We are thrilled to announce that playtest sign-ups for Stones Keeper II: Chaos Lord are now officially open! You can register right now by clicking the button on the store page. By taking part in the playtest, you’ll be able to earn exclusive rewards that will be available in the full game. The playtest is planned to begin in early 2026 - details about the rewards can be found below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45120390/65befac938593e3f4c661b81b2ccae6aee6c79c8.png

ABOUT THE PLAYTEST

Before we dive into the full details, we invite you to watch the trailer released specifically for the start of playtest sign-ups. We’re also delighted to announce that we’ve been selected for The Winter OTK Games Expo - a major event for indie developers. The expo kicks off on November 22.

WHAT AWAITS PLAYTESTERS

You’ll be able to experience: - The first chapter of the Undead campaign, led by the Chaos Lord — introducing the story and core gameplay mechanics. - The “Skirmish” mode (previously unavailable in the demo version). - 3 playable factions (Humans, Undead, Inquisition) out of 9 planned in total (1 in the campaign + 2 in Skirmish mode). - Full animations for all units, dialogue portraits, and castles. - The ability to share your feedback via a Google Form. - Two Steam achievements. - Exclusive rewards for playtest participants.

🏆 EXCLUSIVE REWARDS

By participating in the playtest and completing specific objectives, each player will be able to unlock unique equipment for their units. These rewards will be granted in the full game once all conditions are met. Let’s take a closer look: First reward - an enhanced axe for your Zombie unit. It significantly boosts its starting damage. By default, you cannot purchase it in the shop at the beginning of the game. However, don’t worry - it becomes available later in the campaign once you’ve collected the required resources. This reward simply grants early access to equipping the Zombie unit with the axe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45120390/56e1c10fa41bd19085f5399ecf9c9554306cb43f.png Second reward - an improved healing potion. It restores significantly more health and is a unique consumable item. This potion is available only to playtest participants and is single-use. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45120390/63606b9203e86d7f3fab9cabbbb1829a6f14f249.png These rewards will be especially valuable for players who enjoy higher difficulty levels. Conditions for earning the rewards: - Add the game to your Wishlist. - Follow the publisher on Steam: Valkyrie Initiative - Earn the Steam achievement "Strategist" during the playtest. To unlock the "Strategist" achievement, you must complete the campaign content available in the playtest without losing a single unit - on any difficulty.

The playtest is scheduled for Q1 2026.

When the playtest begins, you will receive a notification. In the meantime, you can already complete the first step - add the game to your Wishlist to ensure you don’t miss the launch. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2779310/Stones_Keeper_II_Chaos_Lord/

https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/44355443/59eefb9e477a69b81d4dc62bc71e1882538e3442.jpg Hello, dear players! We’re excited to announce that Decadent Heir is now open for playtest registration! You can sign up right now by clicking the “Request Access” button on the game’s Steam page. Why this matters — you’ll find out below. Playtests are planned to begin in the first quarter of 2026, or even earlier if there’s high player demand. If this is your first time hearing about the game, let us introduce it briefly. Decadent Heir is a narrative RPG set in the decadent twilight of the Russian Empire — a world where politics, betrayal, and luxury intertwine in a deadly dance of ambition.

What Makes Decadent Heir Unique?

You literally begin the game at your character’s birth and shape their personality through choices you make along the way — developing skills and traits that influence every aspect of the story. Every decision matters — even small ones, like spending time with your dog or choosing to read a book instead of socializing. These seemingly minor moments can impact not only the protagonist but the entire world around them — even the fate of a nation. You’ll be able to revisit and reshape the defining events of an era. The game embraces the idea of “What if?” — a question that will haunt you throughout your journey, sparking curiosity to see how different choices unfold. Decadent Heir rewards replayability with a roguelike structure — when your character dies, every new run expands your abilities and opens new ways to change the course of history.

Does the Game Use AI?

Yes — Decadent Heir uses AI to generate illustrations for its text-based scenes. This serves purely as a visual aid — the soul of the game lies in its mechanics and hand-crafted storytelling. Every narrative branch is written by hand, without any random generation — it’s a deeply personal work by someone who truly loves history.

ABOUT THE PLAYTESTS

Before we go further, take a moment to watch our new trailer celebrating this event: The playtest, like the demo version, includes the first chapter out of five planned. What’s new in the playtest: - The first chapter has been reworked in both mechanics and story. - Numerous fixes and improvements. - Full Russian voice acting added (it completely changes the experience!). - Feedback form available via Google. - Steam achievements added. - Exclusive reward for playtest participants.

