    Unravel the Truth: ‘Sounds from Beyond’ Delivers a Chilling Graphic-Noir Mystery on iPhone

    What happens when the person you love most vanishes, and your own memories are the one thing you can’t rely on?

    If you are a fan of immersive storytelling, gripping mystery, and atmospheric indie titles, there is a new title on iOS that deserves a spot on your home screen. Sounds from Beyond, an evocative new interactive novel created by brothers David and Carlos Marcano, is available now on the App Store for iPhone.

    A Haunting Narrative of Suspense and Deception

    At its core, Sounds from Beyond pulls players into a deeply personal psychological thriller. You follow a protagonist desperately searching for their missing fiancée—a quest hampered by a fractured mind and memories that cannot be trusted. Every step forward forces you to question what is real, what is fabricated, and what secrets lie buried in the shadows.

    Rather than relying on fast-paced action, the game builds an incredible sense of dread and mystery through rich artistic and audio presentation.

    A Masterclass in Atmospheric Design

    The Marcano brothers have crafted a multi-sensory experience that blurs the lines between a video game and an illustrated dark thriller novel:

    • Graphic-Noir Illustrations: The game features a striking, stylised visual aesthetic that complements its dark, suspenseful themes.
    • On-Screen Prose & Full English Narration: Every line of dialogue and description is crafted to draw you deeper into the mystery, heightened by full English voice narration.
    • Meaningful Choices: At critical narrative junctures, you decide how the protagonist responds. Your decisions shape the tone and direction of the investigation as you navigate a web of uncertainty.

    Free to Start, Complete Story Unlock

    In an era dominated by microtransactions and ad-heavy mobile titles, Sounds from Beyond offers a refreshing, player-friendly release model.

    Gamers can download and play Chapter One for free, allowing you to dive into the mystery and experience the opening hook with zero commitment. If you find yourself captivated by the story—and chances are, you will—a single one-time purchase unlocks the complete story, giving you seamless access to the entire journey without interruptions.

    Verdict: A Must-Play for Story-Driven Gamers

    Whether you are a fan of noir thrillers, interactive fiction, or simply love supporting passionate indie creators, Sounds from Beyond is a haunting experience you shouldn’t miss.

    Ready to trust your instincts—even when you can’t trust your mind? Sounds from Beyond is available to download today on the App Store for iPhone.

  • 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Thunderbirds Are Go in Pixel Starships! Major Crossover Announced

    5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Thunderbirds Are Go in Pixel Starships! Major Crossover Announced

    Attention, starship captains! Stand by for action: game developer SavySoda has officially revealed an out-of-this-world collaboration bringing the legendary sci-fi classic Thunderbirds directly into the expansive, pixelated universe of Pixel Starships!

    Officially licensed by Zoo 55 (part of ITV Studios), this retro-meets-retro crossover event brings Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s beloved 1965 series straight into deep space. International Rescue is calling all pilots to step up, assemble their dream crew, and thwart another devious scheme hatched by the arch-villain, The Hood.

    Here is everything you need to know about this blockbuster event.

    Recruit the Legends of International Rescue – Whether you’re a lifelong fan of retro Supermarionation or a tactical captain looking for an edge in combat, this crossover delivers heavily on both nostalgia and strategy.

    Captains will be able to recruit iconic characters straight to their starships, including:

    Lady Penelope

    Brains

    Scott Tracy

    Virgil Tracy

    Alan Tracy

    …and even The Hood!

    A Game-Changing New Passive Ability- Navigating galactic combat is often a chaotic nightmare filled with raging fires, EMP attacks frying your systems, and toxic poison breaching your airlocks. The International Rescue team brings a massive tactical advantage to counter these hazards.

    When added to your crew, the Thunderbirds feature a game-changing passive ability: every single time they repair or attack, they instantly purge all negative status effects from your ship. With these heroes assigned to your rooms, status effects won’t stand a chance against your fleet.

    Experience Iconic Starships Like Never Before
    This event marks a major milestone for Pixel Starships, introducing the first-ever collaboration Starbase design.

    Thunderbird 5 Starbase: Command and customise the iconic high-orbit space station as your flagship central base.

    Thunderbird 2 Ship Hull: Unlock International Rescue’s signature heavy transport vehicle as an operational ship hull to navigate the cosmos.

    To top off the event, players can earn and equip exclusive gadgetry and rewards, including the Hover Pack, the Telecall Communicator Beacon, and the all-important Starpoint Percolator (because even space-faring captains need a quality caffeine fix).

    How and When to Play – The Pixel Starships x Thunderbirds crossover event kicks off on 23 August.

    Pixel Starships is free-to-play and available across PC (Steam), iOS, and Android. Jump into your command deck, recruit the Tracy family, and help International Rescue save the galaxy!

  • Sky-Gazing Without Staying Outside: Train Your Brain with DevilishGames’ New Cosy Simulator ‘Cloudgazer’

    Sky-Gazing Without Staying Outside: Train Your Brain with DevilishGames’ New Cosy Simulator ‘Cloudgazer’

    Have you ever looked up at the sky and thought, “That’s obviously a dinosaur”?

    Congratulations, you already know how to play.

    Indie developer DevilishGames is inviting players to step away from high-stakes action and take a deep breath with their upcoming cosy sky-gazing simulator, Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds. Set to launch on September 3, 2026, across Steam, iOS, and Android, this digital oasis invites gamers to train their pareidolia—the psychological phenomenon where human minds see recognisable shapes or faces in random patterns—while unwinding from the fast pace of daily life.

