Longtime Devolver collaborators Doinksoft (Gato Roboto, Demon Throttle) and Free Lives (Anger Foot, Terra Nil) are setting the indie game scene alight once again by detonating an explosive pair of demos today, for free! The all-new Gunbrella & Stick it to the Stickman demos will be available through Steam Next Fest, which runs from October 3-10.

In addition, legendary indie gaming auteur, Sos Sosowski (McPixel, McPixel 2 [cancelled]) has revealed that a newly updated demo for his magnum opus, McPixel 3, will collide into Steam Next Fest complete with 9 new levels, 3 new minigames, 1 new Steve level and 100% more fun!

Stick it to the Stickman is a groin-kicking, staple-gunning, chainsaw-wielding roguelike brawler loaded with high-impact, physics-based combat, copious amounts of coffee and weaponised farts! A leaked company memo indicates that applications for aspiring interns will open in 2023.

Gunbrella is a noir-punk action-adventure set in a world dependent on a rapidly diminishing natural resource. Kinda like real life but with more rainproof weaponry. Players take the role of a gruff woodsman on a quest for revenge, armed with the mysterious Gunbrella: a firearm that doubles as an umbrella. Obviously. His investigation soon becomes entangled with the inner workings of ghouls and gangsters, cops and cutlists, and the fallout of corporate exploitation. Coming in 2023.

McPixel 3 is a mind-blowing save-the-day 2D adventure that sees the titular wanna-be hero avert one disaster after another at every turn using unconventional yet entertaining methods of mayhem, launching late 2022.
