Debut title occult deck-burner ‘Burn With Me’ haunts PC via Steam Oct. 12, 2026
LISBON, PORTUGAL – August 17, 2026 – Inner Pocket, a new label co-founded by industry veterans from CRITICAL REFLEX, Gaijin Entertainment, and indie studio Nozomu Games, launches today. By combining extensive experience across games marketing, publishing services, development, and business strategy, the Inner Pocket team aims to utilize its well-rounded composition to empower indie studios.
As a publisher, Inner Pocket will deliver a curated library of titles and recommendations to audiences seeking memorable experiences that stick with players for years to come. Inner Pocket seeks to elevate and support games that are intimate and engaging, capable of immersing players and providing quality time. Inner Pocket games are deliberate and personal, active and driven forward by compelling stories that reward both introspection and discussion, not unlike a good book.
The team at Inner Pocket will assist developers from start to finish. This includes positioning and go-to-market counsel, store-page setup and optimization services, PR and creator outreach, press kit creation, trailer production, paid marketing and user acquisition, localization services, functional QA and release-readiness support, and platform relations. Porting and additional production services may be available depending on project details and final agreement.
Inner Pocket has partnered with Nozomu Games to bring narrative-rich occult deck-burner Burn With Me to PC via Steam as one of the publisher’s debut titles, set for release on October 12, 2026.
In addition to its traditional publishing efforts, Inner Pocket aims to foster a community of gamers through curation efforts on Steam, YouTube, and Discord. Inner Pocket plans to launch a bespoke list of compelling, tonally interesting titles on Steam through its official Curator page.
“We’re choosing a pretty specific niche from the start, and we’re going to be very picky about the games we publish,” said Yaroslav “Pangolin” Kadyshen, Co-founder of Inner Pocket. “At the same time, there are already great titles out there that capture exactly the kind of feeling we’re after. We want to help grow this space in two ways: as a publisher, by supporting developers making curiosity games and helping more of them get made; and as a curator, by surfacing the great ones that are already out there. The kind you still think about years later – the games you keep close to your heart.”
