TGA Students win at the Swedish Game Awards 2026

TGA STUDENTS IN ASHLEEP STUDIOS RECEIVE THE OUTSIDE THE BOX AWARD

Article | Published 15th of September 2026

Milk of Tomorrow, created by The Game Assembly students in Ashleep Studios, won the Outside the Box award at Swedish Game Awards: New Talent 2026 on 11 September. The winners were announced at a ceremony at Bio Skandia in Stockholm.

Buying milk sounds simple. In Milk of Tomorrow, it becomes the start of a deadly time loop. Guided by a sarcastic narrator whose commentary changes with every death, players explore a city inspired by 1980s Stockholm. Each attempt reveals new clues and brings them closer to solving the mystery.

The game combines handcrafted pixel-art textures with 3D environments. It was also nominated for Best Technology, making the Outside the Box win an exciting end to the team’s Swedish Game Awards journey.

Five games created by TGA students were nominated for this year’s awards. We’re proud of every team and of the creativity and hard work they put into their games.

Huge congratulations to Ashleep Studios on the win!

Milk of Tomorrow is a mystery adventure built around a deadly time loop and a narrator whose commentary changes with every attempt.
