DOG WITCH – THE LUDICROUS DICE-AND-CARD ROGUELIKE ONLY PLAYTESTED BY AN ELDERLY MAN WHO HAD NEVER PLAYED A VIDEOGAME BEFORE – LAUNCHES ON STEAM NOVEMBER 5

Throw dice and unleash powerful combos in this endlessly replayable, bite-sized roguelike produced by acclaimed game designer Rami Ismail!

UTRECHT, Netherlands Oct. 9, 2025 Mystic Forge and solo developer Heckmouse, in partnership with producer Rami Ismail, are thrilled to reveal that DOG WITCH, the turn-based, deck-building roguelike, will launch on Steam on Nov. 5, 2025. In this bite-sized adventure with endless replayability, you’ll become the legendary Dog Witch – half doggo, half witch, all magical mutt – and throw dice to unleash powerful combos in a strategic experience that combines the best of dice-driven roguelikes and deck-builders. Check out the new trailer and try out the game’s free demo on Steam now!

“I started working on DOG WITCH in late 2019 with the goal of capturing the feeling of mastering a deep, punishing game like Magic: The Gathering and distilling it into something that plays like an approachable arcade experience,” said Andy Runyon (Heckmouse). “During this time, I’ve been very lucky to have a single tester, my mom’s retired husband, a chess and bridge player with no nerd game experience, to shape the game just by gauging his pure, caveman-level-gamer reactions to things. A lot has changed in my life since then, but I remained obsessed with card game mechanics. Yes, there’s a cute dog, and yes, you can pet it. But the game is about mastery.”

If you enjoy the strategic layering of games like Slay the Spire or the dice-rolling unpredictability of Dicey Dungeons, DOG WITCH offers a deeply replayable adventure that will keep you discovering new angles run after run. You’re on a mission to overthrow your former owner, the Mad Master Wizard, journeying through short and snappy runs where you’ll discover over 150 magical artifacts (and their corrupted counterparts), summon unpredictable allies, and master the whims of enchanted dice.

Face off against an eclectic group of enemies and enchanted creatures inspired by the likes of Adventure Time and more in a playful dice-and-card-powered roguelike where every roll sparks comedic chaos. But don’t let the cute art style fool you – this is a dangerous world and you’ll need to keep yourself on a tight leash to get your treats!

🐕 Key Features

  • Dice-Driven Mayhem: Every dice roll fuels your spells, powers up combos, and triggers unpredictable item effects. No passive rolling – just fast-paced, high-stakes action that keeps every run fresh! 
  • Short & Snappy Runs with Endless Replay: The more you experiment, the deeper the strategies become! Dive into short sessions that each feel distinct thanks to randomized items and upgrades. Master the tension between luck and planning to optimize each run.
  • Over 150 Items (Plus “Corrupted” Twists): Mix and match spells, relics, and silly dog-themed gear, then push your luck with corrupted variants for extra power (and extra risk).
  • Absurdly Quirky Enemies: Battle gun-wielding Russian Dolls, vengeful Cat Ladies, and questionable Vending Machines. Each encounter is a chaotic puzzle, testing your synergy-building skills in unexpected ways.
  • Summon Doggo Friends: Need friends? Summon laser ponies, gun-toting rats, skeleton sidekicks and more to fight by your side. Pair them with relics and spells to trigger clever chain reactions that tip even the wildest battles in your favor.
  • Switch Up Your Style, Switch Up Your Strategies: Once you think that you have mastered the game, try on different Dog Witch hats. Each introduces its own unique twists and challenges, requiring clever new strategies to overcome. 
  • Craft Your Own Magical Pup: Choose your fur, hat, bark, and even your chonk level. Recreate your own pet or conjure something cursed!

The Early Access release will turn the Grid into a layered maze. Go deeper through its layers in your search for the Core Node as the enemies around you scale in power and complexity.

The playtime of each layer is roughly 40 minutes and gives players a natural pause point to rethink strategies or to save and resume playing another time.

Early Access launches with two playable characters, each with a unique card pool, map skills, Commands, and Drivers that support distinct playstyles:

  • Darwin, the Maker | Darwin introduces new mechanics via his Assist and Script cards, “on discard” effects, and the Augment keyword. He wields twice as many Commands as Ursa and has his own set of Drivers that synergize with his archetypes.

