Heya!

We're aware that no one likes to read long off-topic updates, so let's get straight to the point: two of our games will be participating in the upcoming Steam Next Fest, and we'd love it if you'd give their demos a chance. We can't promise a complete match to your tastes, but the quality is guaranteed.

The first one is Die in the Dungeon, a turn-based roguelike game where you don't use cards, but dice. Deal with enemies by combining powerful dice on your board, boost their effects with magical relics, and risk it all hoping for a good roll on unexpected encounters. Oh, and the protagonist here is a cute little frog - everyone loves frogs, right?

The second one is Intravenous 2, an old-school tactical stealth action game. Will you embrace the shadows or confront your foes head-on? The choice is yours. Save lives. Uncover secrets. Take vengeance. If you're up for some hardcore challenge - don't miss it, you'll dig it for sure.

This post should have ended here, as there is no third game for the Fest. BUT there is a third, freshly revealed game that we would still like to present to you, so here we go:

Canyons is a third-person extraction shooter set in a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic world where survival is only possible in the canyons. Play solo or gather a team of up to four players. Arm yourselves to the teeth, grab supplies, and set out to conquer the canyons on massive Crawlers. This one won't have a demo anytime soon, but if it's up your alley, be sure to wishlist the game so you don't miss out on it.

Cheers, and we wish you as many exciting games as possible!

Autumn is a season of harvest, and games are no exception! Our publisher HypeTrain Digital decided to join the festivities and arrange a mega sale to be held from 8 to 12 September. Apart from the biggest discounts of up to 90%, HypeTrain Digital Publisher Sale features new game reveals, free demos, and even 3 brand new releases, also on sale – definitely worth checking out!

And if for some reason you still don’t own DESOLATE, now is the best time to fix it – the game is 75% off after all.


Happy shopping!
