    Rods, Reefs & Real Friends — FISHY Hooks Global Launch October 15 on Meta Quest!

    Gone are the days of fishing alone by a quiet bank — in VR, your catch is just the start. ENVER, the studio behind hit titles Scary Baboon and MotoX, has teamed up with Trass Games, creators of the wildly popular Yeeps, to cast a line into something entirely new: FISHY — a free-to-play social VR fishing adventure reimagining the hobby as a shared, lively multiplayer experience. It launches globally October 15, 2026, exclusively on Meta Quest.

    What Is FISHY?

    FISHY takes the satisfying loop of casting, catching, and upgrading — and builds a vibrant social world around it. Whether you’re a casual caster or a dedicated collector, the game is designed so that every trip out feels like hanging out with friends:

    • Cast away — hook hundreds of fish across diverse waters, from calm shallows to deep mysterious reefs
    • Progress & upgrade — earn better rods, specialised bait, and improved gear to reach rarer, more valuable catches
    • Explore together — wander across a sprawling island, discover hidden fishing spots, and uncover secrets scattered across the map
    • Face giant threats — reel in special items that trigger epic boss encounters, pulling nearby players into co-op battles against sea monsters
    • Play freely — completely free-to-play; all core content and best gear earnable through gameplay, no mandatory purchases

    Two Studios, One Big Catch

    This collaboration brings together two of Meta Quest’s most successful and player-loved teams:

  • Habits, Hexes & Heavy Fire — Evil Moon: Unspoken Blends Boomer Shooter Action With Metroidvania Exploration!

    Habits, Hexes & Heavy Fire — Evil Moon: Unspoken Blends Boomer Shooter Action With Metroidvania Exploration!

    Nuns, guns, and a curse that only silence can break — welcome to Evil Moon: Unspoken, a bold new indie that blasts its way onto Steam with a playable demo arriving during Steam Next Fest this October.

    The Curse That Demands Silence

    Something ancient and malignant hangs over the city of Abbadox — the Malediction of the Moon. Under its baleful glow, most who speak or make a sound are swiftly claimed, twisted, or consumed. There is one exception: devoted sisters bound by vows of silence. Only they can walk the streets freely, unharmed by the evil that shrouds the cobblestones and alleys.

    Enter Siléncia — a faithful, fiercely capable nun armed with unshakable resolve and serious firepower. She doesn’t just survive the curse; she’s going to tear it apart.

    Boomer Shooter Meets Metroidvania

    This isn’t your typical run-and-gun, and it’s not your standard exploration adventure — it’s both:

    • Blistering boomer shooter combat — fast movement, punchy weapons, chunky foes, and satisfyingly loud explosions, all led by Siléncia’s relentless advance
    • Sprawling metroidvania world — interconnected districts, winding streets, sealed passages, and hidden shortcuts; unlock new abilities and firepower to reach previously unreachable areas
    • Silence as a mechanic — the curse shapes every corner of Abbadox. Learn what draws attention, what stays quiet, and when to unleash thunder
    • Dark, atmospheric mystery — uncover why the moon turned evil, what happened to the other sisters, and the terrible truth buried beneath the city

    Play It in October

    • Demo Live: During Steam Next Fest — October 19–26, 2026
    • Wishlist: Available now on Steam
    • Full Release: Coming soon — follow the store page for launch date and platform details
    • Hero: Siléncia — vow of silence, arsenal of destruction, zero tolerance for evil

    Abbadox is waiting. The moon is watching. Silence is your shield — and your gun is your voice.

  • Capyverse Odyssey Demo Is Live — Jetpacks, Chaos, and Co-Op Await!

    Capyverse Odyssey Demo Is Live — Jetpacks, Chaos, and Co-Op Await!

    Cats ruled the internet for decades — but then capybaras stole the show, and one very famous feline is absolutely furious. That’s the delightfully silly premise behind Capyverse Odyssey, the brand-new co-op action roguelite from Metazooie Studios, and its free demo is available right now.

    The Story: When Fame Goes to a Cat’s Head

    Ophelia — a cat who’s built her entire kingdom on online attention — is losing her crown. Capybaras have gone viral, and she’s not taking it well. Instead of gracefully stepping aside, she’s twisting reality itself, turning worlds into bizarre, dangerous playgrounds just to stay in the spotlight.

    Standing in her way? Capy and a crew of lovable, unlikely heroes ready to soar through surreal landscapes, battle ridiculous enemies, and save the day — all while wearing jetpacks. Because why walk when you can fly?

    Gameplay: Chaos, Co-Op, and Ridiculous Power-Ups

    Capyverse Odyssey supports 1–4 players online, so you can jump in solo or team up with friends for maximum mayhem. Here’s what you can expect:

    • Four distinct heroes — Pick from Capy (chill capybara leader), Moody (tank-like hippo), Jim (energetic dog), or Axie (supportive axolotl). Each is adorable, and each can become devastatingly powerful.
    • Jetpack-fuelled combat — You’re always airborne, always moving, and always just seconds away from something exploding. Standing still? Not an option.
    • Builds that get wildly out of hand — Clear maps, stack power-ups, equip weird and wonderful gear, and watch your character evolve from capable to completely overpowered in the best way possible.
    • Surreal, unpredictable worlds — Fight haunted slot machines, killer clowns, hostile suitcases, and bumper-car-launching bosses across corrupted casinos, nightmare carnivals, and stranger places.
    • Short, replayable runs — Easy to pick up, tough to put down. Each run mixes objectives like zone defence, elimination, and boss fights so no two playthroughs feel the same.

    Demo Out Now — Try It Free!

    The Capyverse Odyssey demo launched Friday, October 2, 2026, and is ready to play. Jump in, team up, battle through chaotic maps, test out the heroes, and get a taste of the absurdity ahead. Full release date is still to be announced — but you can wishlist and follow the game right now.
