Nocturne, the story-driven RPG with rhythm combat and decade-long passion project from Pracy Studios, set in a world where humanity lives in a faltering digital afterlife, uploads a brand new demo for June Steam Next Fest today.
Save humanity’s consciousness when Nocturne arrives on PC via Steam on Thursday, 24 Sept. 2026.
Upon awakening in the digital afterlife, Karma anticipated meeting their brother. Yet when they open their eyes, they instead discover a millennium has passed, the afterlife is dying, and no one knows where their brother has gone.
Salvation Denied, the chaotic co-op building sim for one to four players from indie developer Firevolt Studios and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, is pulling up to Steam Next Fest with a playable demo of its first mission today - with more to come over the course of the event.
Team up and head to a hostile planet, where crews of construction robots work against hazardous environments and catastrophe-prone physics to build gigantic experimental structures. Use heavy machinery like the all-in-one bulldozer/shredder called the Fatboy to whip together buildings and supports - as well as shelter from the occasional meteor shower.
Introducing a game six years in the making: this solo-developer’s fast-paced, handcrafted soulslike twists the genre as you steal your enemies’ attacks and chain them into deadly combos of your own
Most soulslikes ask you to dodge, parry, and punish. In False Hero you will take. Launching its free demo on June 4 ahead of Steam Next Fest (June 15-22), False Hero is a retro-styled, fast-paced soulslike adventure with a combat system unlike anything else in the genre. Its defining hook is the ability to steal your enemies’ attacks and chain them into deadly combos, turning every encounter into a puzzle of which skills to equip, when to use them, and how to string it all together. False Hero was developed by a solo developer (Torchlight Studios) over six years(!), who created absolutely every element—art, design, code, animations, and the soundtrack!— and will be published by Ytopia.
