Build, Trade, and Conquer the Medieval World  in City States: Medieval – Demo Available Now on Steam

[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.

  • An All-Star Voice Cast:  Featuring Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Baldur’s Gate 3), Francesca Meaux (Hades), Sarah Grayson (Gone Home, Hades II), Kylie Clark, and the game’s creator, Cyrus Nemati (Hades, Pyre).

A Doom-Metal Apocalypse Unleashed in the MÖRK BORG Heresy SupremeDemo

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!.
