RUNT brings fans of indie horror unpredictable outcomes and supernatural threats that saturate a deeply atmospheric environment
Skipclaw (Aug. 10, 2026) – Meet Runt Stayer, the 19-year-old youngest of five brothers living in a dark, violent post-apocalyptic world where humans no longer dominate the animal world. Solve the mystery of RUNT across multiple endings from Grimtaste Studios and publisher DreadXP available today on PC (Steam) for $9.99. Fans looking to pick up RUNT at launch can enjoy a 20% discount for the first two weeks (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4141350/RUNT/).
Check a look at the eerie and atmospheric launch trailer:
Someone, or something, has defaced your late-father’s pulpit in the old boarded-up church in what’s left of your small, rural town. An omen has appeared, and it’s your duty to investigate the message and solve the mystery behind a vague countdown ending on the fifth anniversary of your father’s death. Investigating the mystery isn’t an easy task, however – the apocalypse has left creatures of supernatural strength to deal with, and it’s never been easy talking to your brothers.
RUNT’s entry into the horror mystery genre of visual novels presents a new and unsettling twist on the traditional format, injecting unpredictable outcomes and supernatural threats into a mature and heavy environment, where family dynamics can be as dangerous as what lurks outside the town’s walls. With meticulously crafted aesthetics, including original photography and hand-painted art, RUNT is a unique and mature story for adventure, mystery and visual novel fans. Weaving complex and difficult family dynamics with survival politics throughout its disquieting, enthralling narrative, RUNT offers a vast depth of player choice as you forge your way to one of multiple endings via a smart multi-branch dialogue system.

Roditeli Productions partners with Running With Scissors, lines up heavyweight slate of industry talent
TUCSON, Ariz. – 10 August 2026 – Running With Scissors, creators of the (in)famous POSTAL series, in partnership with the renowned artists at Roditeli Productions, release an official digital preview for the first-ever POSTAL comic book series, giving fans a 19-page preview of the diabolical action arriving in late 2026.
With tens of millions of copies sold across the POSTAL game franchise, the greater POSTAL universe has expanded through sequels, spin-off games, a documentary film, and a movie. Now, the POSTAL Dude will make his comics debut in a series produced/co-written by Kevin Roditeli (SWAT Kats, X‑O Manowar, Bad Omens: Concrete Jungle) and co-written by Rob Cannon (Freak Snow, Anime Animay).
The POSTAL Dude makes his way through what appears to be a normal Monday until his fragile peace of mind is shattered once again – this time by an ad for a sinister dating app that sends him into a spiral of conspiracy-fueled madness.
Drawn by Artist Alex Riegel (Image Comics’ Standstill & Scumbag), featuring colors by Moreno Dinisio (Deadpool/Batman, Avengers, Power Rangers), the POSTAL comic also boasts industry heavyweights Serge LaPointe (Fantastic Four, Assassin’s Creed, WWE, Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins) on lettering and design and Chris Stevens (Marvel Artbooks) as editor.
The series will also feature covers from prominent guest artists, including:
Jim Mahfrood (Fortnite, Tank Girl, Ultimate Spider-Man, Post Malone’s Big Rig)
John McCrea (Creator of DC Comics’ Hitman, 2000AD, Batman, Deadpool)
Daniel Hillyard (Plastic, Plush, Vinyl, I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer)
Vlad Legostaev (Cover artist of Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Exquisite Corpses)
Frederik Hornung (Boom Studios’ Hello Darkness)
Drew Moss (ThunderCats, Disney’s Gargoyles)
More cover artists will be revealed.
“As a diehard POSTAL fan for over 20 years, I’ve been ecstatic about putting together a POSTAL comic,” said Kevin Roditeli, CEO and creative director at Roditeli Productions. “We’ve gathered some absolutely top-notch talent for this and worked closely with Running With Scissors’ Vince Desi and Mike J to pack as much raw POSTAL energy as possible into every panel.”
The POSTAL FIRST EVER COMIC BOOK Kickstarter campaign launches Tuesday, 11 August 2026, and fans and backers can follow the page now to get alerted when the campaign goes live.
The campaign goal is set at $100,000 USD to cover art production, printing, and manufacturing of backer rewards. Those include a Kickstarter-exclusive hardcover book with premium printing and exclusive content that will never be released outside of the crowdfunding campaign, as well as exclusive new POSTAL merchandise including T-shirts, pins, and art prints.

August 10, 2026 | Brocap Studio is excited to announce that Hubert, winner of Best Game at Game Access 2026, is coming to PlayStation 5. Play as a fluffy, overconfident shepherd dog with a nose for trouble. The game is also coming to Steam, where a free demo is live now.
Take a look at the PlayStation 5 announcement trailer below.
Meet Hubert, a fluffy, overconfident shepherd dog with a nose for trouble. He sees the world through movement, scent, instinct, and curiosity. You experience everything through his eyes.
By his side is Lily, a sharp-witted kid who just convinced the grumpiest farmer in the valley to give them both a job. Their mission is to herd dozens of mildly chaotic sheep across the pastures. Easy, right?
Not when the sheep have the attention span of a goldfish, and the farmer has zero patience. Beyond the farm, in the uncharted northern wilderness, the land grows quieter and stranger. Something is out there. Not just a threat, but a call that Hubert understands in ways he cannot fully explain.
A tale of friendship, bravery, and barking at sheep. Warning: This game contains mild mischief, stubborn sheep, and a dog who thinks he’s the main character. He might be right.

