Here's our debut game - PHASE ZERO. A modern take on survival horror’s golden era, told in a chapter-based, dual-hero story. Expect prerendered backgrounds, fixed cameras, and PSX-era DNA.
Oh, and meat-covered alleys. Lots of them.

In a space of a week, we got over 200 games that applied. Nuts.
Being the one that curates the line-up, your Steam store screenshots and key art are crucial. It's the first thing I see. Make sure your screens sell the USPs and the key art is pro.

I'm organising my first Steam sale. One that Valve already said yes to. I'm buzzing.
So far I already have some wicked games that said yes and I cannot wait to see how all of this will pan out.
If you're working on a game that fits - apply. And please help with an RT so more indie devs can see.

Fascinating video on Steam trends, especially these statistics- of all the games released in Steam in 2024, just 2.5% had the "LBGTQ+" tag and 7% had the "female protagonist" tag. This is supposedly the political trend that's overwhelming and destroying gaming.

I've started UNIKAT in June of this year and I couldn't have asked for better games to kick off my publishing label with.
Both Dystopika and POOLS are created by people who just want to make kick-ass games. I'm glad I could support them so that they can keep on creating and make a living doing it.
