About Welcome to Elderfield

Welcome to Elderfield is a cozy horror RPG where the abnormal is normal, the townsfolk are odd, the eldritch beings watch over you and the local news reports seem stranger by the day. 

Cozy distractions from the horrors around you

Everything in Elderfield is unsettling, from the haunting, horror manga-inspired, hand-drawn visuals to the dark, lofi soundscapes composed by Dated. Despite the strange creatures lurking just outside your home, those who wander into Elderfield rarely find a reason… or option, to leave. 

Life-sim RPG

Customize your home and character, unravel daily mysteries, befriend the odd townsfolk (or even marry one!), go fishing, spend your afternoons mining and forage through the surrounding wilds… There’s lots to do in Elderfield!

Farming with a twist

Cultivate your land, harvest your crops, and stop the growth of unruly tentacles. Manage a variety of strange, otherworldly livestock, grow useful crops like corn, pumpkins, teeth or eyeballs and hope that beings from the woods don’t wander onto your farm.

In-depth combat and strategy

Choose your difficulty, how much suffering can you endure? For players seeking a peaceful life of harvest and discovery, cozy difficulty offers a more laid-back experience. For those who crave a challenge, the Old Gods are waiting. 

Elderfield features a deep, turn-based combat system where you must utilize gathered resources, strategic buffs and diverse equipment to survive encounters with ancient, Lovecraftian horrors.

Die, learn, farm, and forage… Then die again.

• Full RPG life sim with relationships, customization, fishing and more
• Hand drawn horror manga inspired artwork
• Dark lofi soundtrack by Dated
• Build your farm, manage animals, mine and forage to build resources
• Play on cozy mode or test your skills and resource building with in depth turn based combat

The Seattle-based sensation joins famous monsters like Mothman, Bigfoot, and the Jersey Devil!

Salt Lake City, USA – August 5th, 2026 – Snowfall Games is thrilled to reveal that everyone’s new favorite real-life cryptid, Jimothy, the deformed raccoon from Seattle, will be joining the cast of their upcoming cryptid deck-building auto-battler Portentum. Coming to Steam later this year, Portentum combines original hand-drawn cryptid artwork with deep deck-building strategy, letting you hunt for broken combos using legendary creatures from around the world, like Bigfoot, Mothman, and the Chupacabra. And now, Jimothy too!

In Portentum, each run begins by building a deck of 30 cryptids and mushrooms. Each cryptid has its own ability: deal damage, heal, summon minions, or manipulate the dice. Abilities trigger on events you can build around, like a roll of the dice, an ally taking damage, or an enemy healing one of its own. Feeding mushrooms to your cryptids amplifies their abilities and stats. There are endless combinations and broken strategies to be discovered.

Once your deck is ready, it’s time to start your run. Draw a hand, spend coins to assemble a warband of five cryptids, and send them into battle. From there, the dice take over: abilities fire, combos chain, and the fight plays out on its own until one warband is left standing. Rework your warband between battles as the run goes on. Win ten battles to take the run. Lose five, and you’re out.

Portentum’s meta is ever-evolving, as every warband you create joins the pool that other players face. As you keep playing and opening card packs, entirely new deck-building possibilities and obscenely killer combos will enter the fray, providing an endless array of strategic possibilities and challenges!

“It was truly an astounding coincidence that we, as humans, discovered a real-life cryptid while we, at Snowfall, were nose deep in development of our own cryptid-based card battler,” said Jaden Holladay, Co-Founder at Snowfall Games. “We were already huge cryptid heads, and our Hunt Bigfoot mod in Fortnite had over 5 million plays, so players kept coming to us asking for more Cryptid games. That, combined with our love of deck-builders, inspired Portentum. When Jimothy was revealed – literally in my neighborhood! – we knew we needed to immortalize him forever by adding him to the Portentum roster.”

You’re the lone night shift news editor amidst a mysterious lockdown in a small town

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August 5th, 2026 – If anyone is still out there, if anyone is listening, you should know that Barkbyte Interactive has revealed its upcoming narrative newsroom thriller Static Hour. Set in a small town in the 1980s, you are the lone newsroom editor working the night shift amidst a series of eerie events and must figure out what’s going on and what’s fit to broadcast.

An outbreak of violence has erupted. Families are turning on each other. People are panicking. The government has issued a lockdown and they’re sending in the troops. What’s going on? The people must know.

It’s the 1980s and your journalistic instincts are reliant upon period-appropriate analogue tech. Scroll through your rolodex, make calls on your rotary phone, listen to emergency alerts, and peruse the police scanner for any info you can find. Leave no stone unturned, even if that means rummaging through your colleagues’ desks to ensure you’re getting the full scoop. The truth is out there.

