LOS ANGELES, CA - October 15, 2026 - Gabriel's Games announced that Soulstonia is heading to Steam Next Fest from October 19-26, with its free Demo available now for Windows and macOS.

Players do not have to wait for Next Fest to begin. The Demo can be downloaded and played today, with no playtime or progression cap.

The Demo includes the full Act I campaign with more than 15 quests throughout the Grasslands, all five regions open for exploration, and more than 20 core and hybrid skills that can be trained all the way to level 99.

All five regions are open to explore, while later-region story quests are reserved for Early Access to avoid spoilers.

Demo saves can also carry forward into Steam Early Access on December 10, 2026, giving players the option to keep the progress they make before and during Next Fest.

Your Summoners have a mind of their own.

Players can take direct control of any Summoner, assign idle goals, or let them get to work on their own. Summoners can gather resources, craft equipment, fight enemies, collect loot, and train skills while the player focuses elsewhere.

Play hands-on. Play idle. Switch whenever you want.

Completing Act I unlocks a second Summoner, allowing two Summoners to adventure together in the Demo.

Every save generates a different Soulstonia, changing where villages, roads, resources, enemies, landmarks, and Points of Interest appear.

"Soulstonia is built around letting players decide how involved they want to be from moment to moment," said Gabriel Langlois, founder of Gabriel's Games and developer of Soulstonia. "You can take direct control when you want to explore, fight, or train skills yourself, then give your Summoners goals and let them handle more on their own. I'm looking forward to seeing how new players approach that balance during Next Fest, especially knowing they can start now and keep that same save if they continue into Early Access."

WHAT PLAYERS CAN EXPERIENCE IN THE DEMO
  • No Playtime or Progression Cap - Train more than 20 combat, collection, and crafting skills all the way to level 99.
  • Complete Act I and Explore All Five Regions - Play through more than 15 Grasslands quests, unlock a second Summoner, then continue exploring the Desert, Jungle, North, and Volcano.
  • Play Hands-On or Idle - Control Summoners directly, assign idle goals, or let them gather, craft, fight, and train on their own.
  • Keep Your Save - Demo saves can carry forward into Early Access on December 10. Existing Soulstonia Playtest saves also transfer automatically into the Demo.

Steam Next Fest runs from October 19-26. The Soulstonia Demo is available now and will remain playable after the festival until Soulstonia launches as a free-to-play title in Steam Early Access on December 10, 2026.
