  • SENT TO DIE, DETERMINED TO LIVE — CASUALTIES: UNKNOWN EMERGES ON STEAM AFTER THREE-YEAR ODYSSEY

    SENT TO DIE, DETERMINED TO LIVE — CASUALTIES: UNKNOWN EMERGES ON STEAM AFTER THREE-YEAR ODYSSEY

    You are not a hero. You are not a saviour. You are just another disposable asset — dropped onto an alien world, ordered to retrieve what was lost, and left to figure out how to stay alive.

    Developer Orsoniks and publisher Oro Interactive have officially launched Casualties: Unknown on Steam — a punishing, atmospheric survival adventure three years in the making, where every wound matters, every resource counts, and you are one of thousands sent into the dark to never return.

    ELEVEN LAYERS OF UNFORGIVING DEPTH

    You wake on a fractured, hostile planet. Your captors don’t care if you come back — they only care if you recover the cargo. Your mission: descend through 11 distinct, punishing layers of an alien subterranean realm, each one more dangerous than the last, and each holding secrets that previous expeditions died trying to understand.

    This isn’t a game about sprinting to the bottom. It’s about endurance, adaptation, and the quiet terror of watching your own body fail:

    • Full physiological simulation — treat lacerations, manage infection risk, stem blood loss, and monitor your mental state. Depression and exhaustion can be as deadly as claws and teeth
    • Craft to survive — scavenge materials from the environment to bandage wounds, build tools, and fashion the gear that might keep you breathing just a little longer
    • Procedural threats — no two runs are identical. Resources shift, creatures adapt, and the caves themselves rearrange their dangers
    • Permadeath — when you fall, you fall for good. There are no checkpoints to reload, no second chances to undo a fatal mistake

    THREE PATHS, THREE FATES — THE FULL GAME ARRIVES

    After months of community feedback and a widely praised demo, the full release brings everything players have been waiting for — and then some:

    • Layers 6 through 11 now open — doubling the depth and danger beyond the demo experience
    • Three distinct playable characters, each with their own starting conditions, strengths, and stories
    • Three separate endings shaped entirely by your choices and what you discover in the deep
    • 40 Steam achievements tracking every milestone, triumph, and near-defeat
    • Over 50-track original soundtrack spanning more than three hours of haunting, atmospheric score — available separately or bundled with the game
    • Countless balance refinements, quality-of-life improvements, and polish shaped by nearly three years of community input

    MADE WITH CARE, PRICED FAIRLY

    Casualties: Unknown is available now on Steam for $22.99, with a 15% launch discount for early buyers. Regional pricing ensures the game is accessible worldwide, and the soundtrack bundle offers a way to support the creator directly while immersing yourself in the world’s eerie, beautiful soundscape.

    The journey hasn’t been quick — nearly three years from first spark to full release — but Orsoniks and Oro Interactive have built something that refuses to cut corners or compromise on vision.

    THE DARK IS CALLING — WILL YOU RETURN?

    Thousands have been sent before you. Most never came back. Some left notes, supplies, warnings — and evidence of what truly waits in the deepest dark.

    Casualties: Unknown isn’t about winning. It’s about going as far as you can, holding on as long as possible, and discovering what lies at the bottom of everything.

    Grab your gear. Watch your back. And remember — you’re expendable. But you’re not helpless.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Digging Into Danger: Why Subterranean Horror ‘MOLE’ Is Steam’s Latest Overwhelmingly Positive Obsession

    Digging Into Danger: Why Subterranean Horror ‘MOLE’ Is Steam’s Latest Overwhelmingly Positive Obsession

    The indie horror scene has a new champion, and it’s buried miles beneath the Earth’s surface.

    Developed by Off Black Creations and published by Oro Interactive, the claustrophobic psychological horror simulator MOLE launched on Steam to massive critical acclaim. Within just its first two weeks, the title has struck absolute gold, rocketing to a spectacular 97% “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating with more than 1,500 user reviews.

