BEIJING, CHINA – APRIL 21, 2022 – Developer eBrain Studio has announced that a free playable demo for the roguelite action-thriller LOOPMANCER is now available on PC via Steam. Enter a megacity underworld in the Far East as Xiang Zixu, a private detective investigating the vanishing of a famous reporter. Following a crucial lead, he is murdered, only to awaken in his bed. Xiang discovers that time resets when he dies, bringing him back to his apartment. What the hell is going on!?

Watch LOOPMANCER’s new gameplay

Kill, die and enact revenge in an infinite cycle to uncover the connections between your case, your murder and your limitless resurrection. Slice bionic cyborgs, deformed mutants, and street level gangsters. Unlock cybernetic enhancements, high-tech guns, and explosive abilities to perfect the art of slow-motion annihilation.

“You’re just a petty detective!” says Wei Long, LOOPMANCER’s flamboyant mob boss, when first confronting Xiang. “Put the word out. Whoever kills this guy gets a 500K reward!!”

In LOOPMANCER, players will explore seven massive cyberpunk levels, each with its own unique aesthetic and design. Avoid hidden traps and solve clever puzzles across bustling streets and chilling ghost towns. Every death is an opportunity to revisit one of these intricately designed levels – with different, randomly generated layouts to feed your adrenaline rush.

Make choices and investigate side paths in each level to unlock seven unique endings. Discover how each decision you make affects Xiang and the twisted lives of the people you meet. Do you have what it takes to become a LOOPMANCER?

LOOPMANCER’s free playable demo is now available on Steam. The game will launch on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 1H 2022.

The demo integrates NVIDIA DLSS for performance boosting. NVIDIA DLSS is an AI super resolution algorithm accelerated by Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs. It allows the game to render at 1080p, improving framerates. It also uses AI and game engine data to deliver the image quality of a native 4K output.

The full version of LOOPMANCER will include RT. Please stay tuned for more updates.

Harness the power of nature to overgrow dioramas of urban decay in meditative sandbox experience

Gateshead, United Kingdom – April 21st, 2022 – Coatsink and Noio are extremely excited to announce that their chill title about using the power of nature to reclaim beautiful lo-fi scenes of urban decay, Cloud Gardens, is on its way to Nintendo Switch. The game will be released for Switch on 12th May 2022 and priced at £13.99 / $17.99 USD / €14.99 / ¥1840 SRP. 

In this meditative title that embraces your creativity, create small plant-covered dioramas of brutalism and beauty by planting seeds, repurposing hundreds of discarded objects and creating unique structures for nature to reclaim.

Dive into a relaxing sandbox mode with no goals, or take on a multi-chapter campaign where the task is to strike a balance between the natural and the manufactured. Adding objects will encourage lush vegetation to grow, but each object must be covered in foliage in order to proceed.

Cloud Gardens hovers somewhere in between a sandbox toy and a game with challenges. Partly a gardening simulator, partly a dystopian landscape builder, and partly a puzzle game that is both satisfying and without frustration. It is a relaxing experience that takes you from one scene to the next while encouraging creativity and coming up with your own solutions.

Explore mysterious depths and defend your dome against monsters on PC this fall

STOCKHOLM – April 21, 2022 – Gold-digging indie publisher Raw Fury and German dome-engineering developer couple bippinbits are pleased to announce Dome Keeper. This new rogue-lite mining game is based on the successful Ludum Dare Game Jam entry Dome Romantik, improved upon with a new name and enhanced graphics with even more detailed domes and monsters. Dome Keeper is expected to arrive this fall on Windows PC via Steam.

Dome Keeper is a unique rogue-lite mining game in which players battle increasingly powerful waves of shadowy monsters. Between waves, players can mine for resources in the depths beneath to upgrade their dome’s defenses.

“As long-term fans of Raw Fury games, we’re happy to have found the right publisher for Dome Keeper with them,” says bippinbits’ René Habermann. “The team fully understands us, our vision of Dome Keeper, and gives us all the creative freedom and support we need to develop the game.”

“It’s amazing to experience the incredible talent of bippinbits and help them to achieve their visions. The numerous creative Ludum Dare Game Jam submissions speak for themselves and Dome Keeper – for me – marks the pinnacle of creativity from the developer couple so far. We can’t wait to unleash the monsters on players’ domes this autumn,” said Jónas Antonsson, CEO of Raw Fury.

Dome Keeper Features:

• Engaging & Motivating: Easy-to-learn gameplay with many ways to customize your play. Unlock new domes, characters and gadgets as you uncover the mysterious depths beneath your dome.
• Meaningful Upgrades: A straightforward tech tree will challenge you with tough decisions that have a direct impact on your play style and success.
• Deeper & Deeper: Dig down into cave systems between attack waves, searching for valuable resources – but beware, the next wave is on its way!
• Creatively Deadly: Monsters will surprise you with creative tricks to stop your mining operation.

One by one, beloved community members of the quiet Orchard village are stripped away by a mysterious phenomenon. Desperate for aid, the remaining people call to their ancestors to fulfill the legendary prophecy of a savior known as the Bellwielder. Rise as the rumored hero and set off on a noble mission to piece together a crumbling society. 

Wield the ancient and powerful Audros Bell venturing deep into the treacherous dungeons beneath the town. Unhindered by the snarls echoing within the walls, solve complex puzzles throughout the derelict caves. Leap into action, knocking back fiendish mobs into the environment and each other. Hurl elemental abilities to crush enemies, weaken beastly bosses, and release the crystallized souls of lost townsfolk and forgotten heroes.

Rejoice in the sound of tears and applause as Orchard’s chefs, farmers, herbalists, and others are reunited with their friends and families. Rebuild the village one member at a time and collect pieces of ancient technology, called Spires, to enhance combat skills. Prepare satiating recipes to upgrade stats and build relationships throughout town to uncover the truth behind Orchard’s fall from grace from the Anuchardian continent at large.

“Aunchard’s classic art style should take anyone back to the good old days of waking up on a Saturday morning to forge through PSX-era dungeons,” said Rico Lemba, Designer, stellarNull. “I wanted to create a project combining dynamic combat interactions with a lasting and visible impact on the narrative!.”
