Depending on the player’s choices, they will engage in battle against these formidable foes. The Devil Hunters boast immense combat prowess and will attack players using highly powerful unique skills. While the battles will be challenging, defeating them yields massive rewards.

IGF Award-Winning Narrative Adventure Perfect Tides: Station to Station Pulls Up to Nintendo Switch May 14

One of 2026’s top-rated games now specially adapted for controllers

PHILADELPHIA – April 23, 2026 – Perfect Tides: Station to Station, the coming-of-age narrative adventure from developer Three Bees’ and winner of the 2026 IGF Award for Excellence in Narrative, arrives on Nintendo Switch on Monday, May 14, 2026, as revealed during the Second Wind Showcase.

Meredith Gran, creator of the hit webcomic Octopus Pie and the award winning Perfect Tides, fills each chapter of Perfect Tides: Station to Station with unforgettable characters and authentic life. Join fledgling writer Mara Whitefish as she begins her college years in the big city, where her competing desires to become a successful writer and be loved by others propels her into a series of tumultuous experiences and encounters that shape who she becomes as a person.

Navigate Mara’s newfound independence to balance education, relationships, and personal development as she struggles to find her footing as a young adult. Talk with new friends, lovers, and mentors to deepen relationships, and use the city’s mass transit system to explore more than 60 environments. 

Keep track of names in Mara’s early 2000s’ brick-style cell phone, and collect important books and reading assignments to broaden her knowledge of new topics to discuss up with everyone she encounters. Each experience, assignment, and conversation present new opportunities for Mara to grow into the writer she dreams of becoming – or languish in mediocre obscurity.

“I wanted to make sure that players have a smooth and seamless experience playing Perfect Tides: Station to Station on Switch, so we worked with Clickpulp to get the Switch controls just right,” said Three Bees founder Meredith Gran. “They’ve done a great job, and Mara feels right at home on the Nintendo Switch.”

Perfect Tides: Station to Station launches Monday, May 14 on Nintendo Switch. It is available now on PC and Mac via Steam.

Mount Your Mecha Battle Suit and Craft Your Deck For Roguelite Combat in Husk Protocol – Playtest Available Now

Pilot your husk, build your deck and push your luck in a roguelike where healing is impossible

LONDON (April 23, 2026) – It’s time to get in the robot and fight for survival in heated mech-on-mech card battles with Husk Protocol. Publisher Fireshine Games and developer ODD SUB laid all their cards on the table at the Second Wind Showcase with the double-whammy reveal of the deck-driven mecha game and its open playtest, available nowon Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4202270/Husk_Protocol/

This isn’t your typical giant robot power fantasy, though, because there’s no way to heal in Husk Protocol, meaning you’ll need to choose the right moment to abandon your husk, and some of the rewards you’ve gained from it, or risk dying with it.

Step into the bruto-punk world of Husk Protocol, combining deckbuilding strategy with intense mech-on-mech battles presented in delightfully grungy pixel art. View the action right from the cockpit and feel every bullet and missile wear down your hulking armor. But with no way to regain any lost health, each battle could be your last.

Each mech has its own playstyle, from brawlers that benefit from taking damage to control suits that specialize in managing crowds. Don’t get too attached to your Husk, though, because abandoning your mech for a new one isn’t a matter of if, but when. 

Combine the cards and modules you salvage from one mech and combine them with the next to make a build strong enough to survive. But be warned: every move you make raises your detection meter until you’re ambushed by the city’s mainframe and have to start the boss battle early.
