Smilegate announced that it will be exhibiting two highly anticipated indie games published by the company at the global experiential event ‘Steam Next Fest 2025’, which will be held from Tuesday the 10th to Tuesday the 17th.
The dating simulation game ‘Saniyang Lab’ and the rhythm game ‘Six Stargate: Stargazer (hereinafter referred to as Stargazer)’ are scheduled to participate in this event.
‘Steam Next Fest’ is a large-scale online experience event held three times a year on Steam, the world’s largest PC game platform. It is a place of communication where demo versions of new games in development are introduced to users around the world and direct feedback is received. At this event, hundreds of new demos will be released over the course of a week, and live broadcasts and community communication will also be held.
Smilegate will be releasing demos of ‘Saniyang Lab’ and ‘Stargazer’ to global users through this event. The two titles have garnered great anticipation from the domestic and international communities, and anyone can enjoy the trial versions for free through Steam.
‘Saniyang Lab’ is a dating simulation game where the protagonist, who wakes up in an unidentified lab, digs into secrets while forming relationships with various characters in an unknown world where people live. A total of 21 characters, including the three main heroines, appear, and you can enjoy rich content such as multiple endings that change depending on your choices, a full-voice route, high-quality visuals, and an immersive OST. In this demo, you can play up to the beginning of Act 2, where you can experience the core functions of the student lab system and the first meeting with the main heroines.
‘Stargazer’ is a spin-off title of the popular rhythm game ‘SixStargator: Starrail’, and is a rhythm game where you can enjoy original songs centered on band arrangements with an intuitive 4-lane system. With a new storyline and a control method that lowers the barrier to entry, it provides a wide range of fun for both existing fans and new users. In the demo version, you can preview the core content that will be included in the main game along with various original tracks.
Smilegate plans to once again prove its indie publishing capabilities through this participation and expand its contact points with users around the world. Detailed information on each title can be found on the game store page (Saniyang Lab / Stargazer) on Steam and on the Smilegate Steam page.
