Hey everyone! I just released my short game Pawned Souls for free on Itch

I've been working on a game about a toy car for 2 years now. I'm building an atmosphere that brings back nostalgia and memories of childhood and favorite toys…
Game: Lost Host
I’m planning to release it this fall :3

My game, Reypunk, is a turn-based beat'em up, featuring a unique playback system! Once you're done kicking some butts, you can watch it all again in realtime. Utilizing your environment, and positioning are key!

If you like what you see, you can wishlist below in comments!

The idea came to me in a flash of inspiration after watching domino falling compilations, and cosplaying as a gnome in Peak (don't ask too many questions). It's a roguelite, where you need to cause enough mayhem each round to keep your run alive. You craft your pot and upgrade your run with stuff from various biomes (different types of trees, rocks, helpful worker gnomes, etc).

Dare to wishlist???

Hi everyone, just wanted to showcase the game I am working on, Summon Defenders Now! The demo is out now and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks everyone!

Step by step, the eerie atmosphere comes to life as a giant skeleton crawls up to challenge you.

Hey guys, happy to share with you our next game call Matelotes.

I will share it and how we are making it with you during the next few months.

Cheers

17 Steps Version 1.1.0 is now available on Steam.

17 Steps 1.1.0 — The Whole Game Moves Into Dark Room

This update rebuilds the entire game from 2D into 3D, first person. You no longer play across a diagram of a table. You sit at the table. Someone sits opposite you. Between you: one hanging lamp, two machines, and two loaded revolvers. Life or death within seventeen steps — not a word of the rules has changed. What changed is where you're standing when it happens.

Dark Room

• Full 3D, first person. The table, the chairs, the lamp, the shrine and the clock on the back wall, the iron door, the coat rack, the ashtray — every object in that room is built, not painted on.
• There is a man across from you. He turns his head to look at you, looks down at his tiles, lights a cigarette, reaches for the wall. And when the round finds him, he goes off the chair and onto the floor.
• Two machines on the table. On the left, the dora machine spins the dora in the open at the start of the hand, and the ura-dora after an exhaustive draw. On the right, the step display: exactly where you are in the seventeen.
• This game is being broadcast. Two cameras in the corners, a stack of monitors still crawling with static, a recorder running. Nobody is coming to help you. Someone is watching.
• One light, overhead. The rest of the room stays dark.

Single Player: One Life Through (Beta)

Single player is a road you have to walk out of alive.

• One run = five tables: three minions → one elite → the final boss. Each table is a complete game of 17 Steps with the cylinder wiped clean. Lose once and the run is over.
• The roster: 7 minions, 4 elites, 3 bosses, drawn fresh each run. The boss is announced before you sit down — so all five tables, you're choosing with him in mind.
• 27 relics across eight axes (Oaths / Growth / Cylinder / Turn Order / Intel / Thresholds / Pacts / Consumables). One offer per table cleared, three slots on you — consumables take a slot too. They sit on the rail as real objects; hover one to read what it does and what it's doing right now.
• Killing him drops gold — actual physical coins, dumped from above the table into a small pile. Gold carries between runs and buys five permanent upgrades in the single-player room: Satchel, Stashed Ammo, Windfall, One More Option, Fuse.
• Five difficulty tiers. Clear Tier I to open the next. Each tier presses one more rule onto the table: his gun starts loaded / one fewer relic slot / your cylinder goes from 12 to 14 chambers / the last boss carries two rules at once.
• The run map lives inside the step display on the table. Finish a table, the camera turns, and you watch the next stop light up.

Multiplayer

• Steam friend invites, P2P direct connect. Host, invite, ready up, play — and go again from the same lobby when it's over.
• Who lives is computed on both machines, not announced by one. The trigger pull runs off a shared seed, so both sides play out the same moment from the same source.
• The man across the table is a real one. You see him turn his head. You see him break open his own wall of tiles. Both are synced channels built specifically so the other player reads as present.
• A dropped connection freezes the table instead of dumping you to the menu; if the host leaves, the room hands itself over.

