Plunder the depths of DAVY x JONES on Steam Early Access August 28th

On sale for $6.66 for the first 6 days 6 hours and 6 minutes

Kraków, Poland – August 14th –  The crew at PARASIGHT, creators of the critically acclaimed BLACKTAIL, have revealed that their highly anticipated pirate-themed first-person action-adventure DAVY x JONES, will launch into Steam Early Access on August 28th.

That’s not all – the game’s price will be mercilessly slashed to a mere $6.66 for its first 6 days, 6 hours, and 6 minutes on sale. (In layman’s terms, this means the sale ends on September 4th). After that, the price rises to $9.99/£8.50/€9.75.

To mark the occasion, PARASIGHT has released a brand-new trailer teasing the fierce battles, new infamous characters, twisted humor, and darkly enchanting pirate underworld that await in DAVY x JONES.

In DAVY x JONES, players will step into the boots of the legendary pirate himself – betrayed, robbed, and ultimately – beheaded. Jones awakens in The Locker, a pirate hell shattered into islands floating on an endless sea of clouds. But death is merely the beginning of his epic tale of revenge. Control the captain’s headless body — Jones — and forge an unlikely alliance with your stubborn skull — Davy — as you reclaim your legendary Artifacts and face your eternal nemesis: Blackbeard.

Fight like a true pirate legend, wielding sword, gun, and even your own sharp-tongued skull — whose tentacle makes for one hell of a grappling hook. Soar between cloud-swept islands aboard Abby, your half-ship, half-whale vessel, and face towering behemoths in desperate battles across the depths of The Locker. Rally your crew and avenge your honor by battling through hordes of cursed souls, fiends, and legendary pirates on your quest to escape the underworld!

This Early Access release will contain DAVY x JONES’ core gameplay and combat systems, Several of The Locker’s cursed islands, Legendary weapons, a host of underworld fiends, and variety of skills, cinematic executions and dynamic traversal. More content will be added throughout its voyage on Early Access, with the price increasing accordingly until the game’s full 1.0 launch on PC and consoles in late 2026.

DAVY x JONES is already a blast to play, but we want players to join us well before launch,” said Bartosz Kaproń, CEO and Creative Director of PARASIGHT. “We’re around twenty people making something we love, and getting players on board now means we can make sure every part of it lands exactly how it should – and maybe surprise you along the way.”

Key features of DAVY x JONES:

  • A Fresh Take on the Legend: Play as the legendary Davy Jones – his detached head guides, while the player commands his formidable body in an unforgettable alliance
  • Pirates’ Open (Under)World: Journey through The Locker, a surreal pirate hell shattered into nine islands floating on an infinite sea of clouds. Face twisted fiends, cursed souls and legendary behemoths like the Kraken — guardians of the underworld’s darkest secrets.
  • Intense First-Person Combat: Push through everything that stands in your way. Master fast-paced first-person combat with sword, gun and your own talking skull — and carve your path back into legend.
  • FUSIONS — Risk, Reward, and Mayhem: Every fallen enemy drops volatile underworld essence. When essences converge, they merge into a treasure chest containing powerful loot — but each chest also unleashes an unpredictable fiend. Will you take the risk… or flee before the storm?
  • Your Living vessel ABBY – Half Ship / Half Whale: Meet Abby: a young behemoth, hybrid of ship and whale who joins your epic journey. She’s your base, your artillery, and your ally. Recruit legendary Officers to crew her and unleash devastating abilities like CANNONS in combat.
  • FATHOM THE DEVIL:  Grow into power and unlock your true nature — because the only way out of Davy Jones’ Locker… is to BECOME THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

“We wanted players to experience the twisted pirate (under)world and unique protagonist – DAVY x JONES,” said Bartosz Kaproń, CEO and Creative Director of PARASIGHT. “Our trailers showcase its hyperkinetic action—which you’ll briefly experience here—but this demo emphasizes tone, character depth, and the revenge-fueled journey ahead. It immerses you just enough to make settling the score with Blackbeard irresistible!”

DAVY x JONES is launching in Steam Early Access on 28th August

Forage, Craft, Die, and Respawn in Kentum — New Trailer Out Now

Upcoming 2D craftervania adventure announces new publisher – craft, farm, and rebuild civilization alongside your quirky robot best friend  

[Buenos Aires, Argentina – August 14, 2025] — Tlön Industries is excited to reveal a new trailer, along with their partnership with V Publishing, for their upcoming postapocalyptic title, Kentum coming to Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch later this year! In this trailer, players are reintroduced to Kent, our clone hero with nothing but a stick and a dry sense of humor. Stranded in the year 10,000 after a nap spanning several millennia, Kent must craft, build, and automate to not only survive, but to rebuild civilization. 

