Hoard's LLC: Limited Labyrinth Corporation’s Steam Next Fest Demo Out Today!

What is the most powerful weapon against an evil boss ruling over a dungeon full of monsters? An ancient sword? A magic ring? No! The most powerful spell of all: Unionizing!

Boston, United States – May 30th 2025: Cephalopod Ink launches the demo for their first game, Hoard's LLC: Limited Labyrinth Corporation ahead of Steam Next Fest.  It's available on Steam today!

 

Hoard’s LLC is a cozy, story-driven puzzle game where you play as Barry, a mild-mannered minotaur working deep in the depths of a corporate dungeon. When Barry starts to realize his coworkers are being exploited, he sets out to do something truly radical: help them.

 

In this prologue episode Barry stars in an employee training video. Help him navigate the puzzles to help out his coworker, Franny, a mimic, who's been stuck as a perpetual intern at Hoard's.

Gameplay:

  • Create a path through the labyrinth: Navigate a maze of departments—like Loot Logistics and Monster Resources—solving clever puzzles to reconnect isolated coworkers. Rotate tiles to create a path to get Barry to the exit on each level. Avoid spike traps, stone tiles that refuse to budge, and other obstacles.

 
  • Experience visual novel storytelling: Uncover endearing stories, roll eyes at cheesy corporate humor, and bring together a community that needs each other now more than ever.
 

  • Master the dungeon: Replay levels to find the optimal path to success!
     


     

Tune in during Steam Next Fest June 9-16! 

Hoard's LLC: Limited Labyrinth Corporation’s demo is available on Steam, with a full launch in August 2025. There will be live streams with the creators throughout Steam Next Fest.
