Major new update available today on all platforms 

LONDON, UK – September 19, 2025 – Scurry into the shadows as a 7-inch rat detective or charm adoring fans as a world-famous private eye in the brand new Modifiers Update for the award-winning detective sim Shadows of Doubt, available today as a free content update on PC, the PlayStation®5 (PS5) system, and Xbox Series X|S.

Discover all-new ways to play with nine gameplay modifiers that overhaul Shadows of Doubt’s crime-solving experience. Prove yourself as the ultimate detective with the new Ironman modifier, immerse yourself in a world inspired by classic cinema with the new Film Noir filter, or evade a deadly snail that’s endlessly pursuing you throughout the game world – and where just one touch is enough to end your investigation.

Modifiers:

• Ironman – Prove yourself as the ultimate detective with the greatest challenge of all: Ironman. If you die, your save file is deleted, wiping your progress and forcing you to start again from scratch. Good luck, detectives.
• Permadeath – Fancy a challenge but aren’t quite ready for Ironman? With the Permadeath modifier, you’ll no longer wake up in the hospital after dying. Instead, you’ll need to reload your save and try not to make the same mistakes again…
• Snail Nemesis – You are an immortal detective with only one fatal weakness: a deadly snail that is endlessly pursuing you across the city. Somewhere, the snail is slowly, relentlessly following you, and one touch is enough to kill. Crack the case, not the shell.
• Rat Detective – You are a 20cm tall rat detective, with all the abilities that entails. Climb up walls and ceilings, and literally be as quiet as a mouse to sneak past people more easily. But being a rat detective isn’t always simple: certain objects are now non-interactable and, if you’re spotted, some of the city’s residents may just try to stamp on you…
• Fame & Fortune – Become a world-famous detective just trying to do their job. As you investigate each crime, adoring fans will chase you through the city streets in the hope of getting your autograph. But raving fans may not be the best mix for an ongoing investigation…
• Short-Sighted – As a short-sighted detective, make sure to keep glasses in your inventory in order to see the world clearly. But beware of getting into fights: a spot of fisticuffs isn’t always the best way to care for a set of glasses.
• Gambling Debt – Begin your career with a gambling debt from a loan shark. If you fail to pay the debt back in time, the loan shark’s henchmen will track you down to take matters into their own hands.
• House Arrest – Buying an apartment means living in your apartment. Permanently. Once you own an apartment, anytime you try to leave, security and the police will treat you as a hostile threat.
• Film Noir – Immerse yourself in a classic film noir setting with the new black and white filter.

Nominated for ‘Most Innovative Gameplay’ at the 2023 Steam Awards and awarded Ukie’s UK Game of the Show at gamescom 2022, Shadows of Doubt is an immersive crime-solving sim that puts players in the role of a private investigator. 

Explore fully simulated cities and meet individual citizens each with their own name, job, apartment, and daily routine. Use gadgets to uncover evidence, track down criminals and crack each case in a city where anybody could be a suspect. Scan fingerprints, browse call logs, read private emails, check CCTV, pick locks, and sabotage security systems. With multiple ways to solve each case, become the detective that you want to be.

Shadows of Doubt is available now on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Carcinisation rules the nation in 2026

The Bottom of the Ocean – 18 September 2025: Are you one of life’s Dar-winners? Prove you’ve got the stones to survive in Everything is Crab, the debut animal evolution roguelite from the nippers at Odd Dreams Digital and purple shore Secret Mode, with a Steam Playtest taking place right now.

Emerge from the mud as an amorphous blob and avoid deadly predators before sidling up crabwise and pinching a creature’s lifeforce – or ghost the animals and stick to plants if you prefer a peaceful approach. Add weird and wonderful evolutions to your creature and escape carcinisation, with over 100 evolutions based on real-life animals combining to create a complex chimera of a character. Be like a Potamon and collect them all!

