Zagreb, Croatia – January 13, 2024. Developer Today’s Games invites players to explore the haunting, post-human world of ReSetna ahead of its January 31 release with the launch of an updated demo and a new gameplay trailer.
Now available on Steam, the updated demo introduces new gameplay zone Acidia, one of the game‘s seven intricately designed zones. Players will navigate the toxic wastelands of Acidia, meet ReSetna’s loyal drone companion IXA, experiment with the game’s unique Tetris-inspired chip upgrade system, and face off Cerpiant S/N 1894, a corrupted AI and one of the game’s early bosses.
For players, Cerpiant offers a thrilling and strategic boss fight with its unpredictable attacks and relentless pursuit. It uses the liquid as both a shield and a weapon, lurking in hidden areas and luring prey into its lair, giving them a false sense of safety before striking.
New official gameplay trailer showcases ReSetna’s action-packed gameplay, cryptic storytelling, and haunting soundtrack that blends synthetic and organic elements and immerses players in the eerie atmosphere of the game’s decaying, post-organic world.
ReSetna will launch on January 31, 2025, for Steam and Nintendo Switch, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S releases slated for Q1 2025.

ReSetna story
ReSetna is set in a world where all organic life is extinct, and the last remnants of civilization belong to self-aware machines. Not immune to the passage of time, the robots have become self-aware. They are experiencing psychological turmoil, existential crises and the emotions that once belonged to their makers - creating a universe where even the machines question their purpose and existence.
Now, a mysterious digital entity, known as the Signal, threatens the balances of this fragile robotic society, driving machines to madness. As chaos reigns, a robot warrior ReSetna is awakened by the all-knowing, dimension-spawning AI called APEX, tasked with locating and eliminating the source of the Signal.
Together with her loyal companion drone, ReSetna journeys through a crumbling, dystopian world, uncovering the truth behind the failed Project Ascendance and her own role in it. As the Signal spreads, your choices will determine the fate of synthetic life. But even APEX is hiding secrets, including a forgotten protocol that could change everything…
