The sensational sequel to critically renowned Wet Dreams Don’t Dry, Larry Laffer is no stranger to praise — sitting pretty at 85% positive rating on Steam. Our man’s latest adventure also won 2020’s Adventure Game Of The Year award, receiving acclaim from both new and old point-and-click adventure fans alike.

  • Meet over 40 new and old friends from Wet Dreams Don’t Dry and chat up some fresh new feminine friends

Interstellar Exploration: Endearing Open World Adventure ‘FixFox’ Launches on Steam on March 31

Ever wanted to travel through space as a human-fox hybrid? Now’s your chance!

Check out the brand new FixFox trailer here!

Embark on an adventure into the depths of space as Vix, an unlucky space mechanic, who crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden. Accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin, they travel across the planet Karamel discovering hidden stashes left by pirates, repairing friendly household appliances, and sampling tasty local delicacies.

Prague, Czech Republic – Tuesday 25th January 2022: Rendlike is excited to announce its forthcoming open-world 2D interstellar adventure FixFox will launch on Steam on March 31st, 2022.

Offering players an opportunity to sink into a universe powered by some eye-popping pixel-art, FixFox stands as a wholesome sci-fi adventure game, tracking the adventures of a human-fox hybrid Vix who has a penchant for fixing things. Unlucky as she is, Vix crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden, but sets out to fix everything she happens across whilst accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin.

It’s cute, it’s invigorating, and, most importantly, it’s engaging and entertaining. FixFox mixes a healthy dose of exploration with some bewitching puzzles that task players with everything from fixing a sentient kitchen appliance to constructing and operating giant mechs. It’s a universe designed to make you feel at home as you overcome the obstacles in your path by using anything and everything you come across to fix every fault.

“FixFox is a game powered by positivity, I’d say,” says Jaroslav Meloun, Studio Owner at Rendlike. “We wanted to offer players a challenge without feeling completely cold – an environment where every moment of exploration offers up an opportunity for fun. I was actually  inspired by No Man’s Sky when starting development and, while the end result is naturally quite different, there are beats in FixFox that definitely stir the same feelings of finding delight in discovery.”

In FixFox you will: 

  • Explore and discover: Traverse the planet on a peppy scooter, clear pathways with a hefty power loader, or simply go on a peaceful journey by foot to uncover all the landmarks on Karamel. 
  • Enjoy a peaceful sunrise: Hum along to catchy chiptunes while discovering secret locations, testing your noggin on whimsical puzzles, and finally settling down for the night next to a toasty campfire looking up at the starry sky.
  • Fix and build: Repair machines with uplifting personalities such as a passionate lawn mower using unconventional tools like coins, bandages, glowy bananas… anything really. 
  • Always something fun to do: Live out a space mechanic’s dream by constructing and operating giant mechs to help out the local robots with their peculiar problems.
  • Eat and make friends: Enjoy delicious meals the planet dwellers have to offer such as homey soups, warm rice bowls, and totally-not-expired pudding. Making a friend over a meal with hospitable robots may just reveal a vital clue to solving your next quest.
  • Fix more than machines: An estranged brother looking for his long-lost sibling, specialized artificial intelligences working through past traumas, and an ongoing feud between two planet factions are just a few of the tangled mysteries that need to be taken apart and fixed.

The development of FixFox has been funded by Joystick Ventures, an endeavor designed to partner with talented developers to build thriving studios that release visionary games.

FixFox will launch on Steam on March 31st, 2022 for  $14.99/£11.39/€12.49.

Turn-Based RPG Hero’s Hour Builds an Empire on PC March 1

THIONVILLE, France – Jan. 24, 2022 – Hero’s Hour, the turn-based strategy RPG with real-time combat where champions develop cities and armies while exploring a procedurally generated world from developer ThingOnItsOwn and publisher Goblinz Publishing, sets out on a legendary journey for Windows PC via Steam and GOG on Tuesday, March 1, 2022.

Mount a mighty stallion and explore distant lands as a courageous hero seeking to conquer dangerous foes. Explore the countryside and collect valuable resources to aid in the town’s construction and upgrade its valiant armies. Seek out mysterious obelisks for clues leading to long-hidden treasures and rare rainbows for improved luck in battle.

Scout enemy troops to assess their difficulty levels before leading the battle charge. Strategically place factions before engaging in fast-paced auto-battles. Cast more than 80 spells such as Army of Giants to turn friendly units into mighty giants, Corpse Explosion transforming the dead into bombs damaging adversary lines, and Deflect Missile to protect hero’s minions from taking damage for the next three attacks, all to boost troop’s forces and swing the tide of war. 

Each of the 20 hero classes possesses distinct abilities including Siren Song, which captivates close-by nemesis under their command, Grudge to turn the souls of dwarven units into vengeful spirits, and Shadowcasting, which temporary summons shadow-clones of foes to fight on their side. Heroes can command more than 200 units, such as fire-spitting and venomous lizardchers, powerful beastmasters capable of summoning Lynx to battle, healing friars, and more.

Overcome treacherous rivals guarding sawmills and mines, then seize their territories for daily supplies. Visit the Windmill once a week to replenish other supplies and the Docks to build a dominant fleet and be the most powerful hero on waters. Use invaluable resources to build and craft a strong community capable of upgrading armies while developing a plan for each day, as heroes have limited moves. Procedurally generated maps ensure no adventure is the same, presenting new areas to explore and buildings to conquer. 

Travel through minefields, snow-swept fields, and pastures to uncover hidden artifacts such as defense enhancers Mail Greaves and Silvered Plate, the Token of Journey to increase the hero’s daily movements, or the Galaxy Blade, a powerful weapon increasing magical and fighting skills. Each unlocked power furthers the colony’s readiness in future battles against the many perils that await.

“More than a simple tribute to the Heroes games, Hero’s Hour manages to innovate the genre by mixing real-time with turn-based gameplay,” said Johann Verbroucht, founder and manager at Goblinz Publishing. “The developers also put a lot of love into the pixel art while keeping it simple enough to open up modding to all players.”

Hero’s Hour lands on PC via Steam and GOG on Tuesday, March 1, for $17.99 USD / 14.99€. The game supports English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Europe and Latin America), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) languages.

With the Justice Online map now expanding over 2,400-square -kilometers it’s fair to say there is a lot to see and even more to do. Whether you choose to dig for gold, rescue a mountain from doom or even look to trade from town to town, one thing is certain, you’re going to need a mount to explore the seamless lands. 

Mounts are already a huge part of the Justice Online experience, with the ability to tame almost any creature in the game into a mount the options are plentiful. However, these options are growing even wider from January 20th when the next major update for Justice Online is released. That’s right, you’ll be able to fight against, tame and even ride a giant spider across snow-capped mountains, around lava pits, and through elegant rain forests.

The major content update isn’t the only announcement NetEase has for Justice Online. As of the 20th of January, the game will be playable on almost any device through cloud-based gaming via a web client. This cloud-based service does open Justice Online up to international players, however, the game currently doesn’t feature localization outside of China so current playing experiences are dependent on a player’s understanding of the Chinese language.

Over the course of 2022 NetEase have several huge updates planned for Justice Online, including new locations to expand the seamless map even further, new questions for players to continue their adventure with and new mounts fight and tame. Their largest update in 2022 may be the multi-region localization and international release of Justice Online, which would open up the martial arts experience to millions of MMORPG fans.