🏆EXCLUSIVE REWARD:

By taking part in the playtest and meeting specific conditions, every participant can earn a unique reward — an exclusive talent. How to qualify: - Add the game to your wishlist. - Follow our publisher page on Steam. - During the playtest, earn the Steam achievement “Hat Trick”. At the start of the game, you can choose from four basic talents. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/44355443/726caab87279ca0e706dbda5797338dc2d9f3b60.png As a playtester, you’ll gain access to an additional exclusive talent upon the game’s full release — “Lucky Charm”. It increases your luck during risk-based choices, allowing your story to take completely unexpected turns. The risk system in Decadent Heir is designed so that every bold decision can lead to unpredictable outcomes — from a tragic death to the discovery of entirely new story branches! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/44355443/027a652fa0a060f5f8fa124a91bbf1eee387ab92.png Knowing this — and with this talent in your hands — will you take more risks? Will you feel the thrill of taking risks, or the comfort of knowing luck is with you? Whatever you choose, remember: this game isn’t about numbers or stats. Even a “successful” risky choice can have unexpected consequences — for the protagonist or those around them. So follow your heart when making decisions. And now, we invite you to make one simple choice — add the game to your Steam wishlist. Thank you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3261140/Dekadant/

Let us introduce HMUR — a fast-paced retro FPS that throws you into a twisted, alternative version of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. Combining the insane mechanics of 90s shooters, Soviet sci-fi aesthetics, and a pounding hardbass soundtrack, the game becomes a relentless dance of speed, precision, and madness. You are Sergey, an ordinary worker. Something went terribly wrong, and now your only chance to survive is to be faster than death.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/d8259aad166ed9198d910018bed0883c15a5d5c3.jpg Folks!!! While we are hard at work on the original Doomer game, we invite you to join the retro Doomer movement with our spin-off project to the original game called Neon Doomer 85. Featuring retro-futuristic aesthetics, meditative gameplay, and an amazing retrowave soundtrack. It is already scheduled to be released in October. Free of charge. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3081180/Neon_Doomer_85/ It's not a reason to panic, however! On a contrary! The development of the original Doomer will not be affected in any way, since a very talented third-party developer 70`Strike was engaged to bring this project to life. As well as the publisher's humble efforts Hurry up and watch the trailer. Add the game to your wishlist and we'll see you soon! Join the Discord server!

https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/44355443/2152978a1c153df1a05982cbf23fa164c59ddb1d.jpg Greetings from the Doomer development team! We apologize for the long absence of any news and game updates since the announcement of our roadmap. As is often the case, everything that could go wrong went wrong. As we built all the processes and implemented what we promised, it took more time than expected. Now that the time has come, we are pleased to present you with the first content update, which is quite significant in scope, but represents only a small part of what's planned. Let's talk about future plans before we get into the details of the update. From now on, we'll release updates more frequently. We can't reveal the content or dates yet, but there won't be such long breaks between updates anymore. In the next step, we'll rework the technical foundation of the game, optimize everything that's "under the hood", and then start developing game mechanics. And yes, you read that right, Doomer will feature game mechanics and a clearly defined gameplay cycle. And naturally, we will add more nostalgic items, references, and elements that are signature to the time. Sincerely yours, the Doomer team. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1793150/Doomer/ Now for the content update:

1) Character:

• Doomer can now run, jump, and crouch;
• When running, the camera wobbles more intensely than when walking;
• Removed camera shake with the option to turn it on if you want to;
• The phone model has been updated to Pokia :), which is more relevant to the time when the game takes place. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/a188f61e42894362f6dbb6bd19c2a4fc4ea0527a.png
• The phone interface has been updated with the ability to call, but no one will answer...yet.
• The ability to take photos through the phone has been removed, since it does not correspond to the time of the game. We will get back to this and explore ideas of how to do photos and screenshots later. However, it won't be done with the phone camera, that is for sure.
• A redesigned item interaction system has been added. For example, the rat isn't a part of your pocket anymore. It lives in the cage. You can get it out and put it back in.
• Like any doomer character can now die, there are several ways to do that. Feel free to experiment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/3e68d2ac9c7474b79bd45d5cb99dbf2d07a1ff5e.png

  2) Doomers apartment:

  • You are able to open and close almost all of the doors and windows in the apartment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/5cff5bcf28629d3bccc022a901099b6a09f0aeee.png

  • Lots and lots of authentic items that are appropriate for the time the events of the game take place. Brand new models of items made from scratch, including Dendy consoles, cartridges, videotapes, books, Great Dragon and Technics of Youth magazines, as well as video and audio tape recorders. There is no sense to list it all, just explore and enjoy. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/da0d2dc40de74973c52b9f4b9aafbb0ba00a3db3.png

  3) Other:

  • The apartment building has the entrance now, you can access it from the doomers apartment. It allows you to go out onto the street, or access the roof. We attempted to make the entrance as authentic as possible using relevant objects and attributes of the time, writings on the walls, ashtrays, bottles, etc. You can explore, ring your neighbors doorbells and find ways to entertain yourself, maybe getting an achievement or two while you are at it. We'll add more activities over time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/21af654deca04ab7b71da3c2f58b8e0c5866fc48.png
  • You can access the roof now. There you can walk around, smoke a cigarette and contemplate about your life while looking at the surrounding landscape from above. That, and all other sorts of activities you can think of. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41375276/ed588cf12a3e2d49c65d176816eb067478b96803.png
