Feeble Minds, a Swedish studio, has announced its debut IP, Serpent's Gaze. The studio was founded in Gothenburg in 2022 by veterans of Coffee Stain Studios and Paradox.
Feeble Minds is an independent game development studio based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The team includes Coffee Stain Studios co-founders Oscar Jilsén and Mikael Mård, who respectively worked as Game Director and Art Lead on Satisfactory, as well as Satisfactory composer and Insert Coin founder Jannik Reuterberg; former Paradox Product Owner and Programme Manager Johan Gustafsson; and former PocApp Studios Art Director Sofie Irenheim.
Founded in 2022, its team of ten is working on its debut title, Serpent's Gaze. It blends the tactical combat and boss fights of a Souls-like game with the power creeping and build creation of roguelikes. A demo of the game is currently available on Steam.
"We're really excited to officially unveil our studio to the world, give you a first look at our new game, Serpent's Gaze, and let you try it out right away with our demo," said CEO Jannik Reuterberg. "At Feeble Minds, we have a mix of experienced people who worked on some big titles at places like Coffee Stain and Paradox, alongside fresh new talent. In that image, we are working hard to create a rich world that combines the best elements of games we love with new ideas to create something new and amazing. We can’t wait to hear your feedback on the demo and share more as we continue to work on the game!"

Serpent's Gaze features handcrafted levels with no procedural generation. The game is best played in four-player co-op, though it can also be played in single-player mode. Thanks to a "Curse" system that applies stacking difficulty modifiers to each run, no two runs are the same. These modifiers can take the form of invading enemies or minibosses that will hunt players down.
