Whether you’re a kid or adult, keep an eye out for these titles this year.
In conjunction with Square Enix Collective, indie developer Sushee has put their finishing touches on a demo for their upcoming Kickstarter title Goetia. Square Enix Collective is a publishing group run by Square Enix to help indie developers get off the ground.
Sushee’s Goetia is a point and click adventure game where the player controls a ghost of deceased girl. The goal is to discover why she died and while the player will be able to fly through walls and doors, the player cannot manipulate objects without possessing them. Obviously a possessed object cannot pass through walls, though.
The title looks like an interesting twist on the typical adventure game. The Kickstarter is only at 50% of it’s goal, but there shouldn’t be too much trouble breaking past that in the 21 days left. Goetia is planned for release in October 2015, and you can find the free demo on their Kickstarter now.
Sometimes it feels like Disney is trying to literally conquer the world’s multimedia. Releasing a slew of incredible movies like last year’s Big Hero 6, or this year’s highly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens has ensured their grip on cinema, while the home console market is slowly being enveloped by Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes. All of this is great, but what about mobile devices? Well now the House of Mouse have got us there too with the release of Disney Infinity 2.0: Toy Box on iOS devices.
From today, iOS owners can download the FREE app that gives access to the entire Disney Infinity 2.0 Toy Box experience. You can build your own worlds, games and just about anything else your mind could envision all while on the go. Best of all, the app will link up with your console or PC version of the game, so that you can keep all of your saved data with you and continue making tweaks and adjustments to the massive Toy Boxes while on the train, long car rides or just sitting bored at a family gathering.
Players who own the actual Disney Infinity figures can unlock the characters for use in-game via the code cards that come in every box, but for those who are just starting our then you will find yourselves able to use three free characters (the characters will rotate from time to time) so you wont be missing out on the fun. Also, if you own the original Disney Infinity: Toy Box then you will find all of your unlocked characters carried across to the new iteration.
To mark the launch of the new app (which you can get from here) Disney have also given us a new trailer that shows off the Toy Box in action. So check that out below and make sure you check out our Disney Infinity 2.0: Villains Competition for your chance to win the recently released Ronan the Accuser, Yondu Udonta and The Green Goblin figures.

Today MangaGamer announced that they will be releasing Moonstone’s Princess Evangile in English sometime in Spring 2015 and better yet, they will not only be releasing the 18+ version of the game through their website but they will also be offering an All-Ages version of the game on Steam as well as their website. MangaGamer has previously released Moonstone’s Imouto Paradise! in English for PC and now this “massive” title that features twenty six different chapters that tell an entire year’s worth of a story is the next on their list.
In Princess Evangile, players take on the role of a guy who has been left homeless after his father abandoned him with an enourmous debt. Wandering through the streets one night, he sees a girl surrounded by hostile people and saves her. It turns out this is a fated encounter as this girl, Rousenin Rise, takes these actions as proof that he is a “man of character” and chooses to invite him to join a private girls’ academy as a “sample” to see if the school can handle going co-ed.
While this is may seem like a dream for this lone boy to attend an all-girls school full of innocent maidens, he will have to deal with a school body that almost unanimously wants to keep the school the same as it has always been.
As mentioned earlier, there will be two versions of Princess Evangile released by MangaGamer, with the All Ages version sold on Steam costing $34.99 and the mosaic-free Adults Only one being priced at $44.99 and only available through MangaGamer’s online store (18+).
