About House Flipper Remastered Collection

House Flipper is back! Renovate houses, sell them and make a profit, this time with upgraded graphics, reimagined characters and long-awaited quality of life changes with a whole collection of DLCs in House Flipper Remastered Collection. In the game, players will start their journey as a House Flipper. Flipping is a tiresome and challenging work, but with their trusty tools, every player can bring the houses to their full potential!

Gameplay in House Flipper Remastered Collection hasn’t changed from the original. You’ll still be responsible for renovating the old, filthy apartments or destroyed houses needing a second life. So grab your trusty tools and prepare to clean, paint, furnish and many more before selling and making a profit from every house in the game.

House Flipper Remastered Collection bundles all previous expansions in one ultimate edition, making it the most complete version of the game. It doesn’t matter if you’re a new flipper or an old one returning for more. You’re in for a treat. In addition to the already known additions to the game, House Flipper Remastered Collection brings a whole new set of content. You’ll find fresh interactions, surprising character stories, and new decorating challenges that expand the game’s emotional and creative potential.

The visual upgrades go far beyond just resolution. Players will immediately notice enhanced lighting, redesigned UI, and upgraded item textures, which make the whole flipping experience more polished and satisfying. Thanks to the technical improvements in this edition, every mop swipe, every freshly painted wall, and every time placed feels smoother and more rewarding.

What truly elevates this remaster beyond a visual upgrade is its attention to narrative detail. Carefully reworked missions come alive thanks to a full cast of voice actors and thoughtful character writing. Long-time flippers will be glad to see familiar faces, while newcomers will meet vibrant, fully fleshed-out characters with believable motivations and stories to tell. In this version, flipping houses often means uncovering something deeper behind the walls.

One of the standout additions of the Remastered Collection is the “Heart” content – a set of six heartwarming, story-rich jobs that dive into unexpected themes of affection, passion, and connection. Each scenario introduces its own narrative thread, cozy atmosphere, and a batch of brand-new decorative items – nearly 800 in total – to perfectly capture the vibe of every unique space.

Alongside the content, players will appreciate community-requested improvements such as the Naming system, the new Favorites tab on the tablet, and an enhanced Photomode with more flexibility. Dark Mode for the interface also makes longer sessions easier on the eyes. These changes streamline gameplay and allow more freedom and personalization than ever before.

House Flipper Remastered Collection is a celebration of everything players loved about the original – now upgraded, expanded, and more charming. With all expansions included, thoughtful additions, and a range of technical improvements, this is the ultimate experience for both long-time fans and newcomers ready to pick up the hammer and start flipping.

First-Person Survival Bar Management On the Rocks Coming to PC via Steam Early Access in 2026

In the apocalypse, the water ran out, but the booze didn’t

Ankara, Türkiye – April 24th, 2026 – Independent publisher 312 Interactive and developer LootBag Studios today announced On the Rocks, a first-person survival bar management game launching on PC via Steam Early Access in 2026. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, the game centres on a lone bar operating in a world where clean water is gone and staying alive depends on purifying whatever can be scavenged. Players must turn limited resources into valuable drinks to sustain, grow and expand their post-collapse establishment.

On the Rocks is a first-person survival crafting and bar management game set in a desolate desert landscape with little clean water left, where players keep a lone bar running against the odds. Venture into the dangerous wasteland to gather toxic liquids, plants and materials, while maintaining stamina and hydration. Injuries will directly impact your survivability, reducing your maximum health or increasing dehydration from bleeding. Exploration is risky, especially as night falls and vicious, hostile threats come out to play. Staying out too long can push resources to the limit, and failure can mean losing valuable supplies, or not making it back at all.

Back at the bar, players transform gathered resources into useful supplies. Command massive industrial machines to purify liquids and ferment them into valuable beverages through a hands-on brewing system that rewards mastery. The bar is both a safe haven and a central gameplay hub, where players manage stock and pricing, upgrade equipment and manage the day-to-day operations. Serve stragglers of the broken world, each with distinct demands, attitudes and expectations. Reputation is critical to long-term success, shaping who visits and what opportunities emerge.

Balancing endurance with business management is essential, as success behind the bar fuels further exploration, creating a gameplay loop that blends resource management, crafting, and player-driven progression. How long can you keep the only functioning bar in the wasteland running?

“We’re excited to reveal On the Rocks and invite players into its harsh, sun-scorched world,” said Aysu Ünal, co-founder at 312 Interactive. “Our game is a love letter to post-apocalyptic classics like Fallout and Mad Max. Fans of survival and management games can look forward to a unique blend of scavenging, crafting, and running a bar – a combination rarely explored in games. We can’t wait to see how players endure our harsh, unforgiving world, while building the last bar worth visiting in the apocalypse!”

Take a sneak peak at the base-building and survival systems in this “open universe” sandbox

Culver City, USA – April 24, 2026 – Snail Games USA are pleased to unveil the second Dev Diary for their upcoming AAA space-themed “open universe” survival title, For The Stars. Playing as an intrepid explorer and scientist, For The Stars invites you to travel from world to world, uncovering the secrets of alien civilizations, seeking out rare and exotic creatures and harnessing resources to tame the treacherous biomes you encounter on a vast array of diverse planets waiting to be explored.

