Bristol, United Kingdom — January 28, 2025 | Get ready to be swept off your feet in this February’s Steam Next Fest as upcoming co-op cleaning sim Monster Mop Up announces its participation. Grab a mop and a couple of friends, give it some elbow grease, and revel in the satisfaction of a clean, well-decorated home and some new creature companions – even if they might make a mess of the place.
Set to launch later this year, the Yogscast Games and Terahard’s Next Fest promises good, clean fun (plus a considerable amount of, ahem, ‘monster waste’). As the new Custodian of the Ministry of Monster Concealment, players will be tasked with maintaining the secret existence of the rascally Ragamuffins.
Though they have a tendency to hide, luckily (or perhaps unluckily) they tend to leave a trail in their wake. Players must hunt, mop and remove any evidence of Ragamuffins from the human world. Whether it’s a humble home or an entire mansion, no trace can remain if the monsters want to continue their peaceful coexistence!
These fluffy little guys all come with their own personalities, each one filling the players’ Monsteropedia as they work. Combining creature collecting with cleaning and decorating, Monster Mop Up offers an utterly gratifying experience for players from casual cleaners to total completionists.
The Monster Mop Up demo will be available as part of the February Steam Next Fest, which you will be able to check out on their Steam page from February 24, 2025.

Bristol, United Kingdom — January 28, 2025 | It may take a village to raise a child, but it will take a strong leader to appease the fearsome god of Kaya’s Prophecy in this February’s Steam Next Fest.
Players can challenge themselves to survive in a cut-throat jungle, armed only with a deck of cards and a couple of human sacrifices, and lead their tribe to glory. That is, so long as they can keep their God happy…
Created by developers Jérémie & Thibaut, and published by Yogscast Games, Kaya’s Prophecy is a card-based village builder featuring deckbuilding combat, with the slight added challenge of having an all-knowing, omnipresent deity to appease. Fans of the genre can revel in the satisfaction of careful resource management, the strategy of forging the perfect deck, and the heartwarming pride of watching their village grow. They just need to make sure their God doesn’t get mad and fry someone alive – simple!
As the tribe grows and develops, players can unlock new discoveries to improve village life (with their deity’s approval, of course). Craft innovative new technologies, tools and structures to cultivate a thriving community. New materials and rewards lie in unexplored territories, which tribe members can explore and conquer, if they’re brave enough.
Life under an omnipotent God isn’t all gloom and fear. Sure, villagers could be subject to deadly weather phenomena at the slightest provocation, but there are plenty of rewards to be given to the faithfully devoted. Players who keep their Gods well-fed with plenty of offerings can enjoy bountiful boons and goodies for their tribe. A considerable portion of the food supply in exchange for not dying is a pretty good deal, right?
The Kaya’s Prophecy demo will be available as part of the February Steam Next Fest, which you will be able to check out on their Steam page from February 24, 2025.

Publisher Tripwire Presents Releases the Latest Creation from Acclaimed Developer, The Game Kitchen, on PC, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch™
ROSWELL, Ga. – Jan. 28, 2025 –Tripwire Presents, the publishing division ofTripwire Interactive that focuses on releasing great games from other independent studios, today released The Stone of Madness, the new tactical stealth-adventure title created by The Game Kitchen, acclaimed developers of Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2. The title is currently available digitally on Windows PC via Steam (officially Steam Deck Verified), Epic Games Store and GOG, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch™ for a MSRP of $29.99 for the Standard edition and $34.99 for the Special edition, which includes a digital copy of the game, digital artbook with over 60 pages of gorgeous art, and the digital official soundtrack (OST) featuring 24 songs.
The Stone of Madness is a tactical stealth adventure game set in a Spanish madhouse in the late 18th century, presented with gorgeous hand-crafted, period-inspired artwork. Located in the Pyrenees, a timeworn Jesuit monastery is home both to a madhouse and an inquisitorial prison; five mysterious characters have been imprisoned between its walls under different pretenses. Plagued by cruel punishment, madness, and despair, they will soon devise a plan to escape this place and its evil inhabitants, relying on each other to face their deepest fears. Learn the strengths and phobias of each character, prepare the perfect plan, and try to help all five inmates escape their confinement with their lives, and sanity, intact.
“When I began working on The Stone of Madness, I quickly realized it would be the most complex project I had ever been a part of,” said Ana Trujillo Ruiz, Producer at The Game Kitchen. “The Stone of Madness is a pretty different game. The team pays a lot of attention to detail, and there are a lot of systems and interactions in place that constantly surprise you as you play. It feels unique, like its own kind of beast. Collaborating with Tripwire Presents’ team made the process significantly smoother, they really helped us bring our vision to life.“
“Tripwire Presents wants to thank our wonderful partners at The Game Kitchen for their hard work in cooking up this delightfully twisted tale of five mismatched inmates at a monastery turned insane asylum,” said Bryan West, Publishing Director at Tripwire Presents. “Together we are incredibly proud to bring The Stone of Madness to gamers across the world and feel confident that players will feel the same attachment to these uniquely flawed characters as we do.“
The Stone of Madness key features include:
Escape the Monastery: Control all five characters independently to aid in their escape, taking care to preserve each member’s sanity as much as possible. As they explore the corridors and rooms of the monastery they may discover useful tools or clues to aid their escape. They must avoid detection at all times, the Inquisition is not known for their mercy.
Manage the Madness: Each character carries their own unique traumas and phobias contributing to their own respective madness. Managing their mental health will be crucial to their escape, using a system of character progression and regression. Failing to maintain a character’s sanity can trigger new negative traits including paranoia, dementia, or bouts of violence.
Discover the Secrets Within: Choose between two different escape plans, with each campaign featuring unique stories, objectives, and surprises. These plans will play out through a day and night cycle separating daytime actions and nighttime preparations, giving the prisoners time to rest and recover. Most actions will be best performed during daytime, even with the Inquisition’s presence, however the darkness of night offers unique opportunities, and risks. There is a reason most inmates rarely venture out after dark.
Experience Stunning, Hand-painted Art Style: The visuals in The Stone of Madness have been lovingly hand-painted and animated, drawing heavy inspiration from 18th-century artist Francisco De Goya. An isometric perspective allows players to explore scenes and observe minute details as if they’re adventuring through a Goya painting brought to life.
Developed by The Game Kitchen and published by Tripwire Presents, The Stone of Madness launched on Windows PC via Steam (officially Steam Deck Verified), Epic Games Store and GOG, PS5™, Xbox Series X|S and the Nintendo Switch™ on Jan. 28, 2025.

The Seal is Fully Broken as Developer and Publisher Reveal more about the Thriller Inspired by Lynch, Kojima, and Nolan
Watford, UK – 28th of January, 2025 – Award-winning publisher Wired Productions and independent developer Pollard Studio are excited unveil an ambitious final trilogy of trailers that will lead up to the game’s eagerly anticipated release date, due to be announced very soon.

“The colors, the camera work, the character nuances; everything about his art feels intentional and profound. While we could never surpass a master like Lynch, we hope to learn from him—to understand how he created the Lynchian aesthetic and to adapt that sensibility into other forms of art. This is something we aspire to.”
