Live. Dive. Repeat.
BRISTOL, UK – October 27, 2026 – Publisher Yogscast Games and developer Tech Turtles are excited to announce that the demo for their upcoming eerie underwater survival-exploration game, The Subminer, is diving into Steam Scream V. Following a successful Steam Next Fest, players can continue to explore the treacherous and terrifying depths of the deep sea by downloading the demo on Steam.
The Subminer combines high risk/high reward mining, claustrophobic exploration and underwater survival-exploration into a tense roguelike loop. Set in an alien ocean beneath the icy crust of Enceladus, you must mine your way through a breakable environment while being aware of your surroundings. Each dive is darker and more dangerous, and you never know what terrors are lurking in the shadows.
Progress through a procedurally generated ocean spanning 3 depth levels – each filled with its own secrets, traps and monsters – and upgrade your toolkit at the end of every run to dive a little further each time. But be sure to manage your resources carefully while you are underwater as one small miscalculation could mean death. How deep are you willing to go?

The Subminer demo is available to play right now on Steam!

About Tech Turtles
Tech Turtles is an independent game studio from Türkiye, born from a shared passion for creating games. The journey began with two developers who met during their university graduation project. After stepping into the mobile game industry, they found their excitement for game development slowly fading. Deciding to take a different path, they left their jobs to pursue what they truly cared about. It wasn’t until they joined forces with two like-minded game artists, who shared the same frustrations and ambitions, that Tech Turtles truly came to life. As a team, they are now focused on creating games that reflect their own vision and creativity. With their first title, The Subminer, they are channeling that renewed passion into something they can genuinely call their own.
