GLITCHED

developed by En House Studios | Platforms: Windows, Mac

[gfycat data_id="CoordinatedCanineGuineapig"][gfycat data_id="AptNaughtyAsianlion"][gfycat data_id="AffectionateAllFlicker"]

“A mystery and exploration RPG coming to PC and Mac. The game features traditional turn based combat, with a little bit of spice, but will primarily focus on the story and how you change it. This will be done through the ESSENCE SYSTEM, which will track a player’s personality and morality. After a glitch appears in the world of SOREN, our unexpected hero, Gus, will become aware of you- the player. Experience fourth wall breaking shenanigans while making decisions that will shape this world.”

Animated concept art for an unannounced game

being developed by Little Wolf Studio

I’m a big fan of concept art and as you know I also really like gifs, so the combination of the two is right up my alley. The devs made the gifs meaning I got a day off to go to the beach (wee!). Unfortunately there’s not too much information on what the game is yet, but I thought the pretties were enough to share by themselves. You can visit the website here for more info, or follow the studio on Twitter to keep updated on the progress and to listen out for the official announcement.

Somehow I forgot to add the gifs for Sofus. >.< Sorry! Fixed now.

Sofus and the Moonmachine

created by Lars Malte Burup Jelshoj | Platform: iOS

[gfycat data_id="SoftScarceChihuahua"][gfycat data_id="OrnateMixedDorking"][gfycat data_id="SaltyPointlessHornet"]

An interactive book that just released on iOS. I think the art is great and I also like merging of mediums. =)

“An adventurous tale of friendship and crazy robots. Explore the magical forest planet together with Sofus, the little gnorf.

“Build a spaceship and help Sofus on his dangerous journey to the Moonmachine. Escape the prison of the robot king and survive the Rusty Sea. Find your way through the pipe labyrinth together with the one-wheeled robot Zum-Zum. Repair the heart of the Moonmachine so daylight will shine once more.”

Beacon

developed by MONOTHETIC | Platforms: Windows, Mac, Xbox One

[gfycat data_id="WebbedCloudyGoldfinch"][gfycat data_id="WatchfulIllegalFieldmouse"][gfycat data_id="OilyLividGallowaycow"]

“A sci-fi themed Action Roguelike. Played as a top-down shooter, you must fight your way through a randomly generated hostile world, all the while trying to locate your emergency distress beacon and escape the planet into which your ship has crashed.

“While you’re making your way through these areas you’ll not only find weapons and items to help you; You’ll also be collecting DNA from the enemies you defeat. Then, when you inevitably die, you’re given the opportunity to combine the DNA you’ve collected to your own, granting you different stats and potentially gameplay-altering physical mutations for your next run.”

Beacon art and music

“You step out of the confined pod, disorientated and blinking. As your vision clears, a desolate view forms to greet you. The burning wreckage of your ship – your home – lies scattered cruelly across the surface of an alien landscape.

“You must have come down hard. Picking your way through the remains of the ship, you look for answers, a weapon, a radio. Instead, you find a body. Your body.”

Thought the additional art and soundtrack were pretty great. Have a gander. :)

“A minimalistic, super intense action game starring squares for 1 to 4 players. It features a delightful control that allows players to move around the scenario in a super fluid way allowing them to beat all the challenging scenarios that its cooperative mode offers.”

Keep Calm

developed by Adam Carriere | Platforms: Windows, Mac

Something a little different today. This is a free short text adventure/interactive fiction that’s about 15 minutes long. It’s got great writing and is probably better experienced without me telling you what it is. Unfortunately it’s kind of hard to show what it is as well, since it’s just text. So to spoil it just a teensy bit if you have any interest in games about mental health, definitely give it a try. If you don’t, it’s still a pretty interesting experience. =)
