It's been a while since our store page launch. Today, I'd like to showcase some of the new features we've recently developed and discuss our plans for upcoming demo versions. We anticipate that the game will be available in Early Access this winter.



Before the official release, we plan to launch two major demo versions (Demo1 and Demo2).

Demo1 is expected to be released by the end of June. This version will primarily showcase the combat gameplay and some in-game progression, including 8 regular levels, 1 elite monster battle, and 1 boss battle.

Demo2 is expected to be released by the end of August. This version will further refine the combat and progression systems and introduce out-of-game progression features.

We are also seeking publishing partners for our game. If you are interested, please contact us via email at: madgoatgamestudio@gmail.com.

minor fix,update.

Attention all operators!

Weekend playtest has commenced a few hours early!

We don't want to diminish how excited we are for this test but we also want to remind everyone to temper expectations accordingly. This is a Pre-Release Steam Playtest that helps us gather data and feedback for the next phase of development.

Our Goals are

1. To field test the changes to the product publicly and gather feedback and data
2 To keep our commitment to our community and let them play before we ask them to play



We can't be much more transparent than that.

We are a small 3 man team but we know exactly the road we need to take to make Exfil a reality.

Our ask is for those who enjoy the product to take the path with us over the next months and years.

NOW.. time for the operation to begin.

Good luck Operators!

Exfil Out!

Patch Notes

- Minor bug fix to settings menu for directional button navigation
- Slight modification to tomb in preparation for June Challenge Update

We have modified how they work so know you should be able to earn achievements, with new or old save data

Greetings, my friends!

Wraithbinder is a fast-paced action roguelike game with secrets, loot, necromancy and ability progression set in the Songbringer universe, created by solo dev and yours truly, Wizard Fu.

It's now in Early Access!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2126370/Wraithbinder


The events of Wraithbinder take place hundreds of years before Songbringer, on the planet Yuerder, where the character Zero was born. Yuerder was once a lush, Earth-like planet but eons of thick, dark cloud cover transformed most of the oxygen-breathing life into nocturnal and bioluminescent creatures while its people built cities to float above the clouds. In Wraithbinder you play as the Captain of a sky sailor ship who discovers an enigmatic, floating city...




This is an Early Access game, which means there is more to come before it is finished. Act I of III of Wraithbinder's story is playable now, this represents about 1/3 of the content the game will eventually have at 1.0 launch. Plans are to be in Early Access for at least one year.

Two major things are coming during Early Access: Act II and online co-op multiplayer! Act III will come along with the 1.0 launch.




It's up to you and whether you'd rather play the early version and help shape the game as it develops, or whether you'd rather play the final 1.0 version. The game is priced low right now because it is Early Access but the price will increase at 1.0 launch.




During Early Access there will be small updates every week or so and big updates every month or so. Please share your feedback on the Discord, the Steam forum, or email. There are links in the game.

I listen to your feedback & work to incorporate your suggestions into improving the game regularly. You can watch my Wraithbinder live development stream each week on Twitch. Feel free to just chat with me or share your suggestions.




If you like Wraithbinder, please follow it on Steam. And if you get it, please leave a review!

Thanks for playing Songbringer and I hope you enjoy Wraithbinder! I appreciate your support and encouragement.


Nat (the dev)
