About Hellbound Inc
 

In Hellbound Inc., you take on the role of an undead courier trapped in a fulfillment center recently acquired by Satan. Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, the game takes players through eight infernal circles of corporate torment, from Limbo to Pride. Each reimagined as a dysfunctional department within a hellish organization. Each circle features its own distinct hub area, where players can interact with bizarre co-workers, and prepare for a series of deviously challenging puzzle-platforming levels. An original soundtrack, featuring a unique theme for each circle of Hell, brings every department to life. With tricky controls, escalating difficulty, and a focus on precision gameplay, Hellbound Inc. is designed to test players’ patience, skills and perfect timing.
 

“I’m excited for players to discover that moment when frustration turns into mastery. The first time you overcome an obstacle that seemed impossible is incredibly satisfying, and that’s really the emotional core of the game,” said Pradip Romay, Studio Lead.
 

Key Features:

  • Immortal gameplay – Precision platforming meets puzzle challenges – Every room is a finely tuned delivery puzzle that tests timing, problem-solving, and reflexes
  • Eight Circles of Hell to explore – Each with unique hazards and increasingly chaotic layouts
  • Over 45 handcrafted levels 
  • Instant respawns – Die, retry, and learn without breaking the flow
  • Hellish soundtrack – A relentless score to keep you marching through the flames

Hellbound Inc. will be available on Steam starting August 11, 2026.

You can wishlist the game now and follow development updates via Steam and social channels.

Dark 3D platformer Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares Xbox Store Page Now Live

Indie studio Polycast Labs is proud to announce that Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares, a dark 3D platformer collectathon inspired by the golden era of early 2000’s gaming, has its official store page live and ready for wishlisting on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
 
The Xbox community can now show their support for the project by adding the title to their Wishlist directly through the Microsoft Store by clicking here
 
A Love Letter to early 2000s Classics on the Xbox Ecosystem

Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares brings back the pure, nostalgic magic of early 2000’s icons like Spyro the DragonBanjo-Kazooie, and Voodoo Vince. Blending acrobatic exploration, light combat, and environmental secret-hunting within a twisted, Tim Burton-inspired carnival of dreams, the game puts players in the oversized shoes of Bobo, a clumsy but golden-hearted circus jester.

During a high-stakes performance, Bobo accidentally cracks open the legendary “Chest of Nightmares,” inadvertently unleashing the DreamMaster: an ancient malevolent entity who freezes the kingdom in an eternal twilight and twists beautiful dreams into living nightmares. Guided by a mysterious floating companion, Bobo must rely on his fluid agility, chaining together double-jumps, wall-slides, and umbrella glides, to recover lost EchoMares and restore laughter to a fractured kingdom.

 
Why Wishlisting Matters for a Historic Solo Project

Developed entirely by a single person, David Ho, over the course of just one year, Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares represents a monumental technical achievement for independent game development.
“Seeing Bobo’s official store page live on Xbox is an incredibly rewarding milestone for me as a solo developer,” says David Ho, Founder and Solo Developer at Polycast Labs. “For an indie studio, every single addition to a Wishlist makes a monumental difference. It is the absolute best way for players to show their support, ensuring the Xbox ecosystem gives the game visibility on launch day and helping prove that classic, character-driven 3D platformers are still very much alive in the hearts and controllers of the community.”
 
Key Gameplay Features:
 

  • MASTER THE JESTER’S ACROBATICS: Chain together double-jumps, wall-slides, and umbrella glides to effortlessly navigate treacherous, highly vertical gothic realms from the very beginning of the adventure.
  • SOLVE MACABRE PUZZLES: Put your wits to the test! Manipulate the environment, decipher intricate mechanisms, and unlock hidden paths reminiscent of classic 3D adventure games.
  • EXPLORE A WHIMSICAL NIGHTMARE: Dive into the secrets of the Twilight Circus hub. Scavenge for Twilight Shards, rescue upgrade-driven Nightmare Wisps, and hunt down rare Voodoo Dolls tucked away in every corner.
  • CHART YOUR OWN PATH: Select your next challenge from the central hub and tackle realms in any order. Discover multiple routes and creative solutions designed to reward every playstyle and platforming skill level!
  • SURVIVE THEATRICAL BOSSES: Face spectacular, larger-than-life foes at the end of each world. Stack floating DreamMasks for visual health protection and unleash the invulnerable “Dreamburst” state to conquer your fears!

Players can head over to the Microsoft Store right now and add Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares to their Xbox Wishlist to be notified immediately the moment the game becomes available for purchase on October 30th, 2026.

