The bullet heaven-style action roguelike, Sweet Slaughter, from small indie developer LeaveLess, storms Steam Next Fest with a thrilling demo from June 9-16, 2025. Blending adorable visuals with frenetic survival gameplay, this debut title promises a bloody good time.
Chaotic Gameplay and Strategic Depth
Dive into Sweet Slaughter and face waves of cuddly yet deadly monsters on a handcrafted map, where collecting flowers grants permanent stat boosts for strategic depth. Choose from two heroes, each with unique abilities, and navigate dynamic shrines that offer buffs or risky trade-offs, like multiplying stats at a hidden cost.

With achievements and meta-progression, the demo unlocks new content for endless replayability. Drawing from Vampire Survivors and the gory-cute vibes of Happy Tree Friends and Superjail, Sweet Slaughter delivers a polished, addictive experience for roguelike fans and newcomers alike.
