    Plague, Progress, and Packs — I Am Plague Revealed & Open Playtest Begins!

    You’re not the hero — you’re the swarm. Publisher Digital Vortex (creators of DREADMOOR and Tiny Eden) and developer Greedy Games have officially unveiled I Am Plague, a dark incremental roguelite where you lead a growing mischief of rats up through a sprawling, deadly underground fortress. The open playtest is live right now — running October 5 through 19 — free on Steam.

    Rise as the Rat King

    For centuries, your colony has lived hidden beneath humanity’s grand capital. Now you surge upward — thousands of rats with a single hivemind — fighting through 200+ dungeon floors toward the surface. Soldiers, priests, alchemists, and worse stand in your path. You don’t just survive — you devour.

    Combat unfolds automatically, so every run is defined by your choices:

    • Pick mutations — one from three offered each floor — stacking effects into devastating synergies
    • Harvest flesh and bones from fallen foes to fuel your colony’s permanent growth
    • Equip Visages — enemy skulls that grant distinct classes and radically change your swarm’s playstyle
    • Explore branching paths, shops, and text events across the fortress

    Death Makes You Stronger

    Fall, and you return to the lair — but never empty-handed. Offer what you’ve gathered to the Tree of Flesh and Tree of Bones to boost base stats, unlock rare mutations, and open new possibilities for every run that follows. Progress is forever — the swarm only grows deadlier.

    Play Now — Through October 19

    The open playtest is available free right now on Steam. Dive in, experiment with builds, help shape the game — and show humanity exactly what a plague of rats can become. Full release is planned for 2027.

    Don’t wait too long — the playtest scurries away on October 19.

    Modern Cyberpunk Meets Plant Therapy: Tiny Eden Launches on PC

    If you love cosy simulation games like Stardew Valley or Unpacking, but have always wondered what it would be like to cultivate a lush sanctuary high above a bustling sci-fi metropolis, your next cosy gaming obsession has arrived.

    Tiny Eden, the debut title from Warsaw-based studio Bajka Games and published by Digital Vortex Entertainment, has officially launched on PC via Steam!

    Cultivate a Haven in the Concrete Jungle

    In Tiny Eden, players step into a charming first-person urban farming simulation. Set inside a high-rise apartment complex nestled within a futuristic city, your journey begins modestly: a few potted seeds, a windowsill, and basic equipment.

    However, as your green thumb flourishes, so does your living space. Tiny Eden allows players to expand their indoor sanctuary from a single room to spacious balconies, eventually taking over an expansive rooftop greenhouse.

    Deep Gardening Mechanics Meet Cosy Decorating

    Far from just pressing a button to water your crops, Tiny Eden features surprisingly rich botanical mechanics:

    • Tailored Plant Care: Learn the specific needs of fruits, vegetables, and exotic flora. You’ll manage custom soil mixes (balancing compost, sand, and clay), control heat and light levels, prune weeds, and keep pests at bay.
    • Farm-to-Table Cooking: Don’t just admire your harvest—take it to the kitchen! Prepare delicious salads, baked treats, and complex recipes to sell to the quirky residents of your apartment building.
    • Home Design & Decor: Customise your high-tech apartment with furniture, wall decorations, and plant stands to build a cosy aesthetic uniquely your own.
    • Feline Companionship: No cosy apartment is complete without a furry friend—yes, there is an adorable resident cat to pet while you listen to the soothing ambient sounds of city rain.

    Available Now on Steam

    With an initial launch discount on Steam, Tiny Eden offers the perfect low-stress, highly satisfying escape for gamers looking to unwind after a long day. Whether you want to master nutrient balancing or simply decorate a neon-lit plant paradise, your futuristic greenhouse is ready for planting.

    Tiny Eden is available to purchase and download now on PC via Steam.
