One More Game Serves Up Next Meat Lab Playtest for Body Swapping Co-op Roguelite, SWAPMEAT, Beginning March 6

Today, independent developer One More Game revealed the dates for its next Meat Lab playtest for SWAPMEAT, the ‘totally normal’ co-op roguelite third-person shooter where you swap body parts with the alien weirdos you fight to steal their abilities. Running from March 6-12, players can get a taste of the game’s newest updates and go hands-on with the latest and greatest advancements in alien meat technologies from Rangus Meats.

Players can sign up now for Meat Lab access to experience the game’s delightfully squishy – and surprisingly deep – meat-swapping gameplay mechanic at playSWAPMEAT.com. Currently in development for PC and macOS via Steam, eager Meat Scientists are encouraged to add SWAPMEAT to their Steam wishlist today.

The latest Meat Lab will run from March 6 at 10 a.m. PT through March 12 at 5 p.m. PT. Players who refer three friends will guarantee access for their entire squad (while supplies last).

The latest updates and improvements in this juicy new build include:

  • Dastardly New Factions – Face off against two brand-new enemy factions, the Mutants and Aliens, each with four devious enemy types. Blast them to chunky bits and claim their leftovers to augment your character with increasingly bizarre body parts and powerful new abilities.
  • A Whole New World – Discover the next planet on Rangus Meats’ harvest list, a Mutant homeworld teeming with danger. Even the most seasoned Meat Scientists will find this a tough cut to carve.
  • Story Progression – Take your first bite of SWAPMEAT‘s meaty plot. Founder Carl Rangus now offers Employee Rewards, tracking your progress and celebrating outstanding employees with recognition badges, and granting access to new areas and latent powers.
  • Mutated Abilities – Experiment with augmented mutations to create unique builds on the fly. Mix and match damage types – fire, ice, slime, electric, and kinetic – to different body parts for unexpectedly destructive results.
  • Rangus Meats Quality Control – Enjoy even tastier gameplay with a buffet of quality-of-life improvements, including:
    • Integrated voice chat
    • Full controller support
    • A new player health bar and re-tuned health system

About SWAPMEAT:

In SWAPMEAT, players step into the boots of Meat Scientists working for the multi-galactic corporation Rangus Meats. Your mission? Raid the weirdest worlds in the cosmos, engage in exhilarating third-person combat, harvest DNA samples from the locals, and extract the planets’ meat cores. Whether solo or with a four-player co-op squad, you’ll battle alien weirdos and beefy bosses for their meaty trophies. As you loot body parts – from heads and legs to torsos – you’ll enhance your character with game-changing abilities, switching up playstyles on the fly using Rangus Meats’ patented Smart Meat technology.

GlobalStep to Host High-Powered Panel at GDC 2025: “The Future of Gaming: The Next 1,000 Days”

Panel to Explore Industry Disruption, AI’s Role in Game Development, and Investment Trends

DALLAS, Texas – February 27, 2025 – GlobalStep, powering the future of video games through end-to-end creative and technical solutions, is bringing together some of the game industry’s top leaders for an exclusive panel discussion at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2025 in San Francisco.

We feel this is the right time to assemble some of the greatest and brightest minds in the games industry to talk about the best way to cope with these changes. This panel is not just a conversation—it’s a step toward actionable strategies that will enable studios to thrive in the future.”

The Cryptic Killer Strikes Again – Parallel Experiment Delayed To June 5th

26 FEBRUARY 2025 – Eleven Puzzles informs fans of Parallel Experiment that their co-op puzzle game faced unforeseen obstacles (did the Cryptic Killer have a hand in this!?) which significantly slowed their progress.

In their effort to deliver the game on time and to their high standards, they would have had to cut some “nice-to-have” elements: extra features, optional puzzles, and even the mobile version.

But players deserve to experience Parallel Experiment as they envisioned it from the beginning, so they’ve made the difficult decision to push the release to June 5th, 2025. This extra time will also allow the developers to polish every aspect of the game, ensuring a perfect Parallel Experiment experience on day one.

As a plus, mobile versions (iOS & Android) will also launch on the same day, making it even easier for players to find a co-op partner and escape the clutches of the Cryptic Killer together, as crossplay is possible across all platforms! (and a Nintendo Switch version will arrive later in the year!)

Two detectives, one deadly experiment, a race against time. ​​Each player only has one half of the puzzle.

Parallel Experiment is five times longer than their previous game and many times more mechanically complex. It features many new elements and puzzles unlike anything you’ve seen before. Playtesting sessions have produced rave reactions, hindered only by the unpolished state of some areas. With the extra time to smooth out the experience, you’ll be playing something truly special when June comes around!

