Paris, France – 30th April 2024: Prepare for a groovy good time – Realcast, an award-winning studio founded by industry veterans, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Kickstarter for their side-splitting VR puzzler game, Hide the Corpse!  To celebrate the Kickstarter, the studio has released a new trailer as well as a free demo which is available to play on Meta Quest and can be downloaded here.

By backing Realcast, players will get access to exclusive rewards, early access to the game, and a chance to be part of the development process through early access to the game and giving the team feedback. 

“Hide the Corpse is all about unleashing your creativity and improvisation skills in a race against the clock,” says Clément Bigot, Creative Director at Realcast. “The unexpected is around every corner, making this game a blast to play and even more fun to watch others experience the chaos. We can’t wait to see what players think after playing the demo”

Key Features:

  • Far Out Physics Playground: Grab the bod (and anything else that isn’t nailed down) and prepare for some wild physics action.  This isn’t an average corpse – the body will bend, twist and contort in ways that will have players screaming ‘FAR OUT’
  • Time [warp] Crunch: Think fast! With only 4 minutes on the clock, every second counts in this hilarious quest to dispose of the evidence before the fuzz find out.
  • Infinite 70s Funkadelic Fun: Over 10 levels and 60 mind-blowing groovy hiding spots to test your skills against the clock, man. When it’s all said and done, it ain’t over – unlock righteous mini-games that’ll have you wigging out with far-out challenges.
  • ‘Right On’ Adventure: Forget the blood and guts, this isn’t some B-movie nightmare. Hide the Corpse is all about having a groovy time and using your skills to stash a stiff in the most outrageously creative ways possible.

Hide the Corpse is now available to support on Kickstarter, with the demo available to play on Meta Quest.

20+ new items: Selling points, production equipment, storage sheds & more

  • Distribution center & markets add new layers of gameplay around supply & demand
  • Daily demands reward fast delivery and smart logistical management
  • Farmers may wash their crops – and increase the yield!

More logistics, rising profits and increased sustainability: GIANTS Software publishes the Farm Production Pack for Farming Simulator 22 for PC and consoles, adding more placeables, machines and gameplay mechanics around supply and demand. The launch trailer introduces many of the more than twenty new items, which enhances business opportunities for virtual farmers in the genre-leading simulation game.

Washing Crops & Solar Panels

New stationary equipment achieves higher selling prices: The washing drum for various crops, VDW’s Cleaner Tiger, which cleans and cuts sugar beets, as well as a remote-controlled cleaning robot for solar panels. Sustainability is also supported by an additional wind turbine and the Lely Sphere, a circular manure-handling system.

The Farm Production Pack is developed by Design, Modeling & Innovation (DMI) and published by GIANTS Software. It’s now available for Farming Simulator 22 on PC, Mac, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