Hot on the heels of its presentation at last month’s GDC (Game Developers Conference), this sneak peak at For the Stars features an overview at the base-building and survival gameplay you’ll encounter as you go on your intergalactic expedition. Upon landing on a new planet, you’ll need to create an automated factory of pipes, ducts, conveyer belts, and drones to move liquids, solids, and gasses from extraction to storage. 

Gathering resources won’t be easy, as you’ll need to make difficult decisions about what sorts of vehicles to take to survive the hazardous climates and creatures you’ll encounter, as well as haul a worthwhile amount of cargo back to your base. Ecosystems are fully organic in For The Stars, so wiping out a nest of alien insects will have a domino effect across the neighboring flora and fauna.

In For The Stars‘ ambitious persistent multiplayer universe, you will establish and expand outposts across the cosmos, conquer the challenges of hostile biomes, forge alliances, and build a legacy that spans the galaxy.

Key Features of For The Stars:

  • Strange Alien Ruins: Discover remnants of lost civilizations, ancient ruins, and hidden treasures that tell the stories of the cosmos.
  • Unique Resources: Collect and harness strange resources found on different planets. Build advanced outposts, craft powerful tools, and develop cutting-edge technology needed to overcome each world’s challenges.
  • Advanced Construction: Establish and expand outposts on various planets. Balance your needs with laboratories, factories, and living quarters. Your ingenuity and strategy will determine the success of your colonies and determine if they can withstand the trials of space.
  • Extensive Research: Start with advanced technologies that you can innovate on. Unlock new technologies by studying alien artifacts and natural phenomena. Research to help you overcome specific challenges, build more efficient outposts, create advanced equipment, and explore further into the unknown.
  • Customizable Spacecraft: Design and build your own spacecraft to travel between planets. Each ship can be tailored to your specific needs using resources and technology you have found, whether it’s for combat, exploration, or resource gathering.
  • Dynamic Combat: Engage in fast-paced combat using both futuristic weapons and special abilities with alien origins. Customize your arsenal for counterplay against hostile alien creatures, enemy players, and other threats. 
  • Multiplayer Exploration: Team up with friends or make new allies as you explore the galaxy together in a persistent multiplayer universe. Collaborate on building projects, share discoveries, and tackle challenges as a united front. Choose to enter contested regions to fight other players for control of the galaxy.

Stickerino brings fast-paced, high-score roguelite deckbuilding to PC this Summer

Slap stickers, stack absurd multipliers, and outplay the mysterious Sticker Wizard in a fast-paced roguelite deckbuilder

Montpellier, France – April 24th, 2026 – Independent developer contresort today announced Stickerino, an intense roguelite deckbuilder launching on PC via Steam in Summer 2026. Blending addictive score-chasing gameplay with deep deckbuilding strategy, Stickerino challenges players to create wild combinations using stickers, cards, and game-changing Monstraks. Stickerino will be featured on April 25th during the Games Made in France Showcase, where the developers will present live gameplay.

A playable demo will be available on April 30th as part of Steam Deckbuilder Fest, giving players an early chance to experience the game ahead of its full launch.

In Stickerino, players build their deck and push their score to astronomical heights by slapping stickers onto cards and chaining together powerful combos. Each run is a race against the mysterious Sticker Wizard, whose relentless score thresholds demand clever planning, quick thinking, and a willingness to bend the rules.

Gameplay is split between intense challenge rounds and shop phases where players build and improve their deck. During rounds, players match cards based on shared attributes like colour, shape, and quantity to generate points, boosted by stickers and multipliers. Between rounds, players spend earned currency in the shop to refine their build – picking up new cards, stacking stickers, unlocking Monstraks, or removing weak links to improve their chances in the next challenge.

With over 300 modifiers, 15 stackable sticker types, 40 unique Monstraks, and six playable characters, Stickerino offers a huge variety of ways to play across runs. Monstraks introduce powerful twists that change how the game works, opening up new strategies and ways to push scores even higher. As players progress, they’ll also unlock new characters, each bringing a different playstyle and approach to mastering the Sticker Wizard’s challenges.

Stickerino is all about that ‘just one more run’ feeling,” said Claisse Jean, Lead Game Designer at contresort. “We wanted to create something that’s easy to pick up, but lets players get creative, push the limits, and chase ridiculously high scores.”

Key Features:

  • Explosive Score-Based Gameplay: Stack stickers and multipliers to generate massive scores and discover powerful combos.
  • Deep Deckbuilding Strategy: Build and refine your deck across runs with changing shop choices and evolving strategies.
  • Monstraks System: Unlock and use powerful tokens that change the rules and open up new ways to play.
  • High Replayability: Experiment with 300+ modifiers, dozens of stickers, and multiple characters for endless variety.
  • Fast-Paced Roguelite Runs: Jump into short, high-intensity sessions designed for quick play with real depth.

Inspired by genre-defining roguelite deckbuilders while carving out its own identity, Stickerino is designed for players who enjoy strategic, replayable games and fast-paced, high-risk, high-reward runs. Stickerino will launch on PC via Steam in Summer 2026.
