Death Union and Flashlight Games announced that their dungeon exploration adventure The Hero Party Has Been Annihilated. has surpassed 100,000 Steam wishlist registrations. The full version is scheduled for release on July 22, 2026. The game will also be playable as a demo at the BitSummit PUNCH indie event in Kyoto from May 22 to 24.
The game's premise is built around a single choice: the player is the last survivor of a hero rescue team and must pick one of four cursed party members to escape the dungeon with. Each member has a distinct flaw-a hero who can only say yes or no, a mage who lost her magic, a warrior whose soul is trapped in a doll, and a priest who worships a dangerous god. The choice changes both the strategy and the story.
Combat uses a roguelite card system with timing-action attacks and limited-use equipment. Conversation events during exploration affect the player's relationship with the chosen partner and can alter the story's outcome. The full version launches on Steam on July 22.
