Free “Neon & Miracle” DLC Announced for Altered Alma

A free gift for all players in collaboration with Blasphemous

NEO BARCELONA Oct. 2, 2024 Altered Alma, the new highly anticipated cyberpunk metroidvania, has announced an exciting addition to its universe with the upcoming free DLC titled “Neon & Miracle,” thanks to the overwhelming support from its successful Kickstarter campaign. As a special surprise to backers and players alike, Altered Alma is collaborating with The Game Kitchen, creators of the hit indie game Blasphemous 2, to deliver this unique crossover experience.

A New Dimension Unfolds: The Neon & Miracle Story

In the “Neon & Miracle” DLC, players will witness an unprecedented fusion of two strikingly different worlds. The story kicks off when Jackelyne, the main protagonist of Altered Alma, uses a powerful yet unstable device known as the Crucible. The experiment goes awry, tearing open a portal to the nightmarish land of Cvstodia from Blasphemous. As dimensions collide, The Penitent One—the iconic character from Blasphemous—becomes trapped in Neo Barcelona.

Players will have to repair the Crucible to return balance to the universe. This journey involves completing thrilling parkour challenges in a digital landscape, racing against time to fix the broken device.

Last Day to Back the Campaign

With just under 24 hours left on Kickstarter, this announcement comes as a heartfelt thank you to the incredible community that has supported Altered Alma throughout the campaign. Reaching over 210,000€ in funding, the campaign has unlocked numerous stretch goals, including this epic collaboration.

The “Neon & Miracle” DLC will be available for free to all backers, as well as to regular players, upon the game’s release.

Whitethorn Games and EPHEMERA Reveal Pulse-Pounding Co-Op Multiplayer Roguelike Kernel Hearts

Ascend the Tower of Babel, Harness Powerful Abilities, Befriend Allies, and Challenge the Divine in This High-Stakes Roguelike Adventure

Erie, Pennsylvania (October 2, 2024) — If the only way to bring a world back from the edge of the apocalypse was to destroy its god, would you have the power to do it? Today, Whitethorn Games — publisher of inclusive, accessible, approachable games — and developer EPHEMERA are thrilled to introduce a brand-new title — the action-packed multiplayer roguelike Kernel Hearts. Combining challenging hack-’n-slash gameplay, role-playing, and roguelike elements with stunning anime aesthetics, you will battle your way up a deadly celestial tower, building your arsenal of skills with each mortal demise to eradicate monstrous angelic enemies and dethrone a god to save the world.

As a member of M.A.H.O.U Unit — an elite fighting force of super-powered android magical girls — you and up to three allies are tasked with one thing: destroy a god to save the world from the brink of extinction. Starting from the base of the mythical Tower of Babel, you’ll fight your way through an array of powerful enemies from all sides, as you climb each level, gaining crucial skills and magical powers to help you surmount its pinnacle — and the new threats each floor brings with it. Defeat is no excuse; only the most resolute soldiers will reach the heavenly heights in order to dethrone their god — are you up for the task?

Key Features of Kernel Hearts include:

  • Ascend to the Ultimate Being of Destruction: In every run, hunt for temporary skills that enhance your attacks, spells, and movement, empowering you to unleash devastating strikes and combos. Use these abilities to conquer the relentless enemies on each floor and exterminate the fearsome boss guardians that rule each domain.
  • The End is Just the Beginning: Facing enemies of biblical proportions requires persistence and grit, but a sudden demise isn’t the end. After each run, your unit returns to the lab, where you can use the rewards from previous missions to unlock and equip up to 256KB of skill chips. Customize your unit with these chips to match your unique playstyle.
  • Magical Transformations: The curse of the Tower is ever-present, and spending too much time in one area draws out even more powerful enemies. Harness the Tower’s energy to dispel the curses, briefly transform into your ultimate magical form and unleash annihilating attacks on any foes standing in your way.
  • Squad Up: Play alone or with up to three friends, honing and synergizing your skills to become the ultimate fighting force to get you to the top.
  • Friends in High Places: Each celestial domain hosts unique allies to help you on your journey. Befriend them to deepen your bond and maybe find love along the way!

Kernel Hearts will be available on PC via Steam. Accessibility features for the game will be announced in the coming months.

Ottawa, Canada (October 2, 2024) — Indie developer SQYD.studio is delighted to announce the 3D physics platformer Watch Out for Goblins! The team’s debut game will ragdoll its way into your heart and onto PC via Steam in 2025.

Become certified Goblin Royalty, exploring and collecting Cogs to repair Gobland, all while getting up to hijinks along the way. Blending motion capture animation and real-time physics, Watch Out for Goblins! allows players to slide, somersault, and soar through the air, all in the name of saving Goblinkind. 

In Watch Out for Goblins! you can reach a level of mischief you never even thought possible. The game includes such sophisticated and intellectual features as running races while wearing loincloths, ripping the environment to pieces, succumbing to obvious traps, and yelling “parkour” before hurtling down ravines. WOFG! doesn’t just support your goblin scheming, it actively encourages it. 