    If you loved the tactile dread of Iron Lung or the narrative mind-bending of Mouthwashing, MOLE is your next mandatory descent into madness.

    What is MOLE?

    Set beneath post-war Slavic soil, MOLE puts you in the boots of the Navigator aboard a monstrous, deep-bore drilling machine. The setup is elegantly terrifying: your crew has entirely vanished, the vessel is dead silent, and a strange, haunting signal keeps broadcasting from the deep.

    Your objective? Keep the colossal machine running at all costs.

    Why is the Steam Community Obsessed?

    Achieving a 97% positive rating on Steam during a launch window is no small feat. Reviewers and players are praising MOLE for its masterclass execution in a few key areas:

    • Incredibly Tactile, Analogue Mechanics: Everything in your drilling “coffin” is manual. You aren’t just clicking menus; you are throwing heavy levers, managing clunky ’00s-style interfaces, slipping cassettes into decks, and typing directly into creepy operating systems. The sheer clunkiness of the machinery amplifies the panic when things inevitably go wrong.
    • Atmosphere Over Cheap Scares: While there are plenty of pulse-pounding moments, MOLE excels at psychological dread. The sound design is phenomenal—every creak of the hull feels like the Earth crushing you to a smear.
    • A Haunting Narrative: As you dig deeper into the crust, you dig into the protagonist’s fractured memories. It’s a short, highly polished, 4-to-5-hour narrative that balances terrifying set pieces with deeply emotional, heart-wrenching trauma.

    The Verdict

    Off Black Creations (a four-person Swedish studio consisting of former AAA developers) promised to challenge expectations with an obsessively polished, weekend-length game as art—and they delivered. Backed by Oro Interactive’s knack for publishing wonderfully bizarre indie gems, MOLE is cementing itself as one of the definitive indie horror hits of the year.

    If you are ready to find out whether the vessel or your mind will break first, MOLE is available now on PC via Steam. Don’t sleep on this one—just make sure to leave a light on.

  • The Ultimate Pit Stop: Roadside Research Gets a Massive Content Upgrade This May

    The Ultimate Pit Stop: Roadside Research Gets a Massive Content Upgrade This May

    Forget everything you know about standard petrol station management. If you thought dealing with grumpy commuters and overflowing bins was a challenge, try recalibrating a hyperdrive while a three-eyed tourist asks where the “human-grade” snacks are.

    Cybernetic Walrus and Oro Interactive have just announced that their chaotic co-op alien gas-station simulator, Roadside Research, is about to get a whole lot weirder. On May 19th, a massive update is dropping that literally brings the heavens down to Earth—or at least to the roof of your station.

    A Spaceship Just Parked on the Roof… and We’re Not Mad About It

    The centrepiece of this update is as subtle as a supernova: a massive, high-tech spaceship has permanently docked itself right on top of the station. But this isn’t an invasion; it’s an expansion.

    Far from being a structural hazard, this celestial visitor acts as a permanent upgrade to your facility. The “ship-on-top” mechanic introduces a vertical layer to the gameplay, effectively doubling your operational capacity and leaving the station better equipped than ever to handle the galaxy’s most demanding travellers.

    What’s New in the May 19th Update?

    While the full patch notes are still under wraps, here is what we know about the “Docking Day” expansion:

    • Interstellar Tech: Access new alien blueprints to automate fuel delivery and trash disposal (because nobody likes cleaning up space-slime).
    • Vertical Gameplay: Use gravity lifts to move between the traditional pumps and the high-end docking bays upstairs.
    • New Customer Species: Expect a fresh influx of bizarre extraterrestrials, each with their own unique demands and “cultural” quirks.
    • Enhanced Co-op Synergies: New tasks designed specifically for team coordination—one player manages the terrestrial pumps while another handles the orbital arrivals.

    Why Roadside Research is Winning Over Co-op Fans

    If you haven’t dived into Roadside Research yet, think of it as Overcooked meets Sci-Fi Tycoon. It’s a game that thrives on communication (and the inevitable breakdown of it).

