## AI overview

Evil Trout founder Robin Ward describes investing in Doseo's puzzle game DEG after playing its demo during Steam Next Fest. The funding will support the game's improvement and marketing; a full release is planned for later in 2026.

## Source excerpt

During the last Steam Next Fest, I played a demo of a puzzle game called DEG that was getting a lot of buzz. The game is made for people who like grid puzzles like Sudoku, or Nurikabe, with many additional unique concepts and puzzle ideas that are tutorialized silently to the player. Needless to say, I was hooked. I reached out to Doseo, its creator, and inquired about investing in the game. We discussed how he would use additional money to improve and market the game, and a deal was struck.
