Fail Fail Succeed Demo – Now Live on Steam

Independent studio The Notlanders is happy to announce the demo is available on Steam for their upcoming puzzle game Fail Fail Succeed.

The Fail Fail Succeed demo offers a focused introduction to the game’s core idea, featuring a selection of early puzzles and a complete set of mechanics.

“The demo is an honest first encounter with the game’s core idea,” says Martin Zetterman, the solo developer of the game. “It contains a little bit of most things the game has to offer, while intentionally introductory, so players can get a taste of what it feels like to fail.”

Inspired by the developer’s personal experiences with mental health struggles, Fail Fail Succeed is a puzzle platformer where failure is the only way forward. Players take control of an anonymous figure trapped in an uneasy, dreamlike world, guided by a dog toward what may be the escape. Progress is blocked by impossible traps, but each failure allows something to be left behind: a tool you can use to get further.

Told without words, the game explores mental health, persistence, and the unconditional bond between human and dog.
