Hold the Line Against Relentless Enemies – Watch the Trailer and Jump into the Action Now 

Bristol, UK – February 5, 2026 –  Publisher Yogscast Games and Gamersky are pleased to announce that a playable demo for The Gate Must Stand is available now on Steam. The Gate Must Stand reimagines tower defense games through a survivor-like lens, thrusting players into the centre of the action. As the city’s last line, warriors must recruit followers, unlock upgrades, and synergise skills to hold the line against hordes of apocalyptic bosses.

This roguelike centres on a single objective: ensure the gate never falls. Players must defend one critical chokepoint against escalating enemy attacks, deploying strategies that demand teamwork, collective decision-making, and carefully chosen upgrades. Weapons selected, decisions made, and strategies deployed affect each run, forcing players to adapt amid an action-packed environment.  

“The Gate Must Stand delivers a unique take on the roguelike genre, and we just couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to bring it to our legion of players,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games. “We’re excited to see how players respond to the unique mechanics of tight-combat fighting and the result of high-stakes decision making when the pressure mounts.” 

The demo allows players to experience the game’s mechanics and systems, and to get a sense of what awaits them beyond the gate. Each run has the tension of a final boss battle, with one wrong strategy or failed attack leading to permadeath. Victory depends on more than pure skill; calculated decisions while choosing the right weapons, modifiers, and upgrades make every attempt feel distinct and active.   

Keep up-to-date with all of the latest news on The Gate Must Stand by visiting the Yogscast Games website.

Psychological mystery adventure makes human bodies your most limited resource

Bath, UK – (February 5, 2026) Weekend Games is excited to announce it is publishing the sci-fi horror typing game Remote Control, coming to PC via Steam in 2026. Developed by Brighton-based studio, Canteen Games, Remote Control is an unsettling experience that pulls players between the corporate world of the TV show Severance and the thrilling tension of Alien: Isolation.

Watch the Remote Control announcement trailer:

A deep-space spacecraft has gone mysteriously silent. The crew is dead, the incident is undocumented and the only way to uncover the truth is by using a series of human “proxies” controlled by you via a terminal in a far-off (and safe) location. 

You’ll issue typed commands through the terminal interface, forcibly directing proxies to navigate the ship, investigate objects, and discover the events that led to disaster. Humans have flaws, though, with fear, a desire to live, and being butter-fingers all getting in the way. However, they are unable to completely resist your commands, even if there is sometimes a little pushback…

Drawing inspiration from Alien: Isolation’s sustained dread and the dehumanizing psychological horror of Severance, Remote Control blends typing-driven gameplay that feels reminiscent of classic text-based adventure games, merged with recent hits like Mouthwashing and No, I’m Not a Human. The game is anticipated to be released later this year.

Key Features:

• How many people does it take to investigate an infested space ship? 12, apparently: You’ll get 12 attempts to discover the truth. Each vessel (human) has unique qualities and traits which can aid or abet your mission. Just remember, their death is permanent.
• Dark and immersive sci-fi: Step into a classic space horror. Expect a spacecraft drifting through space, a lack of power supply and lighting, and plenty of blood smeared on walls.
• QWERTY your way to the truth: Every input is via your keyboard as you’ll type “move left” or “turn around” to direct vessels around the ship. 
• It’s just an office job: All the death and gore getting a little much? Take a break, step away from the desk and go hang out by the water cooler. There’s definitely nothing unnerving going around the office, either… right?
• Psychological and moral tension: Force compliance from unruly vessels, navigate resistance and try not to get too annoyed when Eugene’s crumby fingers struggle to complete an input on the control panel.

Remote Control will be released on PC in 2026 and you can wishlist it now on Steam.

Just in time for the Super Bowl

Berlin, Germany – February 5, 2026 | Indie developer Indifferent Penguin is proud to announce that American Football-infused top-down action game Tackle for Loss is out now on PC, just in time for the Super Bowl!

Tackle for Loss sees players take on the role of a former American football pro whose daughter has been kidnapped by the seedy criminal underworld. Inspired by the frenetic action of Hotline Miami and Taken, players will battle their way through thugs and goons using the skills they picked up on the gridiron.

Tackle for Loss uses a fast and brutal combat system influenced by American football’s four-down rule: limited moves, no room for error, keep moving forward at all costs. With only four offensive actions available on each floor of these multi-storey building stages, players will need to study the layout of the rooms ahead of them, plan their route, and then commit to the drive. 

Every character in the game, including the main protagonist, will die in one hit, making every floor a high-stakes puzzle of speed and accuracy. Rapid restarts allow players to immediately get back into the action, honing their strategy for the ultimate run.

“I created Tackle for Loss because I love fast, aggressive action games that feel incredible in the hands,” said developer Daniel Wichterich. “I wanted to create a game that captured the raw energy and violence of American football, but from a completely different angle. I’m so excited for people to be able to play it today.”

Tackle for Loss is out now on PC, and can be purchased on Steam. 

About Indifferent Penguin

Indifferent Penguin is a German independent game studio based in Berlin and founded by solo game developer Daniel Wichterich. Its debut title, Tackle for Loss, is supported by funding from the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, a German film and media funding agency, and will launch in February 2026.
