Box Knight Launches After Six Years — On Sale Until 8 September

Box Knight (AppID 1678650) is live on Steam as of 25 August 2026, closing out a six-year development by We Made A Thing Studios — a three-person team based in Adelaide, South Australia. The studio began with a prototype grant in 2020 and, after appearances at Gamescom, PAX, and SAGE (where it took a Best in Exhibition award), opted to self-publish rather than continue pursuing a publisher deal.

What's in the game

• A roguelite campaign with weapons, elemental specialisations, and build options that, per the announcement, go "properly unhinged by floor four"
• Local co-op for two players
• Boss fights framed as monstrous takes on workplace archetypes
• Costumes, secrets, and a death-triggered progression mechanic tied to a in-game cubicle

Launch sale

The game is 15% off until Monday 8 September 2026, after which it returns to full price. The discount is the only pricing detail the studio provided.

The team has flagged that updates, quality-of-life fixes, and new content are planned, and is directing bug reports to its Steam Discussions page and Discord. Reviews, they note, are the primary visibility lever for a small release — a candid reminder of how the platform's discovery mechanics weigh on indie launches.

For players interested in couch co-op roguelites with an absurdist office premise, the window to buy at a discount closes in under two weeks.
