Hey guys,

I’m a solo dev, and my story-driven hacking puzzle game, EchoNet, just released on Steam!

Instead of fake hacking minigames, you are dropped into a custom OS. Your only connection to the outside world is an IRC chat and live CCTV cameras. You have to use real terminal commands to crack servers, intercept files, and coordinate with your crew.

But there’s a catch: the stress of the job drains your Sanity. If you don't manage your meds, the CCTV feeds corrupt, and you start hallucinating while the clock ticks down.

📺 Check out the gameplay footage here: https://youtu.be/KldYA8cVdnc?si=EUyxTYzX24k67Pw9

🎮 The game is currently on sale on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5222620/EchoNet

I'd love to know what you think of the atmosphere! (And good luck finding the hidden backdoor IP 😉)

Looking for players to try an early build and tell me honestly where it's fun and where it drags.

What it is: first-person survival. You're stuck on a roof, the streets are drowned in toxic gas, and a battered drone is your only pair of hands. Fly down streets and through windows, grab food, water and parts, and get home before the battery dies. Scrap drones hunt you, and every 7th night they come for the roof.

New in today's build: a war-torn town (blown-off tops, craters, burnt cars), floor plans that make sense, smooth stairs, a scan pulse that shows loot and enemies through walls, and the clock now stops while you read your pack, map and notes.

What I'd love to know:

- Did you get through the first two nights? What killed you?

- Did flying the drone feel good?

- Anything confusing, broken or ugly

Playtest Discord: https://discord.gg/xbxbEweQjY. New builds land there first, and reports usually get fixed in the next build (the last two builds were mostly tester reports).

Disclosure: solo dev, built with heavy AI assistance (code and in-game text). All footage is real gameplay, and the sounds are CC0 recordings.

How are things going for you all?

For those who’ve been asking, here is the demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5033540/Nova_Survivors_Demo/

Lead Foot is a first-person combat racer. one hand on the wheel, the other out of the window with a gun. 11 cars, 7 weapons, 14 locations with typhoons, cracking lake ice and burning refineries.

There's a free demo on Steam if you want to try it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5341290/

I show new things on my YouTube channel as they go into the game - a bobblehead on the dashboard, a helicopter that follows the race, animals and spectators along the road, burning trees across the track.

If you're into this kind of game, I'd like to hear what you think it's missing.

Короче игра была 2D пиксельная в сетинге Японии ты играешь за парня ли Су который вроде хочет спасти сестру и тебе надо было проходить через толпы врагов. Я её увидел на игра кон 2025 в Москве. Очень надеюсь что сообщество реддита мне поможет. Заранее спасибо.

Basically, it was a 2D pixel-art game set in Japan. You play as a guy named Li Su who, if I recall correctly, is trying to save his sister, and you have to fight your way through throngs of enemies. I saw it at the IgraCon 2025 event in Moscow. I really hope the Reddit community can help me out. Thanks in advance!

To convey the sense that the world in *Unsound Love* is a completely different world from our own, we decided that every single sound in the game should be created using a musical instrument.

Unsound Love is an open-world horror escape room where nothing is explained. You are born into a new world through the backseat of a wrecked car. Trapped in a time loop. Understand it — or stay trapped forever.

Here’s some gameplay from two worlds in Code of Shadows. Each dimension brings a different environment to fight through, and this is just a small preview of what’s planned for Early Access.

Between fighting waves of enemies, upgrading your build, and making use of your drones, there’s plenty to keep track of during a run.

The demo is already out on Steam if you want to give it a try!

Hey everyone!

As part of our Demo Update v0.2.0 for Champion of the Lore, we finally added a complete in-game Settings Menu!

Being able to take the community feedback and give players full control over how the game runs and feels has been one of the most satisfying parts of this journey.

If you haven't checked out the updated demo yet, it's live on Steam:

Playtesters Needed for My Game, Dark Descent (PSX Horror) Hey everyone I'm working on a game called Dark Descent. It’s a retro PSX style horror game where you’re stuck inside a sub and have to turn a hand crank to descend.

While descending, anomalies will happen, and the only way to figure out what’s going on is to check a computer terminal in the sub. You have to monitor the computer, figure out what anomaly you're dealing with, and handle it. For example, if you hear something at the window, you have to flash your light at it, but doing that drains your power.

