The Out of Bounds 2026 Showcase presented 16 indie games across multiple genres, with reveals, demos, and trailers.

BINGONE made its debut as a bingo-inspired roguelike focused on building sticker combinations and triggering combo chains. Infamous Keepers launched its first demo as a tower defense and tactical roguelite set in the Legend of Keepers universe, where players take the role of a dungeon keeper. Blade and Madness showed off new gameplay footage for its roguelite deckbuilder with simultaneous turn-based combat.

Other featured titles include Draftula, a roguelike spin on block-dropping puzzlers where room placement determines your ascent; Void Reaver, a sci-fi bullet heaven using backpack-based weaponry against alien hordes; Fear Tall Grass, which opened its playtest phase; Fugue Shot, a minigame roguelike combining 10 arcade games with persistent upgrades; and Stickerino, a roguelite deckbuilder built around sticker placement and score multipliers.

The showcase also featured reveals and demos for Precious Nightmare (a narrative-driven walking simulator), Sombras: Negative Frames (a psychological horror adventure), and Midgardr (a board game-style strategy city builder). Winter Whiskers, a cleaning simulation game, received an updated demo launch, while PECADO showed new survival horror gameplay footage. Haunted Cleaner, Oniria, and Wundertrench rounded out the 16 games with previously revealed trailers.
