  • Contain, Clean, Conquer — Quarantine Lab Sort Opens Its Doors October 28

    Contain, Clean, Conquer — Quarantine Lab Sort Opens Its Doors October 28

    The gloves are on, the checklist is ready, and nothing is where it should be. Tovarishch Games — the minds behind the acclaimed Bunker Tidy Up — and simulation specialists PlayWay S.A. have officially announced that Quarantine Lab Sort will launch on Steam this 28th October 2026. It’s time to suit up, step inside, and restore order to a facility where every shelf is chaotic, every sample is mysterious, and every jar is best left… well, handled very carefully.

    What Is Quarantine Lab Sort?

    If you’ve ever stared at a mess and thought, “I can fix this,” prepare to meet your ultimate challenge. Where Bunker Tidy Up tasked you with organising a fallout shelter, this follow-up drops you into a high-security research lab that’s fallen into total disarray. Your mission: sort, catalogue, clean, and secure over 7,000 items across the facility — turning towering piles of clutter into pristine, labelled, perfectly ordered shelves.

    But this isn’t just colour-coding and alphabetising. The lab holds dangers and discoveries in equal measure:

    • Sort 250+ distinct item types — no endless duplicates; every category brings new shape, new logic, and new satisfaction
    • Analyse mysterious samples — load the centrifuge, run tests, and uncover what’s actually inside those sealed test tubes
    • Recapture escaped subjects — the lab’s residents have wandered loose; track them down and return them safely
    • Handle hazardous materials — radioactive waste requires caution, proper gear, and the right disposal procedure; cut corners and you’ll pay the price
    • Grow your skills — earn upgrade points for every item correctly placed; unlock faster workflows, better equipment, and new wings of the facility
    • See your progress — from disarray to discipline; watch rooms transform before your eyes

    From Bunkers to Laboratories — The Tovarishch Formula

    Tovarishch Games struck a chord with players through Bunker Tidy Up, proving that satisfying organisation, calm pacing, and meaningful progression could draw huge audiences. Quarantine Lab Sort builds on that foundation with fresh mechanics, greater variety, and a setting brimming with personality:

    “This isn’t just a bunker with new decorations. There are new mechanics to explore — examining test tubes in a centrifuge, catching escaped animals, and handling radioactive waste.”

    — Tovarishch Games

    Crucially, the team has listened to feedback: no grinding through hundreds of identical objects. Every item matters, every placement advances your skills, and the satisfaction of seeing an empty shelf fill with exactly what it needs remains front and centre.

    A Partnership Built on Simulation

    PlayWay S.A. has become synonymous with immersive simulation experiences — from Car Mechanic Simulator to House Flipper. Quarantine Lab Sort fits perfectly within their portfolio: a simple premise executed with depth, care, and genuine respect for the player’s time.

  • Survival Shopping Just Got Real: The Walking Trade Drops “Drop Dead Docks” Update

    Survival Shopping Just Got Real: The Walking Trade Drops “Drop Dead Docks” Update

    The apocalypse is no excuse for poor customer service. If you’ve been spending your days balancing the books while dodging the undead in The Walking Trade, it’s time to expand your empire. Developers Microwave Games and publisher PlayWay SA have officially unleashed the Drop Dead Docks update, and it’s bringing a lot more than just a sea breeze to your post-apocalyptic storefront.

    Since its launch earlier this year, The Walking Trade has carved out a unique niche on Steam, blending tight shop management with the constant, nagging threat of being eaten. This latest update proves the team isn’t slowing down, offering veteran shopkeepers fresh ways to profit—and decorate—amidst the chaos.

    New Horizons: Welcome to the Docks

    The centrepiece of the update is the brand-new Drop Dead Docks location on the World Map. This isn’t just a place for a scenic stroll; it’s a hub for high-stakes commerce.

    • Bulk Contracts: Players can now take on randomly generated contracts to sell massive quantities of specific goods within a tight time limit.
    • Unique Rewards: Successfully fulfilling these “end-game” orders earns you exclusive rewards, including rare decorative items and even a crafting recipe for the elusive Bone Revolver.
    • The Mobile News Crew: Struggling to shift stock? You can now find a news crew near the Church. For a fee, they’ll advertise your shop, triggering a massive influx of customers specifically looking for your promoted items.

    Sprucing Up the End Times

    Who says you can’t have a nice shop while society crumbles? The update introduces over 75 new decoration items, including advanced lighting and wasteland-themed refrigeration units like the Wasteland Chiller.

    Crucially, Build Mode has received a significant upgrade. You can now permanently secure items to one another (like placing a plant on a shelf and making sure it stays there), allowing for much more intricate and stable shop layouts.

    Looking Ahead: The 2026 Roadmap

    Alongside the update, Microwave Games shared a look at what’s coming to the wasteland through the rest of the year:

    TimelineUpdate NameKey Features
    May/June 2026HousekeepingFull Controller & Steam Deck support; raid optimization.
    Late Summer 2026Rooftop FarmingRooftop access via the Warehouse; farming, tools, and seeds.
    Late 2026Into the BunkerNew sprawling bunker maps, enemy types, and boss fights.

