Dungeon Gals Launch

Dungeon Gals went live on April 22, ending its demo run with a full PC release on Steam and itch.io from solo developer DoricDream. (store.steampowered.com) The Steam page lists DoricDream as both developer and publisher and describes the game as a single-player action-adventure built around exploration, puzzle-solving and character-specific abilities. (store.steampowered.com) Those character hooks are central to the pitch: players swap among three mercenaries — Wendy, Izzy and Rosa — to clear traps, fight monsters and open paths through areas including the Sky Monastery, the Great Library and the Shrine of Souls. (store.steampowered.com) The launch closes a public rollout that had been visible for months through demos and festival builds. Steam Community posts show the game in Steam Next Fest in October 2025, and DoricDream posted a final pre-release update on April 14, 2026, a week before launch. (steamcommunity.com) (doricdream.itch.io) That matters for players because Dungeon Gals arrived with a clearer identity than many small releases: a slow-paced 2D platform adventure with puzzle rooms, three distinct move sets and a relationship-driven story. DoricDream wrote in an earlier devlog that the game was designed to reward “navigation and thorough exploration” rather than speed. (store.steampowered.com) (doricdream.itch.io) Community reaction before release pointed in the same direction. In Steam demo feedback from October 2025, players praised the art, writing and the way each character’s abilities created different puzzle options, while other posts flagged performance hitches and readability issues in the font. (steamcommunity.com 1) (steamcommunity.com 2) (steamcommunity.com 3) DoricDream paired the release with an official launch trailer and a launch-week discount on itch.io. The itch.io sale lists the game at $13.49, or 10% off, through April 29. (youtube.com) (itch.io) As of the Steam listing captured around launch, the game had no user review summary yet, which is typical for a small game in its first day on sale. The immediate test now is whether wishlist interest, streamer attention and early player impressions turn into a visible review base over the next several days. (store.steampowered.com)
