Each charming location comes to life thanks to hand-crafted 2D visuals inspired by classic storybook adventures and cartoons. Indulge in an epic adventure alongside friends, and banish evil from the world once and for all.    

“We’re incredibly grateful to our community, who helped fully fund Castlebound on Kickstarter within four hours of the campaign launch,” said Steve Durán, Director and Designer at Ogre Pixel. “We blended tower-defense and roguelite combat into a colorfully stunning adventure reminiscent of pop-up books that invite players to challenge themselves or others at various skill levels.”

Debut PC-first title from SayGames, publisher with more than eight billion downloads

October 14, 2026 – Publisher SayGames and developer PLAYSTROM deliver Shipping Store Simulator 2037, the shipment management sim with robotic employees, today on PC via Steam. 

This release marks the first time SayGames has launched a PC-first experience, following the multiplatform success of My Little Universe and more than eight billion downloads across its portfolio.

Open up Rocket Post, a package pickup point with a modest budget trying to compete with Quickbox, which dominates the delivery industry in the city of Cranelock. But with a can-do attitude, and an army of robotic employees, Rocket Post can become the premier delivery service for the bustling metropolis. 

Assign automatons to handle key tasks at Rocket Post while balancing the budget and finding new opportunities to expand. Start by managing deliveries, organizing packages, and cleaning while building out the fleet of robotic employees. As staffing increases, the robots can take over more and more tasks while Rocket Post expands its services.

While robots don’t need to eat…or be paid…they still need some personal attention with repairs, after occasional accidents or catching on fire. Treat them well, purchase supplies, and enjoy the satisfaction of turning Rocket Post into a well-oiled logistics machine.

As Rocket Post expands, Cranelock’s VIPs will take notice of its success, and want to do business. Let the bots hold down the fort while delivering that personal touch behind the wheel of your delivery van or executing drop-offs via drone to drive Quickbox out of town.

“Shipping Store Simulator 2037 is significantly more expansive than what you usually see out of simulators, where we want to give you a city to explore,” said Ivan Bogdanchuk, CEO and Founder, PLAYSTROM. “When you get to get out of the shop and see how far your efforts reach, it really makes the work that much more satisfying.”

Shipping Store Simulator 2037 launches on Steam for PC today for $19.99 with a 10% launch discount, and a bundle with SayGames’ My Little Universe. The game supports English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language text.

For more information on Shipping Store Simulator 2037, visit the official website, join the official Discord server, and follow SayGames on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

Experts helped making Belter culture as authentic as possible with words and gestures

Nicosia, Cyprus, (October 14th, 2026) — Owlcat Games unveiled a new dev diary for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn during IGN Fan Fest, showcasing how the studio approaches depicting the distinct Belter culture known from the show and books.

Lang Belta or Belter Creole is the language the inhabitants of the asteroid belt and outer planets have developed over generations by mixing cultures and adapting to the realities of survival in the belt. The language was created by linguist Nick Farmer for the Expanse TV show. It is a creole of English, Romance, Germanic, Slavic, Asian, African and Middle Eastern languages, reflecting how the Belt is a melting pot of ethnicities but also showcasing how different it is from Earth and Mars.

The language also comprises a number of expressive gestures originally used by Belters to make communication in bulky space suits and helmets easier. Belters use them both when talking Lang Belta and when using English, since the gestures have become so ingrained in their culture and upbringing.

Translating (pun intended) this language and gesture system from the show into a video game came with specific challenges and opportunities that the developers tackled with the help of Nick Farmer as well as specialist in gestures and motion capture, Roberto Campanella.

For example, while the developers originally intended to simply create a new set of movements for NPCs based on Belter gestures, they soon realized that the intensity of each gesture differs depending on context and the user’s emotional state and intent. Some of the gestures also looked very impressive during mocap but appeared different when transferred to in-game models because of body proportions or lighting, so the choreography was adjusted until every movement felt clear and believable. The team also needed to make sure that each character’s use of slang, gestures, and switching from Belter to English made sense given context and socioeconomic situation.