    Final Thoughts

    The Drop Dead Docks update adds a much-needed layer of depth for players who have already mastered the basics of battery trading and staff management. With the promise of rooftop farming and deep-bunker exploration on the horizon, The Walking Trade is quickly becoming the definitive “just-one-more-day” simulator of the year.

    The update is live now on Steam. Get back to the counter, Survivor—those shelves won’t stock themselves.

  • Chaos and Commerce: The Walking Trade Hits Steam on March 5th

    Chaos and Commerce: The Walking Trade Hits Steam on March 5th

    The zombie apocalypse is usually about finding a sturdy shotgun and a safe place to hide, but for the entrepreneurs among us, it’s also a massive business opportunity. The Walking Trade, the highly anticipated store management sim from Microwave Games and PlayWay S.A., is officially launching on Steam on March 5, 2026.

    Forget just surviving—it’s time to thrive by selling batteries, crafting essential supplies, and managing a staff that’s hopefully better at retail than they are at becoming zombie snacks.

    Survival of the Most Profitable

    In The Walking Trade, you aren’t just a survivor; you’re a shopkeeper in a world that has gone to the dogs (and the undead). You’ll need to balance the daily grind of retail with the constant threat of a base-wide breach.

    The game blends simulation, management, and FPS survival in a way that feels fresh. Whether you’re carefully organising shelves to maximise floor space or wielding a firearm to defend your inventory during a midnight raid, the stakes are always high.

    Key Features to Watch For:

    Retail Management: Stock your shelves with everything from canned beans to high-end weaponry. Your prices and your reputation will determine who—or what—comes through your front door.

    Base Building & Crafting: Unlock crafting stations to build barricades, traps, and shop upgrades. A well-placed trap can be the difference between a successful day of sales and a total loss of stock.

    Staff Management: Hire fellow survivors to help scavenge, serve customers, or pull security duty. Just remember to keep them motivated—a disgruntled employee in the apocalypse is a liability you can’t afford.

    Moral Dilemmas: Will you be a beacon of hope for the community, or a “profit-at-any-cost” mogul? You can help local settlements or price-gouge them for every scrap they have.

    Tailor Your Apocalypse

    One of the most exciting aspects revealed ahead of launch is the level of customisation. After receiving feedback from their successful Steam Next Fest demo, the developers have added several “Quality of Life” and “Hardcore” toggles:

    Hardcore Mode: For the “chill-seekers” (or lack thereof), death is permanent. Lose your life, lose your save.

    Dynamic Difficulty: Players can adjust the zombie spawn rates and even the speed of the day-night cycle.

    Time Freeze: Feeling overwhelmed? You can freeze time while the store is closed to get your shelves perfectly stocked without the pressure of the clock.

    The Walking Trade is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of Gas Station Simulator or Project Zomboid who want a little more capitalism in their carnage.

    Mark your calendars for March 5! You can wishlist The Walking Trade on Steam now to stay updated on the launch.

  • Welcome to Sector 7-G: Life in Legitimate Space Corp Simulator LLC

    Welcome to Sector 7-G: Life in Legitimate Space Corp Simulator LLC

    Ever dreamed of managing a high-tech, sleek, interstellar hub of commerce? Well, keep dreaming, because vHornet Games and PlayWay S.A. are about to hand you the keys to something much more… questionable.

    Legitimate Space Corp Simulator LLC is the latest chaotic management sim to hit the scene, and it’s a far cry from your typical polished sci-fi adventure. Set in the “reputable” Sector 7-G, you play as a newly hired Intergalactic Station Manager. Your mission? Look busy, stay alive, and convince everyone that your operation is 100% legal.

    The Daily Grind (In Space)

    Forget epic space battles; your real enemies are malfunctioning teleporters and customers who walk through your restocking carts. The gameplay loop is a quirky blend of shop management and survival:

    • Fueling “Shady” Ships: Refuel vessels with propellant that is mostly not cut with stellar debris.
    • Alien Hydroponics: Cultivate “entirely legal” alien crops in a greenhouse that might be semi-sentient.
    • Station Maintenance: Repair asteroid damage using tools that barely passed safety inspections.
    • Customer Service: Stock shelves with snacks that are technically considered edible in most sectors.
    • The Glamour: Yes, you will be picking up trash. It’s a dirty job, but someone (you) has to do it.

    Why It’s Standing Out

    Following the successful release of its Free Prologue in late 2025, the game has already garnered “Very Positive” reviews on Steam. Players are praising its dry, self-aware humour and the intentional chaos of its systems.

    The developer, vHornet Games, has leaned heavily into community-driven development, even adding a Twitch Mode that allows viewers to spawn as unique characters in the station and cause mayhem using commands like !Yeet or !Dance.

    Employee Perks Include:

    • Standard issue gloves.
    • Oxygen insurance (terms and conditions apply).
    • The chance to upgrade from “Intern with Oxygen Privileges” to “Franchise Owner.”

    Launch Details

    If you’re ready to start your “totally legit” career, you won’t have to wait long. The full version of Legitimate Space Corp Simulator LLC is scheduled to launch on January 22, 2026.
