Katanaut - Voidmaw - Demo is live! A cosmic horror action-roguelite with precision combat.
🎥 IGN Trailer
🎮 Steam/Wishlist
Hi! I’m the solo indie dev of Katanaut, which is a fast-paced action-roguelite blending fluid combat with a blend of cosmic horror. After a lot of hard work, Katanaut now has a demo live on Steam! If you're curious about the gameplay, check out Splattercatgaming's play through here!
The premise behind Katanaut is you're set aboard a massive space station falling into cosmic chaos. With the station slowly spiraling out of control, and its once-human inhabitants twisted into terrors, you’re the unlucky one tasked with uncovering what is going on... assuming you’re able to survive the station's violent halls with souls-like combat.
The combat is quick, technical, and built around player expression, with off-hand weapons, skills, perks, and implants that let you tweak your play style as you go. I’ve been working on this project, trying to make something that feels fluid, satisfying, and rewarding to master. It’s been a huge challenge, but also a lot of fun, and I’d love for people to check it out and let me know what they think.
🎮 The demo is live now! It covers the early game and should give a good taste of the combat and progression. If you try it out, I’d really appreciate any feedback—whether here, on Discord, or through the feedback forms in the game. And if it’s something you’re into, wishlisting helps a ton!
Hope you enjoy, and thanks for taking a look!