And what’s better than one Goblin in single-player mode? Two Goblins, of course! In split-screen multiplayer, you can plan out your ridiculous antics with a pal. Take on mini-games together and beat your friend at races or in games of Sacker, or just do as the Goblin Gods intended and use your Goblin Grabbers to throw your buddy off a cliff. Now that’s what we call friendship!

Key Features of Watch Out For Goblins!:

  • Actually Real and Totally Accurate Goblin Physics: Verified by the world’s top Goblin scientists (the game’s two developers), the precise controls, motion capture animation, and real-time physics mean that every fall, flop, fail, and flounder will be presented gloriously.

  • Mini-Games, Maximum Fun: Goblins just want to have fun, or whatever Cyndi Lauper said, and so it’s packed to the brim with mini-games. Leave them eating dust in foot races, dive into traps headfirst, and get involved in many more silly antics for you to discover.
  • If It’s Shiny, It’s Mine-y!: Go on the world’s most unserious scavenger hunt — and explore and experiment around Gobland to locate juicy collectibles. Combine skillful parkour with your cunning Goblin noggin to uncover every piece of loot.
  • Don Your Goblin Garb: Make the other Goblins (literally) green with envy by dressing up real fancy! Collect silly hats and other items of clothing and deck your Goblin out however you‘d like.

Watch Out For Goblins! is coming to Windows PC in Early Access via Steam in 2025. A demo will be available from October 14 as part of Steam Next Fest.

ASCEND THE AUTONOMOUS MEGATOWER IN ROGUELITE RPG, DEATHTOWER. PLAY THE DEMO NOW!

Experience one hour of gameplay in the free demo, featuring an opening sequence, multiple floors, and a boss encounter.

Angouleme, France, 2 October 2024 | Indie studio Headbang Club has revealed their latest in-house project, DeathTower. The tactical RPG is coming soon to Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, and a PC demo is available now for download.

Ascend The Tower

DeathTower is a 2.5D isometric roguelite tactical RPG. Experience this infinite megastructure as Ikarus, who is swept up in the mysteries of this tower after a parasite cleaning operation goes awry. Built thousands of years ago, the tower Megaryon is home to countless secrets, including those related to the true masters of this mechanical behemoth. As Ikarus sets off on this adventure to ascend the tower, he is accompanied by Phi, a mysterious wandering µbot created through Megaryon’s autonomous operations. Together, they will face biological parasites, trained soldiers, and degenerating µbots in their quest to uncover the truth of the tower.

Craft Your Kit

DeathTower combines elements of roguelikes, immersive sims, and JRPGs to create an engaging gameplay experience. As you climb the tower, combine stealthy infiltration and an arsenal of devastating weapons to reach your objective. A combative approach uses weapons, grenades, and ammunition to clear different floors, or stealth players can use environmental structures and resources to avoid notice. Four different biomes compose this tower, and numerous floors are scattered throughout each biome. Fight through each floor’s threats, use hacks in the tower’s programming to amplify your abilities and summon assists, or fall in battle and restart your run from the beginning.

Expansive Skill Opportunities

Hacks in the tower’s nanomachines are crucial to progression. Depending on your playstyle, ten classes are available for expansion, each boasting 75 skills upon completing the skill tree. Focus on mastering one class, or take a fluid approach by earning skills across multiple classes. To assist your climb, use elevators between levels to heal and use your resources to upgrade your abilities. Falling in combat does restart your adventure, but skills are saved so you can use your previously earned mastery to quicken your ascent. Beyond Ikarus and Phi, four other playable characters can be unlocked to fill slots in your four-person party. Choose wisely to reach your best runs!

Demo Out Now, Kickstarter Launching Soon

DeathTower is launching soon on Kickstarter, and interested parties can follow the campaign now. The game will come to Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, and a 1-hour demo of DeathTower is featured now on Steam. Trial an excerpt of the game’s opening, explore the first few floors and test your skills in a massive boss fight. Are you ready to face the danger of the Megaryon and defeat the Kraken?

Gameplay Features:

  • 6 playable characters are waiting to be unlocked as you ascend the tower and explore the game’s different biomes.
  • 30 enemy types boast unique characteristics depending on their environment and class type.
  • 10 mini bosses necessitate skill expansions and combat expertise to defeat and climb to the next level.
  • 75 unlockable weapons, ranging from grenades to laser guns, let each player hone their perfect kit.
  • 75 hacks in the megastructure’s operations system can be programmed to attack, defend, manipulate the battlefield and summon terrifying creatures.
  • 10 fluid class trees, comprising a total of 75 skills, can be combined to create a well-rounded party.

Follow DeathTower now on Kickstarter for a reminder when the campaign launches. The game’s demo is available for download on Steam, and players can Wishlist the game for development updates.
