Polden Publishing is an active PC game publisher with several announced and recently released titles, including horror, co-op, and simulation games, all for Steam.
Polden Publishing has been steadily releasing and announcing games on Steam throughout August 2026. The publisher's catalog spans horror, cooperative, and simulation genres, often with a low-poly or physics-based visual style. Recent releases include the horror party game Twisted Party and the psychological horror Static Dread: The Submarine, both of which launched on Steam in August 2026.
The publisher has also announced several upcoming PC titles in the same month. SHEEPSTERS, developed by Team Sheepsters, is a cooperative adventure about herding uncooperative sheep. SnowJob, developed by Muted Games, is a first-person co-op horror set in a frozen Anomaly Zone. 'Put Your Toys Away Together!', developed by Toxic Studio, is a co-op tidying simulation. These announced titles all target PC via Steam, and several support online co-op.
Polden's recent output shows a pattern of publishing smaller, genre-blending games with quirky or unsettling premises. The company often pairs established studios with unexpected concepts, as with Toxic Studio, known for military RTS and management sims, working on a gentle toy-tidying game. The publisher also uses launch discounts and low price points to lower the barrier for players to try its titles.

Polden Publishing released Twisted Party, a horror party game developed by Vampire Squid, on Steam for PC on August 26, 2026. The game supports 2 to 8 players and includes both open servers that anyone can join and private lobbies for friends only. Players enter an extreme death game where limbs fly and blood sprays, with each round introducing a new grotesque mini-game. The goal is to avoid traps, sometimes betray friends, and survive until only one player remains. The visuals use a low-polygon style reminiscent of the original PlayStation era, but the depiction of flying limbs and gushing blood is merciless. Progressing through the game unlocks a variety of insane skins. The price is 655 yen including tax, and a launch sale offering 10 percent off for 14 days from release is being held. The title contains explicit violence, bloodshed, and dismemberment. The game also supports Japanese language.

Polden Publishing announced on August 3, 2026, that it will publish SHEEPSTERS, a cooperative adventure game developed by Team Sheepsters. The game supports solo play and online co-op for up to four players on PC via Steam. Players take on the role of rural shepherds tasked with guiding escaped flocks of sheep back home across hills and forests. The sheep are intentionally uncooperative: they can be directed by shouting into a megaphone, but they do not always move as intended. Players can also grab and throw sheep, launch them with trampolines, or place them on mechanisms that operate with the sheep's weight. The journey is complicated by hazards such as tornadoes that create 'sheepnadoes,' minefields, collapsing bridges, and aliens that attempt to steal the sheep. Sheep come in different coat colors, including white, black, and brown, and some have horns, earrings, or hairstyles. The announcement trailer was released alongside the news, and the game is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam.
