For the first time EVER, play a demo of Battle Suit Aces right now on Steam.

Battle Suit Aces is a charming narrative deckbuilder from the team that brought you Battle Chef Brigade. You'll recruit, befriend, and upgrade your mech pilots on a heartfelt hunt for fabled alien superweapons: the Relic Suits. Command them across monster-infested galactic wilds through danger, tragedy, and comedic sci-fi shenanigans.



In the demo, you'll:

• meet your lovable crew
  
• recruit from the Hunters Guild and Suitsmith factions
  
• start uncovering the secrets of the Blue Crest relic stuif
  
• tangle with the Carrion Riders
  
• dispatch marauding monsters with your squad of Battle Suits
  
• enjoy bits of a soundtrack your ears will love

If you loved Battle Chef Brigade and you want to continue to support our small and passionate team, make sure to play the Battle Suit Aces Demo out NOW for LudoNarraCon (May 1st-5th), wishlist the game here on Steam, and join our Discord.

And if that wasn't enough, check out Carlos Eiene's behind the scenes showcase of the Carrion Riders battle theme:


See you on the Bridge! ✨

Hi everyone!
I am happy to share that the L.I.S.T.E.D. Steam page is officially live!
To keep you in the loop, here’s a peek at the Demo Roadmap.
Along with additional breakdowns.


[expand type=details expanded=false]

The demo will feature 15 unique mech types across 5 distinct movement styles: wheeled, tracked, bipedal, arachnid, and anti-grav—each tied to an in-universe corporation.
Each chassis offers unique physics and handling, ensuring every mech feels distinct in movement and customization. No reskins—every chassis has its own role in the arena.


Each pilot comes with a short backstory linked to their origin and criminal past.
Traits—both strengths and flaws—shape their performance in battle and reactions to events, adding depth and replayability.


Post-battle events will influence the game’s economy and narrative.
You’ll interact with corporate sponsors, navigate shifting loyalties, and make choices that affect how the world responds to your victory—or failure.


Mechs will have modular loadouts based on their chassis slots.
The demo includes 3 item rarities, each with unique visuals distinguishable in the arena. Mixing gear isn’t just cosmetic—it defines your strategy.



Each mech type handles differently, and AI opponents will follow the same movement rules as players. This ensures fair, skill-based combat—no cheating bots, just smart enemies.



Mech interaction is the focus, so arena visuals will be functional but minimal for now.
Weather effects and destructible environments are planned—and they’ll impact gameplay, not just visuals. Expect loadouts to perform differently in rain, dust, or electromagnetic storms.



The hangar will have a basic visual design in the demo, with support for paint jobs and early livery options.
Pilot quarters will be introduced, enhancing progression and immersion between fights.

Development is a deliberate process. These milestones define the path forward and maintain focus.
I look forward to sharing progress as the project evolves.

Welcome to L.I.S.T.E.D.!


-Alex

Oh, hello! It has been a little while. A quick one today to let you know that Acolyte is now available alongside Sub-Verge - a new psychological narrative/puzzle game - as part of the Deep Conversation Bundle.

As both games explore the notion of dialogue and conversation as a gameplay mechanic, putting them together in one thematically linked package made a lot of sense.


Conversation is a dangerous game. Manipulate a fractured band of renegade divers to reach the depths of this short narrative puzzle. Uncover alliances and expose betrayals — before something horrific from the dark abyss silences you all. Don’t let the conversation get too deep.



To celebrate the bundle, we've also whacked 50% off the game, deepening the discount you'll get from getting both games together even further.

Thanks!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m excited to share a big update about the game — and thank all of you who’ve supported the project so far!
🧠 What’s Changed?

What started as The Shopping Dead has now evolved into something tighter, faster, and more replayable — and with that comes a new name:

🎉 Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead

This shift reflects a major redesign of the game from its original action-platformer roots into a full-blown arcade roguelike. While the tone, humor, and zombie-punching spirit remain, the gameplay has been rebuilt from the ground up for short, chaotic runs and maximum replayability.
🎮 What Is Checkout Blitz Now?

In this new version, you’ll:

Complete randomized shopping runs during a zombie apocalypse

Punch your way through enemies and rival players in fast-paced matches

Choose from single player, co-op, or versus mode

Unlock new shopper classes and upgrade your stats

Survive collapsing stores, ridiculous hazards, and total retail mayhem

It’s fast. It’s funny. It’s retail warfare in a box.
❤️ A Note to Demo Players

If you played the earlier platformer-style demo — thank you! Your feedback and support helped shape this pivot. And don’t worry: the more adventure-esque world from that version isn’t gone forever. I fully plan to revisit that universe in a future standalone title, expanding on the characters and stories introduced in the original demo.

Hey everyone!

Just in case you hadn’t noticed…




This game has been a dream of mine for over 10 years, so to see it finished and ready to play is actually surreal. 🚂✨✨✨

You can expect:

• An adventure you just can’t say ‘No’ to!
  
• Highly branching storyline where your subconscious personality determines the ending.
  
• Strange cast of characters with serious baggage (not just the kind aboard the train).
  
• Love, loss, betrayal, and friendship.
  
• A PERSONALITY TEST to find out who YOU really are

I’ll leave you to experience this world for yourselves now, I really hope you enjoy it!

We promise not to judge you, and the Seer will try her best ⭐

Restoration of Rank Rating (applies to top 100 players)

Hark! It's the big day! Today, the debut game from both Interactive Tragedy and Pantaloon lands on Steam, launching straight into day one of everybody's favourite narrative games festival: LudoNarraCon.



We hope you enjoy the game. It's a labour of love from a team that love stories, and the way only games can deliver certain type of narrative experience. Sub-Verge is a small game, but does big things in the way it combines its story and characters with its puzzle logic.

Let us know what you think! The game's story is ripe for discussion and further conversation, so join us in the Steam discussions or over on Discord to delve deeper.

Some other exciting bits and pieces relating to the release...

We're really excited to be hosting Raygan and Laura from the Short Game Podcast, for a special LudoNarraCon stream of the game. You can find this on the game's Store page now, where we'll be rotating this with a fireside reading of Subtle Mind...

There is also an upcoming podcast about the game, which we'll keep you posted on once it goes live.

Indeed! Today also marks the release of Subtle Mind; the prequel novella to Sub-Verge, exploring events prior to the start of the game. Interactive Tragedy is led by Zach Dodson, an author and book-publisher who is bringing his literary prowess to both Sub-Verge itself, but also this accompanying work of fiction which expands the world and generally enriches the whole experience. If you're into the game and simply need to know more, this is the best place to start...



We're incredibly excited to be partnering with two fantastic developers for some exclusive bundles here on Steam.

First, expanding on the themes of water and the sea in general, we've chummed up with Gareth Damian Martin (Jump Over The Age) and Fellow Traveller for the Strange Seas Collection - giving you Sub-Verge and In Other Waters in one package.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/890720/In_Other_Waters/

We've also worked with the fine folks at Wispfire to pop the game into a bundle with Herald: The Complete Edition, which also launches today into LudoNarraCon. Herald is an interactive period drama, and choice-driven adventure set on the high seas...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2199510/Herald_The_Interactive_Period_Drama__Complete_Edition/

While we've hit launch day, we still have entries from Zach's Transmission series to share with you over the course of LudoNarraCon, delving deeper into both the game's world and lore, and the development of the game behind the scenes. Keep an eye out for this in the coming days...

Huge thanks for taking the time to read this and check out the game - we hope you enjoy your time navigating the dark depths of Sub-Verge's world.
