Inaka Project

developed by Inasa Fujio  |  Platforms: TBA

A story driven exploration and adventure game set in the Japanese countryside and revolving around a college student who has decided to work as a postman over summer break.  Other than enjoying the beautiful scenery you will also be traveling around the area delivering letters, exploring hidden areas, as well as interacting with and learning the stories of the local residents, spirits, and yokai creatures.

This is still early in development and for now the best way to stay updated is to follow Inasa Fujio on Twitter where you can find a few more videos to tease your curiosity. :)

Baba Is You

developed by Hempuli Oy  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Switch

“A puzzle game where the rules you have to follow are present as blocks you can interact with. By manipulating them, you can change how the game works, repurpose things you find in the levels and cause surprising interactions! With some simple block-pushing you can turn yourself into a rock, turn patches of grass into dangerously hot obstacles, and even change the goal you need to reach to something entirely different.”

“The game has over 200 levels that experiment with the game’s mechanics in a multitude of ways, requiring the player to understand and manipulate the rules of the game and figure out devious ways to make the objects in the game world interact.”