Everything is Crab’s world is a living ecosystem, with a day and night cycle and a range of biomes from arctic snow to the red rock desert. Watch out for giant enemy bosses and dodge their attacks while you wait for an opening, before nipping away at their health bar while chitin around them. Adapt and survive in these harsh conditions or face terrible consequences, like being killed – or worse! (Actually no, dying is the worst thing that can happen).

Be reborn with new genetic traits earned through (un)successful runs and fiddler with difficulty settings to see how far you’ve really evolved. Complete challenge scenarios, like surviving the Ice Age, to push your skills to the limit and prove you’re the king of the animal kingdom!

Everything is Crab is the first game from indie studio Odd Dreams Digital, who are a real development team and definitely not several crabs in a trench coat. It will launch on PC via Steam some time in 2026, but don’t feel blue – you can jump into the free Steam Playtest right now and sink your claws into the action for a short time.

About Everything is Crab

The Animal Evolution roguelite. Hunt, Flee, Scavenge & Thrive in a living ecosystem. Choose from over 100 mutations to evolve your creature in countless ways with every run. Adapt to survive the natural curve in order to beat carcinisation… or get Darwin’d trying!

A free Steam Playtest is available now.

Reap the Reward of Wild Rolls in High-Stakes Medieval Mayhem

Bristol, UK – September 19, 2025 – Yogscast Games today confirmed that Dicealot, a captivating roguelike dice builder where risk is the reward and strategy requires luck, will launch on Thursday, October 9, via Steam. Set in medieval times with comedic Camelot charm, players engage in Farkle-fuelled dice duels against medieval foes, where one wrong roll can send carefully accumulated scores tumbling back to zero. In a game where fortune can favour the brave or leave players ‘Farkled’, Dicealot delivers a nail-biting experience where tension and excitement build with every roll of the dice.

“Dicealot has a unique ability to get its hooks into you and tempt you into one more game,” said Simon Byron, Managing Director, Yogscast Games. “Its simple pick-up and play mechanics draw you in. A few battles later, you’ll be up all night devising new strategies, combining new Quest Dice and Vassals as you get Farkled over and over again.”

Dicealot combines basic Farkle mechanics and applies a modern-day twist, creating tension and anticipation through every roll. The game’s tactical depth emerges through its dice-building system, where players craft powerful combinations and develop strategies to stack the odds in their favour. Every roll brings risk, but the rewards for a full hand can deliver big scores and huge damage to the opposition. Gaining a full hand results in the option to rollover, but as the points continue to build, so must the player’s nerve if they’re to score big and win.

Between bouts, players can help build their strategy by visiting one of several merchants and arm themselves with Quest and Power Dice, Vassals, or boost their health and gold reserves. With only one opportunity to power up before facing the next medieval menace, players face the tough choice of deciding whether to opt for more power, increase score multipliers, or uncover a new winning dice combination or additional rerolls. With Dicealot, half of the battle is figuring out the perfect strategy for each of the seven quests and boss encounters.

Dicealot’s medieval setting provides the perfect backdrop for its high-stakes gameplay, featuring retro-inspired visuals and a cast of eccentric characters that bring warmth and humour even when they introduce a second die or take advantage of yet another Farkle. The game’s light-hearted encounters, which are more Monty Python than Gladiator, are enhanced by satisfying visual flourishes and audio cues. Whether players are facing a peculiar knight or outwitting a jolly green giant, every encounter brings unique challenges and epic rewards.

Developed by Goodview Games, Dicealot rolls onto Steam on Thursday, October 9, 2025. Keep up-to-date with the latest news and information, visit the Yogscast Games website.

The first episode of a series of upcoming dev diaries also debuts alongside the release date

Kraków, Poland – Sept. 18, 2025 – Winter Survival, the unrelenting, story-driven survival game from developer DRAGO Entertainment, is gearing up for its thrilling final act, as well as the completion of Early Access on PC via Steam. Version 1.0, which will add Act III and a host of new features, braves the cold on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, as debuted during the Convergence Showcase. 

Act III marks the completion of Danny’s journey through the brutal wilderness and Winter Survival’s time in Early Access. This final act adds new armors and weapons, among which is a firearm now, new mechanics like the fishing minigame, and a number of major quality of life enhancements. A revamped Act I and II provides a whole new experience for players who may want to revisit previous challenges.

