A 3D procedural puzzle platformer releasing for PS4 in August.

“Bound transports you into a beautiful, fantastical world that exists in the mind of a woman revisiting the memories of her childhood. You’ll use dance moves to traverse vast environments filled with platforming challenges. As the game progresses, the introspective story unfolds through powerful metaphor and imagery, adding emotional depth to the protagonist’s journey.”

[gfycat data_id="YearlySecondhandAsianconstablebutterfly"][gfycat data_id="MenacingPoisedCatfish"][gfycat data_id="IndolentBowedHarborporpoise"]

“A booze em’ up about waifus, technology, and post-dystopia life. Its main mechanic consists in preparing drinks using the available ingredients, but rather than just following an order to advance through the story, it’s up to the player to decide what kind of drink to serve.

“In short, this is about serving the right drink, and you achieve this by paying attention to your client’s rants. Rewards include different events, dialogues and endings.”

“A third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a young couple dealing with a tragedy in theirs.

“Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps results in the understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the young couple’s life as they too become intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.”

INSIGHT

developed by InsightFPS |  Platforms: Windows, Linux

[gfycat data_id="CompleteUncommonGaur"][gfycat data_id="AmbitiousSoupyArieltoucan"][gfycat data_id="UnrealisticRepulsiveEskimodog"]

“A casual and competitive arena FPS with a unique gameplay concept and “parkour” based movement system.

“The unique concept is based on sound; Any time a player emits a sound (this includes landing from a jump, shooting weapons and taking damage) they become briefly visible to all players throughout the level, through all walls.

“This means that players must utilize the advanced movement mechanics of the game if they wish to remain silent and do not want to give away their position.”

developed by Digital Sun Games  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux

[gfycat data_id="BrownTimelyCaecilian"][gfycat data_id="SadShimmeringAustralianfreshwatercrocodile"][gfycat data_id="AdeptWickedBettong"]

“An action RPG game with rogue-lite elements about Will, an adventurous shopkeeper, that secretly dreams of becoming a hero.  To earn the daily bread, he needs to venture into the dungeons near his town, defeat strange enemies and obtain loot to be sold at his shop.

“Wisely managing the gold from those sales is the only way he’ll get strong enough to risk into deeper gates and, maybe, open the sealed one. Moonlighter has endless randomly generated dungeons, a myriad of cool and expensive items, many weapons, dozens of weird enemies, five incredibly tough bosses and gold… tonnes of gold!”

“You start as a boy in a rural village, looking to escape your nation. Along the way, you face family death, fall into depression, and interact with others. Helping someone with an item lets you discover their unique story. With your and their stories combined, you discover the full extent of propaganda, poverty, and tyranny that dominates your nation.”

“Suppressed’s goal is to entertain while educating. Those who play will hopefully be more aware of what is happening in North Korea.”
