  • THE FUTURE OF MATH IS MULTIPLAYER — COLLABULATOR LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 17 ON STEAM!

    THE FUTURE OF MATH IS MULTIPLAYER — COLLABULATOR LAUNCHES NOVEMBER 17 ON STEAM!

    First-time dev Mangerive unveils next-gen collaborative workspace where up to 100 people calculate together in real time

    Imagine a calculator that doesn’t just sit on your desk — it lives online, and you can invite your entire team, your class, or even a hundred strangers to punch numbers, share formulas, and solve problems side-by-side. That’s exactly what first-time developer and publisher Mangerive has built. The studio is thrilled to announce that Collabulator — the world’s first truly collaborative mathematical workspace — releases on Steam November 17, 2026.

    What Is Collabulator?

    It’s described as a “next-generation collaborative workspace for mathematical calculation,” but that barely scratches the surface:

    • 1 to 100 simultaneous users — work on the same calculation space at once
    • Real-time device sync — every keystroke, formula, and result appears instantly across every connected screen
    • Workflow optimisation — built to cut out repetitive input and amplify group efficiency
    • Full-featured calculation engine — basic arithmetic, advanced functions, persistent variables, and shared formula libraries
    • Save, share, and resume — store workspaces, send links, and pick up exactly where you left off

    Who Is It For?

    The beauty of Collabulator is that it scales to whatever you need:

    • Students & educators — solve problems together in real time; see exactly how someone arrived at an answer
    • Teams & professionals — budgets, forecasts, and shared metrics without sending spreadsheets back and forth
    • Curious minds — experiment with numbers alongside friends, no sign-up or complex setup required
    • Anyone who’s ever thought “calculators shouldn’t be lonely” — math is better together

    A Debut Born of Pure Passion

    Mangerive isn’t a big studio — it’s a brand-new name stepping into the spotlight for the very first time. And they’re genuinely, openly excited: “euphoric” is how they describe bringing their creation to the world. There’s a refreshing honesty here — a first project built with heart, launched with enthusiasm, and asking simply: does this make working together easier?

    Ready to Calculate Together?

    Wishlist Collabulator now on Steam so you don’t miss the November 17 launch. Whether you’re crunching figures, learning algebra, or just proving that two heads are better than one — and 100 are definitely louder — the future of group math is arriving soon.

    “We’re getting a multiplayer calculator before GTA VI!” — the team jokes in their announcement. And honestly? We’d take it.

  • DESCEND, BUILD, SURVIVE — INTO THE CRYPT EMERGES FROM THE DARKNESS IN FULL 1.0 RELEASE

    DESCEND, BUILD, SURVIVE — INTO THE CRYPT EMERGES FROM THE DARKNESS IN FULL 1.0 RELEASE

    Independent studio Megaglope Studios has officially launched Into the Crypt — the atmospheric first-person roguelike deckbuilder — in its complete Version 1.0 on Steam for Windows PC. Released October 29, 2026 perfectly timed for Halloween, the game invites players to descend into a procedurally generated dungeon where every card shapes your fate.

    What Lies Below — The Game

    Into the Crypt reimagines the deckbuilder by placing you directly inside the crypt:

    • First-person exploration — Walk the corridors, choose your path, and face horrors up close in a hand-painted dark fantasy world

    • Endlessly fresh depths — Three procedurally generated levels with branching paths, hidden rooms, elite encounters, and more than 75 story events offering bargains that can change your run entirely

    Three Heroes, Countless Strategies

    Pick your champion and master their unique playstyle:

    HeroCore MechanicStyle
    BerserkerBuilds Fury through attacks, unleashes devastating finishing movesAggressive, high-risk, high-reward

  • Uncover What Was Lost — Mystical II: Forgotten Knowledge Descends on Steam December 3

    Uncover What Was Lost — Mystical II: Forgotten Knowledge Descends on Steam December 3

    Forgeur Games reveals a hand-painted medieval puzzle journey — launch discount and wishlist page live now

    Hidden knowledge sleeps beneath centuries of mist and stone — and you’re the one who will wake it. Forgeur Games has officially announced Mystical II: Forgotten Knowledge, a beautifully crafted medieval puzzle adventure coming to Windows via Steam on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at 19:00 CET / 10:00 PST, priced at €4.99 / $4.99 — with a 20% launch discount during its first week on sale. The Steam page is live right now, open for wishlists.

