Annihilated is out now on Steam: price, launch discount, the four partner routes and what carries over from the demo of this dark roguelite RPG

Annihilated, a story-driven roguelite RPG about carrying one broken hero out of a cursed dungeon, is now available on PC through Steam. Developer Death Kumiai and publisher Flashlight Games released it on November 10, 2026, at around 12:00 a.m. PST, which is 9:00 a.m. in Paris. The full game costs $16.99 in the US and €17.25 on the French Steam store, with 10% off for the first 14 days. If you played the free demo and saved after beating it, you can carry that progress over. One limit for some players: the game is available in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese only, with no French, German or Spanish text.

You play the last survivor of a rescue party sent after a hero’s party that vanished deep in a cursed dungeon. When you find them, the Hero has lost the ability to speak, the Mage has lost her magic, the Warrior has lost his body and the Priest has lost something the store page keeps hidden. You can carry only one of them out, and that choice sets your route.

Turn-based card battles: every item you carry becomes a card with a limited number of uses, and enemies show their next move before they act.

Weapons hit hardest on their last use. Staggering an enemy and landing a weapon’s final use triggers a Fatal Strike, which kills it instantly and steals its equipment.

Every broken item leaves a Curse. Spending a Curse lets you cancel a bad roll; stored Curses can be forged into items, and the rest becomes experience. If you die, you retry from the floor where you fell.

Two battle styles, one based on timing and one based on probability; the developers say either one gets you to the end.

According to the publisher, the game has more than 200,000 words of branching story across four routes with multiple endings, each route about six hours long, over 100 weapons and items and more than 400 hand-drawn illustrations. The Steam page warns that it contains bloodshed, death and some horror and psychological horror elements.

Base price: $16.99 in the US, €17.25 on Steam France, £15.25 in the UK (Steam prices checked on November 10, 2026 at 9:23 a.m. Paris time).

Launch sale: 10% off for the first 14 days after release, so $15.29, €15.52 or £13.72 at the time of checking. Flashlight Games has not published an exact end time.

The Annihilated Original Soundtrack (27 tracks by composer NINOMIYA Yuji) is out on Steam too, at $11.99 with the same launch discount, and a bundle of the game and soundtrack takes an extra 10% off. A physical CD edition (¥2,750) is sold on the composer’s official shop.

Platform: Windows PC on Steam only. No console, Mac or Linux version has been announced.

Languages: interface and subtitles in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. There is no voice acting listed and no French translation.

Minimum requirements on the Steam page: Windows 10 or 11 and 1 GB of storage. No processor, memory or graphics card is listed.

Steam features: single-player, Steam Achievements (14), Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, keyboard-only, mouse-only and touch-only control options, and “playable without timed input”.

The free Annihilated Demo on Steam lets you play all four partners up to and including the first boss, The Outcast. Flashlight Games says that if you save after clearing the demo, you can carry your progress over to the full game. The demo returned on October 23, 2026, with balance, UI and music changes since Steam Next Fest in February 2026, and was patched on October 25 and 29 (performance, ultrawide display and Mage animations). With the launch, the team has also put the in-game tutorial videos on YouTube, covering the two combat modes, Weapon Break and Fatal Blow. Demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4099940/

Death Kumiai is a three-person Japanese circle: Sabotenshi (illustration and scenario), Suzuromono (programming and scenario) and Chuchuyama (backgrounds and UI design). Joined by composer NINOMIYA Yuji, they spent nearly four years on Annihilated, their first game. It was first due on July 22, 2026; on July 10 Flashlight Games delayed it to the fourth quarter to refine the game feel and battle balance, then confirmed November 10 on October 7. The game passed 200,000 Steam wishlists the day before launch. It had no user reviews on Steam when we checked, so we cannot yet tell you how the full release is being received.
