MELBOURNE, Australia – Sept. 30, 2024 – Enter the Chronosphere, the psychedelic turn-based bullet hell roguelike developed by Effort Star and published by Joystick Ventures, steps through a wormhole to emerge with a new demo on PC via Steam ahead of the Turn-Based RPG Fest. Take on time itself Monday, Sept. 30 to Monday, Oct. 7, now with support for Simplified Chinese, French, and German languages.

First time in the Chronosphere? Things may look hectic, what with all those enemies and their complicated attack patterns flying everywhere, but time only moves when you move. Becoming an action hero doesn’t require fast reflexes, just the ability to think two steps ahead.

Did you just dodge roll out of the way of fire…but into a more dangerous spot? Is it worth taking this shot when other enemy attacks are flying in? Should you spend a turn charging up a special ability? Perhaps you should wait a turn in safety to see what the enemies do next? These moment-to-moment decisions lie at the heart of this one-of-a-kind roguelike genre fusion.

Played Enter the Chronosphere at PAX East or as part of previous drops on Steam? Dive back in and explore the just-added Bellusect, a new biome buzzing with violent insects eager to implant eggs into any living host. Discover a whole evolutionary chain from baby larva buried in bodies to insectoid demiqueens. Wield living weapons, dismembered ovipositors and acid-spewing armaments to exterminate evolving pests.

Discover exciting new synergies with these new weapons in the Bellusect, combining them with character-specific abilities like with Urtar the Bearzerker, whose Kinetic Surge can send enemies flying. Or play as Marcia, who can dodge roll and deal extra damage when her health gets low, with other characters in the works. Enter the Chronosphere may not require fast reflexes, but don’t rest on your laurels: this demo won’t be around forever…

Confront new challenges in Enter the Chronosphere’s newly updated demo available now during Steam’s Turn-Based RPG Fest from Monday, Sept. 30 – Monday, Oct. 7. For more information on Enter the Chronosphere, check out developer Effort Star’s TikTok account and official website, follow Effort Star and publisher Joystick Ventures on social media, and join the game’s official Discord.

The dead rise in debut demo during Steam Scream Fest

WELLINGTON, NZ – Sept. 30, 2024 – Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, the shelter survival game set in a zombie-infested Texas city from PikPok, releases its first-ever Steam demo just in time for Halloween starting Monday, Oct. 28. Delve into the demo for a bite of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days ahead of its Early Access launch in 2025.

The debut demo highlights the survival horror and shelter management elements of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. As the undead overrun the city of Walton, Texas in 1980, those trapped within the city limits must work together to overcome ever-present dangers and ever-dwindling resources. Explore the city to scavenge for food and tools to stay alive, then return to base to manage survivors’ needs. Carve a path through Walton, guiding survivors from shelter to shelter and inching closer to an escape from the unfolding apocalypse.

Move through abandoned locations and eerie streets amid the tense and unsettling atmosphere of the richly immersive set design, crafted lighting, and evocative audio. The creak of floorboards, the moaning anguish of the infected, and the blood-curdling screams when scavenging efforts are cut short by an unfortunate misstep… 

Plan your escape from the city, with multiple leads to follow. Encounter and recruit survivors, each with unique positive and negative traits that impact how you play. As the city’s fate worsens and the number of undead increases, desperation drives Walton’s living citizens to actions once considered unthinkable. And when push comes to shove, engage in brutal combat using an array of scavenged melee and ranged weapons.

“We’re thrilled to share our public Steam demo of Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days,” said Mario Wynands, CEO of PikPok. “The development team is hard at work creating an immersive survival game in an evolving world that challenges players at every turn, and we can’t wait to hear what players think of this first taste of the game.”

Into The Dead: Our Darkest Days will launch on PC via Steam Early Access in 2025, with a playable demo coming to Steam on October 28, 2024.

A Masterful Modernization of Classic RPGs will Receive Local Co-op, Refinements and More

QUEBEC CITY (Sept. 30, 2024) – Sea of Stars developer and publisher Sabotage Studio today announced Dawn of Equinox, a free content update for the award-winning turn-based RPG inspired by the golden era of ‘90s role-playing classics, will arrive on Nov. 12 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

Following a year of incredible support from the Sea of Stars community, Dawn of Equinox is Sabotage Studio’s gift to thank more than 5 million players for their unwavering love for Sea of Stars. Dawn of Equinox includes some of the most requested features and improvements informed by feedback from players. The update represents Sabotage Studio’s fully realized vision for Sea of Stars’ spectacular adventure.

Dawn of Equinox features:

• All-New Local Co-op: Sea of Stars’ story will be playable in its entirety by up to three players, with allies traversing the world together and mastering a new Co-op Timed Hits combat mechanic.
• Combat 2.0: The addition of Mystery Locks brings a new gameplay loop around revealing the ways to break the spells of enemies each time a new type is encountered in battle. Along with “Reveal” functions added to some of the playable cast’s special skills, Combo Points now remain after battle, offering new ways to open certain encounters, or test different damage types on enemies to reveal their locks. A comprehensive balancing pass has also been done to reflect both these new changes and player feedback since launch.
• A Revamped Prologue: Implementing combat for the young versions of our heroes, the updated flow does away with the flashback structure to begin in their childhood, directly including action in the prologue.
• Bonus Cinematic Scene: An entirely new cutscene has been added to accentuate a pivotal moment in the original adventure, referred to as “Paths on Water.”
• A Speedrunner Mode Relic: This new item activates a range of features helpful for those looking to set a new personal best or world record.
• Difficulty Presets: Three difficulty options are now available when starting a new game, which are presets using the game’s Relics. New Relics have also been added, both for quality of life and difficulty adjustments.
• Improved Parrot Relic: Sea of Stars’ secret-tracking parrot has learned a few new tricks to better assist players tracking down overlooked challenges and collectibles.
• Quebecois Localization: A comprehensive French Canadian translation for Quebec’s finest Solstice Warriors.
• Quality of Life Improvements: A constellation of general updates and improvements spanning Sea of Stars’ full campaign.

Dawn of Equinox arrives ahead of Throes of the Watchmaker, free DLC launching in Spring 2025 which will debut a completely new storyline, a new playable character and more as an encore to Sea of Stars’ original adventure. Throes of the Watchmaker will find Sea of Stars’ leading heroes Valere and Zale venturing into a magical miniature clockwork world threatened by a cursed carnival, which forces the Solstice Warriors to adapt to unfamiliar rules to fully master their Sun and Moon powers. The entirety of Throes of the Watchmaker will also be playable in the Local Co-op feature arriving in Dawn of Equinox.

Launched last summer to critical praise from media and fans before being recognized with accolades including Best Independent Game at The Game Awards, Sea of Stars has garnered more than 5 million players and is available across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for $34.99.
