CaTHaRSiS – The last of atelier – Explores Art, Memory, and Humanity on PC in 2026

An introspective walking simulator invites you to walk inside the paintings of memorable artists’ famous paintingsTOKYO — Sept. 7, 2026 — CaTHaRSiS ~The last of atelier~, an immersive art adventure from solo developer Mana and publisher Kodansha Creators’ Lab, wanders through worlds within wondrous works of art on PC via Steam in 2026.

A nameless being awakens in an empty world with zero knowledge of humanity. Amidst the bright white void, a mysterious voice calls out, beckoning the being towards mankind’s greatest illustrations to understand the nature of the soul. 

Ten iconic paintings hang in the quiet, acting as doors to alternate dimensions where memories frozen in time can be experienced like never before. Explore lush 3D landscapes inspired by the works of master painters such as Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, and more across a vivid journey that changes from 3D exploration to side-scrolling and even serene boat rides.

Step through the canvas into the amber alleys of Van Gogh’s Café Terrace at Night, theemerald meadows ofMonet’s Woman with a Parasol, the gilded passion of Klimt’s The Kiss, and more iconic works, each with its own viewpoint and playstyle. Immerse within these works, experience the emotions captured within, and piece together the memories they hold. 

Enlist the help of two companions on this journey toward enlightenment: the wolf, a wild symbol of instinct and wildness, and an owl who symbolizes wisdom and reason. Uncover new depths to each painting with the wolf’s speed and the owl’s flight, slowly filling your empty heart with color, light, and beauty.

“One of the guiding principles for CaTHaRSiS was the ability to experience famous works in brilliant new ways,” said solo developer Mana. “Viewing them from within a reimagined interpretation of each scene, you’re able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere and memories embedded in each painting, which offers an experience you can’t get by simply walking through a gallery or museum.” 

CaTHaRSiS ~The last of atelier~ will launch on PC via Steam in 2026 with language options in English and Japanese. Wishlist it today! For additional information, please visit Kodansha Game Creators’ Lab official website and follow Mana on X/Twitter for all of the latest updates.

Tend a Bountiful Garden in the Heart of the City in Cozy Indoor Farming Sim Tiny Eden

Transform a drab apartment into a lush greenhouse, reap a rich harvest

NICOSIA, Cyprus – 8 Sept. 2026 – Tiny Eden, the cozy indoor farming sim from developer Bajka Games and publisher Digital Vortex Entertainment, cultivates a futuristic urban garden today on PC via Steam!

Begin a new life in a bustling but desolate metropolis, one windowsill box and flower pot at a time. Starting with a sparse apartment, order new furniture, set up a workspace, and get busy gardening. Go from a single packet of seeds to a sunroom filled with a wide variety of fruit and vegetable plants, carefully tending to each one’s unique needs and growth cycle. 

Seek new tools online, research plant care tips, and learn new recipes to make this indoor garden grow and thrive. Learn to make jams, sweets, and hearty meals using the harvest, and connect with other lonesome residents as this indoor garden takes root. 

Don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the moment. After the morning’s watering, head up to the roof of the apartment building to relax with a nice cup of coffee, take in the view of the sprawling city, and maybe start planning for a bigger community garden on top of the high-rise!

“With Tiny Eden, I want to share my love of little meditative daily rituals so important to maintaining balance in life,” said Aliaksandr Piskun, CEO of Bajka Games. “This is a game about taking things slowly and living in the moment, but it’s also a serious simulation of raising and caring for plants – my dream is that players find it as rewarding as I have.”

Tiny Eden is now available for PC via Steam for $14.99, with a 10% launch discount and bundles available. The Extra Cozy Edition includes the Digital Botanical Companion e-book, two extra looks for the cat, five drone skins, 13 pot skins, and six new wall designs, and is available for $17.98.

The Digital Botanical Companion is a beautifully illustrated botanical atlas featuring all the plants you’ll encounter in Tiny Eden, complete with useful growing information, botanical details, and lots of extra flavor to make getting to know your garden even more rewarding.

Convince them to sign contracts with Food Devils and then organize expeditions to collect irresistible ingredients to bring back, keeping your restaurant growing. 

Combining traditional roguelite gameplay with TRPG elements, players can customize their restaurant for maximum appeal as well as their characters while battling monsters and looting the spoils to make the next tempting dish to lure even more adventures. The dishes aren’t the only temping thing here, though… Like any great dish, RPGs are better served with a healthy dose of romance, and Food Devils delivers. Romance any of the Food Devils or pair two Food Devils together while being mindful of strategy when you assemble your party: Use Devil Contracts to boost skills and mobility across a variety of classes that are best suited for your schemes. Every adventurer is unique with randomized looks and stats, so no two runs are ever the same. Every Food Devil, though, is handcrafted and as appetizing as the dishes your restaurant

MAYDAY: THE SURVIVAL ISLAND CRASHES ONTO STEAM NOVEMBER 2

Announced live from PAX West. Pequi Studios drew all 24 of its islands by hand, then buried something under them.

Goiânia, Brazil- September 4, 2026. Something was on the island long before the crash. Mayday: The Survival Island, the open-world survival game from three-person Brazilian studio Pequi Studios, arrives on Steam on November 2, 2026. The date was announced today on the show floor at PAX West, where the game is playable through September 7 at the indie.io booth, stand #316. Anyone not in Seattle can play the demo on Steam right now.

Unlike other survival games, Pequi Studios did not procedurally generate its open world. The studio drew all 24 islands by hand, in top-down pixel art, with every detail designed to support a natural sense of progression. That same attention to detail extends to the animation, with more than 1,000 individual frames created for the main character. While the world is carefully crafted, resource distribution and island locations retain an element of randomness, giving each playthrough its own challenges. 

Mayday starts with everything players expect from a survival game: gathering, crafting, farming, cooking, exploration, and combat, but puts its own creative spin on what comes next. Players can turn natural resources into potions, learn to raise and herd sheep, bring buffalo back to their farm, and discover new ways to use the world around them. Rather than a collection of disconnected survival mechanics, these systems are designed to feed into one another, so every discovery hands players another way to survive, explore, and chase whatever it is they are after.  Progression in Mayday is meant to feel natural: the more players learn about the island and its resources, the more possibilities open up. 

The island itself is full of mysteries, and there is always something new to discover, from hidden treasures and unexplored places to the truth behind the crash and why players ended up there. As they push deeper, new paths and areas open up, the dangers grow, and the answers begin to come into focus. What starts as a fight for survival gradually becomes something more personal: a journey of discovery as they uncover the secrets of the island and what brought them there 

Pequi Studios is a three-person independent team based in Goiânia, Brazil, in the heart of the Cerrado, home of the pequi fruit that inspired the studio’s name. Supporting the local game development community matters to the team, and the studio ran playtests with students at SESI Goiânia, working alongside them so future developers could see how a commercial game is built and tested. The same care shows up in the art, which hides things for players paying attention: nods to the pop culture the team grew up on, and a few characters modeled on the developers themselves. 

“What I am proudest of is the way the gameplay and the story weave together, and that players get to choose where and when they push the story forward,” says Daniel Siqueira, Artist and Narrative Designer at Pequi Studios. “ I am looking forward to seeing how people decide to survive, and to watching them find all the things we tucked away for them.”

Mayday: The Survival Island supports single-player and will be available in English and Portuguese (Brazil). The demo is live on Steam now, and the game is available to wishlist ahead of launch.
