TEDDYS FIGHTING FOR FOREVER HOMES; DEMO OUT NOW FOR 2D ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER ‘BEARLY BRAVE.’ 

Strategically Select Weapon Cards; Build Wicked Combos For Devastating Attacks To Survive The Dueling Ring 

Dallas, Texas, August 7, 2025 | Barbaric Games is thrilled to announce that the demo for their debut title, Bearly Brave, is officially out now on Steam! With a backdrop of hand-drawn 2D animation, step into this charmingly deceptive toy shop that comes alive at night. As teddy bears take the stage, they engage in duels in hopes of earning a higher spot on the shelves, increasing their likelihood of being picked and finding a home.

Earn Your Spot On The Shelves

Welcome to Bearly Brave, a roguelike deckbuilder where teddy bears battle for shelf space each night. Play as Toby, a timid plushie with big dreams and even bigger fears, as he fights through a ruthless tournament in a toy store filled with twisted, unhinged competitors, all determined to scatter your stuffing across the store.

Inspired by genre favorites like Balatro and Slay the Spire, Bearly Brave puts a fresh spin on deckbuilding with high-stakes one-turn combos, collectible patches, and tactical strategy. Card placement shapes your entire turn, and matching Brands unlock devastating effects and high-damage payoffs. Begin with a starter deck of 10 cards, pair deadly card combinations, and create synergies in your deck to deal amplified damage. Featuring fast runs, permanent death, and countless synergies, Bearly Brave offers high replayability for everyone.

Master the Combo System & Adapt to Ruthless Enemies 

Players can arrange one combo per round, paying close attention to card energy costs and their total energy limit. Build powerful combos by playing weapon and skill cards together. Match Brands to trigger bonus effects like extra damage, energy, defense, or buttons. Position matters; reorder your cards to maximize their impact, balance their effects, and discard wisely to find that one missing piece. Every turn is a puzzle with explosive potential.

Each boss in Bearly Brave comes with unique mechanics that force you to rethink your strategy. They might add negative cards to your deck, amplify their own attacks, or disrupt your deck in unexpected ways. No two fights feel the same. Stay alert, adjust your build, and fight back with style.

Endless Combos. Absurd Damage. Total Chaos.

With hundreds of synergies and card modifiers to discover, no two runs are ever the same. Bearly Brave offers high replayability—and for those who crave pure madness, Endless Mode lets you chase record-breaking damage and combo chains that spiral completely out of control. As you progress, unlock new cards and upgrades that create fresh synergies for future runs. Between battles, visit Grimble’s Toy Shop to trade buttons from defeated enemies for weapons, patches, and candies. These items can be combined to snowball into massive one-shot damage numbers.

Demo Out Now! 

Those excited for Bearly Brave can now take advantage of an exclusive demo opportunity ahead of the game’s official launch. Play the first 12 stages of the tournament, get a feel for synergy combo cardplay mechanics, and begin creating your own strategies in Bearly Brave’s opening boss stages.

Demo Features:

  • Over 35 Skill Cards –  Craft unique strategies
  • 45+ Weapon Cards – Powerful effects to build destructive combos
  • 70+ Unique Patches – Customize your not-so-cuddly teddy
  • 20+ Consumable Candies –  Utilize for powerful, temporary boosts
  • 8 Enemies and 8 Bosses –  Experience each foe’s unique abilities and overcome challenges.

First Look at Frostliner, a Survival City‑Builder Racing Through the Endless Winter

Wishlisted over 10,000 times in less than a week, Frostliner puts players aboard a colossal train as it pushes through a frozen Earth in search of fuel, survivors, and safety 

Perth, Australia – August 7, 2025 – Independent developer Nathan Gane has revealed the first details and trailer for Frostliner, a narrative-driven survival city-builder set aboard a colossal train cutting through the frozen ruins of a devastated world. Since its reveal just days ago, Frostliner has already captured the attention of strategy and survival fans worldwide, earning more than 10,000 wishlists on Steam.

In the aftermath of a shattered moon and the wars that followed, temperatures plummeted and civilization fractured into scattered pockets of survivors. You command the Frostliner, a massive locomotive built to endure the killing frost and adapt to the needs of its passengers. Every stop brings hard choices: scavenge for fuel and supplies, recruit survivors, and keep the heaters running before the frost claims your people.

I’m blown away by the attention and support Frostliner has received. I never imagined I’d reach 10,000 wishlists so quickly! Seeing how much people believe in the game has inspired me to start exploring bringing other developers on board. I want to make Frostliner the best it can possibly be. – Nathan Gane, Lead Developer

Key Features:

  • Roam the Frozen Earth – Explore a handcrafted world and uncover a gripping, linear narrative as you chase warmth, safety, and the faint promise of a future at the end of the line.
  • Build a City on Rails – Construct new carriages and fill them with facilities to sustain life, produce resources, and research vital technologies. Maximize productivity with adjacency bonuses as your Frostliner grows.
  • Risk Every Stop – Scavenge for fuel, supplies, and survivors at key locations, but beware: when the train stops, the heat dies. Limited batteries make every halt a race against the killing frost.
  • Defend What’s Yours – The cold is not your only enemy. Arm your Frostliner with weaponry to repel raiders and other threats, or push the engine to outrun them before they close in.

Frostliner is in development for PC, Linux, and Steam Deck and is estimated to launch on Steam in 2026. Players can wishlist now to join the journey and be notified when the train departs.

About the Developer

Nathan Gane is a solo developer from Western Australia who has been working toward his lifelong dream of creating and releasing a game. His journey began in childhood, making simple projects in GameMaker, and eventually led him to earn a degree in computer science with a focus on game technologies. After graduating, Nathan honed his skills by simulating heavy mining machinery and building his project management expertise before moving into the games industry. When the studio he worked for closed in 2024, he committed to developing Frostliner full time, a passion project he had been creating in his spare time for years.
