Indulge in eternal torment with morbid humor and hack-and-slash combat

LOS ANGELES (March 26, 2025) — Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment (Dicefolk, Monster Train) and developer Violet Saint today announced that Moroi, a dark fantasy hack-and-slash adventure inspired by Romanian folklore, heavy metal and Lynchian surrealism, will officially launch on PC via Steam on April 30 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518410/Moroi/).

Embrace the demented world of Moroi with its new release date trailer.

In Moroi’s Cosmic Engine, a beast of forever-stretching corridors, rusted gears, and rotting flesh, you find yourself trapped. Your name, your sins, your past, all vacant in your memory. Claw your way through this realm of torment and greet the grotesque inhabitants whose dark-as-night humor is the only silver lining. Cling to your sanity in an otherwise deteriorating existence styled as grimdark fantasy, a subgenre of fiction distinguished by bleak, dystopian settings and scenarios.

In this place, violence seems like a currency. Moroi’s battalions of mages, golden guards, and the cursed dead all march to the rhythm of a nightmare, and you are caught in the tempo. Defend yourself by wielding unorthodox weaponry such as the vicious teeth of a sentient duck, or shower enemies with added projectiles thanks to the aid of a powerful moon. Around every corner, something new, something terrible awaits.

Beyond the bloody thrill of combat, the Cosmic Engine weaves puzzles into your path, brain-bending challenges that demand more than wit. For example, drink blood to open a door, induce regurgitation to reveal a new path, or dig through the insides of some poor soul to grant your passage. Every answer is a sacrifice, every solution, a wound. Engage with the Cosmic’s eccentric, absurd, and damned denizens, uncovering the reality of its cruel nature while grasping at fleeting moments of laughter amid the darkness.

Escape is your only hope, the key to uncovering the grim truths that bind you. But tread carefully – the choices you make will carve your path toward one of multiple endings, shaping a fate that may prove more harrowing than the Cosmic Engine itself.

Stay up to date on the macabre reality of Moroi by following Good Shepherd Entertainment on Bluesky @GoodShepherd.Games.

Moroi is the debut title from Violet Saint, led by Alexandru Stănescu, a Romanian-born and Swiss-based dev. As a veteran Unreal Engine Artist, making Moroi is a dream (or nightmare) come true.

Explore a nightmare world aboard a living (and hungry) train serving as a roaming base

BARCELONA, Spain – March 26, 2025 – RailGods of Hysterra, a cooperative base-building survival action game set in a twisted Lovecraftian dreamscape from developer Troglobytes Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, leaves the station and heads into the mysterious wilds of Early Access Wednesday, April 23 2025.

Venture forth alone or with up to four friends into a world of waking nightmares, where the Old Gods of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos emerged victorious, twisting the earth and its inhabitants into unspeakable horrors. Defy their might by forging a bond with a powerful RailGod, an ancient abomination from beyond the stars fused with a mighty locomotive.

Board the train and expand it with custom cars for storage, loot, and workbenches. Navigate shifting hellscapes armed with axes, firearms, and spells, battling eldritch horrors and fanatical cultists — or capture them to feed the wheeled monstrosity. Seek the RailGod’s pounding heart to purge the creeping madness and unlock devastating GodKeeper abilities.

Resist mental torment while foraging for new materials and clues, then return to the RailGod to purge the mind of unearthly visions, develop new skills, and gear up for the next adventure. While the journey is long, this rolling base of operations is never far away – but remember, it always needs to feed… and it has a taste for flesh.

What’s New in Early Access

• Improved Ranged Combat – Enhanced targeting, projectile mechanics, and responsiveness.
• Inventory Filters and Optimization – Streamlined item management for a better user experience.
• Polished Combat Feedback – More impactful hit reactions, animations, and combat feel.
• Madness Level Gameplay – Expanded mechanics tied to the Madness system, adding new strategic elements.

“We at Troglobytes are thrilled to invite all players to get on board the RailGod and wander through the Lovecraftian world we crafted with so much love and passion! See you all in Hysterra, and remember: Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!” said Saverio Caporusso, CEO and Lead Designer at Troglobytes Games.

RailGods of Hysterra is coming to Steam Early Access Wednesday, April 23, 2025, followed by PlayStation 5, and will support English, French, German, Russian, Spanish – Spain, Portuguese – Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Turkish languages.

Sharpen your harpoons, load your shotguns, and prepare for a high-seas massacre of epic proportions! Captain Wayne is here to turn the oceans red!

Macclesfield, UK – 26th March, 2025 – Silver Lining Interactive is thrilled to announce a new ‘partner-ship’ with developer Ciaran Games LLC to publish the gloriously violent retro shooter Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation to PC via Steam later this year. Hand-drawn and dripping with attitude, this game delivers old-school shooter carnage with a swashbuckling twin-barreled twist! Ready to get your hands dirty and do some good old-fashioned brawling? Set sail for the Steam page and download the Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation demo NOW! Lock, load, and let the carnage begin!

Feast your eyes on the mayhem! Watch the previously released Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation announcement trailer and witness the chaos for yourself below.

A Tide-Turning Crusade Across the Seven-and-a-Half Seas!

In this fast-action, blood-drenched FPS, you play as the infamous Captain Wayne, a cigar-chomping, revenge-fueled menace with a shotgun replacing his severed arm, countless explosives, a bad attitude and a knack for creative carnage. Stranded on Orca Isle after a brutal ambush, Wayne sets out to reclaim his stolen ship and unleash hell on the mercenary gang that wronged him – the ruthless “Killer Whales.”

Clad in hot pink, fueled by rage and rum, and wielding an arsenal fit for a sea-demon, Captain Wayne doesn’t just kill; he annihilates. Whether he’s blasting enemies into mist with his double-barreled palm, shredding them with his chain-gun fingers, or reducing them to chum with his explosive Boom Brew, every encounter is a symphony of destruction.

Oh, and let’s not forget the legend behind that shotgun arm. After a deadly clash with the fabled “Vampire Whale” cost him a limb, Wayne bolted “The Captain’s Ol’ Reliable” straight onto his stump and never looked back. Now, he’s got one goal: to make the Killer Whales regret the day they crossed him.

A treasure chest of features: 

• A brutal, stylized cartoon gore-fest, because who said bloodshed can’t be beautiful?
• A relentlessly chaotic soundtrack, louder than a cannon blast!
• 8 massive, enemy-packed areas across the treacherous Orca Isle.
• Hand-drawn, fully-voiced cinematics that bring Wayne’s unhinged antics to life.
• An arsenal of over-the-top weapons designed for maximum, messy destruction.
• Combat so fierce, the ocean itself might just split in half.

So, what the hell are you waiting for? Those Killer Whale scumbags aren’t gonna explode into a fine red mist on their own. Get ready to blast, burn, and butcher your way to vengeance when Captain Wayne – Vacation Desperation docks later this year! 

Captain Wayne is just getting started, so stay tuned for more explosive, blood-soaked updates as we get closer to launch!
