Prison Of Husks Lands On PC And PS5 On January 27, 2027
The game's path from a solo itch.io prototype to a WINGS-funded full project shows how an indie Soulslike can secure backing and a firm console release date without a publisher announcement attached.

Glass Head Dolls will release the Soulslike action RPG Prison of Husks for PC (Steam) and PS5 on January 27, 2027, with an updated demo now on Steam. The studio is led by British-Indonesian developer Tammy Morley, who built the initial prototype alone before funding from WINGS. The full version is planned to support 13 languages, including Japanese. Price is undecided.
The updated demo on Steam covers the first level and boss battle from the full version. Glass Head Dolls lists improvements across combat, visuals, items, enemy behavior, and tutorials compared with the previous demo.
The game sets players as a doll in a painting-like afterlife, searching for a lost loved one in a world that crumbles beneath them. Combat lets players ignite an inner flame to raise adrenaline and attack power, with precise parries opening counterattacks. Pistols, magic, rings, and brooches can be combined freely, and the compact maps hide layered shortcuts and secrets recorded in a sketchbook.