Roguelite Action Platformer Dragon is Dead Now Available Physically for PS5 and Nintendo Switch

Meridiem is pleased to announce 2D dark fantasy hack and slash, roguelite action platformer Dragon is Dead developed by Team Sunset is now available physically for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.  Dragon is Dead offers tons of customization fun with different character skill trees and legendary equipment.
 

Dragon is Dead is published worldwide digitally and in North America physically by PM Studios®, with Meridiem responsible for crafting the game’s European physical Guernian Edition, overseeing its design and manufacturing and packing it with collectable extras, including a special sleeve, character cards and the Lore of Guernian!
 

In this dark fantasy action roguelite, death is only the beginning. As an immortal Successor, slash through corrupted lands, master three distinct classes, and keep your legendary gear to return stronger after every fall. The Black Dawn awaits.
 

Play as an immortal Successor 

You are a Successor, an immortal warrior empowered by the gods Lu, Ashuran, and Harnia. When you die, you revive with your gear, runes, and unlocks intact and head back out from Cliffshire to push further into corrupted zones.
 

Choose your Successor 

You’ll start as the Spellblade and unlock additional Successors as you progress. Each has its own skill tree, weapons, and playstyle.
 

Playable Classes 

  • Spellblade – Element-focused hybrid with close and mid-range attacks built around fire, frost, and lightning. 
  • Berserker – Heavy melee bruiser that trades its own HP and positioning for huge damage and armor.  
  • Hunter – Mobile ranged fighter using thrown weapons, poison, and beast abilities to apply damage over time and control space.

2D Roguelite Hack-and-Slash Combat 

Combat revolves around precise dodges, reading telegraphed attacks, and committing to aggressive combos. Areas are multi-layered 2D stages that reshuffle enemy layouts, hazards, and loot each run. When you fall, you lose gold and temporary bonuses, but your gear and runes stay with you and form the base of your next attempt.
 

Loot, runes, and artefacts 

Hunt Elites and Bosses to claim Rune Stones, then craft them into Legendary and Mythic equipment. Runes and class skill trees interact to define your build, while artefacts you pick up mid-run stack into powerful synergies.
 

Uncover the Black Dawn 

The dragon Guernian has fallen, and his Corruption twists the world. You must fight your way to the Citadel at the centre of the rift. But be warned: the history you know is a lie. Track down major bosses, piece together the fragments of the past, and discover what the Black Dawn is really doing with the Corruption.

Dragon is Dead – Guernian Edition is now available physically for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. The game is available digitally worldwide through PM Studios.

Demo for 3-D Co-Op Platformer Limbot Now Available on Steam

Following a successful playtest, Ionized Studios has launched the official Steam demo for Limbot, giving players an even bigger taste of the colorful cardboard carnage ahead of the full game’s release later this July on Steam, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Limbot is a co-op 3D platformer with a twist that sees up to 4 players work together to control a giant cardboard robot with each player taking command of different limbs. Whether you’re stomping through city streets, flailing your way across jungle platforms, or toppling headfirst into scenery, coordination or lack thereof is the key to your victories and spectacular failures.

“Seeing players throw themselves into Limbot and having a blast during the Steam playtest was an absolute joy to watch,” said Aaron, developer at Ionized Studios. “To give players a better slice of what to expect in the full game, the official demo adds even more levels, new enemies, new upgrades and the first rather silly boss fight.”

Key Features:

  • Play with up to 4 players and control limbs individually, or go alone and master the bot in solo play!
  • Smash, stomp, and crash through a paper-craft world tour as you flatten cities, jungles, and underwater environments into pulp.

About Ionized Studios:

Ionized Studios, known for their debut hit IronWolf VR (Steam, 2022), is back with their next project, Limbot. IronWolf VR, a co-op game, achieved a firm following and boasts a 94% positive score from over 1,000 reviews. Limbot aims to build on that successful foundation of multi-crew chaos and camaraderie, but swaps the deep-sea setting of ballast tanks and hydroplanes for a wackier world featuring cardboard arms and legs.

Valkyrie Initiative Announces Fast-Paced 2D Platformer Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel

Valkyrie Initiative and solo developer 70`Strike today announced Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel, a fast-paced 2D platformer inspired by the 16-bit classics of the ’90s, coming to PC via Steam and GOG as well as PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Packed with humor, destruction, grotesque enemies, and pure hellish energy, the game sends players into a bizarre underworld where the circles of Hell have been reimagined as the floors of a chaotic infernal hotel

Watch the official announcement trailer here

In Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel, players take control of Mr. K, an ordinary office clerk and all-around decent guy whose fate takes a darkly comic turn after a ridiculous accident sends him straight to Hell instead of Heaven. There, he arrives at the gates of the Inferno Hotel, a surreal place where each floor has its own rules, atmosphere, and dangers. With the hotel in chaos and its floors sealed off, Mr. K must fight his way through every trial in search of an audience with the Boss to set this cosmic mistake right.

