Melbourne, Australia – Cyber Paradise by DDmeow Games has just wrapped up the exhibition at New Game Plus as an official selection of the London Games Festival (LGF). The team is happy to announce that the game will also be exhibited at Trafalgar Square Games Festival on 11 April for those who missed New Game Plus!

Main Game Overview

Cyber Paradise is a 2D action roguelite adventure game set in the future where reality is exposed as a mere computer simulation. Every aspect of life is pre-determined by algorithms. When people die, their data is deleted, discarded into The Lost Sector.

Amidst the despair, you play as Hayley, a hacker-warrior accompanied by her dog, DDmeow. Your mission is to fight in the Lost Sector, retrieve lost memories, and rebuild them into a digital sanctuary—a cyber paradise.

Your first job comes from Samuel, the owner of Mini’s Cafe. You’re tasked to retrieve the memories of his late dog, Mini. Between battles, you return to Mini’s cafe for a break, where stories from its patrons, alongside fragments of Mini’s memories, slowly unravel the mystery of this dystopian world.

Cyber Paradise Special Edition Demo – Addition of a Robin Hood’s Medieval England-Themed Area

DDmeow Games exhibited a special edition demo at New Game Plus, adding a bonus “Medieval England Area” last week. This additional content is brought to you with the historically researched background of Red Rebellion, a narrative adventure game set in medieval England where female Robin Hood and Red Riding Hood team up to save their town.

The same demo will be exhibited at Trafalgar Square Games Festival. Experience the intriguing history of medieval England in this cyberpunk simulation. Example scenes like:

• The Turnspit Dog: A dog-powered rotisserie. Witness this giant invention where a dog runs inside a wheel to turn the pit, to cook the meat evenly.
• Table Manners: Medieval women had to follow strict rules, or every gesture could be interpreted in unexpected ways.

TOKYO — April 8th, 2025 — Omega Crafter, the co-op open-world survival crafting adventure developed by Preferred Networks, Inc. (PFN), merges action with automation in a heroic code-infused quest as it launches into 1.0 on PC via Steam Wednesday, May 14, 2025.

Can the top engineer on a game design team save the developing virtual world from malicious programs manifesting as in-game monsters? Enter the game solo or form a debugging committee with five additional friends alongside sidekick Grammi, and begin a bespoke journey through five procedurally-generated digital landscapes — filled with distinct enemies, items, and resources — creating new adventures in every instance. 

In 1.0, survive meteor showers amidst futuristic ruins in the all-new fifth biome, The Lost World. Assemble a radar from discovered spare parts to track meteor cycles, and take refuge underneath towers during each shower of rocky rain. Uncover the locations of twenty-five Shrines of Programming dispersed throughout Omega Crafter’s world, where coding acumen can unlock new skills and exclusive items.

Uncover the root cause of Omega Crafter’s mysterious buggy behavior…after learning to survive the digital realm! Learn the basics of shelter, weaponry, and dungeon-diving in the Meadows of New Beginnings, then upgrade gear along the way to best each biome’s boss in battle and advance to the next world. Explore the edges of the Endless Wilds, face the fearsome Halloween Forest, and journey to Japan-inspired Fallen Samurai Isle. 

Cultivate a cozy village, fashion a fully-functioning metropolis, and anything in between with the new Creative Mode featuring 250+ building elements and no resource restrictions. Enjoy additional quality-of-life improvements such as simplified item searching with the new Reverse Item Lookup List, added skills, minigames, items, an improved tutorial, updated background music, and much more.

No journey is too arduous with Grammi’s help! Program behaviors that speed up everyday tasks with both simple and complex automation options: activate simple single-click behaviors like automatic resource-gathering, or program multi-step behaviors with “if/then” sequences, variables, and error detection. With the right commands, Grammi can chop down trees, turn trees into lumber, and place resources into storage bins with a single command! 

Enjoy Omega Crafter’s epic battle themes and relaxing melodies outside of the game with the original soundtrack available for purchase at launch, featuring 19 original tracks. 

Omega Crafter arrives on PC via Steam for $24.99, with language support in Japanese, English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), German, and French, as well as machine-translated Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, Korean, and Russian.

The terrifying 1980s-inspired survival-horror experience filters its way through VHS static and onto Steam.

Reviving the 80s Midnight Madness aesthetic- – Blight Night, the lo-fi, synth-drenched survival-horror game, from solo developer Nick Duttweiler, is launching into full release this 29th of April 2025, on Steam.

Steeped in CRT scanlines and soaked in sinister nostalgia, Blight Night is a love letter to VHS-era horror – complete with twisted creatures, desolate towns, and mysteries that should’ve stayed buried. You play as Sonny Barstow, a lone survivor navigating the haunted ruins of Golden Springs, where light is fleeting, ammo is rare, and the shadows hide something worse than death.

Players can expect terrifying, powerful bosses, puzzles, and expanded areas to further unravel the chilling lore behind Golden Springs. With a demo available to play now, the full game will ramp up the tension, throw new horrors into the mix, and give players even more reasons to return to the fog-soaked streets of the West Texas wasteland.

FACE THE NIGHTMARE – AND ALL THAT COMES NEXT

• Explore, Solve, Survive: Navigate dark, haunted ruins and search every shadow for supplies or secrets.
• Retro Horror, Modern Fear: A third-person survival-horror adventure built to feel like a lost 80s game pulled from your uncle’s attic.
• Fight or Flee: Enemies hit hard and never come alone. You’ll need to pick your battles with a wide selection of weapons… or you can just run like hell.
• The Light is your lifeline: Stay in the dark too long, and your voice will never be heard again.
• Dripping with Dread: From the distorted visuals to the synth-laced soundtrack, everything is designed to unnerve and immerse.

Developed over eight years as a passion project, Blight Night channels the spirit of survival-horror classics with a uniquely eerie aesthetic that sets it apart. This is more than a game – this is what happens when nostalgia turns rotten.

Blight Night is available to wishlist now on Steam. Clock in, light up, and prepare to face the night.
