Some of the most aesthetic and interesting spaces created in BOXROOM so far. Play the demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4335460/BOXROOM/

BOXROOM on Steam

BOXROOM allows you to design, define and decorate a room - a sanctuary - for your Steam library, and then revel in the organisation of your

This is BOXROOM; a home for (and love letter to) your game collection. The big hook here is that it boots your actual Steam library into a room for you to then curate, arrange and display in whatever way you see fit. It's a room-designer and way to physicalise your abstract Steam library all rolled into one. 

If you long for the days of physical games and instruction manuals and burying your nose in a freshly popped box for a hit of plasticky goodness then BOXROOM has you covered.

Oh and we've made a Demo available right off the bat. No messing about. Go start work on a room of your own.

FIVE BOLD & BIZARRE GAMES FOR FEBRUARY 2026

2026 is off to a raging start for us weird game aficionados. Even since last month's Bulletin there have been a slew of bizarre games launching, all vying for attention as the indie-spotlight is pointed in a certain direction (🐱).

This has made it both very easy (no shortage of banging games) and very difficult (choosing just five is tough) to assemble this month's newsletter for you. But - rejoice! - I've done it! I've trawled the pages of Steam and Itch for hours on end, bringing together the five games I think you, my friend, will appreciate the most.

A strategy game for clowns and criminals.

If cerebral, sharp-tongued genre-bendy strategy/narrative games are your thing, then the new game from AP Thomson and Fellow Traveller is very much going to be your cup of tea. As part of a little friendship with Fellow Traveller, we have exclusive access to some Demo keys. The game isn't currently available anywhere publicly, but we can hook you up.

While keys remain, new subscribers will get a key upon sign up. How very splendid! www.pantaloon.io

It's FOUR DAYS until the release of It Takes a War - the new game from Thomas Mackinnon, the developer of THE CORRIDOR. Thanks to trillionaire Twitch streamer Angry Shark for checking out the game - ignore that bit at the end there, not sure what that was. This is a game about ACTION and GUNS and ELITE TACTICAL PLAY. There is nothing lurking under the surface of this.

Announcement! We're working with Thomas Mackinnon; the creative force behind THE CORRIDOR, as we chart very different genre waters with his new game, It Takes a War. For anybody well-versed in the early noughties era of tactical shooters - or the online culture surrounding them - this game will likely resonate. ITAW is a tactical team shooter with three unique classes, stunning photoreal graphics, innovative “voice chat” functionality, and nothing whatsoever lurking under that surface of VISCERAL TACTICAL ACTION. Steam page etc live now - please wishlist/share/get the logo tattooed across your chest: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3919530/It_Takes_a_War/

HARK! Pantaloon here. Our first post on Tumblr. HELLO! We're a game label and home for misfits - we also partner with developers of bold and bizarre games, giving those games to our audience of hungry weird-game aficionados. This month's Pantaloon Partner is a wild one (well more wild than usual, they're all wild aren't they tbh) - FUTURE RACER 2000, from the vivid mind of Timothy Oxton; a first-person horror game about a video game, an apartment, and the encroaching tide. Sign up to our unreasonably delightful newsletter to gear up (lol) for one of 2000 Steam keys, which we'll be dropping into inboxes on September 25th.
