Absym lists wishlist on Steam

Infinity Experience has put Absym’s Steam page in front of players with a wishlist push tied to the game’s upcoming launch window. The store listing shows Absym as an unreleased action RPG with a planned Q4 2026 release and a live option for users to add it to their Steam wishlist. Steam also shows a separate playtest request button on the page, indicating the developer is still gathering players ahead of release. The move gives the project a clearer storefront destination after earlier demo and update posts on Steam and itch.io. ### What does the Steam page actually say about Absym? Steam describes Absym as “a unique souls-like” set between two dimensions called Nihilor and Absymalith. The store page says players will fight, explore and use a mechanic called “Rift Dancing” to shift between worlds in real time. It lists Infinity Experience as both developer and publisher. The Steam listing also places the game in several recognizable categories. (store.steampowered.com) User-defined tags on the page include Souls-like, Dark Fantasy, Action RPG, Story Rich and 2.5D, alongside tags such as Lovecraftian, Exploration and Pixel Graphics. Steam says the game is not yet available. ### Which details on the page matter most for players deciding whether to follow it? (store.steampowered.com) Steam assigns Absym app ID 2863300, which is the identifier attached to the game’s store, community and update pages. The listing tells users they can wishlist the game to receive notice when it becomes available, and it separately offers access requests for the playtest. Steam does not publicly display wishlist totals on store pages. (store.steampowered.com) The store page also includes basic technical requirements. Steam lists minimum support for Windows 10 or macOS 10.14.6 or later, 8 GB of RAM, a DirectX 11-compatible graphics card and 5 GB of storage. Recommended requirements shown on the page match those baseline figures. ### How is Absym being described outside Steam? Infinity Experience’s itch.io page uses slightly different language for the project. (store.steampowered.com) That page calls Absym “a dark rogue-souls-like” and says it blends rogue-like combat with souls-like exploration. It also describes the visual style as HD2D, with 3D environments and pixel-art characters. The itch.io page is also where the developer framed some of the game’s influences more directly. (store.steampowered.com) In the page summary, Infinity Experience said the project combines “the fast-paced gameplay of Hades” with “a Bloodborne world” and an HD2D visual style. That wording does not appear in the Steam description surfaced in search results, which instead focuses on the game’s own setting and mechanics. (infinity-experience.itch.io) ### Has the developer been updating the game publicly? Steam’s news hub for Absym shows multiple developer updates tied to the app page over recent months. Posts highlighted in search results include updates on onboarding and tutorials, inventory and quality-of-life changes, world and combat revisions, and a demo release announcement. The Steam community page also exists under the same app ID, and search snippets show player discussion activity around the demo in 2025. (infinity-experience.itch.io) SteamDB records the title under Infinity Experience with a Q4 2026 release window and recent backend changes logged in May 2026. ### What comes next on the Steam page? Steam says Absym’s planned release date is Q4 2026, not a specific day. (store.steampowered.com) Until then, the next visible milestones on the page are wishlist adds, playtest access requests and any new developer posts published through the Steam news hub. Infinity Experience already has a demo and development log on itch.io, where posts dated April 30, May 1 and May 5, 2025 track earlier public builds. (steamcommunity.com) On Steam, the store page remains the main place for release timing, playtest access and future update notices as the Q4 2026 window approaches.
