LandShark Games Announces Grifford Academy Early Access with New Demo at Indie3 Showcase

LandShark Games, an independent game studio based in Singapore, has announced that its coming-of-age RPG, Grifford Academy, will launch into Early Access on PC/Steam on July 8th, 2025. The game is a "lite academia" RPG that features a streamlined combat system, weaving together turn-based strategy, isekai storytelling, and rich character growth. Players will join Erika, Viva, and Cap as teenage turmoil clashes with ancient magic and sinister forces in the mystical book realm of Caldria.

As part of the announcement, LandShark Games has released a new demo for Grifford Academy, which is currently available as part of the Indie3 showcase. The demo focuses on the opening hours of the game and features a brand new introduction, showcasing previously unseen cinematics and backstory. The full game will launch into Early Access on July 8th, 2025.

LandShark Games is an independent studio focused on creating approachable, atmospheric games for players who love storytelling, exploration, and deep but accessible systems. The studio is currently working on Grifford Academy, with other entries in a connected universe due for the future.

Pantaloon, a home for misfits and a game label for bold and bizarre indie games, is helping LandShark Games bring Grifford Academy to market whilst remaining fully independent. Pantaloon offers resources and services for indie game studios looking to self-publish and is a nexus for developers to showcase their games.
