KEY FEATURES

  • COOK, SERVE, HIT YOUR QUOTA: You and your crew are hired to participate in an experiment run by the Paragon Corporation. It seems like a standard fast-food gig: grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, work the register, hit your quota, and keep the customers happy. What could go wrong?
  • ESCAPE THE NIGHTMARE: Every shift is a ticking clock – the kitchen always wins eventually. Once the simulation collapses, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. The iconic mascot is back for blood – and you only have one chance to escape!
  • THE WALLS ARE LISTENING: The game reacts to what you say on mic. Speak the wrong word, and Asset Joy will hear you. Speak the right incantation, and the kitchen may warp to your advantage. Learn how to use your words properly… and what to never say aloud if you don’t want to anger the beast.
  • EVERY SHIFT IS UNIQUELY UNHINGED: Over 35 modifiers ensure each run goes off the rails in unique ways. Rush Hour brings additional customers for a more profitable yet more chaotic shift. Profanity Policy punishes the team every time someone swears on mic. Back Burner changes all recipes mid-run. You never know what to expect next!
  • EXTRACT WITH YOUR HARD-EARNED CASH: Escape alive and your earnings come with you! Spend them on boosters, sacrifice them to the ascension ritual to move the story forward, or gamble them on harder contracts for bigger payouts.
  • HAPPY’S HUMBLE SAGA CONTINUES: BURGATORY is the next chapter in the Scythe Studios Universe, and a direct successor to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm, peeling back another layer of the Paragon Corporation’s reality-warping simulation program. Ready to go down the rabbit hole again?

DEMO OUT NOW: SKILL-BASED FOOTBALL SIM ‘STRIKERS CLUB’ JOINS STEAM NEXT FEST

Enjoy a demo of this fast-paced, physics-forward football game 

GHENT, Belgium, June 11, 2026 | Oddshot Games, the Belgian indie studio behind the multiplayer hockey hit Slapshot: Rebound, today announced that Strikers Club, its free-to-play, physics-driven football simulation, has joined Steam Next Fest with a demo available to play now through June 25th. 

For Football Fans
Strikers Club is a competitive sports game designed for football fans who want a digital but authentic on-field experience. Following the path of their previous title, Strikers Club continues the trend of bringing real-life sports to the virtual world. Differentiating itself from arcade sports games, the physics-forward gameplay puts players in total control of their actions, delivering a fast-paced, skill-driven experience that rewards precision and timing.

Every Move Counts
You can’t get away with button-mashing in Strikers Club. With a focus on skilled gameplay, every second and every move counts. Dribble the ball to move around the field, maintain control over your direction and speed, outplay opponents and set up shots, or pass to your teammates to run a play. When kicking, use your camera to aim your shot, and utilize skill moves to dodge around other players with flair. If fighting for your life up and down the field isn’t for you, you can try goalie mode, using specific goalie mechanics when you’re in position to defend your goal. Keyboard and controller compatible!

With the world’s eyes on football this summer, Strikers Club invites fans to swap the couch for the pitch and play out their own match-day stories. 

Visitors During Steam Next Fest Can Look Forward To:

  • Realistic Football Match Flow – In-game matches follow the same structure as real life. Game rules include throw-ins, corner kicks, offside, fouls, and everything else you would expect from a football match.
  • Competitive Multiplayer Matches – Playing with real people, against real people, success depends on your skills and expertise. Master skill moves and collaborate with your teammates on your game plan.
  • Custom Games – Take a break from competitive matches and step into custom games. Challenge a rival to a serious 1v1, or emulate real life in 11v11.
  • Player Customization – Show your style and pick a fit that makes you stand out on the playing field! Customizations include jerseys, shorts, gloves, shoes, accessories, and more.
  • Multiple Playstyles – One shoe doesn’t fit all! Explore the different playstyles with both offensive and defensive skills, or just throw in some extra flair to truly express yourself.
  • Full Foul System – Experience a realistic foul system with yellow and red cards, plus free kicks.

Strikers Club is coming soon to Steam, but the demo is available now for all to try!

GAME ANNOUNCEMENT: HAUNT YOUR FRIENDS IN VIRAL HORROR COMEDY CO-OP TITLE, ‘HAUNTED HEIST’ 

Team up for rounds of gem heisting as you shank, shoot, and sabotage your friends.

Seattle, Washington, 11 June 2026 | Indie game studio (and best friend duo) autotroph games is excited to announce Haunted Heist, a hilariously hostile party game coming soon to Steam. Step inside a maze-like luxury mansion and choose a side: Defend your home turf as a cryptid-like Trickster, or join the ragtag group of Heisters looking to pull off a daring gem heist. The game, which has amassed over 50M views across social media platforms, will be available on Steam later this year.

