Written and designed by Meredith Gran, the creator of the hit webcomic Octopus PiePerfect Tides: Station to Station follows the story of Mara, an 18-year-old woman who makes a life-changing move away from her cozy island home.

Unseen Diplomacy 2 reveals new footage in Women-Led Games Showcase 2025

Sequel to acclaimed VR espionage experience coming to Meta Quest 3 and Steam VR later this year!

Bude, United Kingdom – June 7th, 2025 – Triangular Pixels have declassified an all new developer introduction more of their highly anticipated sequel Unseen Diplomacy 2 the follow up to their acclaimed espionage VR experience, as part of the Women-Led Games Showcase: Summer Game Fest Edition 2025. Building on the innovative foundation of the original, Unseen Diplomacy 2 will feature a full campaign, expanded gameplay mechanics, deeper strategy, and immersive comic book styling.

Witness new gameplay showcasing your use of high-tech spy gadgetry to disable security cameras, hack security systems, and evade lasers and security robots.

“During development of Unseen Diplomacy 2, I became pregnant. That obviously limited my physical abilities, which showed us the amount of extra work we needed to do in order to make our game super accessible to everybody,” said Katie Goode, Creative Director at Triangular Pixels. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve managed to do as a team. We’ve made a game that can scale to the user; a game that can work for young kids, incredibly athletic adults, and people who are more limited and have to play seated.”

In Unseen Diplomacy 2, players take on the role of a spymaster, leading their own elite agency while also getting their hands dirty out in the field in a 1990s inspired retro-futuristic setting with analog technology. Sneak around enemy bases to steal valuable intel and resources, sabotage their plans, and then successfully escape without being noticed. To fully immerse themselves into this role, players will physically crawl, roll under lasers, and dodge side to side while utilizing new gadgets, like the wire clippers, and wearing disguises to dupe the enemy. Those who prefer a less quiet approach can also utilize blow darts. To ensure every mission and campaign feels fresh, Triangular Pixels uses a new system that not only procedurally generates levels, but also tailors the experience based on the space you have and the actions you take.

Beyond the thrilling action, the spymaster’s job is to also manage the agency, adding a strategic layer to the game. Players recruit agents, manage resources, and deploy operatives on high-stakes missions to thwart rogue corporations, mad scientists and secret organizations threatening global stability. Every mission will bring you closer to uncovering the truth, and depending on the choices the players make, the road to success varies from playthrough to playthrough.

Key features:

  • High-stakes operations: utilize stealth, strategy, and quick thinking to steal assets, gather evidence, sabotage obstacles that will slice, dice, zap, crush, burn or call the guards, and escape unseen
  • Dynamic and replayable missions: every playthrough is unique, with missions providing fresh challenges. You can play through the Campaign or hop into Quick Play to do your daily exercise and keep track of your fitness journey
  • New  gameplay mechanics: in addition to the locomotion-based stealth, the game features clipping and rerouting wires, hacking computer terminals, enemy robots, disguises, photography, and shooting
  • Strategic spymaster gameplay: manage your agency, recruit agents, and deploy them on missions to gather intel and outmaneuver enemy counterspies
  • The Director Graph System: developed by Triangular Pixels, this system allows for generating dynamic, procedural levels that adapt to the play area, hardware, difficulty settings and gameplay preferences, as well as making the process of creating content much easier and allowing level designers to hand craft the flow of levels
  • Mixed reality integration: Meta Quest 3 players will be able to experience the spy world in their living space, blending the virtual with the real world.
  • Accessibility: The game comes with new support for those with tremors, one handed play, difficulty control and also supports those needing standing and seated play.

NES-Inspired Platformer ‘Everdeep Aurora’ Heads Underground for July 10 Launch

Wholesome Direct shares new trailer of beautiful 2D adventure for PC, Nintendo Switch

MADRID, SPAIN – June 7, 2025 – Everdeep Aurora, the lonely, desolate, yet hope-filled 2D adventure developed by Nautilus Games and published by Ysbryd Gamesmaps out a path to Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, July 10, 2025, as seen in today’s Wholesome Direct showcase.

