  • DEATH, DINNER, AND DODGY REPLACEMENTS — GRAVE MISTAKES SERVES UP CO-OP CHAOS NOVEMBER 26 ON STEAM

    DEATH, DINNER, AND DODGY REPLACEMENTS — GRAVE MISTAKES SERVES UP CO-OP CHAOS NOVEMBER 26 ON STEAM

    Polished caskets, heartfelt eulogies, and a very hungry Grandma in the basement. Developer Happy Volcano and publisher Oro Interactive are thrilled to announce Grave Mistakes, a gleefully macabre co-op horror-comedy where you and up to three friends run the Good Mourning™ Funeral Home — a family business where the day job is dignified farewells, and the night shift is keeping a terrifying secret fed. Launching November 26, 2026 exclusively on Steam.


    WELCOME TO THE FAMILY BUSINESS — JUST DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT

    At first glance, Good Mourning is like any other funeral home: you greet grieving families, discuss arrangements, prepare bodies, deliver eulogies, play the organ, and ensure every service runs smoothly and respectfully. But this family has kept a bargain alive for generations — and it comes at a price.

    Grandma, still officially CEO, made a deal to save the business from ruin. The cost? She became something else entirely — and now she lives in the basement, demanding a fresh delivery of… ingredients every single day.

    YOUR SHIFT: DIGNITY BY DAY, DIVERSION BY NIGHT

    Grave Mistakes is built for 2–4 player online co-op, with proximity voice chat turning every close call into pure comedy. Your team must juggle two impossible jobs at once:

    • Keep up appearances: Meet families, comfort them, arrange services, and deliver heartfelt eulogies — all while maintaining total professionalism
    • Keep Grandma fed: Select the right body parts, prepare them carefully, and slip them down to the basement before the clock runs out
    • Cover your tracks: Limbs taken? Replace them with whatever’s handy — a basketball for a head, a shovel for an arm, a skateboard for a leg. Just make sure nobody notices
    • Work against the clock: Bodies decay over time — delay too long, and the deception becomes impossible to hide
    • Fail the feed… and you’re on the menu: Miss Grandma’s deadline, and one of your crew could become the main course

    The game thrives on split-second teamwork: one player stands at the podium delivering a solemn speech while another frantically shoves a makeshift replacement into a casket backstage. It’s equal parts frantic simulation, slapstick stealth, and creeping dread — with a story that slowly uncovers exactly what Grandma became and why.

    KEY FEATURES AT A GLANCE

    PREPARE YOUR EULOGY — AND YOUR ESCAPE PLAN

    Grave Mistakes doesn’t just ask you to manage a business — it asks you to manage the impossible: respect the dead, comfort the living, and keep a monster fed without getting caught. Every service is a tightrope walk between compassion and conspiracy, every replacement a gamble, and every evening a race against time.

    “We wanted to make something that feels like a chaotic family dinner — if the family dinner was also a funeral service and your grandmother was a horror that needed feeding.” — Happy Volcano & Oro Interactive

    Grave Mistakes arrives on Steam — November 26, 2026. Add it to your wishlist now before the bodies start piling up. The doors are open. The families are arriving. And Grandma is getting hungry.

  • All Doors Now Open — Riddlewood Manor Exits Early Access, Full Haunt Live on Meta Quest

    All Doors Now Open — Riddlewood Manor Exits Early Access, Full Haunt Live on Meta Quest

    The wait is over. Peanut Button — the acclaimed indie studio behind The Secret of Retropolis and Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye — has officially released the complete version of Riddlewood Manor on the Meta Quest Store. Priced at $14.99, this hand-drawn VR horror-comedy has graduated from Early Access with the full story, fresh areas, quality-of-life upgrades, and secrets waiting for every kind of explorer.


    What Is Riddlewood Manor?

    The manor wants you dead. That’s not a figure of speech — it’s the premise. Every creaking floorboard, locked door, and shadowed corner hides a trap. Yet somehow, it’s all delivered with a twinkle in its eye: this is horror-comedy at its most charming, blending spooky atmosphere with dry wit, hand-painted visuals, and puzzles that test your brain more than your nerves.