The 10 November Early Access Launch is just the start for the game; the developers will continuously add updates, from major changes such as new playable characters, to smaller balance tweaks and fixes. Player engagement is essential for the team, and they will be in constant contact with their community, gathering feedback and input on how to make Into The Grid the best possible experience for its fans.

About the game

Into The Grid is a cyberpunk roguelike deckbuilder about hacking and taking down the evil mega corporations that control the world from the shadows. Build and upgrade a deck of powerful programs. Unlock perks and skills, and unleash digital hell on your enemies.

It’s a game about the personal stories behind each of these hackers and their Factions. The narrative and worldbuilding will be another aspect that sets the game apart from others in the genre.*

*The story & lore is a work in progress and will be built upon over the course of the Early Access period.

Key Features

  • An exciting blend of Deckbuilding, Card Battler and Dungeon Crawler – Ever wondered what the love child of a Roguelike Deckbuilder and a Tabletop Boardgame would look like? Here’s the answer: Into The Grid features action-packed card battles and deeply tactical map exploration with resource management.
  • Death to dead draws – Into The Grid has a unique dual-resource system where each card is played for its effect while simultaneously generating Virtual Memory (VIM), which allows the player to take advantage of even the most suboptimal hands. Use VIM to activate your Commands during battle and obliterate your enemies’ defences!
  • Exploit the Commands – Commands are powerful unlockable skills that can be the difference between victory and defeat. Choose them wisely, sync them with your deck, and strategically deploy them for knockout wins.
  • Tactical Dungeon Crawler-like navigation – The Grid is the infinite digital landscape where information lives. Full of riches and dangers, it’s a place where only the sharpest minds can thrive. Experience a layer of depth never seen before in the genre; consider every move as if it were your last… because it might be. Fight or flee? Visit this area now or later? Cash in a reward immediately, or hold on to it for an even bigger payoff? The choice is yours, as well as the punishment and the profit.
  • Unveil the stories behind the Hackers– Into The Grid will include four* distinct characters, each with their own story arc, gameplay mechanics, art, and much more. Every playable hacker belongs to a different Faction that determines the hacker’s ethos and their reasons to be outlaws.

*Note: There will be two playable hackers at Early Access Launch.

Classic RTS remastered in Outlive 25! Try the demo during Steam Next Fest

Play the first three stages for free, just like in 2000!

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, October 9th, 2025 – Continuum Entertainment, in partnership with CriticalLeap, will be releasing a demo of Outlive 25, the remaster of their classic 2000 RTS game rebuilt by the original developers for an all-new era! Get ready for a battle of unprecedented proportions, fight to achieve supremacy—and above all—to ensure humanity’s survival.

For more information on Outlive 25:
Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2948680/Outlive_25/
Visit the Continuum Entertainment website: https://continuum.com.br/

Outlive 25’s Steam Next Fest demo will be available from October 10th at 10am PT – October 20th at 10am PT. Just as Outlive 25 is a remaster of Outlive, its demo is a remake of the original game’s demo from 2000, featuring a standalone campaign that serves as a prologue to the events of the three main campaigns, as well as a tutorial to familiarize new players with the genre. Feedback gathered here will be used to enhance the final version, just as it was 25 years ago!

The full game will let players choose between two factions, Humans and Robots, as you decide the fate of earth across three epic story campaigns. Set in a future where machines have risen to wage war against their creators and the world is suffering a scarcity of natural resources, you must pick a side and make your play for world domination. Customize your units’ AI, allowing you to focus on base building, exploring the terrain, or launching crushing attacks against your enemies.

Outlive 25 brings back the beloved 16-player multiplayer mode and a fully rebuilt Campaign Editor allowing players to create and share their own maps, missions, or even full campaigns. Use custom event scripting to generate controlled actions and iconic moments, and design your own game modes where the only limit is your creativity and imagination!

Outlive was among the first Brazilian games to gain global recognition and success, yet it’s not been easily accessible for several years as technology has advanced in the past quarter century,” said Rodrigo Dal’Asta, co-founder of Continuum Entertainment. “That said, we didn’t simply want to port the original Outlive to modern hardware, as there was so much potential for improvement. We plan to add ranking boards, even more customization options, and enhanced presentation. Outlive 25 takes everything that was great about retro RTS games and infuses it with a jolt of contemporary polish and accessibility for the ultimate fusion of old and new!”

