A strategy game where you build up a doomed empire while exploring the world and managing the populace by distributing coins.  Coming to PC and mobile.

The game is a sequel to the flash game Kingdom, with improved art and mechanics, and a wider world to explore.  You can play the original in your browser here.

You can take a look at how the water was made here.

“A wise King knows that his kingdom will fall.
A brave King does not despair.
A great King knows that his riches can rule,
But spends every penny with care.”

Lullaby for an Electric Toaster 

developed by Andrew Wang.

“Guide a flaming-toast-launching electric toaster across a dark and surrealistic kitchen dreamscape in this 3D horror/action game.” 

Made in one week for the

#LetsCookJam.  You can see more of Andrew Wang’s games on his website here.  I also made a post about Lord of the Aisle previously (a game about an angry old man in a supermarket aisle).

“A single-player co-op stealth puzzle game. You control both sides at the same time. It’s a mix between tricky puzzles and brain-twisting left-right hand coordination.”

The Town of Light

developed by Lka.it.

A psychological horror inspired by real events that took place in a psychiatric hospital in Italy, with stories based on testimony from the patients and employees who passed through there.

“I was sixteen, and I was scared. I was always scared. They told me that they would bring me to a place where the fear would fade away.  That is where I stopped living.  I’ve tried to explain what was happening to me. 

I was tied to my bed for days and days, abandoned to my nightmares, silenced only by an injection.  My fear was no longer fear, it was madness, and when you are mad life as you know it ceases to exist.

Screams.  Desperation.  Loneliness.  

Some women groaned, convinced they were giving birth…and they gave birth to the invisible children of the madness.”

Curious Expedition

developed by Maschinen-Mensch

curious expedition curious expedition 2 curious expedition 4 curious expedition 6

19th century roguelike exploration.  Select a group of unstable travellers…I mean intrepid explorers, and attempt to complete an expedition to find a golden pyramid before everyone goes insane, kills each other, or is killed by everything else.

It’s an HTML 5 game that you can play in your browser, but is also coming to Steam.  You can pay to get access to the alpha, and get the full game on release (similar to Steam early access).  It was actually free to play over the weekend, which I discovered on Monday.  Boo. :(

You can check out a nice let’s play by Brendan McLeod which gives a good look at how the game plays.

A shmup and roguelike mashup set in space.  I tried to think of a further description, but what more do you need? ;)  Coming to Xbox One and PC.
