Now, humanity is under assault by a new enemy. Calling themselves the Substrate, they seek to annihilate the human race from existence. You, as an up and coming member of the Post-Human Coalition, must deal with both this new menace as well as renegade humans trying to lay claim to their own worlds.”

Despot's Game – available September 15
“Guide puny humans through Despot's Game – a rogue-like tactics army battler. Equip your team and sacrifice them through procedural dungeons as you fight enemies, and other players! Prepare your warriors and let them fight it out on their own! Indirect combat allows you to focus heavily on tactical considerations rather than reflexes. Strengthen your front line with fridge-movers, aim your food-throwers and look after your Forbidden Summoners!
The dungeons are generated from scratch every time, and there is no chance puny humans will ever find the way out! And even if they strike lucky — don't worry, there are endless ways to die in Despot's Game!”
In Despot's Game, you control a group of people who wake up in a strange labyrinth. Equipped with no memories and a bunch of weapons, your team must do their best to survive this strange environment.
Equipping your squad with different loot turns them into wizards, cultists, ninjas, and a whole load of other heroes. Mix and match your team to turn them into survivors. In the labyrinth, you'll face a ton of monsters, but should you survive, you'll meet the end-game builds of other players in a battle to the death.
