SFTP DEMO NOW AVAILABLE ON STEAM

– A crazy football take on the game of checkers  –

London,  June 15, 2026  – Sparkling Vinegar and Tiny Dragon Games announced today that the demo for their upcoming game, SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro, is now available on Steam.

SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro drops you into the high-energy chaos of a wild football league where classic checkers meets hard-hitting strategy and the football fantasy of offensive and defensive lines, ball carriers, and big collisions.

The game casts the player as a British ex-soccer coach hired to manage an American football team and bring it to the highest ranks of a very special league. While the standard rules of checkers apply, the player will alternate between attack and defense, trying to outsmart their opponent. Winning the traditional way in Checkers, or bringing the ball to the final line, the player learns to unleash game-changing special powers that can flip the match in an instant: Rewind the last turn or deliver a dummy and block a tile, the game isn’t over until it’s over (and the referee isn’t exactly helping).

The game lets the player charge through the story mode, defeat the league’s toughest teams and their totally unhinged coaches, and unlock powerful new abilities, fame and new sponsors as they climb their way to football glory. 

The demo features the bronze league of SFTP. The full game, coming this Summer, will feature the rest of the tournament, each with new teams and their unhinged coaches, teaching the player new powers, and leading to an epic final match. The full game will also include two additional modes:

  • An arcade mode, where the player can hone their skills in quick matches against the 3 different difficulty levels of the computer, or fight one of their friends in local multiplayer on the same PC. 
  • An Online multiplayer mode, where players compete against one another in public or private lobbies.

The full version of  SFTP – Super Football Tactics Pro is scheduled to release this Summer on PC, and players can add it to their wishlist on Steam now.

Co-Op Bermuda Triangle Extraction Game ‘Wreck Runners’ Heading to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 Consoles on July 16

Players on consoles as well as PC have earned themselves a ticket for this tropical, horror adventure 

Oakland, CA. (June 15, 2026) – Disruptive Games is pleased to announce that its co-op multiplayer extraction game, Wreck Runners, will also be released on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 consoles, as well as the previously confirmed PC launch. Set in the Bermuda Triangle, this chaotic, loot-gathering, sometimes-spooky-often-hilarious game will be released later in 2026. 

Watch the Wreck Runners console announcement trailer:

The extremely benevolent and not at all suspicious Trustwell Corporation has an urgent contract and it needs you and up to three friends to head to the Bermuda Triangle. You’ll explore the vast reaches of this tropical destination in search of valuable loot and profits for your mother company. Just don’t ask about the ominous and encroaching Fog. 

Hop into your all-terrain and aquatic vehicle, the ORCA, and venture out into the murky depths, unsafe skies, and a world that’s collapsing around you, aiming to locate precious salvage. Your Scrapjack tool can help too, as you wrangle with its physics-based grappler to wrest loot from difficult to reach places. 

Every run is unpredictable and you’ll need to brave unnatural creatures and the elements, including that pesky Fog, to get out safely. In between these runs, you’ll have the opportunity to turn your loot into treasure. Use your earnings to gain better equipment, upgrades, and even a fresh look for you and your crew. Being a wreck runner isn’t always easy, but with comms and collaboration, you’ll become Trustwell’s best employees.

Wreck Runners is coming to PC via Steam, as well as Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, on July 16, 2026.

In this new preview, play as Germany’s Afrika Korps in the Operation Sonnenblume Scenario and experience your first taste of naval combat.

Command Key Players of WWII from 1939 to 1945Pulling inspiration from classic wargames, such as ADG’s World in Flames, SPI’s ETO, and others, Total Victory is a grand strategy wargame that allows players the chance to experience the entirety of World War II in a variety of different ways. It combines moderate complexity and divisional-level strategy with historically inspired units and production. Play as any major nation from the Axis, Allies, or Comintern. Manage production, military units, and prominent historical commanders. Lead land, naval, and air forces against rival nations.

Realistic World Map and Tile-Based System
In Total Victory, a modified Mercator map with NATO symbols or, colorful silhouettes icons, highlights military units unique to each nation. Manage the deployment of a wide range of period-based military units used throughout the war, each with unique attributes. Use land units such as infantry, armor, paratroopers and marines to engage the enemy from the front lines, and select from a wide variety of aircraft models to attack from above. Command carriers, battleships, cruiser, destroyer, and submarine groups in land, air, and sea operations. Monitor your nation’s overall manpower and oil, as they could be crucial to the war’s outcome. Ore fuels the industry that produces war materials for steel, tanks, aircraft, and support units. Through continued research, explore over twenty technological advances that unlock new units, combat enhancements, and intelligence to enhance your nation’s military power.

Strategy-First Gameplay Total Victory replaces the pain of endless menu-clicking, often found in other popular RTS games, with an easy-to-use interface. With an automatic reinforcement and supply mechanic, players can now focus more on making strategic decisions rather than unit upkeep. Players can also enjoy multiple ways to play. Battle against an AI opponent and enable add-on bonuses for rival alliances in readiness, production, and more for an increased challenge. Exchange your latest moves through PBEM or play pass-and-play on a single PC against a friend in Hotseat mode.