    Five Realms, One Truth — The Story & Structure

    Mystical II unfolds across five distinct mystical realms, each with its own theme, visual style, and puzzle logic:

    • The Village — sort familiar objects in three distinct colours
    • The Castle — piece together noble families and dismantle walls of interlocking gears
    • The Crypt — match items that share a hidden purpose despite different appearances
    • The Temple — assemble the complete sacred gear of long-vanished masters
    • The Dungeon — identify 20 unique creatures by their horns, scales, and claws

    Across 50 hand-crafted stages, you’ll work with 216 individually painted objects arranged into 72 families, all set against rich, atmospheric backdrops that bring the medieval-fantasy world to life.

    How You Play — Simple to Learn, Satisfying to Master

    The core loop is elegant and compelling:

    • Objects fall from above — purchase each one for a single gold coin
    • Gather pairs and trios in your satchel to build matches
    • Reveal your finds with the magnifier before columns overflow and space runs out
    • Collect round medallions as you progress — they unlock bonuses and turn the tide in critical moments

    It’s a game of timing, pattern recognition, and careful management — calm enough to relax with, yet challenging enough to keep you engaged.

    Why It Stands Out

    Mystical II is the work of solo developer Leslie Forgeur, releasing under the Forgeur Games banner — a labour of love where every asset has been personally painted and designed. The result is a title that feels handcrafted in the best sense:

    • Accessible for all skill levels — no prior puzzle-game experience required
    • Dual-language support — interface and text in English and French
    • Approachable price point — less than the cost of a single coffee, with extra savings in launch week
    • Peaceful, immersive pace — no combat, no timers breathing down your neck — just you, the puzzles, and the mystery

    From the Streets to the Summit — The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire Hits Full 1.0 Release

    The wait is over. Publisher Tripwire Presents and developer BEF Games have officially launched The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire Version 1.0 — the full release of their open‑world criminal empire simulator — on Windows PC via Steam, October 27, 2026.

    What began in Early Access on October 31, 2025, has grown and evolved alongside its community, shaping itself into a deeper, richer, more reactive experience. Now it’s ready for everyone to rule the underworld.

    What Is The Boss Gangster: Criminal Empire?

    It’s an open‑world sandbox where you build your empire from the pavement up. No set path, no fixed story — just a living city, a handful of opportunities, and your ambition. Start as a nobody: pickpocket, drive a taxi, run a street stall, or steal cars. From there, choose your road:

    • Run businesses — Nightclubs, warehouses, grow‑ops, production rings. Hire staff, manage supply chains, automate operations, and watch profits roll in
    • Build your crew — Recruit loyalists, assign them to operations, and expand your influence across the city
    • Fight for territory — Eleven districts, rival families, and open warfare. Take control, defend your turf, and become kingpin
    • Live freely — Steal, customise, race, and dismantle vehicles. Evade police, serve time, or bribe your way out. Every action has consequences
    • Choose your origin — Start from Nothing, as a Thief, Dealer, or Club Owner. Your opening shapes your empire

    The 1.0 Upgrade — Built With the Community

    This isn’t just an Early Access exit — it’s a massive leap forward, driven directly by player feedback:

    What’s NewImpact
    Four starting scenariosTailored openings make replay fresh and fair
    Overhauled police systemPatrols, arrests, jail time, and escalating wanted levels — the city reacts smarter now
    Warehouse tycoon gameplayFull production chains, hire specialists, manage conditions — toxic environments can sicken your crew

    Weapon durability & repairsGear wears out — maintain it or face failure mid‑job

  • Roll With the Chaos — Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It. Launches on Steam

    Roll With the Chaos — Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It. Launches on Steam

    The dungeon decides your path — but you decide how to walk it.