As Kent, explore the abandoned and hostile world you now call home alongside your matter-of-fact robot companion, ORB. Gather resources, catalog new findings, and turn your knowledge into steel by building everything from bases and farms, and eventually, automated factories. However, you aren’t entirely alone in this world, as unfriendly monsters lie waiting to snuff out your existence. While Kent is a clone who cannot permanently die, try to avoid biting the dust too often, as it’s still a major inconvenience.

Key features:

  • Explore, Scan, and Catalogue: Discover the wonders and the oddities of a vast, ever-changing world filled to the brim with fascinating flora, fauna, and climate events. Classify every animal, plant, and mineral in order to help you survive the passing seasons. 
  • Craft it to the Limit: Use every material at your disposal to build your base. Start small by turning wood into coal, machine scraps into sheets of metal, and slowly but surely grow your base into a full-blown resource-generating machine that can rival any factory in the world.
  • Survive… or Not! You’ll Be Cloned Anyways: Even though Kent will be revived endlessly, that doesn’t change the fact that dying is a major drag. You’ll need to gather and hunt for food, find new recipes, and polish your cooking skills. Building your own farms and vivariums is your ticket to a steady source of nourishment.
  • Build the Home Base of Your Dreams: Expand your home base and create an automated system to allow you to streamline and optimize your productions while you are off exploring. 
  • Traverse Exotic Locales in Style: From vibrant jungles to desolate ruins, traverse post-apocalyptic Earth with your hoverboard, hang glider, grappling hook and more. It is up to you to maneuver with equal parts adventure and efficiency.

Timewarp to the world of Kentum ahead of its release on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch later this year. Aspiring base building aficionados can also wishlist the game today.

Clay-animated shmup Platypus Reclayed brings the legendary classic to PC and consoles September 18th

Reclaimed. Remade. Reclayed. The Legendary Platypus Returns after 23 years!

Sheffield, UK, August 14th, 2025 – Claymatic Games is proud to reveal that its clay-animated shmup Platypus Reclayed is launching September 18th on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox X|S, and Switch. This reimagining of the cult classic arcade shooter Platypus takes everything that was great about the original game and updates it with a huge host of new features for the definitive edition of Platypus. Get ready to dive into the heart-pounding action of this fast, frantic, and incredibly fun arcade-style shoot-em-up!

23 years after its first appearance, the iconic indie shoot ‘em up Platypus is coming back, better than ever! Led by the original creator Anthony Flack, alongside the talented Claymatic team, Platypus Reclayed isn’t just a simple remaster—it’s a complete revamp. Reprogrammed from scratch and updated for modern hardware, Platypus Reclayed is moulded from the ground up with all-new models and artwork photographed in 4k widescreen, featuring updated gameplay, new weapons and additional content.

Haven’t heard of Platypus? Here’s a primer:
Platypus first made its debut in 2002, when “indie games” were unheard of, before Xbox Live Arcade or Kongregate even existed. Yet to this day Platypus has retained an active community, with fans still making mods and fan art on a regular basis. Due to its singular clay-animated art style, fluid controls, and tight game design, it was one of the first indie games by a solo developer to become a critical and commercial success.

So what’s new?
Platypus Reclayed takes everything that made the original Platypus sing and updates it for a modern audience. The clay artwork can now be viewed in its full glory with high-def resolution, a brand new stage has been added, existing levels have been remixed for new surprises, there’s additional enemies and weapons, new adjustable difficulty options have been added, the soundtrack has been bolstered with high quality remixes, and new game modes like Practice and the permadeath single-life challenge mode Score Attack. Plus the whole game can be played with drop-in two-player co-op! That’s not all, as Platypus Reclayed was designed with modders in mind, and our community has been champing at the bit to make their own Platypus adventures!

“As the industry has shifted towards more complex, feature-rich, lengthier games, we wanted to go in the other direction: providing a one-button shmup that’s fun from the moment you pick it up!” said Anthony Flack, Lead Games Designer at Claymatic Games. “You don’t need to learn any complicated combos or absorb a bookish tutorial teaching how you can have fun later. Instead, you get right to the action. Platypus Reclayed is designed to be something you pick up for 20 minutes before bed or on your lunch break, but you enjoy every second of it!”

Features That Will Keep You Coming Back for More

  • Two-Player Simultaneous Action: Team up with a friend for double the fun!
  • Stunning Clay-Animated Graphics: Experience the beauty of clay-animation like never before with all-new high definition artwork.
  • Addictive, Exciting Gameplay: Get ready for heart-pounding action that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
  • The original Platypus soundtrack is back with even more officially licensed remixes of classic 1980s game tunes from our friends at C64audio.
  • Adjustable Difficulty Settings: Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, Platypus has a challenge for everyone.
  • Perfect for the Entire Family: Share the joy of Platypus with loved ones of all ages!
