Kaiju Cleaner Simulator, a gorily fun and wild cooperative cleaning simulator, presents a brand-new monstrous trailer!

16th of October, 2025, Spain. Today, indie developer One More Time has unveiled Kaiju Cleaner Simulator, a hilarious cooperative simulator for 1-4 players that puts you in the shoes of a professional cleanup team tasked with restoring cities after the fiercest battles with giant monsters. The game offers a brutal first-person experience full of dissection, heavy machinery operation, barrels of laughs, and toxin removal. Each mission demands precision and teamwork as you dissect colossal monster bodies, carefully extracting valuable organs and materials crucial for upgrades. The first-person gameplay lets you use scalpels, saws, and other specialized tools designed to handle biological waste and unusual monster anatomy.

The game truly shines in cooperative play, encouraging up to four players to coordinate different roles from organ harvesting and machinery operation to environmental cleansing and debris management. Solo players can also enjoy the full experience, taking on every challenge at their own pace. Beyond the serious cleanup work, Kaiju Cleaner Simulator embraces humor and absurdity. Unexpected situations and quirky monster designs bring lighthearted moments to the gritty tasks of cleaning up after kaiju rampages, creating a perfect mix of dark comedy and simulation fun.

“After watching Kaiju No. 8, we thought maybe being a kaiju cleaner is even tougher than being their exterminator. It’s a job for real tough guys. Our game is for those who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and turn chaos into fun,” says One More Time.

Kaiju Cleaner’s Steam page is now live, and players can also request access to join the upcoming playtest, scheduled for early 2026.

About One More Time:
One More Time is an independent studio with six years of experience, originally known for hyper-casual mobile hits. Two years ago, they transitioned to PC games, achieving success with their debut Tavern Manager Simulator. This new project is the next step, deepening their expertise in the simulator genre.

5 Twisted Reasons to Enter the World of Cronos: The New Dawn This Spooktober

Listen up, horror fans: if you haven’t yet dared to play Cronos: The New Dawn — the survival horror cocktail of sci-fi mystery and retro-futuristic vibes — consider this your official invitation. Our dev team handpicked a few delightfully twisted reasons why skipping this one would be… a rookie mistake.

1.     Pure Body Horror!

It’s something deeply human — the fear of our own flesh turning against us. A feast for true connoisseurs of the grotesque, Cronos: The New Dawn dives deep into the anatomy of fear — the poetry of decay. For those who crave the unsettling, it delivers raw, visceral transformation: flesh twisting, bones contorting, humanity dissolving into nightmare.

Cronos’ signature monsters — the Orphans — merge, devour corpses, and evolve in real time. The more they consume, the bigger and more monstrous they become. Merging changes everything — it’s fast, brutal and merciless.

Your only rule: don’t let them merge.

2.   Intense Gameplay – Always on the Edge

Tension hits like a rollercoaster — dread, panic, relief — making every encounter feel electrifying. As resources dwindle, you’ll be on the edge of your seat while monstrous creations start to merge. Strategy is everything. No two fights are alike. Monsters adapt, merge, and evolve, keeping you sharp and forcing split-second decisions. This is survival horror at full intensity.

3.     Fear Factor – Face It Your Way… and Have a Blast!

Cronos: The New Dawn is a tribute to classic survival horror games, set against the haunting backdrop of Nowa Huta, where every corner oozes with tension and apocalyptic mystery. You fear not only what lurks around each corner, but the fragility of your survival strategy itself — one wrong move and chaos takes over. There’s a strange beauty in fear: feeling those intense emotions in a controlled environment, where danger excites without causing real harm, is both electrifying and liberating. It’s messy, terrifying, and saturated with adrenaline and carnage — capturing the very essence of the ghostly season, making it perfect for Halloween nights.

4.     Hear the Symphony of Horror

Prepare to feel fear in every vibration. Cronos: The New Dawn delivers a spine-chilling soundtrack, masterfully crafted by the incredible Arkadiusz Reikowski and amplified by the haunting Zazula Choir. Eerie, Blade Runner–style synths collide with ghostly Polish Ukrainian vocals, creating a soundscape that burrows deep under your skin. Every creak, whisper, and distortion makes you question reality. This isn’t just music — it’s an invitation to tremble.

5.     Test your courage, dare to survive

Cronos: The New Dawn is more than a game — it’s an experience. Survive it, and October will never feel the same again. The world is brutally challenging, and combat will push you to your limits — but every hard-fought victory is intensely satisfying. And if you die? Don’t be afraid to try again.

A bonus reason? You know we had to throw it in here. THE CATS. There is nothing sassier than a judgmental cat. These fluffy four-legged creatures are found throughout the collapsing city and can be pet (should they grant you the honor) for a brief reprieve from the harsh reality surrounding you.

This spooky season would not be complete without Cronos: The New Dawn. Consider this your invitation to overcome your fears and untangle a twisted time-travel story as you step into the Traveler’s boots and experience true survival horror at its finest.

Key Features:

  • An Extraction Shooter for Everybody: A top-down PvE shooter that’s streamlined for tense but fun firefights, making the extraction gameplay easy to pick up but hard to master—perfect for players of all levels.
  • Sneak or Shoot? Egg-stract Your Way Out: Strategic resource management is key. Fight enemies head-on with raw firepower or survive stealthily, plan your loot runs wisely, and avoid leaving empty-handed.
  • Build the Ultimate Base: Explore new maps, scavenge strategic supplies, and build up your base—all to construct a spaceship and escape the planet’s impending doom.Mod Your Arsenal From Peashooter to Cannon: Deep weapon customization and a robust crafting system ensure high replayability, keeping players quacking for more.

Feisty Bullet-Hell Roguelite ‘Rightfully, Beary Arms’ Enters 1.0 for PC, Xbox on Jan. 27

Go claws and blasters out with new story beats, bosses, weapons, and more

BOSTON — 15 Oct., 2025 — As revealed at IGN Fan Fest: Fall Edition, Rightfully, Beary Arms, the pawsome bullet-hell roguelite from developer Daylight Basement Studio, will pounce onto PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X|S with its 1.0 launch on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026.

Step back into the cuddly and extremely deadly shoes of Beary, blasting into 1.0 with a slew of fresh tricks up his sleeves. Experiment with new weapons and modifiers, sink his claws (well, bullets) into an intimidating final boss, and freshen up his style with an abundance of freshly-sewn fits. New story beats, mid-run saves, and achievements, among other improvements, round out a host of pawtastic additions.

Set out on an intergalactic mission to obliterate nasty Fun Guys and shocking Battery Boys in increasingly difficult roguelite runs. Transform weapons such as the Crop Duster and the Fish Sword into vessels of clawstruction with powerful augments. Between levels, select randomly generated bonuses that won’t just benefit Beary, but his foes as well, for an added sprinkling of risk and reward.

Explore the pixelated map as a lovingly stylish menace with a closet full of unbearably adorable outfits. Tear through pesky fiends and formidable bosses to the beat of a delightful chip-tune soundtrack. Live, die, and repeat it all over again to earn the title of the galaxy’s most fearsome teddy. 

“Who says a cute bear can’t learn new tricks?” said Chris Bischke, Co-Founder of Daylight Basement Studio. “After releasing in Steam Early Access over two years ago, we’ve poured countless hours into making Beary’s adventures more adorably chaotic than ever. We can’t wait to see what shenanigans fans will get him into with our 1.0 launch next year.“ 

Rightfully, Beary Arms paws out of Early Access and into 1.0 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026.