But it was important to get it right, since Belter culture is an integral part of what makes the world of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn feel lived-in, authentic, and believable, with various gameplay consequences: if the player is from the Belt, they can speak Lang Belta, will get unique dialogue options and opportunities, understand conversations that make no sense to characters from the inner planets, and can get concessions from Belter characters based on their linguistic skills. However, playing as an Earther or a Martian means they will need to earn the trust of their Belter vis-à-vis first.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn launches on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027.

About Kitaria Fables 2

Across the great expanse of the Endless Ocean lies the Arkadera Peninsula, a distant region that once marked the western edge of the Empire. As the years passed and the Empire’s presence began to fade, the outposts that once protected Arkadera’s citizens were gradually reclaimed by nature, leaving behind a small community to take refuge in the walled haven of Whitewall Town.

Eager to prove their skills in the field, ambitious Royal Army ‘Pathfinder’ Alice Skylar and plucky local guide Dusty Tuftkin join up with the Royal Academy Expedition Team on its mission to reopen Whitewall Town’s fabled errand house, explore the wide peninsula, and restore the long-forgotten outposts.

But as the expedition journeys farther into the north, rumours of a mysterious figure deep within the wilderness slowly begin to surface…

Kitaria Fables 2 is coming to Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S in Spring 2027. Play the Steam demo now!

[Oregon, USA, October 14, 2026] Cozy Vineyard Valley has been quiet since the earthquake, the hillsides still green and the houses still shuttered. Cozy Builder is out now on Steam, and the whole valley is yours to bring back, one house at a time. The sandbox builder from two-person family studio Pangea Game Studios is available for $14.99 with a 20% launch discount.

Every house in the valley starts as a ruin. Players rebuild them piece by piece with dormers, arches, gabled roofs and curved glass walls, and putting one back together is a question of taste rather than instruction. The demo handed players one corner to practise on. The full game gives them the rest of the valley, more pieces to build from and more hillside to wander looking for the next place worth saving.

Decorating goes just as deep, and every surface is fair game, from the shelves in the kitchen to the ivy running up the outside wall, with no house style to match and nothing to get wrong, plus a greenhouse to fill with whatever rare plants turn up on players’ travels. Cozy Builder takes a beloved genre and opens the front door, giving players full access to every interior, so they live in what they made rather than just looking at it.

The valley is not empty either. The houses going back up belong to the people who live here, and the townsfolk are good company as the place fills back in. Every château restored is somebody’s address again.

Between jobs, the hillsides are worth a wander. Grapes and olives come off the slopes, and herbs, wildflowers and rare plants turn up for anyone willing to forage. Grapes become wine, and fruit becomes jam and preserves, and for anyone who wants to leave the job alone for an afternoon there is cooking, treasure hunting and gem cutting. There is no combat, no fail state, and no clock, so nothing in the valley has to be done in any particular order.

The one thing players asked for more than anything else was to be in the valley themselves, and Pangea built character creation into the full game because of it. The whole valley can be taken on solo from start to finish, or in online co-op with a friend, sharing a single house or taking a hillside each, both players as whoever they made.

The gates are open, and the valley has been waiting a long while. Cozy Builder is out now on Steam for $14.99, with a 20% launch discount. It is also available on the indie.io store.

505 Pulse and Avantgarden invite players to venture through a mythic Finnish wilderness and embark on a transformative journey where family secrets, ancient folklore, and the living forest meet.

MILAN, Italy – October 14, 2026 – 505 Pulse and Avantgarden are excited to announce that Among the Trolls, the first-person adventure inspired by Finnish mythology and folklore, launches today on Steam. Players will journey into a remote Finnish forest where a missing family member, an untamed natural world, and ancient legends draw them toward a mystery hidden beneath the trees.

Set within a breathtaking wilderness of deep woods and unseen presences, Among the Trolls follows Anna as she travels from the United States to her grandfather’s remote cabin in Finland, only to find that he has vanished without a trace. What begins as an emotional search becomes a profound journey through a landscape where nature is alive with memory, myth, and meaning.

