We Made A Thing Studios
Box Knight releases 25 August 2026 on Steam.
You just saw it at the Convergence Showcase: after six years of development, the cardboard hero finally clocks on. Mark your calendars - better yet, wishlist below and Steam will mark it for you.
MEETING REQUEST — ALL STAFF
Subject: Defeat the CEO Date: Tuesday, 25 August 2026 Location: The Tower (all floors) Duration: However many runs it takes Attendance: Mandatory Notes: Friday beers to be reinstated upon completion. BYO sword.
What is Box Knight?
A funny, silly, irreverent action roguelite. A dark power has taken over a once-happy small business, a corporate takeover so evil they banned Friday beers. As the Box Knight, you'll battle monstrous abstractions of every toxic co-worker you've ever known and quest up the tower to defeat the CEO. Die trying? Level up in your cubicle and try again next week.
- Fast, chunky brawler roguelite combat - build-crafting across weapons, upgrades and elemental specialisations
- Local co-op - drag a colleague into the incident report
- Boss fights based on co-workers you have definitely worked with
From us at Wemat Studios...
We're WeMaT, a three-person studio in Adelaide, South Australia. We started Box Knight in 2020 during Covid, took it to Gamescom and PAX, won Best in Exhibition at the 2024 SAGE Awards, chipping away at the game between our film projects. Six years later, here's the date. Thank you to everyone who's wishlisted, played the demo, and yelled at us at shows. See you on the 25th of August.
Wishlist now so the launch-day email finds you. It's the single biggest thing you can do to help a small studio and it makes the number go up, which keeps management happy.
