Hello Inmates!
This is our first-ever Steam devlog, and we're kicking it off with incredible news:
Arcade Asylum just won the Indie Game Award at Gaming Con Bharat!
We showcased the game for the very first time as part of the IndieVerse, and the response was overwhelming. Players laughed, screamed, cursed, speed-ran, sabotaged each other, and begged for “just one more run.” That is exactly the kind of chaos we hoped to create.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, shared feedback, competed with friends, and helped bring the Asylum alive for the first time.
What Is Arcade Asylum?
If you're new here (and since this is our first devlog, you probably are!) — Arcade Asylum is a chaotic multiplayer minigame gauntlet where each world has its own genre and art style.
You and your friends are trapped by the mysterious Pirate Gamer, who has stitched together stolen games into a multiverse of unpredictable challenges.
Whether you prefer:
Competitive duels
Co-op survivals
Speedrun gauntlets
High-difficulty chaos
We’ve built something for you.
What We’re Working On Next
More Minigames
We’re expanding the roster with brand new minigames and a new single-player mode called Chain Countdown.
This joins the existing modes:
Pick’n Practice – learn individual minigames at your own pace
Hi-Score Hitlist – chase a high score across multiple minigames in one run
Revamping Visuals and UI
Our initial focus was making the game fun and addictive.
Now that you’ve shown us we’re on the right track, we’re working on upgrading the visuals, style, polish, and UI across the entire game.
Multiplayer Re-Integration
Some of you who played the early build during GDC 2025 experienced our multiplayer mode.
Attendees at Gaming Con Bharat played the single-player slice.
The next version will bring both together into the full package.
Creator Program
Hundreds of creators have shown interest in Arcade Asylum across GDC 2025, Gaming Con Bharat, and online playtests.
We’ll launch our formal creator-access wave soon. Stay tuned!
