Watch the full Out of Bounds Showcase below.

Winter Whiskers — Updated Demo

Winterlight Harbor has been hit by an unexpected blizzard, and you’ve got a town to get back on its feet. Mango Leaf Games is bringing an updated demo of Winter Whiskers, a cozy cleaning simulation where you use a snow vacuum to clear roads, repair steam pipes, and help the residents prepare for their Winter Festival.

That snow doesn’t go to waste, either. Feed it into the town’s furnaces and it becomes steam, restoring lights and warming homes. You’ll work through four increasingly large areas, picking up tools to blow away snow, clear ice, and free frozen objects. Along the way, errands give you a chance to get to know the people you’re helping.

Draftula — New Gameplay Trailer

Team Draftula’s new gameplay trailer shows off a roguelike take on the block-dropping puzzler. In Draftula, the pieces are rooms, and your job is to stack them into a towering castle. Where you put each room matters: neighboring rooms can grant bonuses that help your fortress reach even greater heights.

Between attempts, you can visit the surrounding town to learn more about the Count and why you’re building in the first place. Gems earned during runs unlock more rooms to experiment with. Just keep an eye on the troublesome hero who threatens to bring your hard work crashing down.

Fear Tall Grass — Playtest Trailer

Forgotten Bastions is sharing a playtest trailer for Fear Tall Grass, a medieval dark-fantasy RPG that mixes creature collecting with roguelite systems. Humanity is close to extinction, and survival means capturing and using the elemental creatures people once worshipped.

You’ll explore a dangerous board, keep track of your time and resources, and build a team of creatures known as Vilekin. Strategic auto-battles, creature evolution, quests, and ability upgrades give you ways to strengthen that team as you try to reclaim a world swallowed by tall grass.

Stickerino — Returning Trailer

Contresort is bringing an earlier trailer for Stickerino to the showcase. This roguelite deckbuilder is all about slapping stickers onto cards and stacking multipliers to beat the score counter. Snacks and game-changing Monstraks give you more options for tackling the Sticker Wizard’s challenges.

Pecado — Returning Trailer

Solid Neon’s Pecado appears with a returning trailer, offering another look at its first-person psychological survival horror. Set in rural Spain in the 1990s, the game draws on religion, folklore, and ancient secrets to build its unsettling world.

Resources are limited, so you’ll need to decide when to fight, when to hide, and when to run. Exploration and pieces of the story gradually help you work out what happened here, while sinister presences make it harder to tell where faith and superstition end and reality begins.

Precious Nightmare — Launch-Date Announcement

Happy Break Bones is bringing a launch-date announcement for Precious Nightmare. This narrative walking simulator follows Rosa, who falls asleep while waiting at a police station and finds herself in the confusing spaces of her dreams.

As you move through her nightmares and imagined moments of beauty, you’ll learn about her tragic life and the conclusions she’s drawn from it. The story asks you to consider difficult moral questions and decide whether you agree with her.

Wundertrench — Returning Trailer

Studio Scarmetal is revisiting Wundertrench with a returning trailer. This isometric, turn-based tactical RPG adds roguelike elements to a grim setting: Ostvengr, a collapsing militaristic empire under siege from creatures made of metal and flesh.

You’ll send squads of four into an otherworldly living trench to recover resources and technology. Positioning and teamwork matter, and keeping the horrors below at bay may mean making sacrifices along the way.

Oniria — Returning Trailer

Frog Team’s returning trailer introduces the world of Oniria, a psychological horror game built around story, puzzles, and exploration. It’s 2004, and Ángela has received a letter telling her that her father has died unexpectedly. She returns to the northern Spanish village she once called home to investigate.

As you explore and solve puzzles, you’ll uncover the villagers’ secrets, encounter dark rural legends, and learn how Ángela’s traumatic childhood connects to what’s happening now. The village’s past has a way of catching up with its present.

