    Helm, Heart, Home — FARLANE Shows Frontier Life in Brand-New Screenshots!

    Life on the edge of the galaxy is equal parts danger, discovery, and family — and now you can see it for yourself! Independent Croatian studio Siscia Games has debuted a fresh set of screenshots from FARLANE, their upcoming single-player sci-fi adventure where you take command of a beat-up frontier ship and the tight-knit crew that calls it home.

    Command Your Vessel, Care for Your Crew

    FARLANE isn’t about grand fleets or conquering empires — it’s about the quiet, vital work of keeping a small freighter flying and your people thriving on the galaxy’s unruly fringe:

    • Captain’s Burden — You’re the skipper, the problem-solver, and the final word. Navigate trade routes, take on jobs, and steer your ship through uncertain space — all while keeping your crew fed, rested, and loyal
    • Crew & Connection — Every member has a name, a backstory, and a life aboard. Talk, listen, and grow together as you cross the stars. Their wellbeing shapes your ship’s morale, your choices, and your journey
    • Frontier Realism — The galaxy is vast and untamed. Ports are few and far between; supplies are precious; repairs are hard-won. This is space adventure grounded in human scale
    • Stunning New Looks — The newly released screenshots showcase cabin interiors, bridge views, bustling port stops, and the quiet beauty of the frontier beyond the viewport

    Wishlist & Follow — The Journey Continues

    FARLANE is currently in development by Siscia Games, with more details and release news coming soon. Head over to the official channels to wishlist and be the first to know when the next update drops.

    The galaxy doesn’t need heroes — it needs a captain who cares.

  • Ambition, Intrigue, Boredom — Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda Joins Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy!

    Ambition, Intrigue, Boredom — Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda Joins Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy!

    When boredom strikes, chaos follows — and the Calixis Sector is about to get a lot more interesting! Developer Owlcat Games has unveiled Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda, the latest companion character joining your warband in the upcoming cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy — a legendary Rogue Trader who sticks around for one reason only: to cure her ennui.

    From the Koronus Expanse to Your Inquisitorial Party

    Aspyce Chorda isn’t your average ally. Born into a noble Scintillan dynasty, she carved her name across the lawless Koronus Expanse through ambition, treachery, and unmistakable ruthlessness. When the Great Rift trapped her far from home, she found herself on Scintilla — and soon found herself bored. Enter: your investigation.

    • Fearsome Reputation — Nobles fear her, naval officers respect her, and the Inquisition watches her every move with deep suspicion. Her lineage is noble; her methods are anything but
    • Boredom Is Her Motivation — Sophisticated entertainments no longer suffice. An Inquisitorial investigation offers fresh, unusual, and brutal distractions. She’s here because she wants to be — and she’ll leave the moment it stops being fun
    • Deadly Versatility — Expert with both ranged and melee weapons, she boosts party morale while striking fear into enemies. Her knowledge of xenos and social influence make her invaluable — if you can keep her interested

    The Great Rift, The Calixis Sector, And A Warband Like No Other

    Dark Heresy casts you not as a Rogue Trader, but as an Acolyte of the Inquisition — investigating heresy, uncovering conspiracies, and walking the razor’s edge between salvation and damnation. Chorda is just one of many distinctive companions joining your cause, each with their own voice, motives, and loyalties.

    The game is coming soon to Steam — wishlist now to be alerted when it arrives, and keep an eye on Owlcat Games for further reveals.

    She’s dangerous, she’s unpredictable, and she’s bored. Pray you don’t disappoint her.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy — The Emperor’s Will. Her amusement. Your peril.

  • Drift, Dream, Design — Reality Drift Welcomes Katamari Creator Keita Takahashi!

    Drift, Dream, Design — Reality Drift Welcomes Katamari Creator Keita Takahashi!

    Buckle up for something truly extraordinary — and delightfully strange! Independent studio Arganoid Industries is thrilled to announce that their surreal 2.5D roguelike racer Reality Drift will feature exclusive guest artwork from legendary designer Keita Takahashi — the creative mind behind Katamari Damacy, Wattam, and to a T.

    Where the Road Makes No Sense — And That’s the Point

    Reality Drift isn’t your average race. It’s a strategic roguelike journey through ever-more-bizarre worlds, where your driving skill matters just as much as the upgrades, cards, and paths you choose between runs. Deliver packages to eccentric, god-like beings, customise your ride, and carve your own route through the unknown.

