Independent developer Shoei Sio has announced that the horror exploration adventure Cyan Heart will launch on PC via Steam on October 9, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch version also planned.

The story is built around a power called Magenta Heart, which once sustained the world and has since turned into something called Cyan. A free demo is currently available on Steam.
