Unveiled with an exclusive trailer during the PC Gaming Show, independent publisher Spaghetti Cat and developer Team VAC announced their upcoming stealth-action horror title P.O.N., which has already garnered 800,000 wishlists on Steam. Slated for a Q2 2027 release, the game flips the traditional superhero narrative, where instead of saving the city, players find themselves on the other side of the law, operating as members of a criminal syndicate in a world. And “superheroes” are not paragons of virtue, but terrifying, unstoppable hunters.
For a long time, you’ve been scraping by on the leftovers of cheap jobs. Until one day you applied for a contract they call “The Big Score”. After the bidding process, you outbid your competition. The Score is yours, and only one task remains—retrieve everything specified in the terms. By any means necessary.
However, “they” used to protect you, and now one of them stands between you and the Score. And they already know you’re coming.
In P.O.N., players must navigate dark locations, and complete tasks for the syndicate. Remember to not abandon your teammates, as lone wolves don’t secure deals; they find themselves on the blacklist. Not to mention that every shadow could hide a “hero” ready to deliver a brutal brand of justice. Stay dedicated, and remember: your employer doesn’t forgive mistakes.
