About the game

You hear a voice that is fond of your eyes. Willing to help you out, you both set out to uncover what happened back in school. Will you blink your way out, or will you succumb to the shadows of your past?

Key Features

• Blinking is thinking – Your eyes are the key out of this maze of memories. Blink and change your surroundings, switch and reset moving elements, flood whole rooms, or turn them around.
• Surreal madness – Alan’s obsession with this book translates into an environment that won’t allow you to leave. Do you think you can manage?
• Traverse your memories – Time To Wake Up takes you through surreal school environments. Imagine dim-lit libraries, perplexing playgrounds, toilets with twists and turns, and more.
• You’re not alone – In this dream, you hear a voice that will not only help you remember what happened, but also actively open doors for you (yes, also literally).
• Avoid your classmates – Nothing good comes out of their staring presence piercing through your eyes. Blink and make sure not to cross paths.

Quote from the developer Joe Fender and development history:

“After launching DEVOUR, I began working on Sunset Summit in 2021 as I wanted to branch out from the horror genre. But by 2023 I was burned out and unsure if a first-person co-op climbing game would appeal to anyone. And guess what? Then PEAK launched and after its success I felt reassured that it was worth finishing Sunset Summit. I’m proud to share this mix of my favourite things: co-op games, climbing, and megastructures and I hope people will enjoy it!”

Updated demo lets players team up, hunt mutated creatures, brew unique drinks and rebuild the wasteland’s last great hangout

Ankara, Türkiye – October 12th, 2026 – Independent publisher 312 Interactive and developer LootBAG Studios today announced that On the Rocks, their first-person bar management and crafting simulation, is taking part in Steam Next Fest with an updated demo featuring a preview of the game’s online co-op for up to four players. Available now on PC via Steam ahead of Steam Next Fest, running October 19th – 26th, the updated demo lets players join forces with friends to run a bar in a harsh post-apocalyptic wasteland.

In time for Steam Next Fest, the On the Rocks demo now includes a preview of its online co-op for up to four players. Survivors can gather friends in a lobby, send invites and ready up before heading into a shared world together, where the whole crew can progress through the story, deal with the wasteland’s locals, brew, shop, manage inventory and take to the road in vehicles side by side. Proximity voice chat keeps conversations natural when players are working the same bar, while those carrying suitable walkie-talkie equipment can stay in touch across longer distances, whether that’s coordinating a supply run or warning the others about what’s lurking in the desert. The host’s world save keeps track of the crew’s shared progress.

Whether playing solo or with friends, On the Rocks drops players into the year 2635, where endless war has left the world barren. After their travelling convoy is ambushed by raiders, Uncle John, an aging survivor, rescues them and offers shelter in his family’s derelict bar. In return, players must restore the bar by managing supplies, purchasing furniture, and transforming it into the wasteland’s last great hangout. With agile gunplay and melee combat, hunt mutated creatures and extract their volatile fluids to brew unique beers and other concoctions, discovering new recipes along the way. The demo offers a taste of the game’s blend of survival, exploration, crafting, and bar management, now with room for the whole crew.

“Running a bar has never been a one-person job, so bringing co-op to On the Rocks felt like the natural next step,” said Aysu Ünal, Co-Founder at 312 Interactive. “Steam Next Fest is the perfect moment to let players round up their friends, split the work between hunting, brewing and serving, and see how long they can keep the wasteland’s last great hangout standing together. We can’t wait to see what crews get up to, and every bit of feedback will help shape the full game.”

About On the Rocks
On the Rocks is a first-person crafting and bar management simulation game set in a sun-scorched wasteland where clean water has all but disappeared. Players must brave the dangers of the desert to gather resources, refine them using industrial machinery, expand and upgrade their bar, and build a reputation among the survivors who pass through its doors. Balancing exploration, survival and business management is the key to keeping the wasteland’s last great hangout alive.

Wonder how Stupid Never Dies got its signature visual style? Today, in a new video, Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi takes a deeper bite into the visual style of their upcoming pop-punk action RPG Stupid Never Dies ahead of its launch on PC and PS5 next week on October 21.

Watch the Stupid Never Dies Deep Bite #4 – Art video:

GPTRACK50 wanted to create a visual style that stood out from the crowd, much like the game’s protagonist, Davy – nothing too polished, but rebellious, emotional, impactful, and something that leaves a lasting impression. The team drew upon their neo pop punk theme using colours and styles that tied into the nostalgic feel of that sound. Weaving together a hand-drawn style to 3D models through carefully constructed linework and shadows, and blending classically familiar with modern elements to create something that felt dynamic and hand-crafted.

Over Technology (OT) is a core mechanic to Davy’s – and his enemies – arsenal, so integrating it organically into the monster designs was key. To make enemy power easily identifiable by the player, the more powerful the enemy, the more dangerous the dungeon, the more menacing the visuals become.

