trailer and playable demo for Firva: Strings of Fate are scheduled to debut in October ahead of Steam Next Fest, giving players their first opportunity to experience the game for themselves.
