Crytivo is publishing three PC games on Steam: The Crust, which left early access on September 11, 2026, Carnival Hunt in early access, and the announced Norse city-builder Thveit. The most recent release, The Crust, saw its peak Steam concurrent player count rise from 405 in August to 4,205 after the full release.
Crytivo's recent publishing slate runs on Steam early access. The company released Carnival Hunt, a 5v1 asymmetric survival horror game from an unnamed developer, on July 24, 2026, with two monsters and 32 procedurally generated rooms. Then it announced Thveit, a Norse mythology city-builder from developer Winter Cats Studios, on July 22, 2026, the day after its Steam store page went live.
The Crust, from developer VEOM Studio, shows what happens when an early access game gets a finished release. Crytivo put out version 1.0 on September 11, 2026, after two years and two months in early access, adding a Plan Mode for base layout, roads and cargo truck parking, a completed story campaign with multiple endings, new sandbox starting points, meteor strikes, anti-meteor laser cannons, solar flares, and epidemics. Peak concurrent players on Steam went from 405 in August to 4,205 after the full release.
Thveit remains the outlier: it is announced, not released. Winter Cats Studios is a three-person indie team founded by Andreas, and the game is planned for early access on PC via Steam with an estimated 30 hours of content at launch and an early access period expected to last until late 2027. The game's seasonal structure ties priorities to farming, building and sailing, stockpiling, and winter survival, and its central mechanic is coexistence with dragons, trolls, cats, and spirits through habitats, offerings, and a creature compendium.

Crytivo released the early access version of Carnival Hunt on Steam on July 24, 2026. The 5v1 asymmetric survival horror game is set in a mechanical amusement park, where rabbit dolls escape while a Carnival Monster hunts them. Early access includes two monsters and 32 procedurally generated rooms.
Publisher Crytivo and developer Winter Cats Studios have officially announced Thveit, a city-building simulation game set in a Norse mythology-inspired world that resembles a picture book. The game's Steam store page went live on July 21, 2026, and the announcement was made on July 22. Players start with a small group of settlers on an island, clearing land, gathering resources, and constructing houses, farms, and workshops. The game features seasonal changes that affect priorities: spring for farming, summer for building and sailing, autumn for stockpiling, and winter as a trial season where players must prevent starvation. A key mechanic is coexistence with legendary beings such as dragons, trolls, cats, and spirits, each with their own habitats, preferences, and benefits. Players can record discoveries in a creature compendium and gain advantages by offering food or providing suitable dens. As the settlement grows, sailing to procedurally generated islands becomes possible, enabling trade for new settlers, rare goods, and artifacts. The game is planned for early access release on PC via Steam, with an estimated 30 hours of content at launch and an early access period expected to last until late 2027. Winter Cats Studios is a three-person indie team founded by Andreas.