    You arrive at the gloomy estate with one goal: uncover the tragic truth behind the Riddlewood family — and get out alive. What began as a slice of Early Access back in April 2026 has swelled into a full, sprawling adventure that rewards returning players with everything they asked for.

    What’s New in the Full Release?

    This isn’t just a polish pass — it’s the game Peanut Button always intended to make:

    • The complete story — every chapter, secret, and twist now woven into one cohesive narrative
    • New areas to explore — previously sealed wings, hidden passages, and shadowed chambers have been thrown open
    • Brand-new map system — never get lost again; track your progress across the manor’s maze-like layout
    • Secret endings — your choices shape how the haunting concludes; multiple outcomes await sharp-eyed players
    • Full voice acting — every ghost, ghoul, and grumpy presence speaks with character and personality
    • Localised for 12 languages — English, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish

    Built for VR — Comfort and Choice

    Riddlewood Manor runs beautifully across the entire Meta Quest family — Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, and Quest Pro — and respects how you want to play:

    • Seated or standing — no motion sickness required
    • Controllers or hand tracking — point, gesture, or grip; your call
    • Jump scare warning toggle — keep the atmosphere without the surprise
    • Early Access owners upgrade for free — already bought it? You get the full version at zero extra cost

    From Retropolis to Riddlewood

    Peanut Button has carved out a reputation for stylish, thoughtful adventures. Their Retropolis duology earned praise for vibrant worlds, sharp writing, and unforgettable characters. With Riddlewood Manor, they’ve traded sci-fi neon for gothic gloom — but kept every bit of that signature heart. The art style remains instantly recognisable: hand-drawn, expressive, and packed with personality. The tone? Equal parts spooky, silly, and sincerely touching.

    The Verdict — Worth the Wait

    Early Access feedback directly shaped this release. The map system? Player-requested. The expanded areas? Driven by community hunger for more. The result is a game that doesn’t just feature an audience — it was built with one. At $14.99 for a complete story with multiple endings, it stands as one of the most distinctive VR adventures of the year.

    Step Inside — If You Dare

    The Meta Quest Store page is live right now. Whether you’re returning to finish what you started or stepping across the threshold for the very first time, the doors are open. Just remember: the manor has a sense of humour. It might not be a nice one.

  • Shhh — Keep Your Bills Shut & Your Flock Close! QUIET Drops First Demo Oct 22 After Massive Global Playtest

    Shhh — Keep Your Bills Shut & Your Flock Close! QUIET Drops First Demo Oct 22 After Massive Global Playtest

    Silence is survival — and your very life depends on it. QUIET, the uproariously tense 1–4 player co-op horror-comedy from LINE Games, is preparing to make some noise of its own: its first-ever public demo lands October 22, fresh off a wildly successful playtest that drew 270,000+ players across 148 countries.

    The game will also feature at The MIX Fall Showcase and take part in Screamfest (Oct 26 – Nov 2), putting its unique sound-is-everything gameplay front and centre for horror fans worldwide.

    What Is QUIET? Don’t Make a Sound…

    You and your flock are alien ducks — yes, alien ducks — who’ve crash-landed on Earth. Your ship is busted, and the spare parts you need are inside a seemingly ordinary house. The problem? The homeowner is anything but ordinary — and she hears everything.

    QUIET is built on one brutal rule: every sound matters. Sprint too fast, knock over a lamp, fumble an item — or even breathe too loudly into your microphone — and you’ll give away your position. Move quietly, work together, and slip out unseen; make a racket, and she’ll come for you.

    From Strength to Strength: The Playtest Phenomenon

    The game’s earlier limited playtest exploded far beyond expectations, with players from Norwich to New Zealand sneaking, scrambling, and squawking their way through the dark. That massive global turnout proved one thing: the world is ready for a co-op horror that’s equal parts heart-pounding tension and feather-ruffling fun. LINE Games has been poring over every piece of feedback, refining mechanics, and smoothing the stealth to make the demo the best possible introduction.

    What to Expect in the Demo

    • Sound = Survival — Your footsteps, your fumbles, and even your real-world voice chat can trigger detection. Silence isn’t just golden — it’s your only defence.
    • Solo or Flock — Go it alone or sneak in as a squad of up to four. Co-ordination is key; one clumsy quack can spell doom for everyone.
    • Procedurally Spooked — No two runs feel the same, with shifting layouts and hazards keeping even seasoned players on edge.
    • Horror Meets Hijinks — The tone balances genuine dread with slapstick charm. One moment you’re holding your breath in pitch blackness; the next, you’re accidentally sending a stack of teacups crashing to the floor.

