Indie Spotlight | Coloured Static Press
The official Steam demo page confirms that Garden Souls is a 2D action roguelite developed by Statera Studio and published by Nuntius Games and Vsoo Games. Its demo launched on 6 October 2026 and features four Garden Princesses, customisable strikes and six elemental forces. This is an editorial discovery based on official information, not a hands-on review.
Garden Souls has caught our attention with its striking pixel-art world, vivid purple platforms and a combat-focused pitch aimed at fans of stylish action games.
A garden with teeth
The developer’s latest gameplay post shows a side-scrolling, fantasy-flavoured environment packed with bright foliage, strange creatures and fast-moving attacks. The visual style contrasts playful colours with dangerous encounters.
The inspirations
In its social pitch, the team name-checks Devil May Cry, Hades, Absolum and Spiritfall as points of comparison. Those are the developer’s comparisons, not a claim that Garden Souls reproduces the mechanics or scope of any of those games.
What we still need to confirm
An official store listing, release window and demo availability were not visible in the supplied post. We’ll keep this as an early indie discovery rather than label it a confirmed Steam Next Fest title.
