Previously released on Xbox Series X|S and Steam earlier this year, Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! is a vehicular action and visual novel mash-up, inspired by Japanese isekai. It tells the story of Carissa, a young woman climbing through the corporate ranks, who is then hit by a truck and transported to the fantasy world of Talinfold.
To get home, the player — who takes the role of the truck driver — must hit as many pedestrians, cars, billboards, you name it, to isekai helpful resources to her dimension and help her fight off waves of enemies. Together, you attempt to unlock the Galactic Gate, defeat the Skeleton King, and claim his legendary Scroll of Resurrection.
Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!– SWITCH 2 LAUNCH TRAILER:
Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! is a humorous, OVA-sized spin on the “truck-kun” isekai meme, inspired by the long-running anime and manga trope of protagonists being transported to fantasy worlds after being hit by a delivery truck. True to Strange Scaffold’s style, the game blends absurdist comedy with personal storytelling as its characters find unexpected connection and surmount impossible odds.
Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! is available now on Nintendo Switch 2 for $19.99. For more information, follow Strange Scaffold on Bluesky.

New gameplay trailer reveals the details, mechanics and systems that could make all the difference when BLACKWOOD: Act 1 arrives on Steam September 16.
September 14, 2026. With BLACKWOOD: Act 1 just days away from its September 16 launch on Steam, developer AttritoM7 Productions and publisher IZilla Games have released a new gameplay trailer revealing some of the things players should know before stepping into the dangerous double life of Anton Blackwood.
BLACKWOOD is a gritty third-person action thriller set in New York in 2012. By day, players manage a seemingly ordinary DVD store; by night, they enter the city’s criminal underworld as Anton Blackwood, a ruthless contract killer caught between survival, morality, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
Combining cinematic storytelling with responsive gunplay, grounded melee combat, brutal takedowns, and a detailed recreation of 2012 New York, BLACKWOOD explores the consequences of living two very different lives.
Watch the new Things You Should Know Before PlayingBLACKWOOD trailer below.
BLACKWOOD may look like a cinematic third-person action thriller, but beneath its stylish gunplay and brutal combat lies a collection of systems designed to reward players who pay attention, adapt to changing situations, and make the most of everything around them.
From managing ammunition and switching weapons on the fly to using movement, environmental objects and takedowns to gain the upper hand, BLACKWOOD gives players plenty of options when things inevitably go wrong. And when the bullets run out, players may need to think quickly and use whatever is available to survive.
The new trailer takes a closer look at some of these mechanics, while also offering a glimpse at the systems waiting between missions. Players will discover ways to customise their arsenal, improve their shooting, manage Anton’s health, make use of his home and even understand how the game’s delivery and progression systems work.
But BLACKWOOD isn’t about simply following the safest route through a mission. Its combat encourages players to stay mobile, take risks, and use the world around them. Diving into danger, chaining together takedowns, exploiting the environment, and making every round count can all make the difference between walking away from a fight and ending up on the wrong side of it.
For players looking to master the experience, plenty of deeper systems await, including different weapon configurations, shooting drills, difficulty options, and additional ways to approach combat.
A Double Life Begins September 16
BLACKWOOD puts players in the role of Anton Blackwood, an apparently ordinary DVD store owner living in New York in 2012. By day, Anton runs his store and manages his life outside the criminal underworld. By night, he becomes a ruthless contract killer, navigating dangerous missions where survival depends on his ability to adapt.
BLACKWOOD: Act 1 is the first part of a three-act story and will launch on Steam on September 16, 2026. Players who purchase BLACKWOOD at launch will receive the future Acts as free updates as they are released, with Act 2 currently planned for March 2027 and Act 3 for September 2027. BLACKWOOD is a full game released progressively in three planned acts, not an Early Access title.
Following its first public playable appearance at Gamescom 2026, where the demo received strong player response across six playable stations, AttritoM7 Productions is now preparing to put BLACKWOOD into players’ hands for the first time at launch.
Key Features
Cinematic Third-Person Action: Fast, responsive gunplay and grounded melee combat combine with brutal takedowns and fluid movement.
Fight Your Way: Stay mobile, use takedowns, and exploit the environment to overcome groups of enemies.
Make Every Bullet Count: Manage ammunition, switch weapons quickly and adapt when your current weapon runs dry.
Build Your Arsenal: Discover and collect different weapons, variants and modifications to create your preferred loadout.

Dunebound Tactics, the roguelite tactical RPG where you build the battlefield and fuel the engine with your own crew, is out now on Steam.
September 14, 2026: Haven is a rumour. Every caravan that has gone looking for it is now part of the desert. Dunebound Tactics is out now on Steam for $14.99, with a 20% launch discount running for two weeks through September 28. Built by Terahard Studios and published by indie.io, it is a turn-based tactical roguelite about dragging a sand-ship and its crew across a wasteland that consumes both.
Most tactics games hand you a battlefield and ask you to read it. This one hands you the tools to rewrite it. Cover can be obliterated or dragged out of position. Ice pillars rise to choke a flanking route, explosive pillars turn a chokepoint into a liability, and a pitfall dug early becomes the answer to a problem three turns later. Caravan skills reach in from off the field to buff the party or clear a path for it. Positioning still matters, but the ground underneath it is negotiable.
The cost of all this sits in the hold. The world runs on Elios, a resource that rewrites life and death and leaves crystals where the dead used to be, and it is the only thing that keeps the engine turning. It is also inside every member of the crew. A wounded survivor can go to the infirmary or can be extracted, which fuels the caravan and leaves a husk behind. The desert is rarely generous enough to make that an easy call.
No single attempt is meant to be the one that works. Wrecks of earlier caravans yield modules and occasionally survivors, dynamic world generation reshapes the route each time out, and every failed run leaves the next one better equipped. Crews are assembled from fifteen classes, sixteen traits and more than fifty modules, while thirty-eight enemy types stand between the caravan and the horizon as the Imperials and the Arcanists fight over what is left of the world.
The launch lands on the opening day of Steam’s Party-Based RPG Fest, which runs September 14 to 21. The game was playable ahead of release at gamescom in Cologne and at PAX West in Seattle, both on the indie.io booth, where the demo drew hands-on crowds across both show floors. The engine is fuelled, the route is unmapped and Haven is still a rumour. How far a crew gets, and how much of it is still breathing when it stops. Dunebound Tactics is available to play today on Steam for $14.99, discounted 20% through September 28. Players can find out more about the game and where to purchase it on the indie.io store.

The developers have also prepared broad business management options, and it is up to the player to strike the right balance between finances, costs, and prices.

Camp Manager Simulator With a Free Demo
In the demo, available on PC from September 10, players manage a small lakeside campground where they can pitch tents, welcome guests, and get to grips with the realities of running this kind of business.
Camp Manager Simulator Demo lets players try out the game’s core mechanics. Players are responsible for keeping the place clean, managing reservations, running the shop, and generally growing the campground. The demo focuses on the basic campground management loop. The full version will add more areas, tools, employees, activities, and other elements and mechanics.