    Managing a gas station in the middle of a galactic trade route is stressful enough, but when you’re trying to balance fuel pressures and alien appetites simultaneously, the comedy-to-chaos ratio hits the sweet spot. This new update looks to lean even harder into that frantic, fun-filled loop.

    TechMash Tip: Grab a few friends before May 19th and get your station basics down. Once that ship lands, the learning curve is going to get a lot steeper—and a lot more exciting.

    Roadside Research is available now, with the “Docking Day” update arriving for free on May 19th. Keep your eyes on the skies—and your hands on the squeegee.

  • Survive the Descent: Why “Casualties: Unknown” Is the Most Brutal Sim of 2026

    Survive the Descent: Why “Casualties: Unknown” Is the Most Brutal Sim of 2026

    If you’ve ever felt that modern survival games are a bit too “cosy,” Orsoniks and Oro Interactive have a wake-up call for you. Having just transitioned from a cult-hit prototype on itch.io to a major Steam Demo launch on April 20, 2026, Casualties: Unknown is proving that the most terrifying thing in the universe isn’t an alien—it’s your own blood pressure.

    This isn’t just a cave explorer; it’s a gruelling test of biological management where your character is less a hero and more a “test subject sent to die.”

    The Premise: Disposable Heroes

    You are a bio-engineered scavenger, dropped onto a hostile alien planet by shadowy captors to retrieve lost cargo. You are one of thousands. If you die—and you will die—you’re simply replaced by the next unfortunate soul in line.

    The game’s structure is built around 11 increasingly lethal layers (5 of which are playable in the current demo). But forget about the monsters for a second; the environment itself is your primary antagonist.

    Why It’s “Unforgiving”

    The buzz surrounding Casualties: Unknown often compares it to the systemic brutality of Rain World or the medical intensity of Barotrauma. Here is what sets it apart:

    • Simulated Biology: The game features a full cardiovascular and limb damage system. You don’t just “lose HP.” You bleed out, suffer from infected wounds, and must manually stabilise your internal systems before losing consciousness.
    • Mental State Matters: Your character’s mood is a literal survival mechanic. Panic and despair aren’t just flavour text—they actively make the gameplay harder, clouding your vision or affecting your physical performance.
    • Knowledge is Power: In true rogue-lite fashion, your character stays weak, but you get smarter. Learning how to navigate the 300+ items and complex crafting system is the only way to turn a 0% survival chance into a 5% one.

    A Breakdown of the Core Systems

    SystemImpact on Gameplay
    MedicalRequires bandaging, surgery, and infection management.
    CraftingEssential for building the tools needed to navigate the verticality of the caves.
    TraitsLevelling Intelligence, Strength, and Resilience throughout a run.
    EnvironmentFeatures everything from unstable terrain to deadly traps (which can be adjusted in the menu).

    The Verdict: Is It For You?

    “Casualties: Unknown is a game that rewards patience and caution. Any mistake can, and likely will, spiral into an ugly, permanent death.”

    If you enjoy games where every inch of progress feels earned and every narrow escape feels like a miracle, this is your new obsession. However, if you’re prone to “rage-quitting” when a falling rock ends a two-hour run, you might want to stick to the surface.

    The Casualties: Unknown Demo is currently available for free on Steam, giving you a generous look at the first 5 layers. Just remember the golden rule of the depths: Don’t rush.

  • MOLE psychological horror demo game available

    MOLE psychological horror demo game available

    If you’re looking for a game that makes you question your own peripheral vision, MOLE is a masterclass in “less is more.”

    While many horror titles rely on loud jump scares and gore, MOLE digs deep into liminal space and the crushing weight of isolation. It’s a psychological slow-burn that understands that what you don’t see is usually much scarier than what you do.

