Take the grand opening of your paleorific dino store on the go with the Nintendo Switch version coming this Halloween

July 18th 2024 – Ambertail Games and Team17 Digital announced earlier this week that the game will be coming to Steam this October 10th and now are hyped to revealed that the Nintendo Switch version will be available for lovers of all things jurassic and cute October 31st.

Amber Isle welcomes players to set up shop in the eponymous Amber Isle, a friendly village fit to burst with an eclectic mix of prehistoric animals (Paleofolk), who are desperate for players to breathe new life into their community and bring their home back from the brink of fossilisation.  

Watch the Nintendo Switch Date Announcement Trailer below 

Being the new owner of a failing shop is no mean feat, and once players have created their own Paleo-persona, they’ll need to roll up their sleeves and get their claws dirty as they work to maintain the shop. Players will spend their days bartering with stubborn customers, stocking shelves with everything their paleo pals might need, befriending the locals, improving the village, and exploring the surrounding areas for new items to craft, all in an attempt to convince their fellow Paleofolk to return to Amber Isle permanently.  

Did you know: The oldest known dinosaur is Saltopus and while scientists haven’t confirmed this we believe it was known by its friends as Ol’ Salty.

Amber Isle Key Features:  

• Open Shop:  Customise, name, and run your shop your way – use the profits to unlock new shop décor, walls, floors, and more, making the space uniquely yours.  
• Rebuild the Island: Rebuild, decorate, and unlock new areas to explore on Amber Isle, and with enough improvement, Paleofolk will start to take up residence on the island permanently.   
• Meet the Neighbours: Amber Isle is home to 48 different Paleofolk to befriend, including Ice Age mammals, Permian amphibians, marine life, invertebrates, and more. 
• Paleo-you: Express your penchant for the prehistoric and design your very own Paleofolk – change your clothes, crests, and colours, to create your perfect paleo-persona.

New gameplay trailer celebrates the mundanity of modern living

Glasgow, United Kingdom – July 18th, 2024 – Blue Rider Interactive is today thrilled to announce that its feature-length, dramatic third-person thriller Apartment Story will launch for PC via Steam on September 26th. A brand new gameplay trailer sets the tone, showcasing a range of immersive, everyday interactions available within the game, while spotlighting its highly-evocative audiovisual identity.

Apartment Story – Release Date & Gameplay Trailer

Apartment Story is a fast-paced, contemporary and mature single-player narrative experience about three people and a gun, set within a single apartment. It effortlessly juxtaposes the mundanity of modern living with taut and impactful storytelling.

Players assume the role of Arthur, a 27-year-old just trying to keep his head above water, whose life takes a twist when he receives an unexpected visit from his former roommate, Diane. She stays a while and together they party, but soon Blondey enters the picture and the good times turn bad very quickly.

Over a few days, players must navigate escalating real-time narrative events and interpersonal relationships, while maintaining Arthur’s needs and welfare via an immersive, sim-esque management system – which is all brought to life via a highly-detailed, atmospheric, yet grounded PSX-style aesthetic.

Apartment Story gives players the opportunity to express their own personality through gameplay choices made in the downtime between its narrative beats. Will they choose to participate in a dangerous and dramatic narrative? Or will they keep the front door closed, eating and procrastinating until they’ve shut the world out for good?

Whatever they decide, the cold metal of a gun is hidden within the darkness of the apartment somewhere…

Apartment Story Features

• Absorb yourself in a fast-paced, dramatic thriller that centres around three distinct personalities which evolve as the gun is introduced and the stakes are raised.
• You are invited to take an active role in Arthur’s life and welfare through a deep and immersive needs management system. Eat food, pee, wash your hands, sleep, smoke, write, watch TV, shave, change clothes, nap, shower, take drugs, wash the dishes, turn off the lights, drink beer, listen to music, top up your electric, answer the door and shoot someone with a real gun. Engaging in these activities will keep your Life stats up and Arthur poised for the drama coming his way, if that’s what you’ve chosen.
• Tidy and organise the objects within your apartment however you desire by picking up any small object and placing them anywhere within reach.
• Real-time night and day cycles.
• A feature-length experience, which means you can grab yourself a drink and complete the game within a single night. Playtime: approximately 90-120 minutes.

The game will be playable this coming weekend exclusively at Glasgow Independent Games Festival which takes place on Saturday, July 20th at Civic House, Glasgow.

Apartment Story will launch for PC via Steam on September 26th, 2024, and is available to wishlist now.
