Hosted by the unhinged Party Party Parrot inside an abandoned arcade hall, Mana Brigade’s elimination game show lets players decide on future mini-games via Steam community goals.
SKÖVDE, Sweden (October 22, 2026) — Swedish indie studio Mana Brigade has announced Plushie Party, a high-intensity multiplayer party game arriving on Steam. Built in Gemu, a Swedish game engine startup, the game drops battered plush toys into an abandoned arcade to fight. Winners earn a full refurbishment and a loving new home; losers get dropped into a shredder and turned into stuffing.
Refurbished or Recycled
Under the flickering neon glow of an abandoned arcade hall, host Party Party Parrot runs a ruthless underground game show. Two to six players battle through lightning-fast survival mini-games staged directly inside retro cabinets packed with collapsing floors and sudden-death traps.
Powered by Gemu Engine’s destructible physics, damage is completely tactile. In this show, second place does not exist: winners get patched up for adoption, while losers drop straight into the shredder below.
Key Features
- Burst-at-the-Seams Slapstick: Soft, cuddly plushies clash in physics-driven arenas where heavy hits tear seams and losers explode into loose stuffing.
- 15+ Lethal Arcade Mini-Games: Scramble across disintegrating stages, dodge stage traps, and outlast friends inside retro machines.
- 2 to 6 Player Online Multiplayer: Built for quick-fire party rivalries, drop-in elimination rounds, and instant rematches.
- Powered by Gemu Engine: Experience dynamic soft-body destruction, bouncy environmental physics, and smooth online gameplay built from the ground up.
Community Goals: Help Direct the Carnage
To celebrate the reveal, Mana Brigade has launched Steam wishlist milestones to unlock brand-new mini-games ahead of launch. Players can also join the official Discord server to help select future mini-games alongside the developers.
