    Terror, Tale, Timing — ASYLUM Opens Its Doors Just In Time For Halloween!

    The wait is nearly over — and the shadows are gathering! Publisher SOEDESCO® and developer Senscape have confirmed that their eagerly anticipated first-person psychological horror adventure ASYLUM will launch digitally on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch on October 30 — perfectly timed for your Halloween horror marathon.

    Step into the hallways of the Hanwell Mental Institute — a towering, decaying labyrinth that feels disturbingly alive. You play as an ex-patient haunted by fractured visions, returning to unravel the institution’s hidden history and face the shocking truth at its core. Crafted by the creators of cult classics Scratches and Serena, ASYLUM leans into masterful slow-burn terror rather than cheap jump scares.

    What Awaits Inside?

    • Around 10 hours of atmospheric, story-driven exploration — plus countless dark secrets to uncover
    • A haunting soundtrack inspired by 1980s horror and the legendary John Carpenter
    • Influences spanning Lovecraftian dread to the cinematic flair of Peter Cushing and Lucio Fulci
    • Deep, rewarding puzzles and a diegetic interface that keeps you fully immersed
    • Minimal jump scares — fear creeps in through atmosphere, not surprise shocks

    Following a warmly received PC debut in 2025, where it earned “Very Positive” ratings on Steam, the game now brings its full next-gen-optimised terror to consoles — complete with 4K support and smooth performance on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

    The doors open October 30. Ready to check in? Wishlist ASYLUM now on your platform of choice — and prepare for a Halloween you won’t forget.

  • Cold Case in Summer — Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year Hits Nov 22!

    Cold Case in Summer — Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year Hits Nov 22!

    Summer in Shimofuri Village is frozen solid. A livestream ends in tragedy. And the only detective on the case can detach her own head. Developer Lobstudio is proud to announce Zombie Police: Midsummer Unhappy New Year shambles onto PC via Steam on November 22, 2026, with a Nintendo Switch release to follow later.

    Meet the Undying Duo

    Step into the shoes of Akemi Kabane — an eccentric, unflappable zombie detective — and her sharp, grounded junior partner Yasu Tamura, a diehard fan of classic detective dramas. Together they’re investigating a village where ancient customs clash with modern eyes, and where the season itself has been frozen in place.

    Akemi’s un-deadly advantages:

    • Zombie Dive — literally enter people’s minds (and objects) to uncover buried truths
    • Drink poison to test a theory — no problem when you’re already not-alive
    • Take her own head off to get a better look — yes, really
    • Sleep in a freezer and wake up fresh

    How You Solve the Crime

    • Gather testimony — question villagers, inspect crime scenes, hunt for inconsistencies
    • Connect clues in the Journal — link keywords and statements to build a clear picture
    • Spot contradictions — challenge what you’re told and present hard evidence
    • Choices matter — your responses shape the investigation and the story’s direction

    Comedy Meets Quiet Drama

    The game balances Akemi’s absurd antics with genuine emotion — a story about tradition versus change, old ways clashing with new, and a community struggling to move forward. Expect laughs, heartfelt moments, and genuine mystery.

    “Zombie Police is ultimately a game about older traditions versus newer values and ways of life.” — Tsuyoshi Manabe, CEO, Lobstudio

    Paddle Power — Hit Co-Op Chaos Paddle Paddle Paddle Launches on Nintendo Switch!

    Grab your friends, steady your nerves, and prepare for maximum mayhem — the viral paddle-rowing sensation Paddle Paddle Paddle is officially paddling onto Nintendo Switch! Publisher Assemble Entertainment and solo developer Mateo Covic (Zoroarts) have launched the game digitally today, September 17th, priced at just €4.99.

    What Is Paddle Paddle Paddle?

    Described as a brutally frustrating yet endlessly charming co-op boat adventure, this is the game that took PC by storm — selling over 287,000 copies on Steam since its 2025 debut and earning a nomination for Best Casual Game at the German Video Game Awards.

    The premise is beautifully, hilariously simple:

    • Row your way through a treacherous, lava-surrounded parkour course
    • Dodge swinging axes, unpredictable winds, slippery slopes, and devilish jumps
    • One-button gameplay per player — easy to pick up, nearly impossible to master
    • Play solo (control both paddles yourself) or with up to 4 players locally

    “The game will stay true to its PC counterpart with the ‘one-button’ gameplay — it will feel no different than when playing on PC. Although it has been greatly optimized to run even smoother, those improvements are also coming back to the PC version.”

