November 17th, 2025 - Attention shoppers! Independent studio Embers is thrilled to announce that Storebound, its latest co-op horror experience, is now available in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Step into an accursed megastore: explore, cooperate, and solve puzzles together or alone, and find the exit while the employees try to “assist” you.
The Early Access version features Episodes 1 and 2, offering players the first chapter of a larger, interconnected story that will expand through future updates. Each chapter will introduce new characters, mechanics, and horrors as the full narrative unfolds.
Following a strong reception during the latest Steam Next Fest, where Storebound’s demo became one of the most played of the event with over 120,000 players, the Early Access release marks the next step in the game’s development journey. The team aims to evolve Storebound with the community’s feedback, refining existing content and shaping what’s to come.
Storebound is available now in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
