The winner of the “Game Concept Challenge 2013” and “IndieCade Select 2016” invites you into its floating world full of Mysteries

Hamburg, August 29th, 2019 – Daedalic Entertainment, in collaboration with Swedish indie developer On The Outskirts, is proud to announce that AER – Memories of Old is now available on Nintendo Switch.

AER – Memories of Old is now available on Nintendo Switch.

In AER – Memories of Old the player takes on the role of the young nomad girl Auk, who, in the shape of a magnificent bird, explores the floating islands of her world. After the vanishing of the Gods, which left only a few nomad tribes behind, Auk faces challenges that have not been overcome for generations. The abandoned ruins of a long-forgotten civilisation amidst a fragmented and slowly decaying world are portrayed in a contrastingly bright and colourful low-poly style. But the peaceful look is deceiving; every step leads closer to the end of the world.

Features:

·  Explore the world freely by turning into a bird at any time
·  As the game’s story unfolds, ancient secrets are revealed and great discoveries are made
·  A pilgrimage full of mysteries, puzzles and temples
·  A focus on atmosphere and aesthetics with vivid, low-poly graphics

Previously available on PC, Mac, Linux, Playstation 4 and Xbox One, AER – Memories of Old is available today via the Nintendo eShop.

ANNOUNCING THE FINAL GAME IN THE JACKBOX PARTY PACK 6: ROLE MODELS

Label your friends and find out who you really are when the best party game collection yet hits consoles, PC and digital platforms this fall!

CHICAGO — Aug. 28, 2019 — Just who do you think you are? What are you, some kind of hotshot? Well let me ask you this, YOUR MAJESTY: do you have any idea what people REALLY think of you? Why not find out with a nice friendly game of Role Models, the final title in The Jackbox Party Pack 6, coming this fall from Jackbox Games!

In Role Models, you and your friends become guinea pigs for a mad scientist studying human nature. Just choose a category, like Alice in Wonderland, then match each of the players (including yourself) to a “role” within that category. For example, your carefree buddy might be the Mad Hatter, and the creepy weirdo of the group might be the Cheshire Cat. If your test subjects are split on who’s who, tied players perform a tiebreaker experiment tailored specifically to that role to determine who truly deserves the title.

If you don’t know anything about these characters, don’t worry. There are plenty of categories to choose from, including ones that have nothing to do with pop culture, like “Excuses for Being Late,” “Deepest Fears,” and “Reasons Why You Crapped Your Pants.”

As you earn more roles, Role Models begins to hone in on which characteristics fit you best: if different categories peg you as both a show-off and an introvert, you’ll face a challenge, and your fellow lab rats will make the final call. The game awards you with delicious “science pellets” for voting with the majority and winning tiebreaker games, but the real payoff is seeing your final master role, made up of all the previous roles you’ve earned in the experiment. If you got Captain America, Pikachu, and “slept through my alarm,” you might be crowned the “Lazy Electric Patriot” of your friend group. And once it’s official, there’s no escaping it. That’s science, baby!

Role Models supports 3-6 players and an audience of thousands in the “control group.” It’s also Jackbox’s first game to support player selfies as avatars! This long-awaited feature is totally optional, and streamers worried about abuse can censor individual photos or turn the feature off entirely.

The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is expected to launch this fall on PC, consoles and major digital platforms. Other games already announced in The Jackbox Party Pack 6 include Trivia Murder Party 2, Dictionarium, Joke Boat, and Push The Button. Follow Jackbox Games on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for new playthroughs of Role Models.

The controversial early access comedic sim reaches a new milestone as popularity soars.

Eek! Games announced today that its celebrated open-ended simulation game has now sold over 500,000 copies while in early access since June 2017. House Party has exploded in popularity thanks to a steady stream of updates, new content expansions, a dedicated following on YouTube, and a fearless approach to sex and comedy. The team over at Bammsters will be hosting a live Q & A interview with Bobby Ricci, Ceo, and Founder of Eek! Games, this Thursday, August 29th at 7 pm PDT. Members of the press and public may RSVP on their facebook event page and tune-in live here.

The team recently dropped the new trailer!

Why is everyone buzzing about House Party? There’s no better way to find out than asking the fans themselves. Over 4,000 players have written Steam reviews for the game which has contributed towards 95% user review ratings at times. Steam user Legious calls it “a really fun social interaction puzzle solving” game, while Steam user WIN says, “I hope to see more of this game, more like this game, and more people voting with their money.”

“I’m ecstatic and humbled by the huge player base this game has grown since I started on my silly little project.  I never thought it would turn into anything this huge! Myself and my team are dedicated to polishing up this game and bringing it out of early access and keeping a close ear on all of the overwhelmingly positive player feedback and suggestions!” -Bobby Ricci, the CEO and Founder of Eek! Games 

House Party’s reach continues to grow beyond the 500,000 players who have already purchased it thanks to continued interest from some of YouTube’s biggest video creators. Tastemakers such as Jacksepticeye, MattShea, and PewDiePie have introduced millions of viewers to the goofy, sexy fun of Eek’s silly, AI-driven simulation. YouTuber LetyDoesStuff was even added as an in-game model in the most recent update. 

Danny and Arin from the Game Grumps channel won a contest where the winners would be made into 3D models and inserted into the game. The Grumps team won by a landslide and Eek! Games are currently collaborating to prepare their likeness, story, and voice acting into the House Party game.

Best of all, the party is only just getting started. Eek! Games has major plans for House Partythroughout the rest of 2019 and beyond. This includes more updates with bug fixes and new content, fan-requested female POV storylines, and more. House Party will finally exit early access sometime in 2020, so even more exciting news is coming.

The game’s early access launch was an overnight sensation, selling over 30,000 copies in the first few weeks alone and continued to 300,000 total sales during the first year. Since the early access launch, the game has now fully matured as anopen-ended social simulator mixed with a point-and-click adventure inspired by classic comedies of the ’90s. Every decision changes your story, and every character has something to reveal.  As of August 2019, the game met an exciting milestone, being sold to over half a million players worldwide.