    Publisher syn Sophia, Inc. and developer Anonymous Works have officially launched Life Is a Dungeon: Lean into It. on Steam, a fresh take on the roguelite dungeon crawler where personality, random skills, and unexpected twists make every run feel uniquely yours. Available now for Windows and macOS, the game invites players to embrace the unpredictable — and find strength in their quirks.

    Four Adventurers, Four Very Different Instincts

    You don’t just pick a class — you step into a personality. Each of the four playable adventurers pursues their own goals in the dungeon, shaping how you explore and survive:

    • Fighter — charges headlong into combat, thriving on close‑quarters battle
    • Hunter — seeks out rare foes and valuable loot, striking from the shadows
    • Blacksmith — forges and upgrades gear mid‑run, turning scavenged materials into power
    • Mage — chases magical secrets and relics, bending the dungeon’s energies to their will

    Each character has their own drives, preferred routes, and distinctive style of play — so no two runs feel the same.

    Skills With Strengths… and Flaws

    The game’s signature system equips you with powerful abilities — but they come with quirks. As you explore, you combine gear bonuses with randomly acquired skills that can be game‑changing, occasionally troublesome, or both. You don’t just build for maximum power — you learn to lean into what you’re given, adapting your strategy to the strengths and oddities of your current loadout.

    • Set your own path — choose destinations or guide directly; the dungeon unfolds according to your choices
    • Mouse‑friendly design — streamlined controls make navigation and combat intuitive
    • Full controller support — play your way, with Xbox, PlayStation, and other gamepads fully supported
    • 10 languages — English, Japanese, Simplified & Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese

    Embrace the Unexpected

    The title isn’t just a clever phrase — it’s the philosophy at the game’s core. Life (and dungeons) rarely go exactly to plan. Lean into It. invites you to roll with the surprises, build around the oddities, and discover that your “flawed” loadout might just be your favourite one.

  • Beyond the Deck — Tangleroots Unveils Starmax, the Sci-Fi Bag-Building Roguelike, Coming in 2027

    Beyond the Deck — Tangleroots Unveils Starmax, the Sci-Fi Bag-Building Roguelike, Coming in 2027

    Tangleroots, the independent studio based in Sweden, has officially pulled back the curtain on Starmax — an inventive sci-fi roguelike that reimagines the deck-building genre by trading cards for tokens and decks for bags. The game is set to arrive on Steam for Windows and macOS in 2027, with the announcement trailer and Steam store page live right now.

    A New Way to Build — From Deck to Bag

    At its core, Starmax takes the familiar blueprint of a roguelike builder and turns it inside out. Instead of shuffling cards from a deck, you draw tokens from a bag — physical, tangible resources that double as workers, fighters, cargo, and fuel. Every turn you reach in, pull out what the galaxy gives you, and make the most of it.

    • Shape your bag — boost, destroy, discover, and produce tokens to curate exactly what you draw
    • Build your base — research blueprints, construct facilities, and chain buildings into powerful engines
    • Two systems, one strategy — your bag and base don’t exist in isolation; tokens activate buildings and buildings modify tokens
    • Ship cargo to win — gather valuable resources and launch them off-planet before your defences are overwhelmed

    Three Factions, Three Distinct Styles

    No two runs feel the same — and neither do three playable starting paths:

    FactionPhilosophySignature Strength
    The FoundryIndustry & stabilityConsistent production, heavy manufacturing, sturdy defences
    The WanderersDiscovery & adaptabilityToken manipulation, high risk/high reward, exploration bonuses
    The CovenantSynergy & recursionLooping effects, repeated value, building chains that never stop

    Each faction comes with its own unique starting bag, exclusive buildings, and specialised playstyle — so whether you prefer brute force, clever combos, or calculated risk, there’s a way to play that fits.

