VIVA LA DIRT LEAGUE’S DEBUT GAME, NICE DAY FOR FISHING, LAUNCHES TODAY

Set sail as the hilarious pixel RPG fishing adventure casts off onto Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, and PC! 

29th May 2025 – Team17 Digital and FusionPlay today launch Viva La Dirt League’s quirky and hilarious RPG fishing adventure, Nice Day for Fishing today on Steam, PlayStation®5 and Nintendo Switch™. Explore the town of Honeywood, from their hit YouTube series, Epic NPC Man and discover what lies far beneath its lakes and oceans! Defeat bosses, muggers, and an absolute carp-load of fish!

Set in a universe that fans of Viva La Dirt League will instantly recognise, Nice Day for Fishing captures the charm and humour of the Epic NPC Man series, complete with familiar faces, classic tropes, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling.

Dive beneath the surface of lakes, oceans and an eerie underwater cave to battle aquatic creatures, level up, and gear up for even greater challenges. Your fishing rod is your weapon, your hat is your armour, and your jewellery gives you the extra boost you need to survive the depths. Unlock and upgrade powerful magic spells to turn the tide in epic boss fights—and when things get rough, a well-timed potion might just save your skin.

Your journey centers around Honeywood, a charming NPC village with plenty of personality. Help its quirky residents, take on quests, and upgrade your equipment or shops with the help of local tradesfolk. Whether you’re buying a new fishing rod, selling your catch, or chatting with familiar faces, Honeywood is your adventurer’s haven.

The adventure spans the surface and the shadowy world below. As you acquire better gear, you’ll unlock access to deeper regions, navigating pitch-black caverns, a boiling underwater volcano, a shimmering crystal cave, and the vast expanse of the open ocean. What looks like a simple lake at first reveals more depth as you improve your equipment, including the ability to freely navigate underwater, giving you full control of your hook to explore every corner and uncover hidden secrets.

It’s a Nice Day for Fishing, ain’t it?

Key Features:

  • Explore the enchanting lands of Azerim – Journey from Honeywood Forest to the Azerim coast, where you’ll be tasked with quests fit for an Adventurer, meet characters straight from the Epic NPC Man series, and find new fish to catch.
  • Epic RPG fishing battles – Engage in fearless fishing battles to increase your strength and unlock spells to use against your aquatic adversaries.
  • Engage in the Ultimate Hero Experience – His rod is his weapon; his boat is his steed, and his hat is his armour. Every Adventurer deserves powerful tools for their quest! Rebuild Honeywood from materials dredged up from the seas and unlock merchants to upgrade your gear.
  • Complete your fishing collection – Prove yourself worthy to the mighty fishing God by offering completed collections from each region at his statue and receive your blessings of powerful spells. 

Nice Day for Fishing is available for $19.99/£19.99/€19.99 across all available platforms.

Psychological Horror Game Baptiste to Launch Kickstarter Campaign This Summer

Your chance to be part of the development journey, with stunning physical editions and spine-tingling rewards available

Spain – 29 May, 2025. Indie publisher Firenut Games and the dark minds at Digital Dream invite you to step into the shadows with Baptiste, a chilling psychological horror experience coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Beginning this summer, fans can plunge deeper into the nightmare by supporting the official Baptiste Kickstarter campaign, a front-row seat to help shape the future development of the game.

Baptiste tells the chilling story of Sara and her son Tom, who are devastated by a family tragedy and seek a new start at Jagged Shore Cliff, a remote place perched high on a cliff in the United Kingdom. Instead of a fresh start, their worst nightmares are about to unfold, plunging them into a terrifying battle for survival. 

Fuelled by overwhelming early support from horror fans and gamers alike, Firenut Games is unlocking the doors to deeper development with its Kickstarter campaign. This is your chance to summon even more dread into the game with supporters of the campaign gaining access to exclusive physical Standard and Collector’s Editions, and further rewards tailored to horror fans. 

The official campaign date will be revealed soon, but early registration is open now. Sign up and be the first to know when the shadows stir. Are you ready to help shape the nightmare?

Devastated by a family tragedy, Sara and her son, Tom, seek a new start at Jagged Shore Cliff, a remote location situated high on a cliff in the United Kingdom. As they explore their mysterious new house, they discover a dusty cabinet that holds Baptiste, an unsettling doll locked behind the glass. Attached to the cabinet is an ominous warning: “Never release this from its glass prison.” 

What should have been a shelter becomes the scene of their worst nightmares. What happens next defies all logic, putting their sanity and desire to survive to the test. 

Features: 

  • Total immersion: Immerse yourself in a first-hand experience that will make you feel each chill as if it were real. The line between the game and reality blurs further with each step you take. 
  • Suffocating atmosphere: Explore a mansion where horror lurks in every shadow. The masterful dubbing and sound track will drag you to the depths of a nightmare. Darkness will become your most feared enemy, putting your bravery to the test at each corner you encounter.  
  • Tormented protagonist: Play as Tom, a young man still suffering from the tragedy. After the loss of his father, he accompanies his mother on what should to be a new beginning. However, the ghosts of the past threaten to consume him. Can you keep control against the siege of his inner demons? 
  • Bloodthirsty mysteries: Disentangle the gruesome secrets that impregnate each floorboard and every crack on the walls. Each discovery will reveal a story of pain and horror that is beyond belief. 
  • Disturbing aesthetic: step into a world where beauty and terror coexist in a macabre dance. The visual design will transport you to a kingdom where the grotesque is fascinating. 
  • Surrounding narrative: Each objective, each note and each whisper weave a terrifying plot. Your perseverance in the face of fear will be rewarded with chilling revelations that will keep you on edge until the very end. 

Baptiste will launch for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X later this year. Download the PC Steam demo and add the game to your Wishlist now!

In a future over one hundred years hence…

All the people in the world have awakened to unique abilities called ‘Dunamis’. As these special powers become rooted in people’s everyday lives, their value system changes, and those who lack powers are the ones who are treated as strange.
With the passing of the ages, the environment has changed completely, while society has greatly regressed. The overall population of mankind has diminished as well, and most of the world is made up of wastelands and greenery dotted with the weathered ruins of the world before.

The City of Raillore.

With brickwork buildings like those of the Middle Ages, developed over land graced with lush greenery and rivers. With the concept of nations gone from the world, Raillore exists as something of a self-sufficient commune.
The Order of Security and Regulatory Knights – AKA the Regulatory Corps – serves as a government organization in charge of handling crime prevention and other tasks that require force of arms.

But things begin to change as odd incidents take place, one after another…

Those possessing abilities different from those of Dunamis begin to appear. The people fear this power and the phenomena it causes, and those capable of it are designated as ‘Errors’. The sudden appearance of these Errors is regarded as a disease, and the handling of Errors is placed under the jurisdiction of the Regulatory Corps.
As people tremble in fear of the vicissitudes of the changing times, there are those who try to open a way to the future with their own strength…

Key Features

  • Dual protagonists: Follow the story’s two protagonists, Gradric and Reno, for unique perspectives on events.
  • Impressive special effects: 3rdEye pulls out all the stops in Pillagers of Raillore, employing a wide variety of effects and animations to provide an exciting and novel experience.
