In this corporate venture to advance market-leading collaborative capabilities, employees will investigate software bugs that may or may not be demons, repair unstable systems together while coordinating (or panicking) over voice chat, and attempt to survive escalating environmental threats inside an immersive, ’90s-inspired digital workspace. Welcome to the team!

User Guide: About Pipes.exe

At System 6D, innovation comes first. All new employees are assigned to our most cutting-edge project, Pipes.exe, a testing ground for our revolutionary new Geometry Operating System (or gOS). By injecting your consciousness right into the gOS, we can achieve dangerously advanced technological heights. Using our proprietary hand-and-pull locomotion system, you can climb through pipes and mazes while searching for system faults within the gOS. But please remain alert: certain “bugs” may exhibit hostile behavior, disrupt the system around you, or pursue employees directly through the simulation.

Pipes.exe supports solo contributors or online co-op for up to four employees simultaneously, with a fully integrated VOIP communication system that evaluates workplace professionalism in real time. Excessive panic, shouting, or unprofessional language may affect your employment, so System 6D encourages all employees to remain calm, cooperative, and alive whenever possible.

After all, when you die in gOS, you die in real life!

Key Features

• Work solo or with friends in a surreal procedural jungle gym inspired by nostalgic ’90s screensavers
• Climb anything, including each other, with physics-driven traversal
• Dodge continually escalating environmental dangers, enemies, and systems
• Watch your language, as profanity will deduct points from your daily performance review
• Adapt to dynamic missions as you retrieve artifacts to return to the recycling bin

Playtest Onboarding Begins Today!

Employees can demonstrate their acrobatic aptitude right now in Pipes.exe’s debut Steam playtest, which features six QA missions for up to four team members to tackle together.

To celebrate the premium downloadable content’s (DLC) impending launch, Mintrocket released a brand new live action trailer featuring Dave, Cobra, Bancho, and the rest of the gang as they venture into a strange new land inhabited by some eccentric new faces.

We really hope fans of Dave the Diver enjoy the jungle adventure we’ve prepared for them.”  

“We’ve always wanted to try creating unconventional content, so we decided to reach out to The Asylum as a lot of the development team are big fans of their films. It was great to work with The Asylum to bring our characters to life in a fun new form and ignite interest in the countdown to launch”, explained Jaeho Hwang, Head of Mintrocket.

The hotly anticipated ‘In the Jungle’ expansion sees Dave venture into all new territory, as he embraces new freshwater responsibilities, meets strange yet lovable locals, connects with old friends and explores unfamiliar waters filled with new flora and fauna. This all-new story-based experience launches with around 10 hours of content and introduces daring new encounters, mechanics and mini-games not seen in the base game or previous DLCs.

Quote from the developer Joe Fender and development history:

“After launching DEVOUR, I began working on Sunset Summit in 2021 as I wanted to branch out from the horror genre. But by 2023 I was burned out and unsure if a first-person co-op climbing game would appeal to anyone. And guess what? Then PEAK launched and after its success I felt reassured that it was worth finishing Sunset Summit. I’m proud to share this mix of my favourite things: co-op games, climbing, and megastructures and I hope people will enjoy it!”

Sunset Summit is developed by brothers, Andrew and Joe Fender, who previously teamed up on the horror indie mega hit DEVOUR.

Quebec City, National Capital of the Province of Quebec, Oldest Province of the Free Lands of Canada (June 7, 2026) – Berzerk Studio just melted faces by revealing Maximum Thunderness, a shoot-em-up for 1-3 players with roguelite elements that’s brimming with full-throttle energy and bullet-dodging fun. Even better, Maximum Thunderness’ first-ever demo is available now on Steam for a limited time – surprise! Download the demo now to start kicking hordes of intergalactic alien punks off of Earth’s streets in autoscrolling firefights, ahead of the game’s full launch later this year on PC. (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4641850)

Maximum Thunderness’ reveal trailer brings bone-rattling energy with a killer theme song guaranteed to be stuck in your head for weeks. Pour a bowl of your sugariest cereal, crank your volume and prepare to watch nefarious, bandana-sporting hooligans get wrecked in the game’s first footage:

Maximum Thunderness sees Earth overrun by the Syndicate for Komplete Universal Lawless Leadership, or S.K.U.L.L., and their snarling advancement of crime culture. These lime green menaces must be stopped before achieving their ultimate goal: infiltrating the street market for hand-rolled cigarettes and pirating Earth’s best movies through residential WiFi connections. Luckily, a special unit known as Maximum Thunderness has stepped forward to protect both civilization and justice.

Choose from one of three uniquely powerful heroes and hit the streets, picking your route through branching paths of alien-swarmed stages and stopping by shops when you need a breather (or a new way to kick ass). With action inspired by the golden standards of classic shmups, Maximum Thunderness will have you weaving between streams of bullets while annihilating waves of outer space crime-doers – but don’t feel bad, they haven’t called their moms in weeks.

