Early Access Highlights

Discover these gems released between Mar 16, 2025 - Apr 15, 2025, already making waves in Early Access.

Sledders

Nautical Survival

Load the cannons, hire your crew, and dive into a salty bullet-hell at sea. This auto-shooter survivor sails fast, hits hard, and turns every run into a storm of upgrades, monsters, and glorious naval chaos.

Roman Triumph

Raise a Roman city from dust to dominance in this colony-sim with teeth. Fortify your walls, appease fickle gods, and battle barbarian hordes and mythical beasts alike—from Minotaurs to Hydras—before they tear your empire apart.

Sephiria

Descend a doomed tower as a sword-swinging rabbit, weaving between relics, roguelite builds, and morally flexible woodland creatures. Cute pixel art meets fast, crunchy combat in a world one floor from collapse.

Drive Beyond Horizons

Chart your course across sweeping landscapes in a fully customizable ride, where every peak hides a secret and every dune could be your last. Roam, tinker, and survive in a procedurally generated world that doesn’t care if you make it to the next sunrise.

Erenshor

An offline MMO where the party never logs off. Form bonds with hundreds of SimPlayers, grind rare drops, and carve your legend in a vast, persistent world built entirely for solo play. No microtransactions, just memories.

Godstone

Descend into a crumbling city at war, where betrayal cuts deep and the only way out is through. Build your loadout, slay monstrous bosses, and chase the godstone before it falls into the wrong hands—or worse, yours.

Sledders

Dig deep, carve hard, and throw your sled sideways in a powder playground that doesn’t care if you get stuck. This open-world snowmobile sim is all physics, all vibes, and all about finding your own line through the backcountry.

A Merchant's Promise

No quest markers, no inventory, no hand-holding. Just you, your wares, and a physics sandbox where every item must be physically carried, traded, and tossed. Build your rep, survive the wilds, and earn your way from back-alley haggler to the King’s chosen vendor.

Splintered

Each time you win, the villain shatters the world. Classic turn-based combat meets chaotic randomisation as towns, loot, and enemy traits remix with every cycle. Equip spells, build your class, and adapt to the unpredictable in a retro RPG that begins like tradition—but refuses to stay that way.