The game will take players through nine floors of the Inferno Hotel and more than forty handcrafted levels, blending fast and dynamic platforming with strange mechanics, grotesque enemies and bosses, and surreal locations ranging from fiery factories to a park of homeless souls. Built around the spirit of the Mega Drive and Super Nintendo era, the game combines familiar retro sensibilities with fresh ideas, satirical humor, and an offbeat personality of its own.

To celebrate the announcement, Valkyrie Initiative has also opened Steam Playtest sign-ups for the game. Players who take part in the Playtest and meet certain conditions will have the chance to earn a range of exclusive in-game rewards, which will be granted at the full launch of the game. These rewards include a golden kettlebell skin, a smelly kettlebell skin, and a stylish yellow shirt for Mr. K.

Some of these rewards will require genuine skill. Players who complete every level in the Playtest build with an S Rank will unlock the Steam achievement “Golden Run”, qualifying them for the top reward, provided they also wishlist the game and follow Valkyrie Initiative’s publisher page on Steam. Additional rewards can be unlocked through other Playtest achievements and participation requirements. The Playtest start date will be announced at a later time.

“After working on the dark and demanding world of Skelethrone, I wanted to create something lighter, stranger, and more playful without losing the sense of challenge and personality that makes action games memorable,” said Ksayfar (Dmitriy Bukhtatov), solo developer at 70`Strike. “Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel is my love letter to the weird energy of ’90s platformers — games like Earthworm JimBoogermanBubba ’n’ Stix, and Sonic — filtered through a bizarre vision of Hell inspired by The Divine Comedy. It’s fast, surreal, hand-crafted, and intentionally a little unhinged.”

Key features of Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel include:

  • Fast-paced, dynamic 2D platforming
  • Two gameplay modes: Classic with limited lives, and Arcade, where players cannot die but lose more points when hit
  • Over 40 levels spread across nine floors of the Inferno Hotel
  • Grotesque enemies and bosses
  • Surreal locations and bizarre underworld humor
  • Hand-drawn pixel art and frame-by-frame animation
  • A retro-inspired soundtrack composed by the developer, blending jazz, ’80s disco, blues, and more

Players can wishlist the game and request access to the Steam Playtest here

70`Strike is the solo development label of Ksayfar (Dmitriy Bukhtatov). Following work on Skelethrone: The Chronicles of Ericona, Bukhtatov began development on Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel as a more playful and eccentric project inspired by classic ’90s platformers, hand-drawn pixel animation, and a whimsical reinterpretation of Hell.About Valkyrie Initiative

3D platformer Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares set to release on October 30, 2026

Indie game studio Polycast Labs is thrilled to announce that its upcoming nightmarish 3D platformer, Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares, will officially launch on Windows, Mac and Linux via Steam on October 30, 2026. Priced at $19.95 USD, this nostalgia-infused action-adventure blends the freeform exploration and verticality of classic platformers with a dreamy, circus-meets-Halloween atmosphere.
 
In Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares, players step into the pointy shoes of Bobo, a clumsy but golden-hearted jester. During a circus performance gone wrong, Bobo accidentally opens the legendary Nightmare Chest, freeing the ancient Dreammaster who twists the kingdom’s dreams into living nightmares. Guided by a floating DreamMask, players must leap, glide, rail-grind, and puzzle their way through corrupted dreamworlds to recover lost EchoMares and restore laughter to a world frozen in eternal twilight.
 
“The game started from a love for the classic 3D platformers I grew up with, like Spyro the Dragon and MediEvil, which had colorful worlds and gameplay that felt playful but still challenging,” said David Ho, Game Developer and founder of Polycast Labs. “Bobo isn’t a warrior or a hero by design. He’s clumsy, expressive, and out of his depth. This made him feel relatable and allowed the game to focus on acrobatics, exploration, and discovery rather than combat alone.”
 
Key Features of Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares:
 

  • Whimsical Nightmare Platforming: Explore semi-open, highly replayable levels with strong verticality and themed mechanics, from gravity-bending zones to pumpkin bounce pads.
  • Acrobatic Moveset: Master Bobo’s agility right from the start. Double jump, glide using his jester hat, wall-slide, rail-grind, stomp, dive, and more.
  • Innovative DreamMask Health System: A floating mask acts as a shield. Stack multiple masks to trigger Dreamburst, a powerful, short invulnerable state.
  • Meaningful Collectibles: Gather Twilight Sweets, Nightmare Wisps, and rare Voodoo Dolls. Recover essential EchoMares by defeating theatrical cinematic bosses to unlock new portal tents in the Twilight Circus Grounds hub.

 
Bobo and the Chest of Nightmares will be available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and German.
