Deckbuild your own Dungeon in Into the Restless Ruins, Out Now

Cardiff, Wales — May 15, 2025 | Ant Workshop and Wales Interactive are thrilled to announce that Into the Restless Ruins, the roguelike deckbuilder rooted in Scottish folklore, is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Into the Restless Ruins blends strategic deckbuilding with dungeon crawling, offering players the ability to create their own dungeon using a deck of cards, then auto-battling through the challenges they’ve constructed. Every card played shapes the dungeon’s layout, adds buffs or curses, and affects the outcome of each run.

Players begin their descent into the ruins in Eorisdale, the game’s introductory level. Here, players construct their first dungeon, encounter a curated selection of cards, enemies, and upgrades, and meet unforgettable NPCs like the Hen Wife and the Wulver, who offer critical boosts and card enhancements. At the end of the level, you’ll face The Grey Man (Am Fear Liath Mòr), a powerful boss drawn from Scottish folklore.

Will you conquer the ruins?
The Ruins have so much for you to explore and discover with 116 cards across 7 categories, 6 distinct ruins, and 62 creatures to face, including 6 bosses inspired by Scottish folklore. Players will also discover 40 passive charms to shape their strategy, 38 Cantrips to modify gameplay and increase rewards, and 12 weapons to unlock and master. The deeper you go, the more complex the strategy becomes, with new relics, card synergies, and meta-progression unlocking new ways to conquer the ruins.

“We’ve really enjoyed bringing the world of Scottish myth and folklore to life, and it’s been great seeing player reaction to the demo.” said Tony Gowland — Lead Developer and MD of Ant Workshop. “We can’t wait to see you discover all the secrets, cards, charms, and wee beasties in the full game!”

Into the Restless Ruins is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch for £12.99 / $14.99.

SpecialEffect Announce The First Of Their Eye Gaze Accessible Games For Mobile Devices

May 15th, 2025 – On this Global Accessibility Awareness Day, BAFTA-winning gamers’ charity SpecialEffect are announcing the expected summer release of Open Drive, the first title from their collection of games for mobile devices. Taken from their Eye Gaze Games website (www.eyegazegames.com) for PC, the release of the driving game as a free app on iOS and Android will allow players to play on more devices using eye movement alone.

Assistive eye gaze cameras have inbuilt infrared cameras that track and convert eye movement into a cursor position on the screen. ‘Clicking’ or ‘Tapping’ is possible by dwelling (staring at the screen for a certain length of time) on the cursor’s current location. Previously only available for Microsoft Windows, assistive eye gaze cameras are now also available for the iOS and Android platforms.

Using a compatible eye gaze camera with Open Drive, players can steer by looking to the left and right of their vehicle to collect orbs, make jumps and explore the Stunt, Speed, Snow and Meadow worlds. In addition to eye gaze, the game also supports other input methods to increase the motor accessibility of the game. These include the use of accessibility switches, game controllers, keyboard keys and mice, which are also now supported on iOS and Android, alongside touch.

The Open Drive app will recognise which input device is being used on the device and then automatically configure the appropriate control scheme for the player. Gameplay can also be customised, with players able to adjust the gameplay speed to play at a pace that suits them. Slowing the game down will give players more time to line up jumps, catch orbs and respond to the route ahead.

Dr Mick Donegan, Founder and CEO of SpecialEffect, commented, “Globally there are over three billion people who play mobile games on their smart phones or tablets. Even though the devices themselves are becoming increasingly accessible to people living with physical challenges, most mobile games can still only be played using touch control or, in some cases a gamepad. It’s for this reason that we have capitalised on this greater accessibility to develop a suite of mobile apps which we hope will be enjoyed by many people with even the most severe physical challenges. We also hope that the games will inspire the mobile games industry to make their own games more accessible, and enjoyable, for people with physical challenges.”

Following the release of this first app, more games from their catalogue will follow. From board games, like Chess, Checkers and 4 in a Row, to their marble popper title Mole Miners, the space racing game EyeDrive, and a new tower defence game, titled Badger Badger. Feedback from players will be welcomed, to continue to improve the accessibility of the games.

As well as offering eye gaze and motor accessible games to players, SpecialEffect hope that the games can be an example to game developers on how more input methods, like eye gaze, can be supported on mobile devices. Working with Sun & Moon Studios as developers, the teams have collaborated on utilising accessibility features such as ‘Assistive Touch’ on iOS and ‘Switch Access’ on Android. The process has also given the team at SpecialEffect a greater insight into the challenges of developing games, helping inform their developer resources, such as the SpecialEffect DevKit (https://specialeffectdevkit.info/).

Alongside the creation of games for mobile devices, SpecialEffect continue to update their Eye Gaze Games website (www.eyegazegames.com) for PC users, with new features, updates and games. Like the Open Drive app, in addition to eye gaze, the website supports other input methods. Again, these include switch control, game controllers, keyboard, mouse and touch inputs.

Open Drive is expected to be available in the summer, and will be available to download for free (with no in-app purchases) on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play Store (Android).

“This is a rare and exciting meeting of two creative minds who have reshaped their respective industries,” said SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “Kojima and Miller’s shared love of cinema and storytelling will make for an unforgettable conversation at this year’s Festival.”

Head of Screen NSW Kyas Hepworth said, “The Sydney Film Festival continues to push the boundaries of storytelling, and this unmissable event is a testament to their bold vision. Screen NSW is thrilled to support this world exclusive in-conversation event with Australian icon Dr George Miller and renowned video game creator Hideo Kojima, which highlights the synergies across the NSW Screen and Digital Games Strategy, the Sydney Film Festival, and the screen and digital games industry.

Sydney, Australia – Australian publisher and developer, DigitallyDownloaded.net, has announced their first title, The Last Waltz, a visual novel that invites the player into the vibrant world of Dancesport, which will release in late 2025.

Set against the backdrop of glittering ballrooms and intense rehearsals, the story delves deep into what drives competitors in this unique sport that blends athleticism and artistry.

“This is a story that I’ve wanted to tell for more than 15 years, ever since I discovered Dancesport myself, and the stars have finally aligned to make it happen,” Producer, Matt Sainsbury, said. 

“I’ve been fortunate to find an artist to do the incredible complexities of Dancesport justice, a music team to create a 35-track, authentic Dancesport soundtrack, and worked with some world standard dancers to bring video into the visual novel and, hopefully, introduce a sport to people that may never have seen it before.”