Midgardr — Launch-Date Trailer

Holy Radish is bringing a launch-date trailer for Midgardr, which combines board-game strategy, village building, and a story shaped by your decisions.

You play a Duke sent to build and defend a settlement at the edge of the realm. Your choices can help it flourish or send it toward collapse. Alongside the building and defending, there’s a mystery to unravel about the board itself and who the Duke really is.

Haunted Cleaner — Showcase Appearance

HeadKino Games’ Haunted Cleaner is part of the lineup, though the press information doesn’t specify a new announcement. You play a psychic cleaner who tidies and decorates the homes of people who have died, helping the spirits they’ve left behind find peace.

The cleaning comes with light puzzles and little pressure, giving you room to take in each home’s story. Rooms and everyday objects offer clues about the people who lived there, so paying attention to your surroundings is part of helping their spirits move on.

SOMBRAS: Negative Frames — Demo Trailer

Maboroshi Artworks, the studio behind Last Time I Saw You, is sharing a trailer highlighting the demo for SOMBRAS: Negative Frames. This first-person narrative adventure mixes photography with light horror and follows Shiomi Alterio, a Japanese-Spanish photography student living in a Japanese town in the 2000s.

Shiomi is drawn into a dark reflection of familiar streets, where she must photograph strange sights, survive unsettling encounters, and piece together fragments of herself. Her story explores youth, art, mixed identity, and a troubled family life.

Blade & Madness — New Gameplay Trailer

Crimson Birds Studio has a new gameplay trailer for Blade & Madness, a cosmic-horror roguelite deckbuilder. After a ship is dragged onto the shores of a forgotten Atlantic island, its occupants must face the horrors waiting there and find a way out.

Turns happen simultaneously, and growing madness can change your cards, warp the battlefield, and make enemies harder to predict. You’ll have to keep adjusting your strategy as the rules shift around you.

Void Reaver — New Gameplay Trailer

Banana Blitz’s new Void Reaver gameplay trailer brings together sci-fi bullet-heaven combat and backpack management. You’re stranded on a deteriorating alien planet, climbing an alien monolith while fitting weapons and artifacts into a grid to build useful combinations.

Placing items next to one another can grant bonuses, and merging them gives you another way to improve your setup. Your weapons fire automatically, leaving you to focus on dodging enemies and moving through encounters. The planned arsenal includes more than 100 weapons and 200 artifacts, with character skill trees and a shared ship tech tree providing progression between runs.

There’s also an electronic soundtrack from studio co-creator Nibana and collaborators, along with a jukebox that lets you customize the music.

Fugue Shot: Minigame Roguelike — Returning Trailer

Rare Dialect is bringing a returning trailer for Fugue Shot: Minigame Roguelike. The game packs 10 arcade-inspired games into one roguelike, taking you through an ever-changing dreamscape as you try to escape.

Its encounters, called Omens, range from strategic puzzles to fast-paced action arenas. Collectible Memories change properties across those encounters, so an upgrade can affect several different minigames rather than just one.

BINGONE — Reveal Trailer

A La Fresca Studio is revealing BINGONE, a bingo-inspired roguelike where stickers, combos, and rule-changing effects turn a familiar game into a strategy challenge. You’ll manipulate your board and stack bonuses to turn one bingo into a chain reaction.

The game promises more than 150 stickers, over 50 amulets, and more than 20 bosses. Stickers can shuffle numbers, revive numbers that have already paid out, or turn them into bombs. Amulets and bosses add their own twists, giving you more reasons to rethink your approach.

Infamous Keepers — Demo Launch

Goblinz Studio is bringing a demo launch for Infamous Keepers, a tower-defense and tactical roguelite set in the Legend of Keepers universe. As a Dungeon Keeper, you’re responsible for protecting the dungeon—and keeping your job.

That means placing towers and traps, sending employees into battle, and stepping in yourself when intruders get through. The game takes the universe’s dungeon-management premise and combines planning your defenses with dealing with the trouble that survives them.
