Daily challenges coming soon, 1.0 arriving in November 2025

TOKYO — November 21st, 2024 — Electrogical, the arithmetic-based jigsaw puzzle game developed by kinjo and published by Phoenixx Inc., and selected as the award winner of the First GYAAR Studio Indie Game Contest hosted by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and Bandai Namco Studios Inc., launches into Early Access on PC via Steam today. Eager engineers can enjoy a special launch discount of 15% off until Thursday, Dec 5th, 2024 at 10:00 AM PST.

Decades-long terraforming missions tend to take a toll on aging space convoys. Step into the role of electrical engineer and get to work on long-overdue repairs to return the fleet to its former, fully functioning glory. Reconnect each craft’s reactor to neko, the superconductive AI lifeblood that runs through the armada’s electrical veins.

Each circuit board requires the perfect amount of power to pass inspection. Alter electrical currents by connecting computer chips with various mathematical functions. Increase and decrease power levels with addition and subtraction chips, double and triple the voltage with multiplication pieces, and ignite sparks across long distances with radio wave tiles. 

Redirect power flow by rotating the orientation of each puzzle piece, and utilize “zero” tiles that can strategically take up space without changing current energy levels. Ready to fire up the fleet? Place tiles, press the power button, and watch the flow of electricity fluctuate across each board. 

Some levels only contain a single solution, and others offer multiple paths: design a perfect square with placed chips, use all available tiles, or finish with leftover tiles. Perplexed by mathematical puzzles? Activate the “Hint” function to illuminate the path forward. 

Puzzle fans are encouraged to add their voice to development via the Electrogical Steam Community Hub, and users can look forward to upcoming content drops including daily challenges, Russian and German language support, new puzzle types and quality-of-life improvement leading up to the 1.0 launch in November 2025. 

“Many thanks to those who tried out Electrogical at PAX West, Gamescom, and Tokyo Game Show. We received tons of community feedback that helped shape the Early Access version launching today,” said Yutuka Kinjo, solo developer at kinjo. “We encourage all those who play to continue adding their voice to development as we progress towards 1.0.”

Electrogical arrives on PC via Steam today with language support in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.

 A Dark, Tactical Roguelike RPG set in an Ominous and Deadly Fantasy World

LONDON (Nov. 21, 2024) – Independent developer Unfinished Pixel today announced Blightstone, a dark, tactical roguelike RPG that brings unique twists to combat through freedom of character placement, interactive environments and hardcore resource management set in an ominous and deadly fantasy world. The new title is scheduled to launch in 2025 on Steam Early Access.

Darkness has fallen over the world. Since a magical rift tore open the land, demons and dark forces have been unleashed, corrupting everything they come into contact with. As its inhabitants flee, the land is pillaged and destroyed, leaving few safe havens for the remnants of society. But all is not lost – a new turquoise-colored mineral has appeared which can seemingly stop the plagued blight from its relentless spread. And so, a new party of heroes gathers to secure this precious resource, extract its power and fight back against the corruption that covers the land before all is lost forever…

In Blightstone, players will engage in innovative grid-free turn-based combat where environmental awareness and preparation are key. In each encounter, party members will have to be strategically positioned to take advantage of their surroundings and overcome the odds against relentless enemy forces and the pervading dark corruption. As the insidious plague spreads across the rifted world during combat and at nightfall, players will need to manage their resources and equipment effectively to survive. While few will emerge victorious in their undertaking, failure will be crucial to your eventual salvation. Earthglass shards gathered from failed runs will fortify the guiding Crystal and strengthen future adventurers, pushing heroes onwards for another chance at victory and freedom.

Developed by independent Spanish developers Unfinished Pixel, Blightstone combines the roguelike genre with highly detailed characters and environments to make an unforgettable experience sure to challenge players’ skill and strategic thinking and encourage them to dive in for just one more run.

Blightstone launches on Steam Early Access in 2025. For more information, visit the official website – https://www.blightstonegame.com and the Steam page.

Earn favor with gods, battle mythical monsters on PC via Steam

MONTREAL – 21 Nov. 2024 – Roman Triumph: Survival City Builder, the colony sim balancing human prosperity and ancient mythology from developer Coreffect Interactive and publisher Forklift Interactive, survives divine dangers in a new limited-time weeklong demo on PC via Steam starting today, as revealed in The MIX Fall showcase.