New Scenario Available for Steam Next Fest
Command the Afrika Korp in “Operation Sonnenblume,” the new North Africa 1941 scenario launching in the Total Victory Steam Next Fest demo. Taking charge of German and Italian forces against a formidable British defense, you must master a grueling operational campaign that tests your strategic endurance, patience, and timing of attack with limited forces. The scenario begins with Rommel on the move in March of 1941 and ends in December of 1941. This scenario introduces naval assets for naval support and critical resupply for units on the coast.

Demo Features:

  • Play as Germany in the Blitzkrieg East Scenario, where players can attempt to invade the USSR from June to September 1941. 
  • Command the Afrika Krop in the Operation Sonnenblume campaign, set in North Africa 1941.

Skystone Games and RedDeer.Games Unveil Dark Stream, a First-Person Horror Game Where Your Twitch Chat Decides Your Fate

Go live from a house that should have stayed empty. Survive the subathon. Figure out what it wants — before your audience does.

SAN FRANCISCO — June 15, 2026 — Skystone Games, in partnership with developer RedDeer.Games, today unveiled Dark Stream, a first-person psychological horror game about a disgraced content creator chasing one last viral moment inside a house rumored to be haunted for decades. The catch: the stream is live, the chat is watching, and the haunting reacts to both of you. The demo is live right now, and can be played on Steam immediately.

You play a creator with everything to prove and nothing left to lose. Armed with a laptop, a flickering flashlight, and a live chat feed, you push deeper into the house to uncover its violent past — and survive the encounters waiting inside it. This isn’t exploration. You’re stepping directly into active paranormal events that react to you.

Every anomaly is its own twisted performance. Objects shift with intent. Sounds linger where they shouldn’t. Whispers crawl through the static like they’ve been waiting for an audience. Each encounter is a tense, interactive investigation: observe, interpret, and experiment to understand what’s happening before the nightmare takes hold. Correct reads stabilize the anomaly and reveal the truth. Mistakes escalate everything, turning the house unpredictable and hostile.

And you’re never alone on stream. A fully integrated Twitch chat reacts in real time. They’ll support you when things go bad, feed the chaos for fun, or spam “F” while it all falls apart. Either way, they’re staying until the end. As you unlock more rooms, the fragments connect, the objects, the spaces, and the way the house warps around you – into something far bigger than a single haunting.

Dark Stream is coming to PC via Steam. Wishlist now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4028450/Dark_Stream/

Key Features

  • A haunting that reacts to you — anomalies respond to your actions, not a script. Read them right or watch them turn on you.
  • Live Twitch chat integration — your audience reacts in real time and becomes part of the experience.
  • Interactive investigation horror — observe, interpret, and experiment your way through each encounter.
  • A house with a violent past — piece together the full story as you unlock rooms and confront what’s inside.
  • Survive the subathon — keep the stream alive as the haunting awakens and the pressure mounts.

BREAKING PAPnews: From PAPmusic Animation for Fashion to the Mystery of PAPgame

From PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion to the Mystery of PAPgame BREAKING PAPnews Begins the PAPgame Reveal

Originally created as an independent animated musical feature set between Milan, Rome, Venice and Pompeii, PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion continues its evolution with BREAKING PAPnews, the new single created by artist, director and creator LeiKiè that begins the reveal of the mysterious PAPgame.

Watch the official BREAKING PAPnews music video:

Conceived as an animated musical comedy capable of blending fashion, music, pop culture and Italian artistic heritage, PAPmusic – Animation for Fashion has progressively evolved into an increasingly expansive creative universe characterized by a strong visual and narrative identity.

After receiving more than 50 international awards and official selections, the project continues its journey today by expanding its imagination beyond the original feature film.

Over the years, the narrative world born around PAPmusic has progressively developed its own identity, giving rise to what is now known as the PAPmusic World: a shared creative space where characters, animation, music, storytelling and new forms of entertainment coexist within a common vision.

With BREAKING PAPnews, the reveal of PAPgame officially begins. A project whose nature remains deliberately shrouded in mystery and which marks the beginning of this new chapter.

“BREAKING PAPnews is not just a song. It is the first signal coming from a much larger universe that is still waiting to be discovered.”

LeiKiè

Its true nature will be progressively revealed over the coming months through new music releases, music videos and original content designed to accompany audiences on a gradual journey of discovery.

But what exactly is PAPgame?

A board game?
A social game?
Or something completely unexpected?

For now, the project leaves room for interpretations, curiosity and theories, transforming the discovery itself into an integral part of the narrative experience.

Through new songs, music videos and original content, audiences will be guided through a progressive reveal that will continue to expand the narrative universe born from PAPmusic.

Rather than a traditional launch campaign, PAPgame will be introduced through a creative journey in which music, visuals and storytelling become an integral part of the reveal itself.

At a time when more and more intellectual properties are seeking new ways to expand beyond cinema, PAPmusic continues to develop an independent approach that uses animation, music and storytelling as complementary worldbuilding tools.

A new phase of the PAPmusic World has officially begun.