    Why it Sticks With You:

    • Atmospheric Dread: The sound design is oppressive. Every metallic clink and distant shuffle feels intentional, turning a simple environment into a living, breathing threat.
    • Minimalist Storytelling: It doesn’t hold your hand. You’re forced to piece together the narrative through environmental cues, leaving just enough to the imagination to keep you uneasy.
    • The “Uncanny” Factor: It plays with familiar settings and twists them just enough to trigger that “something is wrong here” instinct.

    The Verdict: It’s a short, sharp shock to the system. Perfect for a late-night session when you’re already feeling a bit jumpy. Just… maybe don’t look too closely at the shadows in the corner of your room afterwards.

  • Greetings, Earthlings: Why Roadside Research is the Simulation Game You Need

    Greetings, Earthlings: Why Roadside Research is the Simulation Game You Need

    Ever felt like you were just going through the motions at a job? Well, buckle up, because the newly revealed co-op simulator, Roadside Research, takes that feeling to a delightfully absurd extreme. This isn’t just another gas station sim; it’s a hectic, hilarious, and ultimately bizarre mission to blend in as a human—while being an alien—all to gather intel for a future invasion.

    Developed by Cybernetic Walrus and published by Oro Interactive, this game turns the mundane into the manic, and here’s why you should be wishlisting it right now.

    The Premise: Undercover and Overwhelmed

    The core concept of Roadside Research is simple yet brilliant: you and up to three friends play as aliens in comically poor human disguises (think colorful, balloon-like heads with crudely drawn paper faces) running a roadside gas station. Your dual mission is to:

    1. Run a Satisfying Gas Station: This involves all the classic simulation chaos—restocking shelves, refuelling cars, managing inventory, and keeping the place clean.
    2. Conduct Secret Alien Research: All while you’re supposed to be “blending in,” you’re secretly collecting data on humanity.

    It’s the ultimate balancing act of customer service and covert operations.

    The Alien Agenda: Squishy Science and Suspicion

    This is where the game truly differentiates itself from other simulators. Your undercover work isn’t just about scanning IDs at the checkout; it involves some wonderfully weird mechanics:

    • Collecting “DNA”: That discarded wrapper or empty can a customer carelessly left on the floor? That’s valuable intel! You collect “trash” not for the bin, but for your alien scanner to gain Research Points.
    • The Goop Problem: As an alien, you’re prone to… accidents. Occasionally, you’ll hear a squelching sound and find yourself standing in a puddle of green goop—which you have to clean up to avoid suspicion!
    • Suspicion Meter: Do too many un-humanlike things (like chasing a customer into the restroom to take a photo of their blue hair for research), and the meter rises. Get too suspicious, and the Men In Black government agents will come knocking. Screw up, and it’s game over!
    • Dual Upgrade Path: The Research Points you earn are spent on a separate tech tree from the Gas Station upgrades. You need to decide: Do you invest in better alien scanning tech, or a better coffee machine to attract more customers?

    The Human Grind: Simulation with a Twist

    Even the gas station simulation side is handled with a charmingly chaotic approach. You need to:

    • Master the Checkout: Quickly ring up customers and deal with different fuel types.
    • Restock Like a Pro: Keep those snack shelves full of sugary, human-preferred items.
    • Cleanliness is… Alien? You even clean the dirty floors using a sponge stuck to the bottom of a boot—because why would aliens use a normal mop?

    The fun comes from trying to do the perfectly normal tasks while simultaneously trying to be the sneakiest alien attendant you can be. It’s frantic, funny, and perfect for shouting at your friends in co-op mode.

    The Verdict So Far

    With a successful demo having already drawn in players and gathered “Very Positive” reviews, Roadside Research has clearly captured the market’s appetite for absurd, objective-based co-op simulation. It perfectly blends the satisfying loop of a management sim with an incredibly unique and hilarious narrative twist.

    If you love the frantic team chaos of games like Overcooked! or the low-stakes management of titles like Gas Station Simulator, but crave something with a truly bizarre, sci-fi sense of humor, this is absolutely the title to watch. Just try not to get any goop on the cash register.