Build a flourishing Roman colony in an expanding empire. Fortify the city to protect it from plentiful outside threats, grow and harvest resources, and attract and retain citizens. Balance the favor of powerful gods to earn their blessings and avoid disastrous attacks from above. Will the blossoming metropolis crumble or triumph against titanic odds?

Strategically grow a city worthy of its citizens, create housing, industrial, social, and religious structures to avoid plague, crime, and invasions. Foster a thriving society by prioritizing and researching key buildings such as the Senat, Insula, and Hospitium. Trade with merchants and increase the production of food and materials to match the growing population’s needs.

Shield the colony from growing armies of ruthless northern barbarians and legendary mythological beasts like the Minotaur and Hydra. Fend off attempts at devastating invasion with sturdy walls, massive towers, accurate ballistae, and other defenses. Grow ever stronger through strategic use of research trees to unlock new weapons and train a loyal army to send the enemy’s way.

Weigh risks and benefits in the face of the Roman pantheon, earning favor with chosen deities and passing on the wishes of others. Comply with the rules and build magnificent temples for Venus, Ceres, Mars, and many more. Take care not to anger other gods in the process, lest they unleash their wrath via lightning, infection, monsters, and other plagues.

“Our team was incredibly thorough when creating Roman Triumph, making sure to include a wide scope of elements crucial to the society of ancient Rome,” said Andrei Podoprigora, Co-Founder and CEO at Forklift Interactive. “With such diverse gameplay focuses surrounding city building, tower defense, and balancing the god’s whims, we can’t wait to see what our community’s cities become!”

Inspired by classic nineties’ JRPGs and survival horror titles, The Time I Have Left has featured on the Future Games Show, IGN Live and The MIX, and now asks for support to bring it to launch

Barcelona, Spain – 21 November 2024. Today at The MIX Fall Showcase, indie developers Ground Game Atelier revealed the third gameplay trailer for their upcoming adventure RPG, The Time I Have Left, announcing a new demo and Kickstarter. 

Since being showcased on the Future Games Show and IGN Live, the game has had nearly 20,000 wishlists, however, the team needs help completing their debut title. A Kickstarter campaign is now live for those who want to crowdfund the game, and a demo is available on Steam, offering players a preview of the game’s first hours.

Near-Death Experience Demo:
A two-hour demo featuring gameplay from Chapter One is available on Steam, where players will play as Aline in a pulse-pounding escape from Colony 7. Encounter various enemies, challenge the first boss, and explore The Time I Have Left’s unique combat and skill systems.

Kickstarter:
To help support the team in the completion of The Time I Have Left, a Kickstarter campaign is now live. Rewards for backers include an exclusive t-shirt, digital copies of the stunning art and soundtrack, and the opportunity for backers to make their own mark on the game by designing content in the final game. Stretch goals include the chance to add more enemy types and a new area, and if unlocked, porting the game to consoles. 

“The Time I Have Left has been in development for three years, but 2024 has been a tough year for game developers and independent studios,” says Juan Estévez (Yite), creative lead at Ground Game Atelier. “The Time I Have Left is already half complete, but without community support we may not be able to finish our passion project. We hope you’ll check out the trailer, download the demo and enjoy it enough to help us Kickstart the game and bring The Time I Have Left to players around the world.”

About The Time I Have Left:
As the seemingly lone inhabitant of the underground city of Colony 7, you take on the role of Aline who has been marked for death by a mysterious phenomenon known as ‘The Miasma’. The Time I Have Left is a time-driven escape adventure where the race is on to discover dark secrets, unlock new skills, and face your foes. 

The Time I Have Left features: 

• Reactive Turn-Based Mechanics: Aline faces grotesque creatures in her Near-Death Experiences. You must time your movements well to evade directional attacks and master your foes’ patterns to escape unharmed.
• Nostalgic flair, modern spin: A fresh take on the classic JRPG formula. Find clues, solve puzzles, unlock hidden areas, and secure your escape from Colony 7, all rendered in striking style.
• Time-driven story and gameplay: Time flows in mysterious ways. After each level the timer will adjust to keep up with the story, so leave the area in the nick of time to get the most of each level.
• Knowledge is power: New abilities are unlocked as you uncover clues and complete the in-game database. The more you explore, the more tools you’ll have to face the creatures you encounter. 
• Deep, dark secrets: Use the information you gather to unlock shortcuts, hidden stories, unique items, and secrets. You may not discover them all in a single playthrough.

The Time I Have Left’s demo is available on Steam now. You can support the developers on Kickstarter and visit www.groundga.com to learn more about this thrilling psychological adventure.
