Indie developer Kniv Studios has announced that a playable demo of their turn-based SRPG Stardust: The Witch, featuring cinematic pixel art direction and strategic combat, will be released on Steam on January 20, 2026.
This demo offers approximately 1 to 1.5 hours of playtime and features turn-based combat with card-based counters and combo systems, story-driven cutscenes, and a hands-on experience of the game’s overall atmosphere.
“Stardust: Star and the Witch” combines the traditional combat structure of classic SRPGs with a modern combat system and visual presentation. The demo introduces the game’s early story and the main characters’ fighting styles, and even allows players to witness the ultimate skill cutscene in 2D animation.
The demo for ‘Stardust: The Witch’, developed by Korean indie game studio Kniv Studio, will be available for free on Steam and Stove Indie on January 20th, with no separate embargo for streaming or reviews.
