BERLIN – April 13, 2023 – Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression, the 2D puzzle platformer exploring mental health and friendship from developer Twisted Ramble Games, arrives on Steam for PC and Mac on Friday, May 5, 2023 with a Nintendo Switch version planned following launch.

Tuli, a mole rat entrenched in colony life in the South African plains, serves as a gatherer responsible for securing the food and resources her community needs to survive. Her fulfillment comes from seeing friends and family thrive due to her hard work, made even harder by a mysterious black creature following her every move and making even the most straightforward task feel impossible.

Guide Tuli on a journey through her colony’s tunnels with Bel, her dark shadow always in tow. A manifestation of Tuli’s developing depression, Bel often works against Tuli by moving objects, eating items, and manipulating the gatherer in unpredictable ways. To lift her spirits, Tuli must run, jump, and paint her way across the landscape while learning to overcome the desires of Bel and honing them to Tuli’s advantage.

Draw objects and items, painting them into beautifully illustrated and animated locations. Learn to balance Bel’s destructive behaviors in a positive way to solve puzzles and progress through the colony. Rebel against the insecurities and depression hanging over Tuli on a heartfelt adventure presented in a wordless format that speaks to everyone, regardless of language.

“Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression has a human heart at its core,” said Kerstin Schütt, Narrative Designer, Twisted Ramble Games. “We hope Tuli’s struggles and her path to overcoming them in our debut title will resonate with players across the world and remind them hope springs eternal when it comes to Steam on May 5.

Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression will launch on Steam for Windows PC and Mac on Friday, May 5, 2023 for $19.99/19,99€. A Nintendo Switch version is also planned.

Stranded: Alien Dawn players can discover new ways to play at launch thanks to a brand-new Military Outpost scenario arriving on day one. The thrilling planet survival simulation launches in full on Tuesday April 25 across PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One.

Arriving at launch on all platforms, the exciting new scenario invites players to select up to six team members, who will be dropped in an unexplored location far from the civilised galaxy. Their mission? To establish a foothold in their unforgiving new surroundings, in order to construct an Ansible Relay and enable interstellar communications.

Throughout the scenario, players must equip and protect their team of adventurers, soldiers, and scientists, in order to defend the base from the threat of increasingly hostile alien wildlife. A new survivor, Ember Griffin, will bring ample military experience to the group as a Tactical commander – ideal for keeping the base secure while the Ansible Relay is constructed and attempts to establish connection.

The Military Outpost scenario also brings new research options, including two types of Mech which once crafted will maximise the group’s combat capabilities, plus force field barriers and gates for added protection – all of which will be available in all scenarios.

Alongside these, players can harness new technologies to improve resource availability. Fabricator matrixes can now be researched and are key to constructing new fabricating devices that can transform energy into physical matter. The food fabricator uses energy to create meals without ingredients, while the material fabricator can create raw materials such as wood, stone, metal alloys, liquid fuel, and silicon.

Stranded: Alien Dawn launches in full on April 25 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for a suggested retail price of £29.99/$34.99/€34.99.

If You Respawn In The Game, You Respawn In Real Life

WARSAW – 12 April, 2023 – GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead, the meta-narrative surrealist boomer shooter from publisher HYPERSTRANGE and developer Daev Team, brings old-school FPS sensibilities and a reality-bending narrative to Windows PC via Steam Early Access today.

Death is just the beginning for Molly. Instead of an eternal slumber, the deceased heroine is trapped in a long-forgotten arena shooter kept running by a mysterious man known only as the Wizard. Alongside an eclectic cast of fellow ghosts, she must spend her afterlife competing in arena FPS matches to sate the Wizard’s old-school gaming nostalgia. But with each victory achieved, the seams of this digitized reality begin to pull apart, exposing secrets about the Wizard, and the world each player left behind.

Combat the other ghostly players in high-octane FPS matches, including classic staples like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, and King of the Hill. Enter game lobbies and compete against Molly’s fellow undead players, wielding an expansive arsenal ranging from double-barrelled shotguns to grenade launchers and the electric railgun, Shocking Truth. Master movement to double jump across maps and slide toward safety among other chaotic gunfire techniques. Rack up win-streaks to unlock new challenges and hub locations in a gamified world.

Peel back the layers of an engrossing meta-narrative by returning to completed maps. The Wizard’s efforts to bind Molly to the game world are effective, but the ritual isn’t perfect. Scour maps for forgotten URLs and forum posts and access them via an in-game browser to glean details of what’s happening in the outside world. Search for secrets long enough, and Molly just might just find herself in parts of the game that were never meant for players to access.

Speak with fellow players to make trustworthy allies or undead enemies, opening different story paths, and just maybe, a whole new way to play… Lean into the Wizard’s twisted game world, uncover its secrets, and rewrite the rules of existence by unlocking cheats that can turn the tide of Molly’s fate. Take a breather from the story and jump into a robust arcade mode with a host of in-game options and exclusive maps for endless replayability.

“GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead combines everything that made classic arena shooters great with a mysterious story exploring the meaning of death in the modern age mixed with 90s culture,” said Mateusz Filipek, Head of Marketing, HYPERSTRANGE. “We are thrilled to bring this enigmatic experience to Steam Early Access today and can’t wait for players to showcase their FPS abilities in this mysterious meta-game world.”

GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead is now available on Windows PC via Steam Early Access for $14.99 USD. For more information, follow the official Twitter account and join the GHOSTWARE Discord server.
