About Sassy Chap Games

Sassy Chap Games was founded by two voice actors in 2018: Ray Chase and Robbie Daymond. Their first game, Date Everything!, was conceived as a fun project that played to their strengths – voice acting, writing, and sound and music production. Over the next four years, they would slowly gather a team of miscreants to join their wacky band and put together a vertical slice that eventually caught the attention of legendary publisher Team17. 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.

RibCage Games unveils a new look at its rhythm-action roguelite, where Hi-Fi Rush combat meets Hades runs, with an expanded demo playable through June 22

June 10, 2026 — Independent studio RibCage Games today released a brand-new gameplay trailer for Alpha Nomos, its upcoming rhythm-action roguelite where music is the law of the world. An updated demo is live now on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest (June 15 – 22).

The new trailer showcases refined combat, expanded power-up evolutions and the live-recorded musical weapons that give every fight in Alpha Nomos its own sound. Built on player feedback from earlier playtests, the Next Fest demo introduces a tighter combat loop, new enemy encounters and the studio’s evolving “music-as-mechanic” design where every beat played on rhythm reshapes the soundtrack in real time.

Play as Cello, a tiny puppet adventurer wielding instruments as weapons in a ruined, melody-twisted world. Time attacks to the beat to unleash combos, raise your style meter and unlock musical powerups that don’t just change your stats, they change how you sound. Reverb, Flanger, Delay and other real-world audio effects apply to every strike, turning each run into a unique composition. Two attack buttons. Countless combos. Played like an instrument.

Cello wakes in a shattered world overrun by corrupted puppets, where a mysterious force known as the Alpha Nomos has silenced the music. Alongside her friends, she fights to uncover what destroyed the world, what music truly is and what role she plays in restoring its rhythm.

“We didn’t want rhythm bolted on top of an action game; we wanted it to be the action. Every hit, every dodge, every upgrade lives on the beat. This trailer is the first time you can really see that click into place.” said RibCage.

Key Features

• Rhythm-driven combat – Hit on the beat to deal more damage and unlock combos.
• Live-recorded weapons – Every instrument is real. Off-beat hits play wrong notes on purpose.
• Audio-effect powerups – Reverb, Flanger, Delay. Each one changes how you play and how you sound.
• Roguelite runs that compose themselves – Every build becomes a new track.
• Handcrafted world – Abandoned circuses, corrupted toys, music-reactive environments.
• Two buttons, endless expression – Simple to start. Deep to master.

Availability

The Alpha Nomos demo is live now on Steam for the duration of Steam Next Fest (June 15 – 22). Wishlist Alpha Nomos, play the demo and stay tuned for more announcements ahead of the Q3 2026 launch.

About RibCage Games

For Honor’s Year 10 Season 2, called Unleashed, kicked off today, bringing a new Hero skin and bundles for Sohei, a terrifying throwback event, new Battle and Legacy passes (and rewards), and Hero Fests. In Unleashed, Khatun’s Peace rewards obedience and dooms the unwanted. When the Samurai clan hosts a feast, they unveil a statue of Khatun to show their allegiance, but it came with a price: old tools had to be discarded, and the Sohei went on a suicide mission. Against all odds, he survived, and a stranger gifted him an Oni mask to give him strength and courage to exact his revenge. He attacks the feast, maiming all in attendance.

Airport Contraband, the roguelike Customs Officer simulation game, monitors departures and arrivals in a demo during Steam Next Fest, offering a first glimpse of life on the job at Caldora Airport!

Guard the gateway to an island paradise with a seedy underbelly. Inspect passengers’ travel documents, baggage, and clothing to clear them for travel – while confiscating unlawful items they might try to sneak through security.

Examine incoming cargo and luggage, and rank up through the persistent progression system to unlock new tools of the trade like magnetometers and stun guns to detect contraband and stop smugglers in their tracks.  Beware the peering eyes of the local cartel, and weigh the consequences of their demands if you want to keep your job – and your life.
