  • Bytes, Bands, and Bad Guys — Escape from 8-Bit High Blasts onto Steam and GOG!

    Bytes, Bands, and Bad Guys — Escape from 8-Bit High Blasts onto Steam and GOG!

    Class is in session — but so is chaos. Publisher Dionous Games and developer Duck Made Of Wood are thrilled to announce that Escape from 8-Bit High, the tongue-in-cheek retro point-and-click adventure, is out right now on Steam and GOG for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Grab your guitar — it’s time to save the school, and maybe the world.

    Meet Blueberry Finn — Your Heroes in Faded Denim

    Something has gone deeply, digitally wrong at Cloudydale High. A mysterious cursed cassette has awakened the Evil Pomodore 64 — a sentient, power-hungry AI with a serious grudge — and it’s unleashed an army of 8-bit villains: aliens, mole people, dinosaurs, and zombies. Standing in its way? Blueberry Finn, a scrappy alt-rock trio made up of Hank, Duck, and Alex. Three friends, three wildly different paths, one epic story.

    Three Adventures, One Big Story

    Play the three bandmates in any order and switch between them freely as their journeys converge:

    • Hank — uncovers Cloudydale High’s darkest secrets while battling zombies, ghosts, and vampires
    • Duck — blasts into the cosmos to fight the menacing Kelad Empire and stop an interstellar pandemic
    • Alex — digs deep toward the Earth’s core, encountering mutants, Amazons, and the lost city of Atlantis

    Rock the System — Music Battle Combat

    Puzzles meet performance in the game’s signature Music Battle System, an arcade-style rhythm mechanic that turns every showdown into a concert. And don’t sweat the beat — an easy rhythm mode means everyone can rock out, regardless of reflexes. Your choices also shape the story — alternate paths, different outcomes, and a finale that depends on everything you’ve done.

    Launch Deal — 15% Off Through October 13

    The full game offers 8–10 hours of retro charm, puzzles, and rock-and-roll heart. Dive in risk-free:

    • Free demo available right now on Steam
    • 15% launch discount live on both Steam and GOG through October 13, 2026
    • Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux

    The bell has rung — detention is over, and the adventure begins. Will you ace the test, or will the Pomodore 64 rewrite history?

  • Theropods Drops August 20th!

    Theropods Drops August 20th!

    Get ready to step into a world of prehistoric chaos and sci-fi mystery—without reading a single word! Developer Lost Token and publisher Dionous Games have officially announced that Theropods, the hand-drawn, wordless point-and-click adventure, is launching on August 20th.

    The game will be available across PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. To celebrate the news, a brand-new release date trailer has just dropped, offering a fresh glimpse at its unique gameplay and stunning pixel-art style.

    What is Theropods?

    Theropods isn’t your average point-and-click adventure. Forget heavy dialogue trees, endless subtitles, or walls of text—this game relies entirely on visual logic, body language, and audio cues to tell its story.

    You control a young hunter living in a dangerous prehistoric world. When a glowing stone crashes from the sky, a bloodthirsty tribe attacks her village and enslaves her people. Escaping into the wild, she discovers the truth behind the mysterious stone: it belongs to a stranded spaceman whose damaged escape pod needs it to get home.

    Forming an unlikely alliance, the hunter and the alien must navigate dense jungles, steep canyons, and dangerous dinosaur territories to free her tribe and help him return to the stars.

    Brains Over Brawn

    In Theropods, the world itself is one big puzzle. You won’t be fighting off ferocious predators with brute force; instead, you’ll need to outsmart them. Whether it’s tricking a sleeping T-Rex, sneaking past hostile barbarians, or interacting with curious local wildlife, every scenario requires creative problem-solving and keen observation.

    Ten Years in the Making

    Originating from a game jam project back in 2015 and boosted by a successful Kickstarter campaign, Theropods has been a labour of love for Lost Token co-founders Kostas Skiftas and Sarah Duffield-Harding. The ten-year journey has resulted in a meticulously crafted adventure boasting fluid hand-drawn animation translated into vibrant pixel art, paired with an immersive soundtrack blending tribal drums with atmospheric sci-fi synths.

    Mark Your Calendars!

    If you’re a fan of retro adventure games, classic animation, or visual storytelling, Theropods is definitely one to watch.

    Wishlist Theropods on Steam, GOG, or the Epic Games Store today to get notified the second it drops on August 20th!
