Greetings!
Ghost Keeper is a story-driven single player experience in which you control ghastly and monstrous minions to frighten and remove humans from what rightfully belongs to its demonic citizens. Visit distinct Victorian locations and use your tactical prowess to terrorize the people living there. Each minion that you control has a set of unique abilities that needs to be mindfully deployed to leverage success, but beware, not all humans are so defenseless - the Brotherhood of Light may be summoned to deal with your shenanigans.
[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2708880/Ghost_Keeper/"][/dynamiclink]
Ghost Keeper mixes strategy and puzzle game elements with a reverse light-horror setting and a good dose of grotesque humor.
[p align="justify"]Game Features:
[p align="justify"]Take control of ghosts, demons, and monsters, use their unique abilities to defeat your enemies.
[p align="justify"]Fight the malicious Brotherhood, show the world who is the ultimate Keeper of fearful creatures.
[p align="justify"]Exploit varied strategies, there is never a single path to victory - the way you lead is entirely up to you.
[p align="justify"]Marvel at the Victorian era setting, locations, style and atmosphere that’ll captivate you on each subsequent level.
[p align="justify"]It is an ultimate scaring experience! Remember that only through fear, can you claim true power!
About Early Access

Play through an engaging story in 6 unique locations which serve as complex and long missions, with a set of updating objectives that need to be completed to progress forward. A step-by-step tutorial will ease you into the ways of the Keeper as you learn how to best use the monsters’ skills over the environment and its human inhabitants.
Completing the Early Access plot line will unlock a sandbox mode, in which you can deploy your ghastly minions to any of the previously visited locations and take full advantage of their skills as you try to outmaneuver those pesky humans!

Ciao wannabe Pizza Managers!
We’re setting up a limited access, closed playtest for Pizza Slice - our upcoming cozy simulator in which you run a pizza restaurant business. The test is scheduled to last from August 26th until September 16th. To join, simply go to Pizza Slice’s Steam Store Page and click the green “Request Access” button to be viable for participation.
It’s 100% free with the only requirement being able to run the game (that is being above the minimal system requirements).
Here’s the latest trailer for the game, enjoy!

🍕About Pizza Slice
If you’ve been dreaming of running an Italian restaurant with traditions right out of a cozy depiction of New York city, then you’re in for a treat! Pizza Slice is more than just a simulator, it is a true Italian adventure! Take on the role of Tonio, manage your family pizzeria, bake authentic Italian pizzas, fight the competition and grow your business. See if you can win the title of the best pizzeria in the area!
Game features:
[p align="justify"]• The Dream - Experience a cozy Italy in the heart of a romanticized New York City: run an Italian pizzeria in the middle of a bustling American metropolis. • The Business - owning a restaurant is not only about the food, but also managing ingredients, doing prep work, cleaning, and being the front face of the establishment. In Pizza Slice you need to master the whole business of running a restaurant, not only the food.
• The Buzz - you need to think on your feet - expand the amount of tables, buy better kitchenware, learn or create new recipes, fight your competition and fend off the culinary mafia all while doing your everyday chores. • A cozy simulation - the above points make you sweaty? Relax and have-a-go! Pizza Slice at its heart is a romantic and humorous depiction of what it means to run a modern restaurant business. • A portion for two - you will have your unique staff at the restaurant but why not invite a friend and play together? It’s half the buzz and double the fun!
[/hr]
🥓What can you expect from the build?
A single player experience, which will showcase the basic gameplay loop: from shopping for ingredients, through prep work, to creating pizzas, serving them and keeping your clientele satisfied. The game will allow you to play for 5 in-game days - enough to get a grasp for the mechanics and the flow of the game, while leaving an appetite for more.
The amount of available ingredients and ways in which you can expand your restaurant and your business will be limited. However, you will still be able to compose your own pizzas and set your own prices for them.
Pizza Slice continues to be in development. The current state of the build does not represent the final quality of the game.
[/hr]
🌿Why are we doing the Playtest?
We strongly believe that modern games should be created alongside the game’s community. We’re looking forward to hearing your feedback about the overall enjoyment of the experience, how well the gameplay loop keeps you interested, and in which direction you would want to see the game expanding.
The playtests will help us find and resolve unforeseen issues and make the game experience tighter. If you have not been selected for this round of tests - don’t worry, you will remain in the pool of possible participants for any future playtests.
Please also bear in mind that this playtest will be a closed one, so no sharing or streaming yet - the game is still in development and not yet in a fully representative state for the general public. Thank you for respecting the embargo.