Current Build Info:

There isn't a main menu yet, so it just loads straight into the game. I’m mainly trying to see how the mechanics, difficulty, and pacing feel right now.

Recording & Credits:

Anyone who tests it and sends feedback gets their name in the credits. If you're able to record your gameplay so I can watch you play, that would be a huge help it's not required, but if you do record it, I'll put your name in a different color in the credits.

If you want to test it, leave a reply or message me and I'll send you the link here is a photo of game play

I'm trying to find an old mobile game I played several years ago, probably around 2018–2021, although it might be older. I played it on a phone, likely Android, in landscape mode.

The graphics were simple and geometric, with mostly black, white, and gray colors. The characters were completely black, with some 3D volume—not thin stick figures. The environments had simple, rectangular buildings.

You played as a sniper trying to kill an assassin before he could reach his victim. I think you could see the scene normally and press a button to bring up a movable aiming reticle. There were different locations and missions.

The clearest scene I remember: A woman was taking a shower inside a building, and I was looking at her through the windows from another building across the way. A black silhouette carrying a knife approached her, accompanied by suspenseful music. I had to shoot him before he reached her. If I missed, I think he ran away and could be seen going down the stairs. When you successfully shot someone, I remember the character falling.

Other details I'm less certain about:

- There may have been a mission where an assassin came out of a classic red British telephone booth.

- I vaguely remember two characters moving toward each other from opposite directions, and I had to shoot at the right moment when they met.

- After completing missions, there may have been a serious-sounding radio transmission announcing or commenting on the mission.

- I think the rifle may have been visible on screen before aiming.

I've looked at Stickman Sniper: Tap to Kill, LONEWOLF: A Sniper Story, and Sniper Assassin 3: Stickman, but none seems to be the game I remember.

Does anyone recognize it? Screenshots or gameplay videos would be really helpful. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, we are back with more updates. A lot of valuable feedback during playtest. Please check out our Demo and add your feedback.

We will be in Steam Next Fest from today onwards.

See you in Steam Next Fest!!

Hey everyone!

Steam Next Fest starts today, and I've just uploaded an updated demo of Sellsword, a fantasy sandbox RPG I've been working on.

The idea is pretty simple. You're not some chosen hero destined to save the world. You're just a mercenary trying to survive and make a name for yourself in a world where different kingdoms and factions are constantly fighting for power.

You start by developing your own build, whether you prefer melee combat, ranged weapons, or a mix of both. From there, you're free to explore a large interconnected world, travel between settlements, take contracts from local lords and factions, fight bandits and creatures, and explore caves, ruins, and dungeons looking for loot.

One of the main things I'm trying to achieve is making every playthrough feel like a different story.

There's a main storyline to follow, but also procedural quests and different factions you can work for. You can build your reputation, choose who to support, or simply wander around taking jobs and trying to stay alive.

Death is also a big part of the game. It's pretty easy to get yourself killed if you're not careful, and everything you do during your adventure is recorded in a journal. The idea is that when your character eventually dies, you'll have a chronicle of their life, including the places they visited, the people they met, and everything they managed to accomplish.

About the demo:

The current demo starts in Lake Town, a small settlement where you'll meet the local elder and take on a series of quests that lead you through the surrounding wilderness and eventually into a dungeon.

I've just uploaded a new update for Steam Next Fest with improvements and fixes. There's still plenty of work ahead, and the demo is only a small part of what I have planned for the full game.

I'm trying to keep the visuals relatively simple and old-school so I can focus more on the RPG mechanics, exploration, and sandbox elements.

Anyway, if you enjoy old-school RPGs where you can make your own decisions and see how long your character survives, I'd really appreciate it if you gave the demo a try.

I'd also love to hear your feedback, especially about the combat and the overall direction of the game.

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone!

Reddit suggested that this community might be a better place to share my game, so here I am! This seems like a really nice community!

Have you ever wondered why the Demon Lord always waits in a dungeon for the heroes to come, whether in JRPGs or games where you play as the villain?

I made a game where the Demon Lord strikes first, before the heroes grow too powerful.

The graphics may look simple, but the order in which you take down the heroes matters more than you might think!

Some heroes I added to the higher difficulties made me wonder if I'd gone too far. But my playtesters managed to beat them more easily than I expected, so now I'm wondering if I should have made them even harder!

The demo is currently under review by Steam, and I hope it'll be available soon. If no major issues come up, I plan to release the full game shortly afterward.
