Singaporean indie publisher Soft Source is making its way to Cologne, Germany this August, bringing a distinctive slate of games to showcase at Gamescom 2025. Known for curating creative and unconventional titles from across Asia and beyond, the publisher invites visitors to discover its latest offerings—including the highly anticipated DreadOut 3, alongside Bloodbreaker: Labyrinth of the Witch, As I Began to Dream, Grim Trials, and more.

Attendees can experience hands-on demos of these titles by booking a media slot in advance or visiting Soft Source at Hall 10-2, Stand F004g during the show. The team promises a relaxed and welcoming environment where players can immerse themselves in these unique worlds at their own pace.

One of the highlights of Soft Source’s lineup is DreadOut 3, the next chapter in the acclaimed Indonesian horror series that began in 2014. Making its first-ever public appearance at Gamescom, the game invites players to step once again into a chilling realm where the veil between the living and the dead is thin. With just your IrisPhone to detect the spirits and demons that hide in plain sight, you’ll uncover the secrets lurking in the shadows.

For players drawn to dark fantasy action, Bloodbreaker: Labyrinth of the Witch continues to channel the spirit of classic Metroidvania adventures. In this updated demo, you’ll delve deeper into the labyrinth than ever before, exploring new areas and mastering new mechanics in your quest to rescue your brother from its twisting depths.

Soft Source’s more contemplative side is represented by As I Began to Dream, a hand-drawn puzzle platformer inspired by the aesthetics of children’s storybooks. Through the eyes of Lily, players navigate a dreamlike world shaped by grief and memory, uncovering the story of her loss and the fragments of her past.

Meanwhile, Grim Trials brings a burst of energy to the show floor with its heavy metal-infused action roguelike. Players take on the role of Avelin, a soul desperate to reunite with a loved one, fighting through hex-grid arenas and crafting powerful equipment to earn her place as a reaper in the afterlife.

The booth will also feature several other titles from Soft Source’s growing portfolio, offering a diverse range of genres and styles to explore. Whether you’re a fan of atmospheric horror, retro-inspired action, heartfelt storytelling, or inventive roguelike mechanics, Soft Source’s presence at Gamescom 2025 promises something worth discovering.
