    Break Out — Back to the Dawn Escapes to PS5 Today

    The walls won’t keep you quiet forever.

    Publisher Clouded Leopard Entertainment, together with developer Metal Head Games, has officially launched Back to the Dawn on PlayStation 5 — available right now via the PlayStation Store for $34.99. This gritty, story-rich prison-break RPG casts you into a maximum-security facility seething with corruption, factions, and buried conspiracies — and it’s up to you to survive, uncover the truth, and get out.

    Two Lives Behind Bars

    You’re not just choosing a character — you’re choosing why you’re locked up. Two distinct protagonists, two separate stories, each with over 20 hours of narrative:

    • Thomas the Fox — an investigative journalist wrongfully convicted for digging too deep. Trapped in Boulderton Prison while his attorney fights on the outside, he must gather evidence from the inside to expose the conspiracy that framed him and save the city.
    • Bob the Panther — a seasoned undercover agent tired of the game. Drawn back for one last mission by personal tragedy, he infiltrates the prison to root out rot from within — and walks away with his life if he can.

    Every choice matters. With over 500,000 words of dialogue, 100+ handcrafted quests, and 47 uniquely written inmates, the prison feels alive — and dangerous.

    The Prison Is Your World — and Your Weapon

    Boulderton Prison isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a sprawling, living system you must learn to manipulate:

    • Navigate the power struggle — three rival gangs run the blocks. Ally, oppose, exploit, or play them against each other. Build alliances or rule through fear; the choice is yours.
    • Gather evidence in secret — snoop files, overhear conversations, and piece together what the authorities are hiding. Do it well, and you unravel the truth. Get caught, and you’re punished.
    • Grow your way — brute force, stealth, charm, or cunning. An open skill system lets you shape your approach: fight your way out, pick every lock, or talk your way past guards.
    • Craft your escape — fashion tools from scrap, dig tunnels, bribe guards, or engineer chaos. Multiple escape routes, each with distinct risks and rewards, lead to several possible endings — no two breakouts play the same.

    PS5 — Polished & Ready to Play

    The PS5 edition delivers the full experience, fine-tuned for Sony’s hardware:

    • Demo save transfer — already tested the free demo? Your progress carries straight over
    • Full localisation — English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil)
    • PS Portal cloud streaming supported for PS Plus Premium subscribers
    • 2-hour full game trial available exclusively for PS Plus Premium members
    • Accessibility — clear text, readable UI, and controller refinements

    Already praised on PC, Xbox, and Nintendo platforms, Back to the Dawn arrives on PS5 as the definitive version — polished, complete, and ready for new players to discover.

    Ready to Run?

    • Out Now ? PlayStation Store — $34.99
    • Free Demo ? Available to download immediately
    • Playtime ? 20–30+ hours per character
    • One Player — a deeply personal story of survival and truth

    The guards think they’ve silenced you. The gangs think they own the place. They’re wrong.

    Plan smart, trust carefully, and break free. Dawn is coming.

  • Current Flowing — The House of Tesla: Definitive Edition Powers Up on Mobile Today

    Current Flowing — The House of Tesla: Definitive Edition Powers Up on Mobile Today

    The genius of Nikola Tesla is now in your pocket. Developer and publisher Blue Brain Games, the team behind the acclaimed The House of Da Vinci series, has officially released The House of Tesla: Definitive Edition for iOS and Android — bringing the critically praised puzzle adventure to mobile devices for the very first time.

    Wardenclyffe Awaits — Step Into the Inventor’s Shadow

    Set within the real-life, abandoned Wardenclyffe Tower facility — Tesla’s unfinished dream of global wireless electricity — this atmospheric puzzle adventure spans five meticulously crafted chapters rooted in actual locations and the inventor’s blueprints. You’ll explore deserted laboratories, decipher forgotten machinery, and wield a unique Prototype Device that lets you visualise and manipulate the flow of electrical current to unlock secrets and open new paths.

    The Definitive Edition rebuilds and elevates the entire experience:

    • Completely overhauled final chapter — new puzzles, visuals, and narrative flow for a satisfying, impactful conclusion
    • Enhanced presentation — upgraded textures, lighting, sound design, and models across every scene
    • Deeper storytelling — expanded diary entries and a dynamic flashback system that weaves Tesla’s vision into the mystery
    • Over 10 hours of thoughtful, challenging gameplay with a refined hint system

    Built for Touch — Optimised for Every Device

    This isn’t a rushed port — the interface and controls have been reimagined from the ground up for touchscreens, making every connection, rotation, and discovery feel natural on phones and tablets.

    • App Store (iOS): One purchase unlocks the game on iPhone, iPad, AND Mac — cross-platform access included
    • Google Play (Android): Available now as a standalone release
    • Price: $6.99 / €6.99 / £6.99 — premium experience, no ads, no in-app purchases
    • Languages: Full voice acting in English and Czech; interface/subtitles in 10 languages including French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese-Brazil, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish

    From PC to Pocket — A Growing Legacy

    Originally launched on PC in September 2025, The House of Tesla quickly earned a following for its intelligent puzzles, rich atmosphere, and respectful inspiration from history. The Definitive Edition arrived earlier this year on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG — and now, with the mobile release, Tesla’s mystery reaches its widest audience yet.

    Blue Brain Games has also hinted the story may continue: “We believe this story isn’t finished yet,” promising future updates and follow-ups.

    The current is flowing. Wardenclyffe is waiting. Will you uncover what Tesla left behind?

  • Clues, Contradictions & Crime — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Launches October 15!

    Clues, Contradictions & Crime — Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction Launches October 15!

    Publisher Yogscast Games and Bristol-based indie developer Gilded Rune Games have officially announced that Dupery: A Game of Solo Deduction — the genre-bending single-player social deduction roguelite — arrives on SteamThursday 15 October 2026, with a 20% launch discount available at release.

    What Is Dupery? — Everyone Is a Suspect. Most Are Lying.

    Social deduction games usually need a group of friends — one of whom is definitely lying. Dupery brings that tension entirely to single-player. You’re a detective in a noir city infiltrated by a criminal syndicate. Every case drops you into a grid of suspects who make statements — but Innocents tell the truth, Underlings lie, Traitors deceive, and Meddlers muddle the facts. Compare statements, spot contradictions, and arrest the guilty — but get it wrong, and your reputation tanks. Too many mistakes, and you’re fired.

    The Core Hook

    • 175+ handcrafted roles across four categories: Innocent, Meddler, Underling, Traitor
    • Procedurally generated cases — no two investigations play the same way
    • Reputation system — preserve your standing; wrongful arrests cost you progress
    • 3 distinct regions — each with unique mechanics, quirks, and dedicated role pools
    • In-game notation toolkit — build your own crime board, track alibis, and mark contradictions
    • Roguelite structure — fail, reset, learn patterns, and take down the syndicate one case at a time

    Why It Stands Out

    Social deduction is traditionally a multiplayer space — Among Us, Secret Hitler, Town of Salem. Dupery is the first to fully translate that suspicion-and-trust loop into a compelling solo experience. Every suspect has a role that dictates how they communicate — some lie outright, others omit, some accidentally mislead. Decoding that web of deceit entirely on your own is a uniquely satisfying mental workout.

    The game built buzz through the Tiny Teams Festival and a community ARG that had players solving puzzles before release. Early previews call it “Minesweeper where half the numbers are lying” — tense, replayable, and endlessly clever.

    The syndicate runs the city. Only you can untangle the lies. Will you arrest the guilty… or will you get duped?