Through its rich experiential narrative, Among the Trolls unfolds through exploration, environmental storytelling, and encounters rooted in Finnish folklore, as players piece together Anna’s family history and the mystery surrounding her grandfather’s disappearance.

Watch the Among the Trolls launch trailer:

“Our goal has always been to create a world where the forest feels mysterious, ancient, and alive,” said Giorgio Macellari, Creative Director at Avantgarden. “We’re excited to welcome players into this hidden corner of Finland and let them uncover the legends, memories, and family truths woven into its landscape.”

The game’s atmosphere is further shaped by an original score from multi-award-winning composer Daniele Carmosino. Blending piano, cello, strings, analog synth, and voice, the music reflects Anna’s loss and isolation, transforming acoustic sources into something increasingly unfamiliar. This contrast also comes through in “Endless Exile,” featuring vocals by Maria Chiara Argirò and smoky, trip-hop-inflected textures that bring a darker, more contemporary edge to the soundtrack.

The soundtrack is available today on Steam and all major digital platforms: https://505.fanlink.tv/ATTOST

Key Features:

• Enter a Living Finnish Wilderness: Explore a remote archipelago enveloped by a vast, living forest, where rugged shores, secluded places, and ancient mysteries await.
• Discover Mythology in the Landscape: Encounter beliefs, beings, and stories inspired by Finnish folklore and the poetic traditions of the Kalevala.
• Follow the Forest’s Hidden Signs: Read the environment for clues, traces, and subtle details that reveal the world’s deeper secrets.
• Experience a Deeply Narrative Family Mystery: Follow Anna’s personal journey, piece together her family history, and uncover long-forgotten truths surrounding her grandfather’s disappearance.

Among the Trolls is now available on PC via Steam for $19.99 USD / £15.99. The game will be available at a special 15% release discount until October 27th.

Survive the Caribbean, rescue your crew and build a ship of your own in this pirate survival sandbox

Warsaw, Poland – October 14th, 2026 – After re-obtaining the rights to Pirates Republic, Golden Hind Games SA is celebrating the game being once again fully in their control with a brand new trailer. With the wind in their sails again, the team is also excited to announce that they are hard at work moving the game into Unreal Engine 5 and that they have plans to open alpha testing for members of their Discord. Pirates Republic is a survival sandbox where you can play solo or team up in online co-op to gather supplies, build a settlement and work towards launching your own ship.

Set in the Caribbean in 1714, Pirates Republic puts survival at the heart of the pirate adventure. After a disastrous voyage leaves you shipwrecked, getting back to sea means starting over: finding food, crafting tools, recovering materials and bringing a scattered crew together. Every shelter you build and castaway you rescue brings that goal closer.

Pirates Republic is a game about people who wanted to live on their own terms and this game offers you that same freedom. Construction works piece by piece – place walls, floors, roofs, and furniture however you want. Every building you raise is yours, shaped by your decisions and creativity. Design your ships from the keel up using a modular building system. Hull shape, mast configuration, deck layout, oar capacity – every choice affects speed, durability, and combat performance. Combine parts to create over 100 unique vessel configurations, from nimble canoes to heavily armed frigates. Equip them with dozens of weapon types – from light swivel guns to devastating heavy cannons – and watch your choices matter in every broadside.

Nassau grows with your Fame. Every NPC who arrives has a unique appearance, backstory, skills, and personality – all procedurally generated. Build relationships, recruit crews, romance allies, and manage a democratic society where your people expect fair shares and strong leadership. Fail them, and they’ll maroon you on a desert island. Plunder too aggressively and you better be sure you’ve built enough fortifications to hold off the royal fleets of England and Spain when they come for you. 

Combat in Pirates Republic is brutal and personal. Board enemy ships and fight blade to blade with swords, axes, and improvised weapons. Draw your flintlock pistol or musket when you need to drop someone before they reach you. On the water, maneuver your ship into position and unleash devastating broadsides. Every engagement plays differently – whether you’re dueling a rival captain on a burning deck or defending Nassau’s walls against a full-scale naval assault.

About Golden Hind Games SA
