Begin your adventure in the game’s updated demo, featured in Steam Next Fest June 15th-22nd.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 27 May 2026 | Kronos Interactive is excited to reveal that Echoes From Ciudadela, their debut indie narrative puzzle game, is coming to Steam on July 23rd. An updated demo will be available during the upcoming June Steam Next Fest, where players can experience the opening to this emotional adventure. 

Uncover Hidden Secrets And Honor Your Father’s Legacy
Dive into this first-person narrative as Katari, an ambitious adventurer following the trail of his deceased father. After uncovering his father’s journal, Katari is led to a sealed mountain known as Ciudadela. In his quest up the mountain, Katari’s journey is obstructed by intricate puzzles inspired by historic inventions. Use your observation skills, experimentation, and ingenuity to connect these ancient machines and solve the mystery of your father’s dying wish.  

Puzzles Protecting Centuries Of Civilization
Each puzzle is crafted to challenge your spatial awareness, timing, and creativity. Utilise Katari’s Balearic Sling, a multifunctional tool, to assist throughout your adventure. You can aim, charge, and release shots to hit distant targets, break fragile seals, and ricochet projectiles around corners. As your journey progresses, upgrades will expand the sling’s capabilities, allowing deeper interaction with the environment and the mountain’s forgotten technologies. When puzzles grow more challenging, your father’s journal serves as a crucial guide, offering clues and insights. New entries will be revealed with each puzzle you solve, helping you understand more about this lost civilization. If you’re feeling stuck, a handy ‘hint’ feature is available, as well as dialogue prompts to guide you towards your goal. 

Experience The Demo In Steam Next Fest

Experience immersive storytelling and engaging mechanics that will take you on a journey of exploration. Sifting through Karari’s late father’s home, you’ll solve a few puzzles, discover your father’s journal, and be welcomed into the world of Ciudadela. 

Gameplay Features:

Today’s update marks a big step for the game

Karlsruhe, Germany (May 27, 2026) | Nordic Trolls has released Dev Blog #4 for Under a Rock, detailing the survival game’s Creature Taming and Companions system, one of the most requested features from its 450,000+ wishlisted players across all platforms.

A new gameplay trailer accompanies the update, showcasing the game’s distinctive creatures and the full taming loop. Not to mention the myriad benefits of having a few trusty dodos at your side when you find yourself in a pinch!

Watch the new Creature Taming & Companions trailer here:

Taming Wild Creatures

Tames are wild creatures caught using a Taming Box baited with each species’ preferred item. Once tamed, they live at the player’s base, periodically shed species-specific resources, and lay eggs if kept fed and content. Tamed creatures require ongoing care: neglect them and they revert to a wild state, and not always quietly.

Companions: Friends For LifeCompanions are hatched from those eggs in a Hatchery and serve a different role. They can be ridden across the island, fight alongside the player, carry loot in an upgradeable inventory, and respond to direct commands (Stay, Follow, Attack, Stop, Mount, Dismiss) with adjustable combat stances. Unlike tames, companions cannot be permanently killed – when downed in combat, they recover on their own once danger passes.

Companions can be tiered up and have their own core stats (Mobility, Ferocity, Lifeblood, Burden, and Hardiness) that improve through use. Companions can also be customized with cute hats. Together, Taming and Companions systems create a loop that connects exploration, base-building, and combat in a personal way.  

The latest gameplay video offers the most detailed look yet at how these systems come together in practice, and also reveals several new creatures: 

• Curse Eye – a mysterious presence found in Crystal Caves 
• Giant Bee – a busy but dangerous inhabitant of forests and meadows

Classic Meets Innovation: A Deep Turn-Based Tactical RPG Redefining the Battlefield with Reality-Bending Mechanics Launches In 2026

Play the New Demo on Steam Now

PARIS – May 27, 2026 – Independent developer Nextale (formerly Smart Tale) today revealed its new title, Calame, a single-player, isometric, tactical RPG that blends deep, classic strategy with innovative reality-shifting gameplay. The game is set to launch on PC later this year, followed by a console release in 2027. Today’s debut trailer invites players into the world of Westalia, offering a first look at the game’s story, gameplay, and unique mechanics. A playable demo is live on Steam now ahead of the game’s feature in Steam Next Fest this June.

In the shadow of the King of Light, history is written by the survivors

In Westalia, renown is more than just a story – it is a weapon of mass destruction. When belief in a legend grows strong enough, it can physically reshape the battlefield or devour those who wield it. To overthrow the tyrannical King of Light, the Rebellion must learn to harness this divine force without becoming the very monsters they fight. But how do you save a kingdom when you are tearing yourselves apart?

An uneasy alliance forms the core of the Rebellion. On one side, Kenmare fights for the freedom of the people; on the other, the Panthers fight to reclaim the throne. While their alliance is a matter of sheer survival, their visions for the future are utterly irreconcilable – and you are the one chosen to lead them.

A new kind of tactics that rewrites the battlefield itself

In the finest tradition of genre classics, Calame delivers demanding, handcrafted, grid-based combat where positioning, unit facing and class synergies are the keys to survival. Players can customize their army utilizing a diverse roster of melee specialists, ranged fighters, mages and support classes to trigger devastating party combinations.

However, Calame breaks the tactical mold with its groundbreaking “Correction” feature – an innovative new strategy mechanic allowing you to rewrite and manipulate the battlefield mid-combat, turning the terrain itself into a dynamic weapon!

Beyond the battlefield, Calame features deep progression systems including RPG leveling, skill unlocks, and legendary gear collection. Your journey is heavily defined by a reactive choice system. Decisions made at camp and during narrative events directly alter the Rebellion’s political alignment, unlocking powerful passive traits that permanently reshape your squad’s playstyle, faction relationships and the unfolding story.

Key Features

• Deep Hardcrafted Tactics: Master positioning, facing, and intricate class synergies with a diverse roster of heroes.
• The “Correction” Mechanic: Use the power of the Legend to dynamically alter the battlefield terrain mid-fight.
• Impactful Choice & Alignment: Every narrative and strategic decision permanently shapes your army’s stats, relationships, and the story.
• Rich RPG Progression: Unlock powerful skills, level up your squad, and discover legendary gear between battles.
• Command an Impossible Alliance: Lead two rival factions with radically different ideologies and playstyles.

Write the Chronicle and decide what your victory will leave behind.

Play Calame‘s free demo on Steam and wishlist today!