A Party Game Made By Friends, For Friends 
Drawing influence from popular co-op horror games like Lethal Company and Dead by Daylight, fun meets fright in this heist! Drop into the Tricksters’ procedurally generated mansion and assume your role as Heister or Trickster; Heisters receive a flashlight to guide the way and a gun for protection, while Tricksters enjoy night vision and a suite of tools for sabotage. As a Heister, listen for the pitter-patter of murderous bare footsteps and avoid enemy Tricksters lurking on the walls or in the shadows. Each party has a clear objective to win: Heisters must collect all of the gems scattered around the map and return them to their home base before the 10-minute timer runs out, while Tricksters aim to dispose of or sabotage Heisters. Suited for 3-10 players, grab your friends and prepare to outwit opponents, survive the haunt, and win before time runs out. 

He’s Right Behind Me, Isn’t He?  
Proximity chat means limited comms, so be sure to warn your fellow Heisters of nearby threats using walkie-talkies, or use fast reflexes to fight back with your handgun. If a teammate is downed, revive them with defibrillators, or abandon the body so they may oversee the chaos in third-person spectator mode. In addition to teamwork, Heisters also have a suite of tools and power-ups at their disposal. These abilities can restore depleted resources, enhance equipment, or assist with navigating the dark halls. Be mindful to conserve energy, however, as these boons will quickly drain your battery power. Coordinating power-ups and locating nearby batteries is essential, as Tricksters are lurking with abilities of their own.

Harness Teamwork to Survive the Haunt
Beware Heisters: Tricksters have a wide variety of…tricks up their sleeves. Invisibility, muting, ambush attacks, and more—each with cooldowns that reward clever timing under pressure. Tricksters can harass, mislead, and terrify their opponents, making every room or hallway a potential trap. Voice-swapping abilities confuse friend with foe, and 1:1 disguises that leverage recordings of players’ past voice notes turn trust into a weapon of destruction. Skilled Tricksters mix mind games with lethal ambushes, becoming an unpredictable and unsettling force of chaos. Split from your group of Heisters, and you’re likely to meet a quick demise 

Join the Discord for A Chance to Playtest Haunted Heist!
Looking to try out Haunted Heist? Join the Discord before June 27th for access to the upcoming playtest! Be a part of the first group of players to check out the new character style overhaul (led by former Lead Animator and Character Modeler of the indie hit Sable, Micah Holland of MonitorHead Studios) and other improvements available in the full game. 

Gameplay Features:

  • Asymmetrical PvP Mayhem – Heisters work together to gather gems while Tricksters sabotage, deceive, and hunt them through a haunted mansion.
  • 3–10 Player Party Chaos – Perfect for friends, stream nights, and community games with flexible team sizes. High chaos, proximity chat, and emergent storytelling create highlight-worthy moments every session.
  • Fast, Replayable Rounds – Quick matches encourage experimentation, laughs, and revenge rematches. Every round takes place in a new layout with fresh routes and hiding spots.
  • Unhinged Trickster Abilities – Invisibility, disguises, night vision, voice swapping, muting, ambush attacks, and more—each with cooldowns that reward clever timing.  
  • Combat & Tools for Heisters – Utilize handguns, flashlights, flares, and defibrillators while scrounging for powerups that enhance your gear.

About Sassy Chap Games

Sassy Chap Games was founded by two voice actors in 2018: Ray Chase and Robbie Daymond.

Since late 2022, this part-time project morphed into full-time infatuation as the initial dream of creating a world with 100 dateable characters was realized. Now a company 50+ strong, Sassy Chap Games hopes that Date Everything! lives up to its lofty promise.

Promotional Website
Store Page

On the Spice side everything’s coming up Tomoaki!

Somehow or other, Tomoaki became the true master of the Kamishiro estate, rather than just serving in the role as a part-time job. Bit by bit, he’s been learning how to conduct himself and perform his duties as head of house. It’s been a very busy time for him, but finally he gets one precious week off. Who will he spend it with and how?

It’s a return to the spicy do-whatever-you-want life of master!

On the Sugar side enjoy a sweet life with a former butler.

Rather than returning to his old life when his time as part-time master ends, the time he spent at the estate drastically changed the course of his life and that of one of his butlers. Enjoy these bitter-sweet “what if” tales of former master and former butler as they’ve developed a relationship that’s more than friendship, but not quite love, continuing each of the butlers’ “romantic” endings from the original game.

Key Features:

  • Two flavors of story: spicy and sweet: The “spicy” story continues from the “true” ending of the original game where Tomoaki has inherited the Kamishiro estate, and follows the same format of selecting events on the mansion map.
    On the sugary “sweet” side, follow the romantic endings with the butlers from the original game, but this time from the butlers’ perspectives. How will they navigate their new and complicated relationships with Tomoaki? Or their lives outside the comfort of the estate?
  • Includes the bonus “Reminiscence” short story: Unlock the Reminiscence short story and retrace the steps of a certain mysterious young member of the Kamishiro family in the 1950s—what destiny awaits him?
  • A variety of quality of life features: Including the updated interface from the Double Edition release of the game, scene replay, and new for the English release a toggle to enable or disable mosaics during adult scenes.