Since the story is from Davy’s perspective, the team wanted to make the player feel immersed in his mind. It was decided that the UI, and other visual details should look as if they were things that Davy would have lying around, or drawn by himself 

Want to check out Stupid Never Dies for yourself? Play the Stupid Never Dies: First Bite demo now on Steam and PlayStation 5!

About Stupid Never Dies

Developed by GPTRACK50, Stupid Never Dies delivers a single-player 3D action RPG experience unlike anything you’ve played before.

Set in a monster-ruled otherworldly dungeon, Stupid Never Dies puts you in control of Davy, a timid zombie living at the very bottom of monster society. Defeat enemies, level up, and collect strange items to grow stronger on your quest to bring Julia, a frozen human girl, back to life. Steal enemy abilities, customize your undead body with bizarre upgrades, and experience fast-paced combat packed with innovation.

Want to learn more? Check out the Deep Bite #1: Action, Deep #2: Game Cycle, and Deep Bite #3: Sound videos. 

Key Features of Stupid Never Dies:

• Fight Like a Zombie: The best defense is a good offence, according to Davy. Relentlessly attack enemies with reckless abandon – zombies don’t need to dodge if they can’t feel a punch! And with a flexible enemy targeting system, Davy can fight the hoards of enemies coming at him from every direction freely without being tied to a single target, keeping KOM’s army on their toes. 
• Blazing Fast Growth: What if you could play a 30+ hour ARPG but reach max level in just 30 minutes? Drawing inspiration from aspects of roguelike mechanics, every dungeon dive starts with Davy at level 1 but enemies defeated across previous dives increase growth rate – and XP gain – exponentially, resulting in a faster, more intense experience.
• Eat Your Enemies: A zombie’s most famous attack is his chomp. With “Style Eat”, Davy not only repairs any damage his deathly body has taken, but absorbs the powers of whatever enemy he eats – werewolves, harpies, vampires, and more. With over 11 styles to devour, Davy can become the ultimate monster-munching machine! 
• (Body) Hack the Planet: Collect powerful Over Technology from each dive and visit Acelino’s shop to hack Davy’s body, modifying his arms, legs and head to unlock devastating powers.
• Stupidity Beyond Belief: Interdimensional toilets, a robot vacuum cleaner you can ride, a bizarre cast of loveable characters, and a love story for the ages – there’s never a dull moment in Stupid Never Dies!

Pre-order Stupid Never Dies on PlayStation and on Steam.

tupid Never Dies will be available for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5 on October 21, 2026, followed by a Japan release on October 22. The game will be available for purchase as a Standard Edition for $49.99 USD, or as part of the Stupid Never Dies: Glorious Idiot Edition for $59.99 USD.

London, UK – October 12, 2026 – Twin Swans today revealed the voice cast for first-person historical narrative folk-horror game Hunter’s Moon, coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 on October 26. 

Featuring a fully voice-acted narrative, the game follows the story of Lilith Thorne, an accused “witch” on the run for her life, as she’s pursued by the Witchfinder General over the course of one fateful night – the night of the Hunter’s Moon. 

A huge cast of 48 actors was assembled to take on over 100 roles in the game, led by Hannah Morley (‘Apartment 7A’) as Lilith Thorne, and Gregg Lowe (‘Crimson Desert’, ‘Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles’, and TV’s ‘Grantchester’) as the Witchfinder General. They are joined by Anthony Howell (‘007 First Light’, ‘Silent Hill: Townfall’ and TV’s ‘Foyle’s War’) and Joe Pitts (‘Lies of P’, ‘Dragon Quest VII Reimagined’).

“The witch is an eternally popular mythical figure, and in our contemporary media landscape, we often forget where these stories come from,” said writer and director Alicia Contestabile. “I wanted to create an interactive theatre, set in this era of magical thinking, and immerse the player in the perspective of an accused woman. Exploring how these beliefs could drive a community to enact such cruelty, the player can experience what it might feel like to face these accusations, from family, friends, and neighbours, and know that your life is at risk.”

Hunter’s Moon offers a window into an era that contrasts our modern world, yet remains timely and relevant. This compact, deeply immersive experience is brought to life by this incredible cast of voice talent and a haunting original score by Resina. We’re hopeful people will resonate with this new form of immersive-theatre.

Inspired by the true history of English witch hunts and the tradition of folk-horror, Hunter’s Moon asks you to consider: what if the most terrifying thing in our world is not monsters or magic, but other people? What if our own fears and beliefs are the true sources of horror?

From writer-director Alicia Contestabile, producer of The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, new independent studio Twin Swans, featuring artists and developers whose credits include The Stanley Parable, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Signalis, and with an original score composed by Resina, discover the secrets of a dysfunctional village on the brink as you embody an accused “witch” on the run for her life. 

Evade capture by the witch hunters and eavesdrop on a characterful cast of folk to aid your escape, in a novel immersive-theatre-inspired folk-horror that invites you to explore an Early Modern village and its stories. Can you survive the night of the Hunter’s Moon?