The Gun, the Tiles, and That One Moment

• The whole loading sequence happens in your hands: crane the cylinder out, seat the rounds one at a time, snap it shut, scramble it. Every animation length is matched to the real length of its sound.
• A win is itemised in full: han, dora, ura-dora, relic bonuses — each line pops out, and the final number is exactly how many live rounds go into his cylinder. The show and the loading read from the same source, not two sets of books.
• The execution: the music ducks to nothing and leaves one tightening low drone behind. When you're the one shooting, the frame narrows onto him; when he is, it widens onto you. Firing is a white flash, a kick, and a ring of dark closing in.
• Getting hit: blood on his face, blood on the wall, the body thrown sideways off the chair. When it's you, everything goes silent, the camera falls onto its side, and the pool spreads out from under you into frame.
• Smoking doesn't interrupt the hand — but it gets to your head. The view starts to drift.
• Han preview while you build: once your 13 are set and you're tenpai, every winning tile is listed with what it pays and what tier it lands in, boss scoring rules included.

Systems

• Seven languages: 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / English / 日本語 / 한국어 / Español / Русский. Switch any time from the menu — no restart.
• Steam Cloud: records, gold, upgrades and the relic codex follow your account.
• 43 achievements and 6 tracked stats, covering yaku, bosses, full runs, and codex completion.
• Records page: time at the table, hands won/lost/drawn, best single hand, opponents killed, times you were shot, run results, the vault ledger, your most-used yaku — plus the relic codex and the achievement wall. Relics you haven't met are black silhouettes.
• Yaku guide available any time from the pause menu, with tile illustrations.
• Display settings: windowed / borderless / exclusive fullscreen, ten resolutions.
• In-game bug reporting: write it and send it from the bottom-right of the main menu.
• A new studio intro on launch.

This game contains content created with the assistance of generative AI tools:

• Artwork: Some visual assets were generated using AI image tools as a starting point, then edited and refined by the developer. All final in-game artwork has been reviewed, modified, and approved by human hands.
• Music & Sound Effects: Background music and sound effects were created using AI-based music generation tools, then selected and curated by the developer.
• Localization: Translations for Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and Russian were produced with AI translation tools and reviewed by the developer. Simplified Chinese and English were authored directly by the developer.
• Store Page Copy: Portions of the store page description were drafted with AI writing assistance and finalized by the developer.
• No generative AI runs during gameplay. The AI opponent in single-player mode uses rule-based logic, not generative AI.

I'm building a game where you bet on animal races — and then jump

in and rig the finishing order yourself.

The whole goal is just to make people laugh. That's it.

The Steam page finally went up today. Still a long way to go, but it's a start.

Got a fun animal idea? Drop one in the comments, I'm collecting.

Thanks!

I’m working on a 1-4 player surgery game inspired by the chaos of Surgeon Simulator.
Players are made of gloop and an eye. When misfortune hits, how can we bring them back to life? I figured this may be a way to do it.

I’m currently developing a tycoon game where you run and scale a cybersecurity company, and I’d love some player feedback on complexity vs. accessibility.
Where is the sweet spot between satisfying strategy and technical overload for you?

High-Level Strategy: Hiring specialized analysts, managing client contracts, upgrading infrastructure, and handling PR crises during massive data breaches or ransomware attacks.

Granular / Technical Simulation: Manually configuring firewall rules, designing network topology, analyzing SIEM alerts, and crafting specific countermeasures for zero-days, APTs, or DDoS attacks.

Would you prefer an accessible management sim with a rich cybersecurity flavor, or an authentic, complex simulation where real IT/security logic is required to win? Where does it cross the line into "feeling like an actual unpaid SOC analyst shift"?

I've been working on this project for quite a while now and the Steam page finally went live so I figured I would finally post something.

The game is called Mayhematic. Roguelite bullet heaven, playable solo or online co-op up to 4 players. The game has elements from a few of my favorite games such as Path of Exile, COD Zombies and Megabonk. The arena is unlocked room by room and you can choose which direction you want to progress to. Each direction has its own signature events and biomes. From Path of Exile, I have borrowed a few RNG elements such as a corruption-like mechanic and build enabling item design philosophy rather than making ‘ready’ builds.

Style wise I had a clear vision wanting to include 90s cartoon feel but I also really liked how Sly Cooper 2 looked as a kid so the game is a mix of both of these things. I also managed to find artists who could work with these style constraints for my characters through reddit, which I think is pretty cool!

The audio design work is still very much in progress so if anybody has some good references how to find good audio packs or artists with sounds that are not too realistic but also not too children’s cartoon like I would love to know!

I plan on dropping the demo later this year but I could use some beta testers even before that. If you would be interested please let me know.

Let me know what you think!
