  • HYPNOS! Step into the Nameless City

    HYPNOS! Step into the Nameless City

    Redlock Studio has just unveiled their latest project: HYPNOS, a first-person adventure that feels like a walking fever dream. Set in the same “Maze Chronicles” universe as Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King, this game is a haunting, Lovecraftian exploration of the edge of dreams.

    What to expect in the Dreamlands:

    • The Nameless City: Explore a massive, surreal megastructure where the laws of reality are… flexible.
    • Deep Mystery: You play as Choron, a wanderer searching for the faceless boy who haunts his subconscious.
    • Your Choices Matter: Engage with strange monarchs and inhabitants through branching dialogues that shape their fates and your ending.
    • Ethereal Atmosphere: Featuring an original soundtrack by ALT236, blending ambient and dreamlike electronic vibes.

    If you’re a fan of atmospheric horror, surreal architecture, or deep world-building, you’ll want to keep this on your radar.

    Release: Coming to PC and consoles in 2026!

    Wishlist now on Steam to support the devs!

  • ASTROBOTANICA science is your best survival tool!

    ASTROBOTANICA science is your best survival tool!

    Tired of survival games that are all about combat? Meet ASTROBOTANICA, the upcoming “relaxed survival” adventure from the veterans behind Green Hell and Dying Light!

    In this gorgeous open-world journey, you aren’t a soldier—you’re Xel, an alien botanist who has crash-landed on Earth 300,000 years ago. Instead of just fighting to stay alive, you’ll use your scientific knowledge to thrive in the Pleistocene era.

    What makes this game a must-play?

    • Botanical Mastery: Research prehistoric plants and brew medicinal tonics to stay healthy.
    • First Contact: Meet and build relationships with early humans (Neanderthals!).
    • Alien Biology: Manage your unique needs, like keeping your CO2 levels stable in Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere.
    • Create Your Sanctuary: Build a base and cultivate a lush garden amidst the wild, ancient landscape.

    Whether you love deep crafting systems or just want to explore a beautiful, prehistoric world at your own pace, ASTROBOTANICA is blooming with potential.

    Early Access launches February 16, 2026!

    Which prehistoric creature or plant are you most excited to discover? Let us know in the comments!

  • Magic Forge Tycoon is officially OUT NOW on Steam!

    Magic Forge Tycoon is officially OUT NOW on Steam!

    Ever wanted to be the “shadow puppet master” of a fantasy world? Forget being the hero—become the ultimate magical arms dealer.

    • Forge legendary weapons with deep customisation.
    • Manipulate the market as kingdoms clash.
    • Choose: Will you fuel the flames of war for profit or forge a path to peace?

    Every hammer strike shapes the fate of Korendor. Are you ready to build your empire?

    Instead of just “making gold,” you’re actually managing the geopolitics of the world. I spent an hour trying to decide if I should supply the Elves to stabilise the border or sell “accidentally” low-durability maces to the Orcs to tank their economy.

  • REANIMAL – The masters of horror are back!

    REANIMAL – The masters of horror are back!

    The first look at REANIMAL is giving us absolute chills. Tarsier Studios is doubling down on that signature “disturbing-meets-beautiful” art style. This time, we follow a brother and sister on a quest to rescue their missing friends from a literal hellscape of mutated animals.

    It’s dark, it’s visceral, and it looks like it’s going to be a masterpiece of environmental storytelling.

    If you loved Little Nightmares, you need to put REANIMAL on your radar immediately. Developed by Tarsier Studios, this looks like their most unsettling journey yet.

    We’re trading the Maw for a fragmented island filled with terrifying, skin-crawling creatures. The best part? You can brave this nightmare in local or online co-op!

    Nimillion The Last Expedition demo game on Steam now!

    Ready to test your piloting skills? The demo for Nimillion – The Last Expedition just dropped on Steam, and it’s a brutal, physics-based treat for anyone who misses the “no hand-holding” era of gaming.

    Developed by solo dev Anthony Gatti (Digital Candy), this is a “Metroidvania Spaceship Adventure” that swaps traditional platforming for tight, thruster-only flight mechanics.

    What’s in the Demo?

    • Physics-First Flight: Forget autopilot. You’ll need total precision to navigate tight corridors using only your ship’s thrusters.
    • Early Abilities: Get a taste of the progression system by unlocking the Short Boost, Protective Shield, Zero-G Mode, and the Burst Laser.
    • Retro Challenge: Inspired by Amiga classics like Gravity Force, this game is “brutal yet fair.” It’s designed for players who find modern games a bit too easy.
    • Speedrun Ready: The demo includes global leaderboards—perfect if you want to prove you’re the best pilot in the galaxy.

    Why You Should Play

    If you love the exploration of a Metroidvania but want the high-stakes mechanical challenge of a precision platformer (like Celeste but with a rocket ship), this is for you. The full game is slated for a Q1 2026 release, so now is the perfect time to get your wings.
