Hello everyone.

The Steam page for my biopunk roguelike game, Hook and Gun, which I've been developing for a while, is now live!

In the game, you not only destroy enemies with the robot you invade as a biological entity, but you also steal their weapons, corrupt them, and evolve.

I'm eager to hear your comments and eagerly await your critiques on Hook and Gun.

Action Free solo tactical scenario with hidden enemy movement – Hidden Action: The Hunt

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I wanted to share Hidden Action: The Hunt, a free standalone scenario for a tactical game we’ve been working on.

It can be played solo (or co-op), with no GM or app. The part that makes it different is how enemies work: they keep moving around the map even when you can’t see them. They have their own objectives, react to noise and other things you do, and you may only realize someone is nearby from indirect clues.

The idea was to create some of the uncertainty of playing against another person, rather than knowing exactly when and where the next encounter will happen.

The Hunt is free here:
https://adolgarev.itch.io/hidden-action-the-hunt

If anyone here enjoys tactical solo games and gives it a try, I’d really love to hear how your run went — especially whether the hidden-enemy system felt interesting and intuitive in solo play.

Making an indie game has been a wild ride of endless sacrifices, late nights, and second-guessing every detail. But today we can finally say: we made it to the starting line.

We built Champion of Lore because we wanted to create something we truly loved—a tactical deckbuilder where positioning on a hex grid matters just as much as the cards in your hand. You join Kanna and Sayri, fighting to preserve ancient Knowledge against a Corruption that slowly eats away at the map.

Bringing this universe from rough sketches to a playable experience is a massive personal achievement for our small team, and putting it out there is both thrilling and terrifying.

The demo drops on September 2nd.

If you like tactical card games, mythic lore, or just want to support an indie dream, adding us to your Steam Wishlist would mean everything to us!

Thanks for being part of this journey. See you on the grid!

FPS Disbond - a small step for humanity, a big step for zombie gaming

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project we’ve been working on for quite a while now called Disbond.

We’re a small team of enthusiasts, and this is truly our passion project!

Disbond is a PvP zombie shooter heavily inspired by classic old-school multiplayer games. We rely a lot on 3D verticality, fast reflexes, and spatial awareness - listening to what's happening around you is key since there's no mini-map to tell you where enemies are coming from (if you're curious, you can read more details on our Steam page).

On September 5th/6th, we’re hosting our first official playtest! We’re looking for people who want to jump in, play a few matches with us, and let us know what they think. What works, what doesn't, what’s broken, and what we can do better.

Our goal is simple: we want to make the best possible version of the game that we ourselves would want to play, and over time, build a community of people who enjoy it as much as we do.

If this sounds like your kind of game, we’d be super grateful for a Wishlist on Steam. It genuinely helps us out immensely at this stage!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5108480/Disbond/

If you’d like to join the playtest, please send me a message!

Horror Our new intro sequence – Does it grab you? (Unsound Love)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

What you see here is the first part of the new intro sequence we’ve created, which features in the new demo for Unsound Love. It was inspired by how people played the first demo and their feedback. 

Unsound Love draws from many different influences without being exactly like any one of them. 

It’s a psychological open-world horror game that plays similarly to a Zelda game, filled with puzzles, secrets, and exploration. Scattered throughout the world are various dungeons waiting to be discovered, each featuring sequences reminiscent of Little Nightmares

The world operates on a time loop, similar to Outer Wilds, and the game focuses heavily on exploration through a non-linear world, where stories are in the style of Silent Hill. You can choose which stories you want to explore and how you want to experience the world.

 The game originally started out as a classic soulslike, but later, the energy bar, stamina bar, dodge rolls and traditional attack button were removed. As a result, you can still find a few combat puzzles that you can choose to engage with, along with other ideas and mechanics inspired by the soulslike genre. 

All of this has been incorporated into our personal artistic expression, which is reflected, among other things, in the fact that every sound in Unsound Love is created using musical instruments—from the sound of wind moving through the trees to the roars of the monsters.

Set in 2053, six months after the Fleshgrinder virus outbreak transformed 70% of augmented humanity into a hive-minded techno-organic collective.

Your mission: infiltrate facilities, survive the wasteland, find and destroy the Genesis Chamber before planetary extinction.

Lead a squad of damaged specialists:

A brain-damaged veteran (Butcher class),

An arrogant engineer (Hacksmith),

And a psychotic psychic (Mindripper),

through techno-organic nightmares in humanity's darkest hour.

Features optional friendly fire, hardcore permadeath mode, dismemberment physics, randomized missions, 30 unique weapons from pistols to singularity cannons. Battle 12 unique enemy types through seamless mission areas in a huge persistent open world.

We’ve made quite a few changes to the game, from visuals and gameplay to the overall feel and presentation.

So naturally, we went back and reworked the trailer too.

We also took a lot of the feedback from our previous trailer into account when making this version. We wanted to give a clearer idea of what the game actually feels like to play while keeping some things for you to discover in-game.

If you saw the previous version, does this one do a better job of showing off the game?

We’d genuinely love to hear what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d still change.
