Steam Next Fest is GO, meaning our partnership with @firesquid.games shifts up a gear

Play the Demos for Vultures and Ex Sanguis. Link your Pantaloon email in the main menu. Complete the demo - and if we have keys left - you’ll bag a copy of the full game at launch.

Splendid.

πŸ¦‰ Here we go again! We're proud to bring the demo for our next game, Birds Watching, to the Steam Next Fest.

Birds Watching is the first birding psychological horror game set in the Italian Alps. Horror through a lens, picky birds, existential fire.

It’s time for the first Saturday Demo!

The weekly thread where I talk about demos for upcoming indie games that I think deserve more eyes on <3

Now as a birb myself, what better way to start this whole thing by introducing β€œBirds Watching” by the lovely @studioortica.bsky.social

Finished Loan Shark today. Hits above its weight. Indie games are second to none. @studioortica.bsky.social is one to watch. 🦈

Get the RATSHAKER + LOAN SHARK bundle on Steam for a discounted price and a great psychological horror time!
