[Canada, Toronto] February 2, 2026— Fans of RTS and grand strategy, it’s time to sharpen your maps and ledgers. The City States: Medieval demo is live now on Steam, offering a guided first look at a deep medieval strategy experience. Developed by Reverie World Studios and published in partnership with indie.io, the demo invites players to step into a world shaped by ambition, influence, and long-term decision-making.

City States: Medieval is a grand strategy game where power is earned through trade, diplomacy, and carefully chosen military campaigns. Players guide ambitious medieval city-states across a living world, managing economic networks, navigating shifting alliances, and responding to threats both at home and abroad.

Steam Store Page – https://store.steampowered.com/app/4066390/City_States_Medieval/

Central to every decision is a single Hero,  the player’s leader and strategic anchor. This Hero doesn’t simply provide passive bonuses; their physical presence determines how the game is played. When stationed in a city, players gain direct real-time control, enabling rapid RTS-style construction, hands-on city defense, and active command of armies. When the Hero leaves, the city continues to function on the world map, but progress slows, and conflicts are resolved at a higher strategic level.

This creates a constant strategic push and pull for players. Keeping the Hero at home strengthens infrastructure and defenses, while sending them into the wider world opens expansion opportunities. As the Hero gains levels and new abilities, their influence over the fate of the city-state grows, deepening the long-term strategy and forcing players to reassess where their leader is needed most.

Demo Features:

The demo is taken directly from one of the game’s three full campaigns, placing players in the opening chapter of the Republic of Genoa storyline, offering players 3.5–4 hours of meaningful progression. Over the course of play, players will travel across the medieval world — from the Holy Land to Italy — encountering distinct cultures, cities, and political landscapes while learning how economic networks, political relationships, and military conflicts interconnect. 

Players are given room to experiment and make long-term decisions, and experience how trade, diplomacy, and warfare shape the rise of a city-state over time. In the finished game, this campaign spans 25–30 hours, making the demo a substantial introduction to the systems and pacing of the full experience. 

Players can try the City States: Medieval demo, now available on Steam. To stay up to date on development Wishlist and follow on Steam.

A side-scrolling nightmare of ink, decay, and blasphemy comes to life from the developers of The Textorcist

[February 3 2026, Rome, Italy] – The Dying Lands cry out as a new demo for MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme, inspired by the award-winning tabletop RPG, is available now on Steam. Set in the grimdark world of MÖRK BORG, this doom-metal action RPG from the team behind The Textorcist, casts players as Cursed Walkers – desperate antiheroes clawing through filth, violence, and heresy at the end of all things, always seconds from death.

Players awaken in Galgenbeck, a festering sprawl beneath the black spires of a doomed cathedral. The Two-headed Basilisks demand an offering to delay the Apocalypse, setting players on a bleak path through the demo’s available quests and locations. With three playable classes in the demo, combat is dynamic and unforgiving, and progression is harsh—designed to give players a concentrated taste of the tone, systems, and cruelty that define MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme.

MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme brings the world of MÖRK BORG to video games as a side-scrolling, semi-procedural action RPG forged in ink, filth, and blasphemy. Drawing from the tabletop game’s infamous visual identity, the world is a violent collage of decay, blood, and apocalyptic ruin, where every screen feels hostile and deliberate. Combat is brutal and unforgiving, demanding ruthless positioning, timing, and sacrifice. Catastrophic events and irreversible choices grind players down as they claw through a dying world that offers no salvation, only survival or a faster end.

Features:

• A Dying World Made in Ink and Filth: Explore the grimdark lands of MÖRK BORG through a graphic style inspired directly by the iconic tabletop book, rendered in stark contrasts and apocalyptic decay.
• Unforgiving, Tactical Combat: Evade crushing flails and brutal strikes in a dynamic combat system that rewards ruthless positioning, timing, and hard decisions, always knowing that you are seconds from death.
• Cursed Walkers, Not Heroes: Play as the vilest scum crawling toward the end of all things, with multiple classes wielding terrible abilities and even worse consequences.
• Quests at the Edge of the Apocalypse: Face horrific main and side quests that test your skills and resolve as the world hurtles toward inevitable ruin.
• Light ARPG Systems, Heavy Consequences: RPG mechanics stay lean and vicious, letting brutal choices, catastrophic events, and raw survival define every playthrough.

Ready your omens and descend into darkness — play the MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme demo on Steam now!.

About Mehuman Games
Mehuman Games is a team of nearly twenty professionals – from artists to gameplay designers to programmers. At the heart of this passionate group are members of the former Movie Games Lunarium – the studio responsible for the undeniably successful games Lust from Beyond and Lust for Darkness. Currently we are combining our passion for telling unique stories with the latest technological solutions of the Unreal 5 engine to venture into the opportunities of combining epic storytelling with open world sandbox gameplay. 

About Toplitz Productions
The German-Austrian publisher, whose name originates from the mysterious Toplitz Lake in the heart of Austria, develops and publishes games with “heart & soul” for all platforms. The company consists of a healthy mix of experienced industry veterans and young talents, all of whom are passionate gamers. They enjoy working with creative developers on many exciting titles, such as those from the “Dynasty” and “Giant” series.

A carefully crafted artistic direction that reinforces the game’s visual identity and narrative.

Meridiem is pleased to announce that The Bearer & The Last Flame will feature completely original illustrations created by artists Ion Ander Ramírez Rodríguez and Adrián Lucas Hernández, who is also responsible for the game’s cover design. These works have been created by hand and digitally by the artists, reaffirming the project’s commitment to human creativity and traditional art.

Ion Ander Ramírez Rodríguez, known as Ion Ander ART on social media, has been working as a freelance illustrator for several years. Although he practices various traditional techniques, such as oil painting and charcoal, he has specialised in digital techniques, which are currently the main focus of his work.

Throughout his career as an artist, he has collaborated as a cover artist and illustrator for several publishing houses (Eunate, Nowevolution, etc.), and has also worked in the field of board games and video games. He has also published several books on folklore and mythology through Amazon, one of the main themes of his most personal work.

He currently combines his work as a freelancer with his presence at numerous art conventions in Spain and Europe, where he presents and sells his own original work.

Adrián Lucas Hernández is an illustrator born in Tenerife, drawn to the art profession from a very young age thanks to impressive collections of storybooks his parents brought him, featuring fantastic illustrations made with pencil, tempera, and watercolor.

He is passionate about the narrative aspect of illustration and about telling stories through images. For this reason, he combines his work as a storyboard artist for animation companies (such as Mondo TV and currently Red Animation) with creating illustrations, either by collaborating with publishing houses (especially Celaeno Books on their Choose Cthulhu saga) or with video game studios.

Although he began in the video game industry creating concept art for Path Games, he produced his first cover art with Meridiem for the video game The Bearer & the Last Flame. Thanks to this, he has been able to collaborate with other studios and publishers, including Dojo System, Guarida Games, and Selecta Play, leaving his signature on games such as Dino Punk, Among Ashes, Die by Anything, and Dark Mass.