    — Mateo Covic / Zoroarts

    Built Perfectly for Switch

    This isn’t just a port — it’s been tuned to shine on Nintendo’s hybrid console:

    • Fully optimised for both handheld and docked play
    • Optional touch controls for an extra layer of immersion
    • Supports single Joy-Con play — pass a controller to a friend instantly
    • Cross-compatible with your progress and play style from the PC edition

    Why It Blown Up

    Paddle Paddle Paddle isn’t just a game — it’s a phenomenon. Streamers and players worldwide fell in love with its:

    • Pure, unfiltered chaos — every run is different, every mistake is hilarious
    • Low barrier to entry — zero complex controls, just timing and teamwork
    • Highly addictive frustration — you’ll fail the same jump 27 times, then nail it and feel like a legend

    Pricing & Availability

    • Nintendo Switch eShop — available NOW, €4.99 (~£4.29 / $4.99)
    • PC (Steam) — continues to be available, with a free update bringing all Switch-side optimisations to desktop players
    • Languages — English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese

    Ready to Paddle?

    Whether you’re reuniting with old friends or ruining new friendships, Paddle Paddle Paddle is the perfect pick-up-and-play party game — now truly portable. Dive in, keep your boat afloat, and remember: it’s always someone else’s fault when you hit the lava.

  • Mark Your Calendars: Tama In-Between Pounces October 29 — Nintendo Switch Version Confirmed!

    Mark Your Calendars: Tama In-Between Pounces October 29 — Nintendo Switch Version Confirmed!

    Fruitbat Factory has officially locked in the release date for Tama In-Between, the charmingly clever puzzle adventure from Masagomi Studios — and there’s even more good news: it’s coming to Nintendo Switch alongside PC!

    Release Date Set — October 29, 2026

    The adorable slime-cat puzzle platformer will launch on Thursday 29th October 2026, arriving on Steam (Windows, Mac, Linux) and Nintendo Switch, giving players on both platforms the chance to guide Tama through a strange, beautiful world of mystery and mind-bending puzzles.

    Who Is Tama?

    Tama isn’t your ordinary feline — this squishy, stretchy slime cat possesses three extraordinary abilities that form the heart of every puzzle:

    • Absorb — take in surrounding slime to grow larger; bigger Tama means stronger possibilities
    • Split — divide your form to leave copies behind, using the recoil to launch yourself across gaps or position clones as switches
    • Possess — send your soul to take control of a distant copy, solving puzzles from entirely new angles

    It’s a game that rewards both sharp wits and clever timing — simple to pick up, but with layers of delightful depth as you progress.

    A Journey Through a Mysterious World

    Guided by a faint, unnameable feeling, Tama sets off across a vivid, enchanting land in search of something even she doesn’t fully understand. Every stage introduces fresh mechanics and imaginative obstacles, all wrapped in beautiful pixel-art visuals and a gently atmospheric tone that invites you to slow down and think.

    Platforms & Details

    • Steam (PC/Mac/Linux) — launches Oct 29, with full controller support, achievements, and family sharing
    • Nintendo Switch — confirmed; release timing and pricing details coming soon
    • Languages — English, Japanese, plus Simplified & Traditional Chinese support

    A demo previously made its debut during Steam Next Fest, letting early players get a taste of Tama’s squishy adventures — and the full game promises to expand on that foundation with even more creative puzzles and surprises.

    Coming Soon

    Keep an eye here — we’ll bring you pricing, pre-order details, and the first Switch footage as soon as it lands. Tama’s journey begins October 29th, and you won’t want to miss it.

    Restore Balance Through Feeling: MONOWAVE Launches Today on Steam & Nintendo Switch!

    Independent developer Studio BBB has officially launched MONOWAVE, a heartfelt puzzle-adventure platformer, out now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch — priced at £7.39 / $9.99 / €8.99, with a special 10% launch discount available for a limited time!

    A Journey of Heart and Harmony

    In MONOWAVE you step into the shoes of Mono, a newborn Guardian spirit born into a world where balance has been broken. The great Prism Tree at the heart of the world has lost its light, and the four core Emotions — Happiness, Sorrow, Anger, and Anxiety — have scattered far and wide. Your mission: seek them out, understand them, and bring them home to heal the land.

    This isn’t a story about defeating enemies — it’s about understanding them. Each emotion grants Mono unique abilities that change how you move, explore, and solve puzzles:

    Table

    EmotionCore Ability
    HappinessLeap higher to reach new heights
    SorrowShrink down to slip through narrow gaps
    AngerUnleash powerful wall-kicks to climb sheer surfaces
    AnxietyMove with care to traverse dangerous terrain safely

    Every emotion evolves as you progress — after facing each Emotion Spirit, you’ll unlock a second, enhanced ability, expanding your puzzle-solving toolkit even further.