    Showcase Season: Two Big Stages

    The excitement ramps up fast:

    • The MIX Fall Showcase — QUIET takes the spotlight alongside some of indie gaming’s most promising titles.
    • Screamfest (Oct 26 – Nov 2) — Right on the heels of the demo launch, QUIET joins the premier horror gaming event, letting players and streamers show how well they really keep quiet under pressure.

  • Spooky Puzzles & Dark Humour — Riddlewood Manor Haunts Meta Quest Oct 21

    Spooky Puzzles & Dark Humour — Riddlewood Manor Haunts Meta Quest Oct 21

    Halloween is coming early — and this year, you’re invited to stay at the most mysterious address in VR. Indie studio Peanut Button, the creative minds behind the beloved Retropolis series, has announced that Riddlewood Manor will launch its full version on Meta Quest on October 21st, perfectly timed for the spooky season.

    Welcome to the Cursed Estate

    Riddlewood Manor isn’t just a building — it’s a place steeped in shadow, secrets, and more than a little mischief. The full release blends atmospheric escape-room style puzzles with a delightfully dark, humorous narrative, inviting you to wander creaking corridors, probe forgotten chambers, and peel back layers of history that have stayed hidden for far too long.

    This complete version unlocks the deepest, most terrifying secrets the estate has guarded — puzzles that test your wits, and revelations that will send a shiver down your spine… or perhaps make you snort-laugh in delight. It’s spooky fun, not sheer horror — the kind of thrills perfect for crisp October nights.

    From the Creators of Retropolis

    Peanut Button has built a reputation for clever world-building, charming writing, and puzzles that feel rewarding rather than frustrating. They’ve brought that same care and creativity to Riddlewood Manor — giving every room its own personality, every clue its own story, and the whole place a vibe that sits somewhere between cosy and chilling.

    Whether you’re hunting for hidden passageways, piecing together the tragicomic tale of the house’s former residents, or just soaking in the wonderfully eerie atmosphere, Riddlewood Manor promises an experience that lingers — long after you’ve taken off the headset.

    Ready to Check In?

    The full version of Riddlewood Manor arrives on Meta Quest platforms October 21st — just in time to make your Halloween haunting extra special. The doors are unlocked… but can you find your way out?

  • Bodies, Basketballs, and Banquets — Grave Mistakes Serves Up Chaos in the Afterlife!

    Bodies, Basketballs, and Banquets — Grave Mistakes Serves Up Chaos in the Afterlife!

    Running a funeral home has never been this chaotic — or this questionable. Developer Happy Volcano and publisher Oro Interactive have lifted the lid on Grave Mistakes, a gleefully twisted co-op horror comedy for up to 4 players where the job description includes everything but respect.

    When the Deceased Don’t Stay Deceased

    Welcome to Good Mourning™ Funeral Home — where things go wrong with alarming regularity. Bodies go missing, parts get damaged, and grieving families are due any minute. The solution? Get creative. Swap a mangled head for something roughly spherical — a basketball, a melon, anything that sort of fits — and hope nobody asks too many questions. A limb gone AWOL? Find something similarly long and attach it. Panic, improvise, and pray they don’t notice.

    Grandma’s Dinner Has to Come From Somewhere

    That’s not the only secret simmering beneath the surface. There’s a side operation keeping the lights on — and the menu is uncomfortably familiar. Every shift balances two missions: pull off a convincing funeral service AND keep the supply chain flowing. The stakes are absurd, the humour is dark, and the consequences are deeply, delightfully awkward.

    Teamwork Makes the Fake-Work

    Up to four players manage the chaos together: prep bodies, craft convincing replacements, deliver eulogies with a straight face, and operate the organ while your friends scramble to hide the evidence. Proximity chat means your panicked whispers could be heard — or your loud improvisations could give the whole game away. Coordinate, cover for each other, or crash and burn in spectacular fashion.

