Stockholm/Boston, May 21, 2025 – Solo Developer Peter Reggianini, also known as SleepyDad Studios, is today, together with Swedish publisher Caketown Interactive launching the incremental minigame RPG Cauldron.
Cauldron is an upgrade-heavy, minigame-centric, turn-based RPG. Uncover the secrets of a mysterious world alongside the young witch Nyx and her pink ghost sidekick Blinkie. Play minigames to strengthen your party, then win battles to uncover more map, more heroes, more minigames, more everything! If your favorite plant is an upgrade tree, then this game is for you!
The game has managed to garner a dedicated indie following for its uniquely addictive combination of minigames, turn-based RPG battles and incremental upgrades. Over the last months over 8,000 players have played the demo. Cauldrons demo has throughout the pre-release period boasted a median demo playtime of over an hour, (well above your average Steam demo!) and an average per player of almost 7 hours. Some players in the community Discord even report demo playtimes in the hundreds of hours.
Cauldron is priced at $14.99/€14.99 with local variations and is launched with a celebratory launch discount of 10%.
