Ringleaders has been selected to participate in Steam’s SHMUP Fest

We’re excited to announce that Ringleaders will be participating in Steam’s SHMUP Fest, which runs from September 25 - October 2. We’re merging tense and chaotic shoot ‘em up gameplay with social deduction mechanics—join the fight.

What is Ringleaders?

Work together with up to 8 teammates to fight your way through the retro-futuristic city of Carillon, while carrying out the orders of Aurora, leader of the Cyphers. You’ll have to smuggle precious Luminos tonic, destroy enemy stockpiles, and rescue hostages, all while fending off the sentries of the NERVOS corporation.

Not only are the agents of NERVOS out to stop you at every turn, they’ll also offer impressive sums of money to reward Cyphers who turn against their own team. With trust as your most valuable and vulnerable asset, tread carefully in a world where friends can quickly become foe in the blink of an eye. Will you collaborate with your fellow Cyphers, or will you become an informant for NERVOS?

When can I play the game?

We haven’t announced an official launch date yet, but we’re now hosting regular playtests for select individuals who want to be among the first to play Ringleaders and provide feedback to help shape the game.
