An intimate narrative game about loneliness, artificial intimacy, and the blurred line between comfort and control

Limerence: the human longing to love and be loved in return. But when AI can create the illusion of companionship, the lines between connection and imitation begin to blur.

London, UK – September 24th, 2026: Award-winning independent, narrative-led studio Salix Games today announced that Limerence, its intimate narrative title co-developed with Gameinaframe, will launch for PC on 29th October 2026.

Set entirely within a fictional smartphone interface, Limerence explores the uneasy overlap between authentically flawed human connections and AI-driven companionship. Players step into the life of Claire, a woman reeling from a deeply personal loss who turns to an AI relationship app, LiAIson, in search of comfort. There, she creates Kai – a partner tailored around her needs, desires, and emotional vulnerabilities.

What begins as a source of reassurance gradually becomes something more destabilising. As Claire’s digital relationship deepens and starts to bleed into her real life, players are forced to navigate the consequences of a bond built not on conflict and compromise, but on complete and utter devotion.

Check out the Limerence release date announcement trailer here!

Told through messages, voice notes, social feeds, and fragments of everyday digital life, Limerence is a story about intimacy without friction – and the emotional cost of choosing comfort over truth. As players uncover hidden tensions, revisit past interactions, and make quietly consequential decisions, they will shape Claire’s understanding of herself, her relationships, and the version of reality she is prepared to accept.

In doing so, Limerence asks a broader question: what happens when love no longer asks anything of us? When connection can be moulded around our every preference, and the vulnerability that gives real relationships their meaning is replaced by compliance, convenience and quiet control?

Dialogue in Limerence is fully scripted, with renowned actors – such as Samantha Béart (best known as Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3) – taking on the mantle of bringing the most pertinent ones to life. Indeed, all of the recordings have been captured on phones to preserve a sense of realism, immediacy, and emotional intimacy.

“I wasn’t inspired to make Limerence because I’d experienced limerence myself, but because I’d seen the effect that kind of intense attachment can have on people close to me,” said Jessica Saunders, founder of Salix Games.

“Watching friends become consumed by relationships that were unhealthy, obsessive, and difficult to let go of made me want to explore those emotions through an interactive story. AI felt like a natural lens for that, because it opens up difficult questions about intimacy, dependency, and what happens when companionship can be shaped entirely around your own needs. Ultimately, Limerence is about loneliness, vulnerability, and the comfort – and danger – of believing in something because you need it to be real.”

In Limerence, players will:

• Explore a fully simulated smartphone interface filled with messages, apps, and social feeds
• Build a relationship with an AI companion, Kai, whose personality responds to Claire’s choices
• Re-evaluate past conversations and memories as new information reshapes their meaning
• Make subtle decisions that influence Claire’s relationships, self-perception, and emotional trajectory
• Uncover hidden details buried within everyday digital life, and decide which truths are worth confronting
• Experience a relationship designed to understand Claire completely – and question what connection means when it can never challenge, reject or leave her

Limerence launches for PC on 29th October 2026.

Meet Ichihashi Jirou, a sex drive scholar at St. Orgies’ Private Academy. He decided to offer up his dick and semen for use in the Perversion Department’s practicums in exchange for all sorts of perks. But as a virgin, he’s very particular about who his very first partner will be.

Living right next door to Jirou is the Maezono household——a family of legendary perverts from the single mother to each of her four daughters. When the eldest Maezono daughter, Chihiro, catches Jirou masturbating one day, it isn’t long before the entire household discovers that he’s a virgin.

Now, an esteemed family of perverts like the Maezonos can’t possibly stand by while a defenseless virgin like Jirou remains unmolested! Now that they’ve set their perverted sights on him…

…It’s fuck or be fucked!

So Jirou decides he’ll have his first time with one of the lovely Maezono ladies, but will that choice really be so simple?

• A Healthy Cast of Neighborly Hentais — The cast returns from the previous two Healthy Hentai titles including both the Maezono family and members of the Office of Sexual Affairs.

New machines and features available in picturesque Green Thorn Valley add plenty of options to quench your thirst for authentic farm life

Oberhaching, Germany, September 23, 2026 – Green Thorn Valley, the picturesque location of the popular farming-sim/life-sim Farmer’s Dynasty 2 keeps on growing. With the latest free update, development team UMEO Studios and German indie publisher Toplitz Productions add new activities, new machinery and new features, giving the farming adventure in an open world more depth.

Among other things, the ‘Mowing Update’ introduces grass as a new crop. It follows its own growth cycle, reaching mowing readiness after 30 days, with cultivated fields carrying a greater yield than naturally growing grass. Cut grass also has a humidity factor and dries gradually in suitable weather, with visual dryness indicators. Crops like barley and oats also leaving straw now after harvesting, adds yet another layer to the farming experience.

