As she navigates through a maze of aggressive sentinels, laser defenses, and bizarre bio-hacking experiments, Emi realizes there’s much more at stake than she ever imagined.
Emi’s struggle intensifies as she attempts to escape her captors. Communicating with her fellow hackers, she uncovers hidden augments that expand her abilities, allowing her to explore previously inaccessible areas.

Test your success in the game’s free demo ahead of the Early Access release on September 24th.
Los Angeles, USA, 3 September 2024 | A perfect storm approaches as Skyward Extraction, a light horror, cooperative roguelike from indie developer Naughty Clogs, announces its Early Access for Steam, coming September 24th. Players can step into this high-flying adventure in the game’s free demo.
A Skyward Adventure
Encounter Skyward Extraction’s Relencost, a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by ancient conflict. A magic storm has rendered the surface unlivable, forcing the planet’s survivors above the cloud layer in search of safety. Even so, one place remains treacherous above all others: The Stormwall. A place so dangerous that its shifting depths are rarely explored, where only the bravest or most greedy dare to travel. Thus begins your journey.
Cooperative Extraction
Skyward Extraction is a co-op survival game with roguelike elements coming to Steam. Explore the depths of The Stormwall alongside your friends to retrieve valuable loot from Relencost’s pre-war period. Navigate through the clouds in your airship, allowing you to move deeper into the chaotic storm in search of valuable resources. As you pierce further into the storm, both your risks and rewards increase significantly. Player perks–including increased health and stamina or decreased fall damage–can protect you in a pinch, while equipment upgrades can alter your kit’s abilities. Scale vertical climbs with the long-range Grapple Pack, expand your inventory size with the Mule Pack, or cross gaps with increased efficiency using the Glider Pack. Commissions and dungeon loot will reward you with gold, letting you purchase new advancements at the game’s supply outpost.
Hosts of Challenges
Ensuring your swift escape is vital to retaining your loot. Activity within the storm attracts unwanted attention, so you must return to the ship often to store your rewards. A host of dangerous entities await, including slimes, goblins, automatons, and deadly scorpions. Patrolling the skies are Stormbeasts, posing another threat to your ship’s integrity. The game’s eight unique dungeons feature seven different interiors with various enemies and rewards. Each day, new escape and entry routes will open, closing other paths to keep players on their toes and exploring.
Gameplay Features:
Procedurally generated maps, dungeons, and events offer 7 unique interiors and a diverse cast of enemies, ranging from burrowing scorpions to high-flying Stormbeasts.
Voice proximity chat and co-op mode create a thrilling multiplayer experience.
Permanent character progression, combined with the game’s procedurally generated challenges, ensures players will never experience the same challenge twice and can continue building their stats after each run.
Equipment enhancements increase base functions, such as extended range on a grappling hook, reduced stamina consumption on a glider, or a large radius light to guide your way through the dark.
Skyward Extraction’s Early Access launch promises a thrilling cooperative experience, with additional features–such as mini-quests and open exploration environments–planned for the game’s full launch.
Skyward Extraction will launch soon in Early Access on September 24th. A free demo is available now on Steam, and interested players can wishlist the title for updates on its launch. Additional updates are available on Naughty Clog’s X and the studio’s official website.