    Now, things are getting even weirder — and wonderfully so — thanks to Takahashi’s signature touch:

    • A Track Inside You — His centrepiece contribution: a fully realised racetrack where you drive through the human body itself
    • Delightfully Odd Sprites — Giant sheep, towering pigeons, grinning skulls, bats, and a landscape where colossal legs rise straight from the ground
    • Pure Unmistakable Charm — The visionary behind Katamari brings his whimsical, joyful, utterly unique style to the game’s most memorable corners

    A Match Made in Surreal Heaven

    For lead developer Andrew Gillett — a veteran of titles including LostWinds and Elite Dangerous — this is a dream collaboration: “As someone who has loved Katamari Damacy ever since its release in 2004, it’s really exciting to be working with the man behind it. I always try to make games which are a bit unhinged, so when I was looking for an artist to supplement the visuals in Reality Drift, Keita was the perfect fit.”

    Steam Next Fest & Launch Details

    • Steam Next Fest — Play the demo during the October showcase
    • Full Release — November 11, 2026, on Steam for Windows, macOS, and Linux
    • Wishlist Now — Head to the Steam store page to follow the game and be notified at launch

    Expect the unexpected. Race through the impossible.

    Dusk, Deck, Destiny — Cards After Midnight Unleashes a Cursed Roguelike Adventure!

    The clock is ticking — and midnight brings a terrifying change. Publisher JanduSoft has teamed up with Córdoba-based indie studio Boomfire Games (creators of Furwind, Cards of the Dead, and The Creepy Syndrome) to bring Cards After Midnight to every platform — a dark roguelike card adventure where time itself is your deadliest enemy.

    Daylight Fades — The Curse Awakens

    Cards After Midnight isn’t just about building a powerful deck — it’s about surviving the relentless march of time. Your character, your cards, and your very nature shift as the hours pass:

    • By Day — You’re a hunted survivor, armed and desperate, preparing for what the night will bring. Plan your strategy, fortify your deck, and make every card count before the sun sets
    • At Midnight — The curse takes hold. You transform, and your cards — and your fate — change entirely. The villagers hunt you, and you must rely on savage new powers to survive until dawn

    Every run is a race against the clock. Your deck evolves, your choices reshape the story, and one wrong move can seal your fate forever.

    Proven Talent — A Partnership Born of Passion

    Boomfire Games, based in Córdoba, Spain, has built a reputation for stylish, atmospheric indie experiences — and Cards After Midnight looks to be their most ambitious yet. Together with JanduSoft, they’re bringing this gothic tale of transformation and survival to PC and all major consoles in Q1 2027.

    Grandma’s computer is full of bugs — and you’re the one to fix them!

A free demo lands on Steam in November 2026, with the full game launching in 2027 — and the Steam store page is live right now!

  • Position, Build, Survive — Silent Mainland Brings Grid Tactics to Roguelike Deckbuilding!

    Position, Build, Survive — Silent Mainland Brings Grid Tactics to Roguelike Deckbuilding!

    Every card counts — and every position matters. Independent developer and publisher Winwill Studio has unveiled Silent Mainland, a tense roguelike deck-builder where tactical placement meets deep card strategy across a sprawling 5×12 battlefield. A free demo is available now — and the game will feature in Steam Next Fest this October!

    Where Movement Is Your Greatest Weapon

    Silent Mainland rethinks the deck-builder formula by putting you in command of more than just a hand of cards — you control your place on the board. Fights unfold on a wide 5-row, 12-column grid, where shifting your position forward, back, or side-to-side doesn’t just keep you safe — it unlocks powerful card synergies, cost reductions, and devastating attacks.

    Monster waves surge in from the right, pressing closer with every turn. There’s no mindless spamming here: every play, every repositioning, and every deck choice is a life-or-death call. Fall back to control the pace, push forward across the Safety Line to cut energy costs and gain strength, and adapt as the battlefield itself shifts — including dynamic Day/Night cycles that rewrite the rules of combat mid-fight.

    Key Highlights

    • Spatial Strategy — Positioning isn’t an afterthought; it’s the core mechanic. Where you stand changes what your cards can do, how far enemies can reach, and whether you survive the next wave
    • Endless Variety — 350+ cards, multiple mercenary characters, 130+ relics, and procedurally generated runs mean no two journeys across the Silent Mainland are ever the same
    • Day & Night Tactics — The battlefield transforms as turns pass, altering lines, ranges, and strategic opportunities. Your plan must evolve with the light
    • Inspired Design — Built with deckbuilding greats like Slay the Spire and Monster Train in mind, then expanded with fresh grid-based depth

    Play It Now — And Catch Us at Steam Next Fest

    You don’t have to wait to step onto the battlefield. The Silent Mainland demo is live right now on Steam — head to the store page to download it and start your first run. Plus, join us during Steam Next Fest in October for fresh looks, live updates, and a chance to see just how deep the strategy runs.

    When the tide of monsters rises, it’s not just the cards in your hand that will save you — it’s where you stand.

    Silent Mainland — Position well. Build wisely. Survive the surge.