To support the grass workflow, farmers can now use a wide range of new machines across both playable time eras, with the modern-era ride-on mower leading the pack. This nimble but powerful machine is a fast and agile option for smaller spaces around the farm and carries another perk: Cut grass is transferred directly into the inventory, instead of being left for baling.

Additionally, a wide variety of changes and bug fixes is introduced. Functionality of attached mowing machinery and equipment has been improved, while the dealerships have been re-stocked with available vehicles. Workers can be ordered to sow and also harvest and sell the grass, if suitable equipment is available.

Farmer’s Dynasty 2 (incl. the ‘Mowing Update’) is available in Early Access on PC via Steam, GOG.com and Epic Games Store. More information on the game can be found on the respective store pages. Join our official Discord to get the latest news on Farmer’s Dynasty 2 and stay up-to-date on all the other projects from Toplitz Productions.

The Halloween Massacre runs 1–31 October 2026 and hands every player a weapon that ignores stats entirely.

The Fifth Family, the free-to-play mafia RPG that launched in March 2026, today announced the Halloween Massacre — a month-long in-game event running from 1 to 31 October 2026 across browser, iOS and Android.

Play free: https://www.thefifthfamily.com/

At the centre of it is Halloween Spirit, a consumable that removes the usual rules of combat. Spending one instantly hospitalises any rival the player chooses, regardless of how far apart their stats sit. It costs no stamina and ignores the daily fight limit, which means a level 20 newcomer can put a level 200 veteran on the hospital floor. Each landed hit is worth +1 Event Score and 10 Pumpkin Coins, and a player may hit any given rival once per day.

Spirit is earned rather than bought. The first successful crime, intel job and career shift each day are each guaranteed to drop one, and every success after that rolls for more against a shared daily cap that doubles at weekends. Nothing in the event is sold for real money.

Gear that grows with the player

Every item in the event uses the game’s Variable Rarity system. A piece starts at Common and climbs through ten rarities to Fifth Family Mythic by level 180, so the same reward scales to whoever owns it — a new player and a veteran both receive something useful. All Halloween equipment is permanent and untradeable.

The rewards include five costumes, the seven-piece Reaper Set, two Legendary pets, an exclusive Día de Muertos motorcycle, a profile frame and two badges. Six Reaper Set pieces are available in the Pumpkin Coin Shop, with the seventh, Reaper’s Finger, earned at Score 150. A full Mythic set grants +10.5% Agility and Dexterity.

What is in the event

• 31 days of login calendar rewards, claimable through to 1 November.
• 16 score milestones paying 3,000 Pumpkin Coins in total plus gear, pets and a badge.
• 34 items in the Pumpkin Coin Shop.
• 14 exclusive gear items and 2 Legendary pets.
• Two competitions running side by side — a global leaderboard, and a separate internal contest inside each player-created family.

About The Fifth Family

The Fifth Family is a free-to-play mafia RPG playable in any browser and through native iOS and Android apps that share one account and one world. Launched on 29 March 2026, it spans ten city districts, 100 crimes and 100 legitimate careers, with stat-driven PvP, player-run families, rackets, property, smuggling, heists and a player-driven item market.

Among Shadows, the asymmetric PvP social deduction game set during an ancient apocalyptic infection from TMXN Games, unmasks enemies on PC via Steam on Q4 2026.  Stave off infection and slay monsters while watching out for traitors in the new Steam Next Fest demo, running 19 October – 26 October.

Investigate a plague-ridden kingdom as an Envoy of the Order of the Secret Fire and halt a mysterious infection within three days. When the sun rises, seek clues, gather resources, and use workbenches to upgrade gear or craft tools in preparation for the battles ahead.  Choose from ten distinct jobs inspired by diverse cultures and challenge corrupted bosses in fast-paced soulslike combat. Wield a lethal blade as a Japanese Samurai, deliver a powerful holy strike as a medieval Paladin, or conjure a swirling hurricane as a shamanistic Wind Whistler. 

Defeat three challenging bosses or keep the infection score below the required threshold to save the country within three days as an Envoy. If the score remains within the danger zone, the Blood Moon rises and awakens the undead on the final day. 

 Confront the hordes of rotten creatures alongside fellow Envoys in hack-and-slash combat. Defend the Convoy from relentless assaults to obtain victory as the Envoys, or seize control of the battlefield as an Apostle and assassinate the Lord at any cost to secure a bloody triumph.

Purify infected wells alongside fellow Envoys: each well requires votes from multiple players to complete the purification process. Underworld Apostles, disguised players aiming to spread corruption, secretly coordinate to sabotage these efforts.

As one of these hidden traitors, contaminate wells to increase the Infection Score at the risk of exposure, or support purification to conceal the disguise while planning for the Envoys’ downfall.  When night falls, the party calls a Judgment: each member casts a vote to root out possible traitors. Eliminate the Underworld Apostles, or inadvertently allow evil to live another day.

Among Shadows will launch on PC via Steam Early Access in Q4 2026 for $10.99, including language support for English, Korean, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
