People of Note, created by Iridium Studios, will only be available digitally in 2026 for PC through the Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox (X|S, Windows). Watch the trailer HERE

In order to fulfill his destiny, Demi sets out on a treacherous adventure across many countries with the help of the acolyte Mergo and a mysterious voice. Demi pays homage to vintage action-adventure games with an emphasis on platforming, environmental puzzles, and retro hack-and-slash combat, all encased in an engrossing story. Demi and the Fractured Dream, created by Yarn Owl, will be made available for PC in 2026 through the Steam and Epic Games Store, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox (X|S, Windows).
