Kakehashi Games released a demo for the dungeon-crawling RPG Algolemeth on PC via Steam on September 10. The indie developer Gangee, also known as Medium-Rare Games, built the game around visual programming: players act as an alchemist, assemble self-propelled golems, and watch them clear dungeons automatically. Raw Fury will handle overseas publishing under the English title Dungeon Automata, and Yuzo Koshiro composed the BGM.
