“As a dream project for our team, we couldn’t be more excited to officially launch MultiVersus,” Tony Huynh, Co-Founder and Game Director, Player First Games. “With such a deep roster of beloved characters, we’ve made sure to put a ton of care into every fighter, making each feel special in the way they look and feel, as well as their unique move set and combat mechanics. And with our PvE mode, Rifts, now in addition to PvP, we have more ways to play MultiVersus, coupled with our tailor-made rollback netcode to support online gameplay, making it easier for all players to enjoy a seamless experience.”

MultiVersus can be enjoyed in a variety of ways and launches with a range of modes available online and locally. Rifts features a PvE experience with boss fights, mini-games, and unique rewards, while serving as a way for players to learn mechanics, test characters, and sharpen skills, whether playing solo or cooperatively online with a friend. MultiVersus can also be enjoyed via the 2 vs. 2 team-based cooperative mode, 1 vs. 1 matches, 4-player free-for-all, co-op vs. A.I., custom online lobbies, The Lab (practice mode), tutorials, and local play matches supporting up to four competitors.

For Asuha, the self-proclaimed gambling genius, Chinchirorin, Mahjong, and Pachinko have become too easy to enjoy…but what about Texas Hold’em? While seeking a new challenge, she stumbles upon a secret gambling district where wicked witches use their powers to tilt the odds in their favor.

Know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em with Asuha’s special vision powers to gain the upper hand. Assess the stakes, then stack the deck and call bluffs or go all-in when the stars align.

Unveil the tactical trickery behind the witches’ house advantage by exploring the gambling district between tournaments. Search for clues to learn the truth behind their tricks, then turn the tables and hit the ultimate jackpot by exposing their fraud and achieving victory.

TOKYO — May 28th, 2024 — Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo, the story-rich puzzle adventure debut title from developer Dank Hearts, breaks through the noise to announce its development for PC via Steam, as revealed during INDIE Live Expo 2024.

Six teenagers awaken in “Noise Scramble City”, a downtown labyrinth mirroring their internal traumas. How did they arrive here? How do they return home? Unravel each character’s individual mysteries, and explore the enigmatic alternate reality around them in a story-rich narrative journey. 

With the cause (or culprit, perhaps?) responsible for the teens’ arrival cloaked in a cloud of amnesia, seek the clues hidden in the dark recesses of every hallucination. Scour the environment for memory fragments camouflaged in plain sight throughout the city limits. Search for answers in a blighted, topsy-turvy Tokyo-esque world, from graffiti-coated underground sewers to haunted, marionette-filled classrooms.

Help each protagonist face physical expressions of their tumultuous pasts. Navigate Zena’s stubbornness, Hozukis’ jealousy, Honoka’s paranoia, Kaito’s low self-esteem, Hiyori’s vanity, and Soto’s codependence to find the source of their troubles and escape the maze-like city once and for all. 

Shine a light on the origins of Noise Scramble City itself through interactions with the town’s maniacal feline host, the Spectre. Piece together the truth behind each teenager’s circumstances, where each conundrum solved illuminates an escape route from this mind prison. 

“In life, our own proclivities often lead to specific predicaments. Type-NOISE: Shonen Shojo is an abstract exploration of our own natures,” says MYU, Director of Planning, Scenario and Character Design at Dank Hearts . “There are many unexpected twists and turns in this narrative adventure, and we look forward to sharing more in the near future. Stay tuned!”

About BattleJuice Alchemist:

Juice, the alchemist, is called to Caribou Creek to fight the demons that roam the lands. As your unique version of Juice you explore the wilderness that once was New England. Fight evil in classic action RPG isometric top-down view and in bullet-time close combat.

Find and craft items with game-changing powers. Master BattleJuice Alchemist’s deck-building mechanics by arranging your compilation of flasks to suit your playstyle. Accentuate your character beyond character customization by using ritual magic as long-term buffs. Meet strange creatures from the Crossroads while the dark plot of BattleJuice Alchemist unravels.

Features: 

• Loot and Craft – As an alchemist you wear no armour and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.
• Unique Skill System – In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, “jucified” way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.
• Procedural Landscapes, Hand-crafted Towns – The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you complete the main story. Quest locations are still hand-crafted to tell compelling stories.
• Dark Lands to Discover – You are influenced by daytime and weather effects, and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.
• Classic isometric ARPG action – Fight your enemies from afar in classic top-down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, and prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.
• Close Combat with Bullet-time – Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands-on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one on one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.
