Critical Reflex Debuts ‘Grobnopolis | Last Days’ Gameplay Trailer, ‘Sated’ Playtest Signups [Video]
Critical Reflex has followed up the April reveal of Bananadevjeff’s Grobnopolis | Last Days with a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming narrative horror adventure, as well as announcing signups for the first playtest for their recently-announced roguelike horror cooking game, SATED.
For those who missed it, Grobnopolis | Last Days continues and expands the story of Bananadevjeff’s itch.io hit Funeralopolis, and casts players as an apartment block caretaker in 1983 Huta-Grobno. You find fragile comfort in keeping things running smoothly while the city curdles into panic. When the locals begin to whisper of a thick “Soup” overtaking the streets and the local ecclesiastical order tightens its grip on your community, you must piece together what’s happening through newspapers, uneasy conversations, and a homemade radio. Though you may find in this slow, oppressive atmospheric horror experience that curiosity is both compass and curse.
Meanwhile, SATED is a cooking roguelike from developer Forest Reges, where you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.
As mentioned, you can sign up for the upcoming playtest via the official Steam page. Just click the “Request Access” button and wait.

Horror Action-Adventure Title ‘EONA’ Appearing at Gamescom 2026; New Gameplay Trailer Released [Watch]
With gamescom 2026 right around the corner, developer/publisher SUPER AC has revealed that their upcoming horror adventure game EONA will be making an appearance at the show, which takes place from August 26-30. In addition, the team has revealed a new gameplay trailer, as well as announcing that the game will launch “just a few weeks” after gamescom.
Those attending gamescom will be able to play the final version of EONA at the SUPER AC booth, located in Hall 10.1, Booth A043. If you’re not able to attend, you can always check out the demo for the game on Steam.
EONA centres around the eponymous girl, who after a failed spell, has her soul split into two, with one half residing in a mysterious puppet. Eona must enter the castle of the evil fairy Mélusine and recover an artifact that is the only hope of saving her mother. But the path through the castle comes at a cost. To achieve her goal, Eona must uncover the castle’s secrets… and ultimately confront Mélusine herself.
Eona wields the Puppeteer’s Cross, a stolen artifact that allows her to manipulate the souls of the castle’s servants. By altering their behavior, redirecting their patrol routes, and disrupting the castle’s order, she can turn its own inhabitants against it. She can also swap between her human body and her puppet form, with each form granting unique abilities that are essential for delving deeper into the castle, reaching inaccessible areas, and uncovering its hidden secrets.
Blending stealth, exploration, puzzle-solving and soul manipulation, you’ll use Eona’s supernatural abilities to overcome obstacles—but never lose sight of your own body, which is completely vulnerable when using her puppet form.
In addition to Steam, EONA will also be launching on the Epic Games Store.
