Rescue Party updated the Steam demo for its first-person dungeon crawler Greed & Darkness on September 30, 2026, adding support for 13 languages including Japanese. The game puts players inside a cursed fortress in search of treasure, with a torch as the main tool: lighting it reveals hidden paths and traps but makes the player easier for enemies to spot, so light and darkness are used by situation. It began as a student project at a vocational training school and later found a publisher. The same update adds a combat tutorial, fixes a bug related to inventory saving, corrects the button display for Xbox controllers, and supports tutorial video playback on Steam Deck. Greed & Darkness is scheduled to arrive soon on PC via Steam.
Denfaminicogamer describes the game as a hand-drawn 2D pixel-art dungeon crawler rendered to look like 3D, rather than the 3D dungeon crawler other coverage uses. Players carry a sword and shield and fight with parrying and thrown bombs.
The demo's hero is a young man appointed by the town mayor and told not to leave the dungeon until he brings back 1,000 gold. Dungeon combat is real time. Enemies attack by swinging weapons upward, right, and left, so parrying requires matching the swing direction with correct timing. Some enemies throw bombs, which can be sent back the same way.
Safe Rooms inside the dungeon let players buy items and rest. Their proprietor tells the player, "During the nighttime hours, you must not walk around the dungeon."
Denfaminicogamer calls the combat a "memorization game" where timing and positioning matter, easy to feel growth in but unforgiving of a single mistake. Giving in to greed and misjudging when to withdraw leads to "ruin."