Buzzin’ Games launches The Damned Files character reveal series with a first look at Mike Dowd, one of four damned souls forced to play a horrifying game of Rock, Paper, Scissors where every defeat comes at a terrible cost.
London, United Kingdom – August 10, 2026. Indie developer Buzzin’ Games has opened The Damned Files, a new character reveal series for its upcoming psychological horror tabletop strategy game Rock, Paper, Severed, a dark, horror-infused reimagining of the classic hand game Rock, Paper, Scissors, where every lost throw costs a finger. The first reveal introduces players to Michael “Mike” Dowd, one of four playable characters whose tragic past has led him into the clutches of The Old Sire, an ancient entity offering sinners one final chance at redemption through a deadly game where every decision carries a horrifying price.
Inspired by the timeless hand game everyone knows, Rock, Paper, Severed transforms Rock, Paper, Scissors into a brutal contest of strategy, nerve and survival. Every game begins with the same familiar rules, but each defeat brings devastating consequences. Lose a throw and another finger is severed. Outplay your opponent, make clever use of strategic items, and fight to survive long enough to earn a chance at redemption.
THE DAMNED FILES // 001 MICHAEL “MIKE” DOWD
The first soul summoned to The Old Sire’s table is Michael “Mike” Dowd.
Once an idealistic police officer, Mike believed justice was worth fighting for. As the first Black officer recruited into Kent Police’s Margate division, he entered the force determined to make a difference. Instead, he found corruption, prejudice and impossible choices that would ultimately destroy everything he cared about. Scarred by the consequences of a single terrible decision and estranged from the family he once fought to protect, Mike now survives as a struggling private investigator, taking on whatever work comes through the door while searching for a redemption he fears he no longer deserves.
Known as Gauze in Rock, Paper, Severed, Mike serves as the player’s introduction to The Old Sire’s terrifying world. His journey begins with what appears to be a routine missing persons case involving psychiatrist Dr. Amy Chen, but as the deadly trials unfold, players gradually uncover the choices, tragedies and hidden connections that brought Mike, and three other damned souls, to The Old Sire’s table.
About Rock, Paper, Severed
Rock, Paper, Severed is a psychological horror tabletop strategy game that transforms the familiar hand game of Rock, Paper, Scissors into a brutal fight for survival.
Inspired by British folklore and the forgotten tradition of Sin-Eating, players are summoned before The Old Sire, an ancient entity that offers sinners one final opportunity for absolution through a series of horrifying trials. Every throw carries consequences. Every defeat comes at a terrible cost. Lose a round, lose a finger.
Throughout the single-player experience, players face The Old Sire directly as the stories of four damaged souls gradually unfold through dialogue and their encounters around the table, revealing the choices, tragedies and sins that brought each of them to this moment. Those willing to look deeper will uncover a richly woven narrative hidden throughout the experience.
Beyond the single-player campaign, multiplayer casts The Old Sire as the sinister master of ceremonies, presiding over deadly contests where strategy, deception and survival become just as important as the throw of a hand.
Blending psychological horror, supernatural folklore, strategic gameplay and a deadly reimagining of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Rock, Paper, Severed asks one chilling question:
How much of yourself would you sacrifice for redemption?
NEXT FILE: Dr. Amy Chen – Opening soon

Four Damned Souls: Discover the stories of four unique playable characters, each carrying their own burden of guilt. As the trials unfold, hidden conversations and encounters gradually reveal the events that brought them before The Old Sire.
Face The Old Sire: Confront an ancient entity inspired by Britain’s forgotten Sin-Eater folklore. In the single-player experience, face The Old Sire directly as he judges every move you make. In multiplayer, he becomes the sinister master of ceremonies, presiding over every deadly contest.

SAVAGE prison horror nightmare where nothing is what it seems
Indie developers Gritty Piggy and publisher Assemble Entertainment are excited to unveil Sin or Suffer, an insidious story-rich survival-horror JRPG announced today on Steam PC. Enter a brutal medieval prison overrun by violent convicts, shocking corruption and something far more disturbing beneath its walls.
After a violent riot, the guards are gone and the surviving inmates have taken over. You’ll play as a broken prisoner forced to descend into the depths and uncover the truth behind Sin, a mysterious unseen force that twists bodies, minds and reality itself.

Every encounter shapes the outcome of your story
Explore five interconnected areas with multiple routes through the prison

The deeper you descend, the more the story turns from prison horror into something stranger, more grotesque and far more personal.
The sinner takes it all
Sin or Suffer is the biggest project to date from Gritty Piggy, who cut their teeth on websites and fantasy novels before deciding to tackle a larger scale project, fuelled by their mutual love of horror media. They’ve crafted a twisted world built around discovery and consequences, where understanding the world can be just as dangerous as surviving it.
