  • 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.

  • Duck Side of the Moon launching on PC & Nintendo Switch in May

    Duck Side of the Moon launching on PC & Nintendo Switch in May

    Move over, Neil Armstrong—there’s a new explorer in town, and he’s significantly more aerodynamic. Dutch indie studio Starbrew Games has officially announced that their cosy space adventure, Duck Side of the Moon, is set to launch on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) and Nintendo Switch on May 7th, 2026.

    If you’ve ever felt like the daily grind was getting a bit too “heavy,” this game is designed to be the perfect counterweight. You play as Doug, an overworked duck astronaut who, after a mission goes sideways, finds himself crash-landed in a whimsical, neon-soaked corner of the galaxy.

    A Galaxy Built on Vibes

    Forget the high-stakes survival horror often associated with space; Duck Side of the Moon is all about the “cosy.” Your main objective? Turning a literal crash site into a home.

    The planet Doug lands on isn’t just a hunk of rock—it’s inhabited by Geodes, a race of sentient, disco-loving rocks who live to boogie. To get your ship back into the stars, you’ll need to help these chatty pebbles rediscover their groove through wholesome quests and exploration.

    Key Features to Get Excited About:

    Waddle & Fly: Explore a vibrant open world at your own pace—no timers, no stress.

    Space DIY: Mine rare minerals in glowing caves to craft gadgets and upgrade your ship.

    Customisation: Turn your spaceship into a sanctuary with couches and even basketball hoops. Plus, you can dress Doug in a variety of silly outfits and hats.

    The Quack Button: Yes, there is a dedicated button to quack at the local wildlife (and disco rocks).

    Why It’s On Our Radar

    Developed by a team of six graduates from the Netherlands, Duck Side of the Moon has already made waves in the indie scene. The Steam demo currently boasts a 100% “Very Positive” rating, with players praising its chilled-out atmosphere and charming art style. It’s a heartfelt story about finding a home and the importance of taking a break—something we could all probably use.

    “Maybe this break is exactly what Doug needs!” — Starbrew Games

    Mark Your Calendars

    Whether you’re looking to lounge on your sofa with the Nintendo Switch or explore on PC, you won’t have to wait long.

    If you can’t wait until May, the free demo is still available on Steam to give you a taste of the first island. It’s time to get your ducks in a row (or at least one duck in a spaceship).

  • Journey into the Unknown: Why You Should be Excited for Subsequence!

    Journey into the Unknown: Why You Should be Excited for Subsequence!

    Get ready to mark your calendars, adventure fans! A new independent game is on the horizon, promising a blend of retro charm, challenging puzzles, and laugh-out-loud humour. Developed by Zoemi Games, the stylised 3D adventure game Subsequence is a passion project years in the making, and it’s shaping up to be a truly unique addition to the indie scene.

    A Thrilling, Humorous Descent into Chaos

    Subsequence throws you into the shoes of Vicky, a character who, by pure coincidence, finds herself trapped in an underground research facility. Things quickly spiral from bad to life-threatening, forcing Vicky to embark on a desperate journey for survival and a quest to uncover the secrets behind an incident connected to her brother, Vincent’s, enigmatic research.

    The game’s settings are anything but mundane—you’ll be traversing through not just laboratories, but also a burning elevator shaft, a flooded supply tunnel, and maybe even space! This wild variety of environments suggests a truly imaginative and unpredictable adventure.

    Gameplay: Classic Adventure with a Modern Polish

    At its core, Subsequence is a linear, single-player, story-driven adventure game that focuses on several key mechanics:

    • Logical Puzzles: Prepare to put your brain to the test! Solving clever environmental and object-based puzzles is essential for progressing.
    • Exploration: The game encourages players to fully explore its colourful, mysterious world to find clues and hidden paths.
    • Item Collection and Use: An old-school adventure staple! Finding and utilising items in the right places will be key to overcoming obstacles.

    The developers assure us that while there will be moments of tension, the overall experience is low-stress and spiced with a careful dose of humour, promising a fun and engaging time without overly hardcore challenges. It’s an old-school, casual adventure game designed for enjoyment.

    The Heart of the Story: Character and Style

    Subsequence stands out with its stylised art direction. The characters are modeled as completely black silhouettes without textures, giving them a distinct and memorable look that contrasts with the detailed and colorful environments, from Vicky’s cozy home to the expansive interiors of a spaceship.

    While the story is deep and involves conversations, a unique feature is the lack of conversation options, ensuring a focused, cinematic, and narrative-driven experience. Keep an eye out for hidden collectable items as well, which are said to unlock new features or reveal more about the world’s lore.

    Behind the Game: A True Solo Dev Effort

    What makes Subsequence even more compelling is its origin: it’s been developed primarily by a solo developer, Jakub Pilar of Zoemi Games, for over a decade in his free time! This level of dedication and passion for a single project often translates into a deeply personal and creatively pure gaming experience. The game is currently planned for release on PC (Windows/Mac) via Steam.

    Subsequence is shaping up to be a charming, atmospheric, and fun adventure that honours the genre’s roots while carving its own stylistic path. Keep it on your radar for a memorable journey into the unknown!
