Ventilate – Steampunk Bullet Hell
The Steampunk Game From Ink-Fox Studios. A single-player bullet-hell game in a steampunk world where constructs have gone rogue. Use steam to fuel your weapons. Find your family and escape the collapsing city.
Welcome to Hell
Set in a richly detailed steampunk world, Ventilate combines gritty industrial visuals with fast-paced, chaotic gameplay. The world is filled with rogue constructs—machines that have turned against their creators—creating a tense and immersive atmosphere.
Unique Steam-Powered Mechanics
Instead of traditional ammo, all weapons and gadgets are powered by steam pressure. Players must strategically recharge at vents scattered throughout the map, adding a layer of tactical depth to the action.
Intense, High-Octane Combat
You play as Rosalyn, a construction worker turned survivor, navigating a collapsing city while dodging waves of bullets and battling massive bosses—like a monstrous steam train that barrels through the battlefield.
Narrative-Driven Progression
The story is personal and urgent: Rosalyn is trying to find her family and escape the city. As you progress, you uncover the mystery behind the rogue constructs, which adds emotional weight and intrigue to the gameplay.
Award Recognition
It was nominated for Best Upcoming Game at the IMIRT Irish Game Awards in 2025, highlighting its innovation and quality within the indie game scene.