Features:

  • Research Tree: Upgrade your units and make your buildings more efficient during matches, making each battle unique.
  • Espionage & Counterespionage: Scout enemy bases, intercept incoming missiles, and carry out other covert actions.
  • Pathing System: Automate unit behaviors so you can focus entirely on your strategy.
  • Diplomacy: Forge alliances with other armies to take down your opponents.
  • Online Multiplayer: Play against other players to claim the top spot as the ultimate war strategist!

Systemic War Fuses RTS Warfare with Informed, Realistic Infrastructure — New Gameplay Trailer Out Now! 

Get your hands on this modern grand strategy game grounded in real-world roads, rails, and battlefields. Lead your nation to victory this Steam Next Fest! 

[Warsaw, Poland – October 9th] — Only you can lead your nation to victory! Polish development studio Play of Battle is excited to showcase the first gameplay-driven trailer for their upcoming grand strategy RTS game, Systemic War, ahead of its first playable demo this October Next Fest. 

The Steam Next Fest demo marks the first opportunity for players worldwide to step into the battlefield in Systemic War ahead of its planned 2026 release! The demo throws players into an alternate 2022, where Kyiv has fallen under the weight of a massive invasion, and Poland becomes the next target of expansion. Maneuver through hybrid warfare and lead your forces to victory during a full-scale invasion. Focus on defense in-depth to protect your homeland, or adopt a more aggressive posture and pursue active defense; the choice is yours. 

“Our approach to war and peace is truly unique. Conflict in Systemic War doesn’t flip between peace and war—it evolves through diplomatic escalation and de-escalation, with real consequences for your allies’ willingness to support you. While this is still an early demo, we believe we’ve already captured the depth and complexity that Grand Strategy fans are looking for.” — Jarosław Kotowski, Vice President & Game Director, Play of Battle S.A. 

Systemic War is a grand strategy game built on a living infrastructure model where real rail and road networks connect the world. Lead your country in all DIME (Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economy) domains — and take direct command in pivotal battles that faithfully recreate real-world locations, such as the Suwałki Gap or the Battle of Warsaw. 

The co-creator of Systemic War, acclaimed geopolitical expert Dr. Jacek Bartosiak, ensured that the geopolitical aspects are fleshed out and realistic. From conquering on the battlefield to navigating complex diplomatic relations and shaping monetary policy, you’ll mold every aspect of your nation and lead your people to victory. 

Key Features in full version: 

  • Complex RTS Battles Meet Grand-Strategy War: Engage in dynamic RTS battles on a global scale where every decision matters. 
  • Choose your Country, Command your Troops: Choose to ally yourself with any country in the world and guide it from 2008 through 2025, managing everything on the geopolitical spectrum from supply lines to diplomatic struggles. However at launch, six nations will feature unique, dedicated content: the United States, China, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, and Turkey. 
  • Clash in Real World Locations: Duke it out in over 25 handcrafted focal points from around the globe located in flashpoints (Central and Eastern Europe, The Middle East, Korean Peninsula, Asia and the Pacific inc. Taiwan or Guam), complete with their distinctive architecture and landmarks. Maneuver your units through authentic layouts of cities, roads, and bridges. 
  • Monitor Currency, Make Bank: Balance a dynamic macroeconomic system by securing supply lines and monitoring fluctuating currency exchange rates using the modern IS-LM-BP economic model. Will you turn your nation into an export powerhouse, invest abroad, or buy social prosperity on credit? 
  • Experiment, Deploy, Conquer: Command over 150 different units, lead the charge across diverse battlefields. Test the effectiveness of various unit compositions — from open terrain to dense urban environments. 
  • Develop Groundbreaking Technology: Form and cultivate specialized research teams that can help you make informed decisions, such as how to upgrade weapon systems most effectively. The key choice lies in balancing your own technology — enabling domestic production against reliance on imports and diplomatic dependencies. 

Ready to deploy into battle? The Systemic War demo launches this Steam Next Fest on October 13. The full version of the game will allow players to take control of any country in the world during the years 2008–2025.