Endure against all odds after a group of friends are unexpectedly separated during a wilderness hike, that rapidly turns into a waking nightmare, when they are attacked by a starving bear. Navigate unforgiving terrain and bloodthirsty beasts while foraging for food and finding shelter far from the safety of civilization. 

Fashion makeshift tools and use them to cobble together weapons, armors, defenses and housing,, build traps to hunt wild game, and to stay warm as the unforgiving cold of a deadly blizzard approaches. Fight off ravenous wolves, aggressive wild boars, and a maneating bear while exploring an abandoned town and discovering what happened to its former inhabitants – often through Danny’s disturbing nightmares.

Act III adds loads of new content for Story Mode, in addition to major enhancements for Winter Survival’s two challenge modes. In the fully customizable Survival Mode, uncover a brand new area, and newly introduced features like the flintlock and beaver, new crafting recipes, and an eerie marshal to contend with. Act III also marks the beginning of Season 2 of Cold Wave: face new challenges in the midst of ceaseless blizzards in an all-out fight for survival.

“We are beyond excited about what’s in store for players in Act III,” said Joanna Tynor, CEO at DRAGO Entertainment. “We’ve been listening closely to our community throughout Early Access, and we hope that we meet their expectations and that they are going to be happy to see.”

The team has also produced a series of developer diaries, with episode one available now. Technical Director, Ian Likovnik, as well as Art Director, Marek Zaranski, come together in a deep dive on the inspirations and concept behind Winter Survival, and how the game’s vision was ultimately brought to life.  

Winter Survival exits Early Access into 1.0 release on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 on PC via Steam for $18.99 USD, with console versions planned for the future. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and follow DRAGO entertainment on Twitter and Facebook for updates.

I Don’t Think You’re Ready For These Jellies

TOKYO – Sept. 17, 2025 – Jelly Troops, the lightning-fast pick-up-and-play PvP action strategy game developed by Nukenin Inc. and published by Phoenixx Inc., launches today on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam for $8.99. Join up as a joyous gelatinous general with a limited-time sale starting today on Steam until Wednesday, Oct. 1 at 10:00 AM PDT, and on Nintendo Switch until Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 23:59 PM PDT.

Summon squadrons of slimes as dueling wizards in a battle of wits and wills as chaotic as it is cute. Both wizards must capture the other’s flags, but there are many paths to victory. Outnumber or outsmart the enemy, but always remember that split-second decisions can make or break a campaign.

Each wizard begins the battle with three slime soldiers. Grow a gelatinous army by harvesting nearby Magic Fruits, send Jellies to harvest them, then transport them back to base to grow new slimes. Allocate manpower Jellypower to prioritize tasks – more Jellies working together speeds up every process.

Sneak around the map to scout for snatchable enemy flags or overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers and a decisive strike. Steer clear of towering Golems that can crush Jellies and wizards alike, or lure them toward key choke points to inhibit enemy mobility. Set up slime walls to protect flags or route opposing armies the long way around. 

Acquire power-ups that can turn the tide of battle, like lightning strikes that can decimate slimes in the blink of an eye, ticking time bombs, invisibility, and even friendly Golems. Face off in battles for slime supremacy against family and friends in split-screen multiplayer, or challenge gelatinous strategists from around the world in random and private online matches. 

Starting today, compete against the Jelly Troops dev during the Launch Battle Party every night at 9:00 PM across all time zones. Enter to win one of ten Steam keys by posting a screenshot, or video of gameplay with #JellyTroops on X. Follow the official Phoenixx X account and check recent posts for more details.

“Jelly Troops might seem cute on the outside, but don’t underestimate the strategic variety hiding underneath!” says Waken, solo developer of Jelly Troops. “Jelly Troops has been a passion project of mine for some time. I look forward to seeing what strategies develop.”

Jelly Troops goes on the offensive on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch today for $8.99.