As the only news editor on duty, you alone must deduce what leads are worth dispatching field reporters to, who to call for more information, and what seems important enough to take up valuable air time. Of course, you must do your best to verify each story and make sure you’re following FCC regulations!

By deciding what information to broadcast, you alone influence how the public responds to this crisis, shaping events throughout the night. With the fate of the town on the line, it’s never been more important to ensure that your reporting is accurate. But only you can decide what the public is ready to hear. Every story you broadcast or leave unaired pushes the town closer to the truth or deeper into the static. The choice is yours alone.

“With Static Hour I wanted to create a retro psychological thriller about isolation and misinformation, where you’re given staggering responsibility and must trust yourself in determining what is accurate,” said Barkbyte Founder and creative director Claire Sarmiento. “I loved the idea of spooky things happening in a small town just out of sight, where the horrors are driven by audio and left to your imagination. Furthermore, I was captivated by the idea that something terrible is happening, but you can’t quite grasp exactly what it is. Having to sort through junk data, red herrings, and scattered facts to decipher truth from preemptive speculation seemed like a flavor of horror that remains as relevant today as ever.”

Features:

• Investigate Through Audio: Uncover a mystery almost entirely through audio sources such as calls, reports, and scanner signals. 
• Information Shapes Reality: What you choose to broadcast influences how the town reacts. 
• Tension Through Uncertainty: Evaluate conflicting and incomplete information as you decide what to disseminate to the public. 
• Manage the Public’s Fear and Trust: Provide accurate, verified reporting and the township will have faith in your messaging. Report alarming or uncertain information and they may panic.
• Immerse Yourself in 1980s Analogue Tech: Utilize reporting tools such as CRT monitors, rolodex, rotary phones, radio scanners. 
• A Mystery Contained Within the Newsroom: Discover the outside world entirely through incoming reports, never stepping foot outside of the radio station.

Winter Crew Studios’ JRPG-inspired adventure launches 1.0 with new regions, bosses and an ending to Hira’s story

Manila, Philippines, August 5th 2026 – Independent developer Winter Crew Studios today announced that Fallen Tear: The Ascension, its hand-drawn story-driven Metroidvania, will launch in 1.0 on Steam on September 16th 2026 for $24.99 / €24.99 / £21.99, with a 10% launch discount will be available for 14 days after the release. This full launch concludes the Early Access period that kicked off in March 2026, which has already earned a “Very Positive” rating from players.

Set in the high-fantasy world of Raoah, Fallen Tear: The Ascension follows Hira, a mysterious child fated to stand against ancient gods, through a Metroidvania built around the Fated Bonds system – allies with distinct combat and traversal abilities that reshape how players fight and explore. The game mixes traditional hand-drawn animation and full voice acting with fast, skill-based combat and JRPG-inspired storytelling.

Fallen Tear’s Early Access version launched with 10 interconnected regions, 6 main bosses (and 3 optional bosses), 10 Fated Bonds contained within the game’s opening act. The full launch roughly doubles the game’s content: 10 additional major regions with interconnected areas, 5 new main bosses and 19 new optional side bosses and 11 new Fated Bonds, each with their own abilities and story moments. Hira’s progression expands with 3 additional Ascensions, 6 new Hunter Skills, 4 new Elemental Imbuements and 16 new Mastery Skills spanning Tier III and Tier IV – with full combat, progression and exploration systems available at launch. Altogether, the 1.0 release offers 35 to 40 hours of story content, and more than 80 hours for players chasing full completion!

“Early Access let us build Fallen Tear: The Ascension alongside the community that plays it, and their feedback shaped everything from combat balance to how the Fated Bonds feel in a fight,” said Stephen Manalastas, Creative Director at Winter Crew Studios. “On September 16th the story finally comes together, with new regions, new bonds and an ending we’ve been building toward since we started this project.”

Key Features:

• Fated Bonds – Forge bonds with allies across Raoah, each granting unique combat and traversal abilities that change how you fight and explore.
• Hand-Drawn World – Explore lush forests, lost cities and forgotten ruins rendered in traditional hand-drawn animation with full voice acting.
• Skill-Based Combat – Slash, parry and dodge through the Ascension and Hunter skill trees and switch tactics mid-fight against bosses that keep you guessing.
• Multiple Endings – Shape Hira’s fate through the bonds you form and the choices you make on the way to one of several possible endings.
• The Temple of Oras – Customize a personal hub high above Raoah and fill it with allies met throughout the journey.

Fallen Tear: The Ascension launches on Steam on September 16th, 2026, featuring full audio in English and text localization support for English, German, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified Chinese; with further languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Turkish, Korean, and Japanese) arriving after launch.

