CLIMBING IS SURVIVING: STARIO: HAVEN TOWER LAUNCHES INTO EARLY ACCESS ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2025

0

Build a Civilisation Skyward in this Vertical City-Building Adventure

September 19, 2025 – Indie studio Stargate Games is excited to announce that Stario: Haven Tower will launch worldwide on Steam Early Access at 8:00 PM PDT, Sept 25, 2025. The game will be available at $13.99 USD (launch price $12.59), with a 10% launch discount for two weeks. Stario: Haven Tower reimagines the city-building genre by focusing all the complexity and wonder of urban management into a single, ever-rising tower. Players must expand upward through shifting skies and hostile conditions, balancing survival, growth, and the hopes of their Towertizens.

Stario: Haven Tower takes place after a cataclysm that nearly destroyed human civilisation. According to prophecy, the last survivors, the “Towertizens,” must build a colossal tower that reaches into the heavens to restore humanity’s glory. As players guide their people floor by floor, the tower will face relentless natural disasters. Simultaneously, Towertizens will need more goods to support life as they climb farther from the ground. Careful planning and resource management are key to constructing seven monumental Miracle Towers and leading the community toward a new beginning.
The game blends post-apocalyptic survival with a surprisingly pastoral aesthetic. Each biome has its own ecosystem, shaping how resources are gathered. Jellyfish Quartz is plentiful in Mist Zones, while Manta Rays thrive in Rain Zones and provide specialised materials. This contrast between harsh disasters and idyllic scenery creates a striking world. Every section of the tower feels distinct, and Early Access adds richer decorative buildings along with the Miracle Tower system, making towers both functional and beautiful.
Unlike traditional city builders that expand outward, Stario focuses on vertical construction. But it is more than just stacking floors. Resource management drives every decision, from sustaining daily life to fueling ambitious projects. Ecosystem bonuses, tower effects, and intricate recipes all push players to experiment with efficient layouts. Logistics are another challenge. Each floor stores resources independently, and carriers automatically move goods to where they are needed. But carriers are slow and limited, often leading to food shortages below and stalled construction above. Players must unlock advanced logistics technologies to design smarter, tower-wide supply chains.

For those seeking greater depth, Early Access introduces the Ritual system, with 13 unique rituals that provide different buffs. Structural options like diagonal braces and frameworks also give more freedom in tower design, allowing creative builds that stretch both upward and outward.
Stario draws creative inspiration from many sources. Ted Chiang’s Tower of Babylon, Tsutomu Nihei’s Tower Dungeon, and the limitless treehouses of Minecraft all shaped its vision. The game also borrows from bold architectural concepts of “vertical megastructures” and “vertical cities.” This mix of literature, manga, games, and real-world ideas gives Stario its humanistic tone. It is a city builder not only about survival, but about hope and imagination.

The Early Access version gives players the full progression from level 13 and up, along with the complete tech tree and story conclusion. Content highlights include:

  • 6 Biomes: Sandstorm, Mist, Rain, Frost, Clear Skies, Starry Night
  • 4 Natural Disasters to challenge tower stability and resource management
  • Complete Technology Upgrade
  • 70+ Buildings
  • 50+ Crafting Recipes
  • Story Ending

    New Gameplay Systems in Early Access
  • Miracle Towers — monumental wonders that symbolise human resilience and grant powerful benefits
  • Ritual Platform — unlock unique rituals to reshape gameplay
  • Turtle Port — enables trade and commerce between towers
  • Towertizens Wishboard — fulfil citizen wishes to boost morale and earn special rewards
  • Achievements & Difficulty Modes — new progression, goals, and challenge options

    Stario: Haven Tower will be available in Steam Early Access on September 25, 2025, priced at $13.99 USD (launch price $12.59). The 10% discount will run for the first two weeks.

Shadows of Doubt ‘Modifiers Update’ Introduces All-New Ways to Play the Award-Winning Detective Sim

0

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.

YOGSCAST GAMES CONFIRMS DICEALOT WILL ROLL-OUT ON PC FROM OCTOBER 9 – DICE WITH DEATH IN THE ULTIMATE HIGH-STAKES ROGUELIKE DICE-BUILDER

0

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.
