CRITICAL REFLEX, the publisher behind popular indie hits like "Buckshot Roulette," "Mouthwashing," and "Look Outside," showcased three eerie upcoming titles at the MIX Autumn Game Show today. The demo for the oppressive horror narrative game "Rusty City Remnants" is now live on Steam, while new trailers were revealed for the horror cooking Roguelite "Satiation" and the supernatural detective adventure "Blood Ink Mystery." Additionally, the cyberpunk Metroidvania "Cyber Soul" unveiled a new trailer earlier this week at the Galaxies showcase.
Details announced at this showcase are as follows:
"Rusty City Remnants" — Demo Now Available
As the headline launch of this showcase, the story-driven atmospheric horror game "Rusty City Remnants" demo is now live on Steam, covering the first two chapters of the game. You play as an apartment building manager beginning your journey in the city of Huta-Grobnov in 1983. As locals whisper about a strange substance called "Thick Soup" devouring the streets, and the church secretly tightens its control over your community, you must piece together what is happening through newspapers, unsettling conversations, and a homemade radio. But you may find that, as they say, some things are better left buried forever.
"Satiation" — Demo Coming Soon
The horror cooking Roguelite "Satiation" has released a brand-new trailer, with its first demo coming soon. In this decadent world, your only tool is a conscious, cursed refrigerator that operates like a mad slot machine. Pull the lever, bet Everythinggj, and pray customers leave satisfied, or you'll end up as the main course. Interested chefs can apply for playtest access on Steam now.
"Blood Ink Mystery" — Demo Now Available
The supernatural detective adventure "Blood Ink Mystery" has released a brand-new trailer, and its demo is now available on Steam. Step into a world of occultism and absurdity to solve 10 unique cases, each filled with escape-room-style puzzles and intricate mechanisms. Freely explore inside and outside carriages, experiencing non-linear investigation inspired by titles like "The Case of the Golden Idol" and "Strange Horticulture." But heed this warning: not all mysteries are meant to be solved.
Furthermore, more major announcements are on the way! The second CRITICAL REFLEX TIME showcase will air on Bilibili at 10 PM Beijing time on October 21, bringing the latest news on titles such as "Pipes.exe," "Traces of the Drowned Lake," and "Dreams and Destruction," along with more surprises.
Head to Steam to download the demos for "Rusty City Remnants" and "Blood Ink Mystery," apply for playtest access for "Satiation" on its store page, and add all three games to your wishlist. Tune in to the official Bilibili partner livestreams ("Half a Cigarette sama" or "Are You Nana's Cutie?") so you don't miss any major bombs from CRITICAL REFLEX TIME.
