Among the more interesting entries at the ID@Xbox Showcase is Vapor World: Over The Mind. It’s coming to early access for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 in Q2 2026, but you can expect a brand new demo this June.
Developed by Alive Inc, this one’s a Soulslike 2D action-platformer that takes you to a place that’s decidedly not what sweet dreams are made of. Instead, you play a young boy trapped in a dark and gloomy nightmare, facing off against horrifying creatures with some cool weapons to bludgeon them into oblivion.
Of course, that’s easier said than done, and you’re going to have to adapt on the fly and use every trick in your arsenal to be the last one standing in a world that looks quite gritty. There’s a unique vibe to its art style that reminds us of Bloodborne and Lies of P.
The Early Access version promises 5 hours of gameplay, letting you experience a prologue and the first of three episodes in its entirety, while the second episode’s beginning is also available to you. The third and final episode, along with an epilogue, will be available with the final release, expanding the total playtime to around 12 hours.
The official trailer is showcased below if this one’s caught your eye.
