Stip Wants You To Play With Numbers - Demo Out Now Ahead of Steam Next Fest October
Belgian solodev Sam Agten (SixtyFour) released the demo for Stip ahead of its participation in October's Steam Next Fest. Stip* is a deceptively simple number puzzle game where rules are discovered, puzzles misbehave, and looking too closely may be a mistake.
There is more than meets the eye in Stip. On the surface, it's a simple puzzle game, but you'll unlock the dark secrets of the narrative layer by layer as you progress.
"Hi there! Please, come in and enjoy our number puzzles. Use the constraints to assign the correct numbers. Assign, undo, deduce, repeat. Please refrain from touching anything else. There are more puzzles for you, that way. Please ignore any odd behaviour, we’ll have that looked at. You are doing great!"
- Stip
The Metroidbrainia puzzle game will release later this year, but the demo is out now and awaits your puzzle-solving mind. Will you find all of the secrets?

Winner at the Belgian Game Awards: Most Anticipated Game
The brilliance behind the puzzles and (meta)narrative mostly shines through when you get a chance to experience it for yourself. The Belgian Game Awards jury obviously felt the same about Stip, as they awarded it the Most Anticipated Belgian Game release of 2026.
