  • MECHBORN 90s mech anime merges with Greek mythology

    MECHBORN 90s mech anime merges with Greek mythology

    Protect Earth, pilot god-forged titans, and crush the Kaiju threat!

    The wait is almost over. MECHBORN, the highly anticipated roguelike deckbuilder from Turtle Juice and Curve Games, has officially been revealed for a late 2026 release!

    Blending the nostalgic vibes of ’90s mech anime with the epic scale of Greek mythology, this isn’t your average card battler. In MECHBORN, your Mech IS your deck. Customising your machine with different parts directly changes your available moves and strategy.

    Why we’re hyped:

    • The Conveyor Belt System: Forget a standard hand of cards. Your abilities move along a conveyor belt, making positioning and timing just as vital as the cards you play!
    • 12 Unique Pilots: Each pilot brings their own backstory and powerful active skills that can turn the tide of a Kaiju invasion.
    • Adaptive Exploration: No fixed paths here. Navigate three massive continents freely—just keep an eye on your fuel!
    • Legendary Mechs: Choose from three distinct god-forged models: Original, Spartan, or Olympian.

    Whether you’re looking for deep strategy or just want to see giant robots punch giant monsters, MECHBORN is shaping up to be a must-play in 2026.

    Coming to: PC (Steam), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the new Nintendo Switch 2!

    Can’t wait? A pre-alpha demo is live right now on itch.io! Go test your synchronisation levels today.

  • Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You and Orwell: Ignorance is Strength now on Nintendo Switch

    Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You and Orwell: Ignorance is Strength now on Nintendo Switch

    BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING… ON THE GO

    Ever wondered what it’s like to be the “eye in the sky”? The wait is over. The critically acclaimed surveillance thriller series Orwell has officially arrived on Nintendo Switch!

    Now you can play through both award-winning seasons of this gripping digital mystery wherever you are. But remember: every data chunk you upload has consequences.

    Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You

    Step into “The Office,” a top-secret government department. After a terror attack rocks the capital, you are the first human researcher for the Orwell program.

    • Investigate: Trawl through personal files, social media, and private chats.
    • Decide: What information is relevant? What stays private?
    • Consequences: Your reports will lead to arrests—or let the real culprits walk free.

    Orwell: Ignorance is Strength

    The darker, more intense second season runs parallel to the first but introduces a whole new set of ethical dilemmas.

    • Information Warfare: Dive into the world of “fake news” and political manipulation.
    • New Tools: Use the “Influencer” tool to shape public narrative and control how the truth is perceived.
    • Time-Sensitive: A new “time of day” system makes every minute count as you race to stop a geopolitical crisis.

    Why play on Switch? Fully optimised for handheld play (perfect for that “cosy surveillance” vibe). Compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. Perfect for fans of Papers, Please, Her Story, or 1984.

    The line between security and privacy is thinner than ever. Which side will you choose?

    Available now on the Nintendo eShop! Get 10% off if you grab it during the launch window!