    Beyond the Buffet — A Mystery Unfolds

    It’s not all slapstick substitutions. Beneath the madness lies a genuine mystery: why are things going wrong? What’s really happening at Good Mourning™? And how far does the rot go? Upgrade the funeral home, uncover clues, and figure out what — or who — is pulling the strings.

    Coming Soon

    Grave Mistakes arrives on Steam in November 2026. You can already wishlist it and sign up for upcoming playtests — perfect timing to gather your most untrustworthy friends and prepare for a service no one will ever forget.

    The viewing is starting — and someone’s head is missing. Good luck.

    Key Features to Get Excited About

    • 1 to 4 Player Co-op: Play solo if you’re feeling brave (or foolish), or squad up with up to three friends for maximum multiplayer mayhem.
    • A Perfect Blend of Horror & Humour: One minute you’re screaming as a monstrosity from the deep stalks you through the dark; the next, you’re laughing hysterically as your friend accidentally triggers a booby trap and launches themselves off a cliff.
    • Proximity Voice Chat: Communication is key! Use in-game voice chat to coordinate with your crew—or listen in dread as your teammate’s panicked screams fade into the distance.
    • Dynamic Scavenging & Replayability: Every run offers fresh encounters, cursed artefacts, unpredictable hazards, and eerie locations that will keep your crew on their toes.

    From Ukrainian Indie Roots to a Viral Smash Hit

    Developed by RetroStyle Games, an accomplished Ukrainian studio known for its art and game development expertise, Last Pirates: Die Together has already proven it has a massive audience waiting in the wings.

    During its demo phase, the game blew past expectations, attracting over 300,000 players who jumped in to test their nautical survival skills.

  • Míster Jagger’s Surreal Horror-Comedy OH DEMON! Fix My TV Is Coming to PS5

    Míster Jagger’s Surreal Horror-Comedy OH DEMON! Fix My TV Is Coming to PS5

    It’s time to prepare your eyes, your minds, and your television sets. Selecta Play has officially announced that it will be publishing OH DEMON! Fix My TV—the bizarre, viral hit from legendary Spanish content creator, streamer, and internet phenomenon Míster Jagger—on PlayStation 5 later this year!

    Following its wildly discussed, surreal debut on PC earlier this year, console players are finally getting their chance to experience one of the most uniquely unhinged indie games of 2026.

    What on Earth is OH DEMON! Fix My TV?

    If you are familiar with Míster Jagger’s internet presence, you already know to expect the unexpected. Developed alongside Melt, the game takes a completely mundane household chore and spirals it into absolute, supernatural chaos.

    The premise is delightfully absurd: an elderly woman named Encarnita has a broken television set. Naturally, instead of calling a repairman, she decides to summon a demon from the underworld (you) to fix it.

    What follows is a first-person adventure that seamlessly blends genuine psychological horror with unpredictable, laugh-out-loud comedy. As you try to fix Encarnita’s TV, you are thrust into dream-logic puzzles, impossible shifting geometry, and terrifying chase sequences involving entities from beyond.

    Key Gameplay Features:

    • The Gaze Mechanic: A standout feature where your literal gaze alters the environment around you—turning on lights, uncovering hidden clues, and revealing secret passages.
    • Absurdist Horror-Comedy: A tonal rollercoaster that switches from creepy, tense atmospheres to surreal, laugh-out-loud comedy in the blink of an eye.
    • Immersive Audio & Soundtrack: A highly atmospheric soundscape specifically designed to ramp up the tension during the game’s more chaotic segments.

    Physical and Exclusive Collector’s Editions Confirmed!

    Selecta Play isn’t just dropping this on the PlayStation Store digitally; they are going all out for fans of physical media.

    OH DEMON! Fix My TV will be getting a physical Standard Edition, as well as a highly anticipated Collector’s Edition. This premium version will be exclusive to GAME and is being designed specifically as an “auteur piece” for hardcore fans of Míster Jagger’s distinctive creative universe.

    The Verdict: If you’re tired of the same old cookie-cutter horror tropes and want an indie title that takes massive creative risks, this is your next obsession. It’s strange, it’s grotesque, and it’s deeply memorable.

    Stay tuned to TechMash for the official release date drop as soon as Selecta Play locks it in!
