Something Is Growing Inside: Winnie’s Hole Launches in Steam Early Access on 26 January!

Twice Different invites players inside the body and mind of Winnie in Winnie’s Hole, a genre-bending roguelite where infection is progression.

Launching into Steam Early Access on 26 January 2026, Winnie’s Hole is a viral roguelite in the most literal sense of the word. Explore his cells and influence Winnie’s adventure from the inside out as you use tetromino shapes to spread a virus through his body.

It’s an accessible union where you strategically place shapes into the brain of Winnie to trigger actions that play out automatically for fast-paced gameplay with the adaptability of a turn-based game. An infectiously interesting new format!

About the game

Join Winnie on a new adventure, from within!

Play as a virus in his body and mind. Capture cells to mutate, explore randomised cellular worlds, and build a deck of actions to unleash in combo-driven combat. Another genre-blending roguelite from the creators of Ring of Pain, with a dark yet charming story.

Embrace discomfort – Sometimes we can’t help being seen as a monster…