    Zero Pressure, Infinite Skies

    Modern gaming is often filled with tight timers, unforgiving boss fights, and relentless action. Cloudgazer strips all of that away in favour of absolute calm.

    There is no rush, no enemies, and no explosions. Instead, your only goal is to sit back, let your imagination take the wheel, and spot hidden figures drifting across a dynamic sky. Whether it’s an everyday object, a mythical beast, or a cloud that insists on looking remarkably like a cat, the game encourages players to slow down and observe.

    Key features included at launch:

    • Hundreds of Hidden Shapes: Spot animals, mythical creatures, objects, and surprising secrets nestled within the clouds.
    • Realistic Dynamic Simulations: Powered by natural cloud generation, ensuring no two skies ever look completely identical.
    • Full Day-Night Cycle: Relax through golden hour sunrises, vibrant sunsets, and serene, starry nightscapes.
    • Play Anywhere At Your Pace: Tailored for both desktop relaxation on PC and pocket-sized tranquillity on mobile platforms.

    Why Virtual Sky-Gazing?

    The developers at DevilishGames readily admit that watching the actual sky is hard to beat—joking that real-world graphics are “amazing, and most of the time, they work pretty well.” However, real life doesn’t always cooperate. Cloudless skies, dark rainy days, urban environments facing brick walls, or simply wanting to unwind on the couch after dark can leave you without a view. Cloudgazer bridges that gap, offering a serene, personal sky whenever you need a mental reset.

    If you’re looking to flex your visual imagination and swap high-octane gaming for a bit of mindfulness, Cloudgazer: A Game About Watching Clouds will be ready to download on PC via Steam, iPhone, and Android devices starting September 3.

    Where to Play

    Slots & Daggers is available to buy right now on the App Store and Google Play Store.

    Shine Bright with Liino: The ‘Morning Star of La Fantoma’ Enters the Rate-Up Banner in Arknights: Endfield!

    Pop culture meets high-stakes tactical operations on Talos-II! A brand-new 6-star operator has officially taken centre stage in Arknights: Endfield, and she is already stealing the spotlight.

    Operator Liino, a household name in the Civilisation Band’s pop culture scene and widely known as the “Morning Star of La Fantoma,” is now featured on the rate-up banner! While she originally joined Endfield Industries for personal reasons and primarily handles external communications and public outreach, don’t let her star status fool you—Liino brings incredible utility to the battlefield.

    Here is everything you need to know about Talos-II’s favourite idol and why you might want to add her to your squad.

    Who is Operator Liino?

    Before joining the ranks at Endfield Industries, Liino amassed a massive fanbase across Valley IV and beyond, captivating audiences as the idol known as the “Morning Star of La Fantoma.”

    Now managing public relations and external communications for Endfield Industries, her transition from pop stardom to tactical support feels seamless. Armed with a polearm and wielding Electric elemental abilities, Liino functions as a hybrid Electric Supporter who keeps her team energised, buffed, and standing strong.

    Combat Profile & Key Abilities

    Liino isn’t on the field to chase high damage numbers—her true strength lies in enabling the rest of your squad to shine.

    • Class: Supporter
    • Rarity: 6-Star
    • Element: Electric
    • Weapon: Polearm

    Kit Highlights:

    1. Vocalist Stance (Battle Skill): Liino spends a low amount of SP to create a supportive field around herself. While active, it increases the attack of the entire team, periodically heals nearby allies, and inflicts continuous Electric damage to surrounding enemies.
    2. Arts Reaction Synergy (Combo Skill): Triggered whenever your team applies or consumes an Arts Reaction, Liino’s Combo Skill deals extra damage, heals the active operator, and charges her Ultimate Energy.
    3. Electrifying Finale (Ultimate): Liino unleashes a powerful performance that heals all allies across the map while setting up an amplified field. This field forcibly applies Electrification to nearby enemies and boosts both Electric and Nature damage for your entire party.
    4. SP Neutral Engine (Combat Talent): After triggering her Combo Skill, Liino refunds SP to teammates when they cast Electric or Nature skills, keeping your squad’s abilities rotating smoothly without running out of momentum.

    Team Compositions & Best Synergies

    Because Liino excels at boosting damage and refunding SP, she fits naturally into reaction-heavy rosters:

    • Electric Burst Teams: Pair Liino with high-cost skill spammers like Zhuang Fangyi or Perlica. Her SP-refund passive and universal ATK boost ensure your heavy hitters can trigger their rotations faster and far more frequently.
    • Hybrid Arts & Nature Comps: Thanks to her Ultimate granting both Electric and Nature Amplification, Liino pairs exceptionally well with Nature operators like Arcane, creating seamless corrosion and elemental reaction loops.
    • Universal Flex Support: Even outside dedicated elemental teams, her low SP cost, global team healing, and raw ATK buffs make her a low-maintenance, high-value asset for almost any team lineup.

    Is Liino Worth Pulling?

    If you are running an Electric or Arts Reaction team—or if you simply need a versatile support unit who brings sustain and damage buffs in one slick package—Liino is a top-tier pull. She bridges the gap between dedicated healers and offensive buffers, ensuring your party stays alive while keeping your battle tempo fast and fluid.

    Plus, who wouldn’t want a pop icon leading the charge on Talos-II?

    Arknights: Endfield is available to play for free on PC and mobile devices. Head in-game today to try Operator Liino on her rate-up banner before her debut spotlight ends!
