Escape the Hand in Lostbound's Steam Next Fest demo!
Indie developer Tenkarider, alongside publisher Tambù Digital, is excited to announce that the action-RPG roguelite Lostbound will participate in Steam Next Fest from June 15–22 with a thrilling updated playable demo.
Blending retro-inspired exploration with high-stakes roguelite progression, Lostbound challenges players to find the lost artefacts while being relentlessly pursued by a mysterious force known only as The Hand. Every decision matters as the world crumbles behind you, paths disappear, and survival becomes a race against time.
Available throughout Steam Next Fest, the demo offers players their first chance to experience the opening region of Lostbound, uncover powerful artifacts, experiment with multiple weapons, and begin shaping their own playstyle through a range of permanent upgrades. Players can also choose between Adventure Mode and Campaign Mode, offering two distinct ways to experience the journey and tackle the dangers ahead.
At the heart of Lostbound is The Hand, an ever-present threat that constantly reshapes the adventure. Darkness spreads across the world with every step, destroying locations and limiting safe routes forward. Venture too far into the shadows and players will find themselves trapped within dangerous dungeons where powerful rewards await, but lingering too long risks drawing the attention of The Hand itself. Every run becomes a delicate balance between exploration, risk, and survival as the world slowly disappears around you.
Throughout Steam Next Fest, players will also be able to tune in to a special Steam Broadcast hosted by the development team, featuring live gameplay, behind-the-scenes insights into the creation of Lostbound, and a closer look at the systems driving its unique roguelite adventure.
About Lostbound
In Lostbound, the ground beneath your feet is anything but stable. Every movement leaves a permanent mark on the world, and retracing your steps too often risks destruction as The Hand tears apart the paths behind you. As safe routes disappear and darkness spreads, players must carefully plan their journey while adapting to an ever-changing world.
Exploration rewards bravery. Hidden throughout the world are dangerous dungeons filled with powerful artefacts, upgrades, and opportunities to strengthen your build. Yet every reward comes with risk, as time spent in the darkness brings The Hand ever closer.
With procedurally generated dungeons, dynamic artefact combinations, multiple weapons, and ever-changing challenges, no two runs unfold the same way. Success depends on careful planning, smart resource management, and learning how to stay one step ahead of the force determined to claim you.
Lostbound is coming to PC via Steam later this year. Download the Steam Next Fest demo from June 15–22, wishlist the game today, and discover how long you can outrun The Hand.
