Austin, Texas – February 9, 2026 | From the developer behind the cult-favorite Rising Star series comes a louder, faster, and more chaotic take on band management. Shady O'Grady's™ Overnight Sensation is a roguelike deckbuilder that puts players on the road with a startup rock band, chasing fame one gig at a time.
Alongside the announcement, the developer has released a brand-new demo, a fresh gameplay trailer, and confirmed participation in Steam Next Fest, running February 23rd to March 2nd.
ROCK ’N’ ROLL, NO FILLER
Designed for players who want their rock fix without committing to a multi-hundred-hour career, Overnight Sensation distills the band sim fantasy into punchy, replayable runs.
Players tour across the U.S., playing gigs, building decks, and facing off against rival bands in high-stakes Battle of the Bands encounters. Victory means bigger venues and louder crowds. Defeat? Just another night on the road.
Each run is fully randomized, encouraging experimentation, fast progression, and just one more gig.
KEY FEATURES
- Roguelike deckbuilding gameplay centered around live gigs
- Multiple card types, collectibles, and consumables to manipulate performances on the fly
- Venue bosses to defeat in order to reach larger stages and audiences
- Procedurally generated runs for high replayability
- A massive soundtrack spanning 18 sub-genres of rock and metal
- More attitude than a wild rock band on tour
A NEW TAKE ON A BELOVED SERIES
Shady O'Grady's™ Overnight Sensation is a spinoff of the established Rising Star franchise. While Rising Star 2 is widely regarded as one of the most in-depth and realistic band simulators available, Overnight Sensation takes a different direction, favoring quick progression, condensed tours, and tactical decision-making over long-term career simulation.
