The unique indie publisher spills its guts with an eerie new broadcast featuring over a dozen titles from across its genre-bending line-up
NICOSIA, Cyprus – Oct. 14, 2026 –CRITICAL REFLEX, the indie publisher behind mind-melting experiences like the award-winning Mouthwashing and paranoia-inducing No, I’m not a Human, is bringing CRITICAL REFLEX TIME back on October 20, immediately following the ID@Xbox Showcase! Following the success of last year’s inaugural show, CRITICAL REFLEX TIME returns for a second round bursting at the seams with big announcements, brand-new trailers, and other exciting surprises from some of the publisher’s biggest fan-favorite titles.
Tune in for CRITICAL REFLEX TIME on Tuesday, October 20, at 10:30am PT / 1:30pm ET / 6:30pm BST on YouTube
Here’s just a taste of the games that will be featured in this year’s CRITICAL REFLEX TIME:
- Pipes.exe, the first-person co-op horror game where up to four low-level QA employees must navigate bizarre testing environments and survive the brutal realities of corporate life.
- Tiny Chills, a narrative mystery in which you’ll clean people’s ears in a quiet town plagued by disappearances, grotesque anomalies, and things that should never be found beneath human skin.
- Being and Becoming, a surreal metroidvania set in a dying kingdom held together by the collective dream of thousands of would-be martyrs.
- Drowned Lake, a found-footage horror investigation into the disappearance of an amateur documentarian.
But that’s only what we’re willing to tell you…
CRITICAL REFLEX TIME will also bring news from some of CRITICAL REFLEX’s biggest hits, a few much-anticipated surprises for console players, and a seat at the table for something deeply unsettling…
