Bristol, United Kingdom — September 26, 2024 | The time has come. Yogscast Games and Perfectly Paranormal are proud to announce that The Holy Gosh Darn is here! Launching across PC, Switch, Xbox and PlayStation, this satirical tale sees players become a mediocre angel with one job: Saving Heaven from total annihilation. Just a normal Tuesday, really!

It turns out the preservation of angels, demons, humans — and everything in between — isn’t easy. Players will need to jump through time, skip conversations they’ve heard before and learn about the past from the future. This isn’t all blue boxes or vehicular space-time manipulation, instead, the fate of the world lies in the ticking hands of a golden watch. 

Using unique time-travel, players will use clues they’ve gathered from the future to alter the past. Stuck behind a door, go find the code and enter it earlier in the day! A conversation gone wrong? No matter, just rewind and try again.

Poo-Wash Simulator sees players cleaning up after adorable Ragamuffins in this monstrously adorable game

Bristol, United Kingdom — September 26, 2024 | Yogscast Games and Terahard are excited to reveal Monster Mop Up – a brilliant new creature collector and cleaning game coming to PC in 2025.

But it’s not just brooms and hoovers that you can buy, as you’ll also be able to create your own bases from an array of decorations such as lamps, tables, plants and even plush armchairs for Ragamuffins to call home – not that they’ll keep it clean.

Tokyo, Japan – 26th September, 2024 – Japan-based publisher Kakehashi Games and the development team at Bandai Namco Studios Singapore are proud to reveal the gorgeous origami-inspired 3D action platformer, Hirogami.

From a development team comprised of industry veterans (with production, design and art credits on the likes of Ace Combat 7 and Tekken 7, among others), Hirogami invites players to a world where everything has been crafted to convey the physical, often fragile, nature of paper, amidst the backdrop of an invasion by a powerful digital force known as the Blight.

Players will also discover new forms to help them traverse the world, solve puzzles, and best their foes. Roll through obstacles and enemies alike as a hardy armadillo, traverse the treetops and pound pests as a mighty ape, and leap to previously unreachable heights as a formidable frog.

And everything is encompassed in a soothing soundscape – composed using traditional Japanese instruments and styles – specially crafted to evoke the variety of themes, characters and settings of Hirogami.
