About Dark Atlas: Infernum.

Out there, the world is falling apart. Massive electrical storms have begun to sweep across the Earth. After each passing, little by little, the streets are filled with ghosts. Scientists and sorcerers of our time have decided to call them “Imprints”. They look like our dead but don’t react to any stimuli. They are entities contemplating the night of the cities. And the nations are burning.

Your destiny, however, is to escape from a nightmare in which the ‘Word’ is perpetually harassing you through your memories, the ruins of civilization, the nether abysses of your soul, and hell itself. It is time to face the questions and the consequences of your actions. You must fight against the captivity you have been subjected to for telling the truth. Because endless threads hang from your knowledge.

You can’t waste any more time. You must react and find the exit because you are in a labyrinth of crossroads. Outside, the skies crumble. Great forces are consolidating to seize power in the spectral world. They want to use them as instruments of desolation. They want you to tell them how to forge the holy book: the Corona Radiata.

Features

• A haunting original soundtrack composed to accompany the dark narrative.

Manage Hell and build a thriving underworld empire in Sintopia!

30th October 2024 – Team17 Digital and French based Piraknights Games, have made a wicked pact and joined forces to bring you all Sintopia, the God simulation game where you reign over Imployees in the bureaucratic administration of Hell.

Sintopia is a mix of builder and God game, with an asymmetrical loop. On the OVERWORLD, influence a silly civilization of chickpea people make their mark on the world and unfortunately for them, damn themselves by committing a host of sins. Punish the dead souls, keep your receipts for accounts and generate profit to help you build and sustain your Hellish empire.

Key Features: 

Be All powerful! Being the administrator of Hell comes with many perks. Some of these include the ability to wield administrative magic to influence the world above you.

Hell Your Way Mold the caves of Hell to your own deepest and darkest desires. Yes there will be paperwork but one of the Imployees you hire will take care of it. You need more time to live out your hellish architect fantasies.  

Seven Deadly Sins Make sure your souls go through an effective “re-education” to avoid a buildup of their Sins across many lives… no one wants to face the demonic invasion that will inevitably result from having too much corruption in the world.

Ann Hurley, General Manager, Team17 Digital, said: “As fans of simulation games of yore that Sintopia takes influences from, it was an easy decision for Team17 to partner with Piraknights! The developers core values are ones that we wish to work with on a daily basis and we’re excited to show off what an impressive game this small team has created.”

Founder Eric Le Ru said “We’re honored to have T17 at our side to help bring our game’s vision to its full potential! It’s going to be an exciting ride to Hell and back!“

Sydney, Australia – October 30, 2024 – Microids and Savage Level are thrilled are excited to unveil a new exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming tactical RPG, Flint: Treasure of Oblivion. The video offers over 4 minutes of commented gameplay, giving players a detailed look at the game’s mechanics, pirate-themed world, and role-playing depth.

In Flint: Treasure of Oblivion, players will explore immersive environments by interacting with local inhabitants to progress through the story and unlock additional quests. Throughout the exploration, players will have to collect cards with items linked to the story as well as Tactics. These cards allow Flint and his crew to level up, gain new weapons, and improve their dice rolls and attributes like defence, dexterity, and health. Through this gameplay system, players will be able to use accessories, skills, and attributes in combat phases.

Before setting out on adventures, players will need to assemble a diverse team by choosing from the pirates they have recruited in the various classes each with their own specific skills set including Surgeon, Freebooter or Helmsman. Different sailors can complement each other, and combos can be performed by pairing two members of the same class, creating situations that can change the course of a fight.

Battles in Flint: Treasure of Oblivion emphasises strategy. Players can take advantage of the environment by using verticality to fall on an opponent from a high point or push a barrel to topple an enemy and take the advantage.

The game incorporates a strong tabletop role-playing dimension, with success in combat based in part on the results of dice rolls. These can be mitigated by the skills of team members and strategies adopted in combat, enhancing players’ chances of success. This luck factor also applies to exploration phases, such as opening chests or certain narrative sequences.