    A Living, Emotional World

    What makes MONOWAVE truly special is how the world itself responds to your state of mind. Across your journey, you’ll meet 18 unique Spirit characters, each one reacting differently depending on which emotion you’re expressing — creating over 72 possible interactions that can open up new paths, reveal secrets, or change how puzzles unfold.

    The adventure spans two vast, beautiful regions — from the frozen depths of The Somber Trench to the gravity-defying wonder of The Blissful Islands — plus eight hidden stages waiting to be discovered by those who explore every corner.

    • Play solo or bring a friend in local co-op (Steam also supports Remote Play Together)
    • A wordless, touching story told entirely through expressive art and animation

  • Terranigma Returns: Classic SNES Action RPG Comes Home January 14, 2027 Across All Major Platforms

    Terranigma Returns: Classic SNES Action RPG Comes Home January 14, 2027 Across All Major Platforms

    Clear River Games, the publisher dedicated to preserving and reintroducing beloved classic and retro titles, has officially confirmed that the legendary action RPG Terranigma will be re-released digitally and physically on January 14, 2027. The 1995 Quintet masterpiece arrives on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam & GOG), bringing one of the SNES era’s most cherished — and long hard-to-find — adventures to modern players for the first time.

    A Legend Reborn

    Originally launched in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Terranigma earned enduring acclaim for its sweeping story of rebirth, creation, and humanity; its vibrant pixel art; and its emotionally resonant soundtrack. Following protagonist Ark on a journey to resurrect the world — from the awakening of life to the rise of civilisation — the game has long stood as a high-water mark in Japanese RPG design, yet for decades remained trapped on its original platform with no official modern re-release.

    That wait is now over. Clear River Games has partnered to faithfully restore the title while updating it for today’s hardware, with oversight and new artwork from original character artist Kamui Fujiwara, ensuring the spirit of the original is honoured throughout.

    What’s New — And What Stays Classic

    This is no full remake: the beloved gameplay, visuals, and narrative remain intact, thoughtfully enhanced with quality-of-life improvements and presentation options:

    • Quality-of-life upgrades: Quick magic button, item hot-swap, fully remappable controls, and a rewind function
    • Enhanced display: Customisable high-resolution backgrounds, CRT filter, and multiple aspect ratios
    • Arranged Mode: An optional rebalanced experience with boosted magic damage, permanent mini-map, and free-save anywhere
    • Bonus content: In-game music player and museum mode featuring concept and production art

    Collectors Rejoice — Three Physical Editions

    For fans who want something tangible, three distinct physical releases are being produced for consoles:

    Table

    EditionHighlights
    Standard EditionFull game, premium packaging
    SteelBook® EditionCollectable SteelBook case, exclusive cover art
    Gaia EditionPremium magnetic box with art by Kamui Fujiwara; SteelBook game; 200-page art book; enamel pin of pixel Ark; original soundtrack CD; 100% cotton cloth map

    A limited-run Foiled Standard Edition will also be available exclusively through Clear River Games and Limited Run Games storefronts.

    Mark Your Calendars

    Terranigma launches digitally and physically on January 14, 2027. Wishlists are now live on Steam and GOG for PC, and digital storefronts for consoles will follow shortly. Whether you’re returning to Crysta to walk Ark’s path once more or stepping into this timeless tale for the very first time, the world is ready to be reborn — and you’re invited.

    • New Question Types & Rounds: Fresh hijinks-fueling question formats ensure even veteran players won’t see the bluffs coming.
      • Emojional Damage: Players must respond to a prompt using only emojis (e.g., “the best gift for your boss”), while the Faker is left guessing with only a broad category (like “an object”). Good luck explaining why a shoe is the perfect workplace present!
      • Thumb Luck: A rapid-fire opinion round where players vote thumbs up or thumbs down on topics like “Working from Home” or “Dogs in Costumes”. The Faker has to vote totally blind and justify their stance afterwards.
    • Enhanced Remote Play: Seamless online compatibility means you don’t all need to be on the same couch. New features allow your in-game avatar to perform physical actions for you during video calls, making long-distance deceit smoother than ever.

    Release Date & Platforms

    Fakin’ It XL is scheduled to launch on November 12 for PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S at a budget-friendly price point of $8.99, with Nintendo Switch releases following shortly after.