After apocalyptic meteor showers drive civilization underground, young cat Shell finds herself alone on the destroyed planet’s surface. Emboldened by a letter from her missing mother, she sets off on a journey into the vast Everdeep, trusty drill in paw, to reunite with her family. Bore through procedurally generated stone tiles to create platforming opportunities as Shell’s journey leads to underground landforms, gardens, mansions, and mysteries.

Meet more than 20 of the Everdeep’s charming denizens, each with distinct musical themes, and fulfill their quests to earn their trust. Purchase new tools from Viktor’s pawn shop, but beware of Mur’s intention – despite their goofy nature and heart of gold, they might be just tricking Shell into doing their work. As Shell drills deeper and her newfound friends’ tunes fade from earshot, find comfort in the bonds they’ve created across a combat-free adventure.

Return to the nostalgia of consoles past with Everdeep Aurora’s retro graphics and sound design, limited color palette, and square interface inspired by the Nintendo Entertainment System. Fully immerse in the visual storytelling of Shell’s world through smoothly animated cutscenes and satisfying color-grading transitions differentiating the Everdeep’s biomes.

“When thinking about how to stage Shell’s journey underground into the confines of the Everdeep, we were confronted with the task of dreaming up a whole original civilization. We had to ask ourselves how its inhabitants would go about their lives in this new, unexplored home,” said Mikel Ojea, co-founder of Nautilus Games. “We ended up creating an extraordinary world that we’re proud to soon share with new explorers.”

Everdeep Aurora drills into Windows PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch on Thursday, July 10, for USD $19.99. It will support English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese text.

Possessor(s) Introduces Professor Foss and New Playable Demo!

During today’s Day of the Devs showcase, Heart Machine and Devolver introduced us to Professor Foss, a key character in Possessor(s) and the first of four intriguing personalities that we will learn more about ahead of the game’s launch on PC and consoles later this year. 

In Possessor(s) you will play as Luca, a high-schooler trapped in the ruins of Sanzu City. Professor Foss was one of her teachers. What is the mysterious research being performed in the basement laboratories of Luca’s old school, and what will Luca and her demon, Rhem, discover when they go to investigate? 

You needn’t wait long to find out! Players can now take their first steps into Sanzu – the crippled city that serves as a backdrop to the game’s events – in the first publicly playable demo, available now on Steam!   

In this demo, players are pitched into a sprawling, flooded city that has become overrun with surreal interdimensional horrors. Play as Luca, a teenage girl who survived a catastrophic demon attack on Sanzu, and Rhem, a demon who earned his freedom by escaping from Sanzu’s deepest laboratories. Other demons escaped, ripping the city apart, and nearly killed them both. Their only hope of survival lies in learning to co-exist.

Pick up combat basics, explore the Skyscraper and Park areas, and watch Luca and Rhem establish their difficult alliance in this early taste of what’s in store when Possessor(s) arrives later in 2025.

A Fractured World
Possessor(s) takes place across the interconnected sprawl of a destroyed mega-city, from collapsed skyscrapers to an abandoned aquarium, all riddled with secrets. Hauntingly beautiful 3D environments form a stunning backdrop over which hand-drawn and animated characters, and mysterious sci-fi horror action take center stage.

A Complex Narrative
Choose multiple paths in an open-ended world structure as you look to uncover the truth behind the catastrophe. Meet a cast of engaging characters, each with their own heart-breaking story to follow in the aftermath of the devastation.

A Precision Engagement
Gameplay is centered around tight, fast-paced platforming with a range of unique movement abilities that extends to its tense, precise, combat. Balance ground and air attacks, replete with combos and juggles as you encounter a variety of deadly enemies and challenging bosses. Find and unlock a wide array of powerful weapons and upgrades to bolster your arsenal and explore previously inaccessible areas.