Reconstruct the final moments of the dead, uncover a conspiracy decades in the making and decide the fate of Dark Tide City in the atmospheric Chinese cyber-noir detective RPG, available now on Steam.

China – August 5th, 2026. Every city has its secrets. Dark Tide City has buried theirs for decades. Today, developer Shadowlight and publisher Phoenix Games invite players into the rain-soaked streets of Dark Tide City as Kill the Shadow launches on PC via Steam. Available now for £14.99 / $16.99 / €16.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount, the atmospheric detective RPG blends gripping investigations, meaningful player choice, RPG progression and a unique crime-scene reconstruction mechanic that allows players to witness the past exactly as it happened.

Launching today alongside a brand-new gameplay trailer, Kill the Shadow immerses players in a city haunted by forgotten memories, buried conspiracies and the consequences of long-forgotten choices, where every investigation uncovers another piece of a truth someone is desperate to keep hidden.

Players assume the role of Lucas, a former detective carrying an impossible burden. Bound to the mysterious Shadow fused to his back, he alone possesses the supernatural ability to reconstruct the final moments of the dead. Rather than changing history, the Shadow allows Lucas to observe crime scenes exactly as they unfolded, revealing hidden evidence, exposing deception and piecing together a conspiracy that has cast its shadow over Dark Tide City for more than a decade.

Watch the Kill the Shadow Launch Trailer below

Every investigation begins with a single victim. What starts as the mysterious death of Captain Theo’s loyal companion soon unravels into a web of corruption, betrayal and long-buried secrets. From the disappearance of Master Reed during a crowded temple festival to the forgotten tragedies hidden beneath Shipwreck Wharf, every case draws Lucas deeper into the city’s fractured past, where justice is rarely black and white.

How the story unfolds is entirely in the player’s hands. Develop Lucas through a flexible RPG progression system, relying on deduction, persuasion, charisma or brute force to overcome obstacles, interrogate suspects and uncover vital clues. Every conversation, every investigation and every moral decision shapes the people around you and ultimately determines the fate of Dark Tide City through multiple possible endings.

Bringing its haunting world to life, Kill the Shadow combines richly detailed 3D environments with beautifully animated 2D pixel-art characters to create a distinctive visual identity inspired by Chinese cyber-noir. Explore abandoned factories, flood-ravaged docklands, bustling temple districts and towering walled cities, each concealing new mysteries, unforgettable characters and stories waiting to be uncovered.

Key Features

• Investigate a City Full of Secrets: Solve interconnected murder cases while uncovering the hidden truth behind Dark Tide City’s mysterious past.
• Reconstruct Crime Scenes: Harness the power of the Shadow to witness the final moments of the deceased exactly as they happened, revealing clues invisible to everyone else.
• Become the Detective You Want to Be: Shape Lucas through RPG progression, using deduction, persuasion, charm or force to solve every investigation your own way.
• Meaningful Choices & Multiple Endings: Judge, forgive or condemn those responsible as your decisions shape the future of the city and the lives of its citizens.
• A Stunning Chinese Cyber-Noir World: Experience a striking blend of richly detailed 3D environments and expressive 2D pixel-art characters.
• Meet an Unforgettable Cast: Discover the stories, motivations and personal tragedies of Dark Tide City’s diverse citizens, each hiding secrets of their own.

The truth refuses to stay buried. Now it’s your turn to uncover it.

Kill the Shadow is available now on PC via Steam for £14.99 / $16.99 / €16.99 with a limited-time 10% launch discount

Watch the brand-new launch trailer today, begin your investigation and uncover the secrets hidden within Dark Tide City.

By playing and upgrading ships, players can unlock various rewards, including a Commonwealth Tier VI Premium light cruiser as the final prize.

A New Noble Lombard Campaign

A new campaign, Noble Lombard, also arrives, spanning five weeks and 100 milestones, and packed with rewards. Waiting at the end, for players with active Admiralty Backing, is Italian Tier VIII Premium cruiser Ferrante Gonzaga. Achieving high speeds, and armed with battle-ready consumables, Ferrante Gonzaga boasts rapid-firing guns that spray high-explosive and semi-armor piercing shells, and powerful torpedoes, making her a formidable foe on the battlefield.

New Ways to Earn and Use Steel

Also arriving in the game is Franklin D. Roosevelt, a brand new U.S. Legendary Tier aircraft carrier with immense attacking power, available to purchase for Steel in the Forge section of the Store. Players looking to earn more Steel to unlock the Legendary vessel can do so via new Ranked Seasons offering double the usual amount of Steel, as well as via Endless Trials in the Noble Lombard campaign, Premium Supplies missions, and the special Steel Hunter mission.

Full details on the August update can be found in the patch notes.