    Planetside — Danger and Discovery Await

    Your base sits on a hostile, procedurally generated world. Explore beyond your walls and you’ll encounter:

    • Deserts, tundras, and jungles — each biome with distinct creatures, resources, and environmental hazards
    • Evolving threats — the longer you stay, the more aggressive the planet becomes; you must balance expansion with a ticking clock
    • Scavenge & ship — rare materials lie in dangerous zones; collect them, protect them, and launch cargo to secure your victory
    • Roguelike progression — unlock permanent upgrades, new tokens, and advanced blueprints that persist across every run

    From Sweden, With Strategy

    Tangleroots, known for thoughtful mechanics and clean, inviting design, is self-publishing Starmax. The team describes the game as “a builder where luck is something you engineer — you can’t control what you draw, but you absolutely can control what goes into the bag in the first place.”

    Price and system requirements have not yet been announced.

    Wishlist Today

    The Starmax Steam page is live right now — watch the trailer, explore the screenshots, and add it to your wishlist to be notified the moment it launches in 2027.

    What is Dead Stop – No Vacancy?

    Dead Stop – No Vacancy serves as the chilling debut entry in Dead Stop, a brand-new anthology series of short, bite-sized horror titles inspired by classic horror tropes and eerie, forgotten locations.

    In this first episode, players step into the worn boots of Nancy, a sharp, hard-nosed investigative reporter tracking down an arson story in the small town of Crestfall. Things take a dark turn when Nancy loses GPS signal on a desolate back road and is forced to stop for the night at the isolated Paradise Motel.

    What seems like a simple overnight stay quickly unravels into a terrifying mystery. With no road signs, no signal, and eerie occurrences hidden behind every door, Nancy soon discovers that getting a room at the Paradise Motel might be the worst mistake of her life.

    Key Game Features:

    • Retro 80s Slasher Aesthetic: Immersive visual style paying homage to classic VHS horror and retro survival games.
    • Environmental Storytelling & Puzzles: Explore creepy rooms, uncover hidden secrets, and solve mechanical contraptions tied directly to the motel’s dark history.
    • Pure Psychological Tension: Experience an atmospheric, exploration-driven horror setup that trades cheap jump scares for slow-burning dread and rich sound design.
    • Focused & Lean Gameplay: A tight, complete narrative experience—no filler, no unnecessary padding.

    Mark Your Calendars

    Whether you’re a veteran of retro survival horror or just looking for a compact, pulse-pounding thriller to beat in an evening, Dead Stop – No Vacancy promises a delightfully grim getaway.

  • From Page to Pixel: Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle Launches Full Version on Steam!

    From Page to Pixel: Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle Launches Full Version on Steam!

    If you’ve ever wished you could dive headfirst into the pages of your favourite fantasy novel and change the course of the story, your wish just came true.

    Developer Digitalis Publishing and publisher 15 Industry have officially announced that the full version of Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle will launch on PC via Steam on July 8.

    Described as a “playable book,” this stunning fantasy adventure captures the nostalgic, immersive magic of classics like The NeverEnding Story.

    What is Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle?

    Veritas Tales bridges the gap between traditional reading and interactive gaming. It is a narrative-driven experience where your choices truly shape the world around you.

    • The Vibe: High-fantasy intrigue meets a rich, atmospheric soundtrack and beautifully crafted text-based exploration.
    • The Mechanics: Think of it as a modern, digitised “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, packed with deep lore, moral dilemmas, and a dark castle waiting to reveal its secrets.
    • The Appeal: Perfect for fans of cosy fantasy, visual novels, tabletop RPGs, and anyone who loves a deeply gripping story.

    “We wanted to create an experience that feels as intimate as reading a physical book under the covers with a flashlight, but with the agency and visual atmosphere that only a video game can provide.” —

    Why You Should Play It

    In an era of fast-paced shooters and open-world grinds, Veritas Tales offers a refreshing change of pace. It invites players to slow down, absorb the prose, and weigh the consequences of their actions.