Maximum Thunderness utilizes roguelite elements to ensure no two runs play out the same way. Score items as you survive each stage of S.K.U.L.L.-stomping fun, snagging upgrades to your skillset or even the option to change it entirely. Combat is designed to be approachable by anyone regardless of shmup experience, while still offering the depth and challenge Earth’s sweatiest defenders crave.

June playtest announced for the most eager of knights

PARIS (June 7, 2026) – Publisher The Arcade Crew (Drop Duchy, Abyssus) and developer Runes Studio today revealed Wardens of Avalon. This medieval, Dark Arthurian ARPG adventure enlists you as a member of the newly formed Legend of the Twilight Knights for a simple but world-altering goal: restore the fallen Kingdom of Avalon.

Wardens of Avalon blends traditional survival crafting with basebuilding elements and a dynamic combat system. Draw your blade against overwhelming bosses that will take everything you have to overcome. 

With your fellow knights by your side or daring to go alone, you’ll venture into the island of Avalon, exploring and conquering complex, challenging, handcrafted dungeons and climactic battles with legendary bosses aiming to end your quest before it has truly begun. Every region you explore offers its own unique challenges, enemies and resources to collect. Each battle requires precision, stamina management and a deep understanding of enemy behavior as you battle through different, intense combat phases.

From there, you’ll return to your small keep with your newly acquired treasures to rebuild, expand and protect Avalon. Establishing new districts within your fiefdom will deepen possibilities through new buildings and workshops, adding blacksmiths, druids, herborists, apothecaries and more to your land. The corrupted Knights of the Round Table seek to make sure you never reach salvation – you must be ready to fend them off and protect your new kingdom.

Enjoy unrestricted freedom in adapting your Twilight Knight’s strengths for your playstyle and the challenge at hand, altering your build as you see fit without the restraints of a traditional character class system. Gather and craft mighty weapons or astonishing suits of armor, buff your gear with powerful seals and uphold oaths for powerful boons – whatever it takes to surmount the trials you face. Develop the intuition to masterfully dodge or parry attacks in battle while mastering the elements in Wardens of Avalon, overcoming all who dare to threaten the knights or the dawn of a new Camelot.

Gamble for disgusting ingredients, feed monstrous clients and try your best to not become the next meal!

HELL’S KITCHEN – June 7, 2026 –They hunger for food…they must be SATED! Announced at the PC Gaming Show, SATED is a gnarly new cooking and gambling-fueled roguelike from CRITICAL REFLEX and developer Forest Reges. Spin for haphazard ingredients like organs and industrial waste from a sentient refrigerator on a moving tram kitchen through hell in an attempt to feed each uniquely terrifying monster a meal that suits their taste. Watch today’s debut trailer for a first look at a bloody, grimy, shit-covered world of existential fear and exquisite culinary decadence.

SATED is a grimy, hypnotic roguelike where you descend into a dripping megastructure to cook increasingly grotesque delicacies for ever-hungrier monsters. Your only tool is a sentient, cursed fridge that works like a deranged slot machine. Spin for twitching ingredients, bet everything and pray the customer leaves satisfied…or become the meal yourself.

Key Features

• FEED THE ABOMINATION OR GET COOKED: You’re trapped in a moving tram kitchen deep inside a rotting megastructure. Every stop brings a new monster with disgusting, impossible tastes.
• THE CURSED FRIDGE IS YOUR ONLY GOD: A sentient, gambling-obsessed refrigerator that works as a mad slot machine is your only kitchen aid. Spin for twitching ingredients, pray for good RNG, and occasionally get owned by an “Inspection.”
• COOKING SO DISGUSTING IT’S BEAUTIFUL: Throw together organs, industrial waste, living insects, batteries, human eyes, and other garbage. The order you drop them in the pot matters. One wrong move and your dish can become cursed, moldy…or sentient.
• DEEP ROGUELIKE BUILDS: Stack deranged modifiers on your fridge that completely warp how you play. Turn every ingredient into gold, double your satiety, or just embrace chaos. Become the ultimate degenerate chef.
• MONSTERS THAT REMEMBER YOUR FAILURES: From angelic horrors begging for battery soup to submarine sharks craving marine delicacies, each creature has unique tastes and cruel debuffs. The deeper you go, the more personal they get.
• BRANCHING TRAM ROUTES THROUGH HELL: Choose your path on a living map. Hit shops, modifier combiners, mysterious stations and more between monster stops. Every route feels different. Every route can ruin you in a new way.

SATED is available to wishlist on Steam now, and players can register for the first upcoming public playtest today. For more information, follow CR Channel on Twitter, and join the CR Channel Discord community for the latest news, engaging discussions and more.
