What: The Stars are fading. Only you can make the change and fight against corruption.

Luminas: Parasite Reign

What: Luminas: Parasite Reign is a party-based survivor roguelite where you control three magical creatures simultaneously, fighting back the parasites spreading across the world of Solaris.

Why should you care? Where most survivor roguelites are about making a single hero stronger, Luminas: Parasite Reign is about the synergies between three heroes. Every run, you build a party from 8 unique Luminas, freely swap 90+ upgrades before the run, and chase evolution moments that transform your creatures into more powerful forms.

Deep skill trees for every Lumina and dedicated endgame content give runs long-term direction beyond the moment-to-moment chaos. Combine that with a distinctive voxel art style that blends nostalgic pixel charm with 3D depth, and you get a survivor game that rewards experimentation over grinding. The joy is in the party you build!

Developer: SOTO Game Studio ​Genres: Party-based Roguelite, Survivor-like, Bullet Heaven ​ ​ ​ ​ ​Release Date: 24th July 2026 (Steam) ​Steam Page | Instagram | TikTok | sotogamestudio@gmail.com

Unannounced True Deduction Game

What: A first-person supernatural detective game where you solve mysteries through true deduction in a world where Greek folklore is real.

RuneSmith

What: Runesmith is a humorous RPG where a grudge-holding dwarf runesmith engraves powerful runes, talks to other dwarves and kills everything else!

Why should you care? Forge weapons, armor, trinkets, and deeply irresponsible magical combinations through an extensive rune engraving system. Experiment with rune interactions that can chain or accidentally create problems significantly larger than the original problem.

Drink at taverns, brawl with strangers, accept questionable jobs, improve your forge, and wake up every morning fueled by spite, greed and industrial-grade ale. Every fight is a sandbox of unstable rune interactions where simple decisions can chain into devastating combos, catastrophic accidents, or spiral into complete tavern-grade stupidity.