(imagine this is the devs polishing the game 😉)You can look forward to a new trailer in ~2 weeks, with the updated release date, but we wanted to inform press, media & players ahead of time and to also explain why review codes haven’t been sent out yet. Speaking of which…

Press & creators looking to solve co-op mysteries together can request 2 game codes now. There is even a puzzle surprise at the end of the form: If you can crack the optional puzzle box, you’ll get access to exclusive in-game content!

Steam Page: store.steampowered.com/app/2012320/Parallel_Experiment

​About the Game

Parallel Experiment is a 2-player cooperative puzzle game with escape room-like elements. Players take on the roles of two detectives who are often separated, each with different clues, and must work together to solve puzzles.

It’s a noir-inspired adventure with a comic book art style, featuring detectives Ally and Old Dog. While following the trail of the dangerous Cryptic Killer, they suddenly become his targets and are now unwilling participants in his twisted experiment.

It has a variety of innovative puzzles that push the boundaries of cooperative puzzle design, offering puzzles never seen before in other games.

Key Features

Two Player Co-Op
In Parallel Experiment, players must rely on their communication skills as they’re separated and must each discover unique clues that are vital for solving puzzles on the other end. Teamwork is essential to crack the Cryptic Killer’s codes.

Challenging Collaborative Puzzles
There are over 80 puzzles striking the perfect balance between challenging yet fair. But you’re not facing them on your own! Communicate with your partner on how to best proceed, solve a puzzle on your end that unlocks the next step for them and discover a wide variety of puzzles from redirecting water flows, finding computer passwords and unlocking intricate locks, to deciphering cryptic ciphers, soldering electronic components, and even waking up a drunk!

Two Can Play That Game
Looking for a break from the main investigation? Dive into a variety of retro-inspired mini-games designed with a fresh cooperative twist. Challenge each other to darts, Three in a Row, Match Three, Claw Machine, Push and Pull, and more. Think you know these classics? We’ve reinvented them for a whole new co-op experience

Cooperative Dialogues
Uncover vital clues through collaborative conversations. NPCs respond dynamically to each player, offering new layers of interaction that only teamwork can unravel. Some conversations are puzzles in themselves that you need to solve together!

Noir-Inspired Comic Book Art
Explore hand-drawn environments that look like they’ve leapt straight off the pages of a comic book.

Annoy Each Other
​This is a key feature? Yes. Yes, it is. ​
​Each level will have some way for players to annoy their co-op partner: knock on a window to distract them, poke them, make their screens shake. You already know you’ll be doing this just by reading it, right?

Draw on… Everything!
Every detective needs a notebook. In Parallel Experiment, players can jot down notes, sketch solutions, and interact with the environment in creative ways. But we all know what you’re going to draw first…

MangaGamer Releases Beat Valkyrie Ixseal!

Can the Demon King and a Valkyrie sent to slay him save Earth together?!

TOKYO – February 27th, 2025 – Today MangaGamer released Alicesoft’s Beat Valkyrie Ixseal. This latest addition to the Beat series will be available on MangaGamer for $44.95 MSRP.

Oudou Tsuguhiko is a student who believes he is the reincarnation of the Demon King, and is waiting for the time when he can fully regain his powers. Yet when that time finally comes, he’s attacked by the valkyrie Ixseal, and further betrayed by his Demonic Chancellor Bezel. With Bezel managing to steal six of Tsuguhiko’s dark powers, he’s left with nothing but the power of Lust.

Promotional Website: Webpage

Fortunately for Tsuguhiko, Ixseal has also been stranded on Earth, isolated from the heavens and her source of power, by the Wargrim, Bezel’s army. With no other choice available to them, the two forge a wary alliance, using Tsuguhiko’s remaining power of Lust to grant Ixseal the power she needs to fight back against Bezel and the Wargrim.

Key Features:

  • Erotic Fun, Win or Lose: Enjoy a countless, wide variety of erotic scenes with the two main heroines, whether it’s celebrating your victories, powering them up for their next fight, or watching the demonic generals representing the deadly sins take advantage of them in their defeat.
  • Raising Sim: Manage your time wisely and balance your efforts and energy between improving the heroines’ stats and skills through sex, clearing the city of evil minions, and defeating the demonic generals to restore peace to the world.
  • Turn-Based Battle With Skill Management: Balance and set your attacks, skills, and defenses before every turn-based battle in order to eliminate your enemies most efficiently.
  • Strong Character Development: Uncover the heroines’ backstories as their relationship with Tsuguhiko grows and evolves throughout the game based on their treatment as well.

Will the alliance between these two foes last long enough for both Tsuguhiko and Ixseal to achieve their goals? Or will the Earth and Ixseal fall to the evil hands of Bezel’s army?
