505 Pulse and Avantgarden invite players to venture through a mythic Finnish wilderness and embark on a transformative journey where family secrets, ancient folklore, and the living forest meet.
MILAN, Italy – October 14, 2026 – 505 Pulse and Avantgarden are excited to announce that Among the Trolls, the first-person adventure inspired by Finnish mythology and folklore, launches today on Steam. Players will journey into a remote Finnish forest where a missing family member, an untamed natural world, and ancient legends draw them toward a mystery hidden beneath the trees.
Set within a breathtaking wilderness of deep woods and unseen presences, Among the Trolls follows Anna as she travels from the United States to her grandfather’s remote cabin in Finland, only to find that he has vanished without a trace. What begins as an emotional search becomes a profound journey through a landscape where nature is alive with memory, myth, and meaning.
Through its rich experiential narrative, Among the Trolls unfolds through exploration, environmental storytelling, and encounters rooted in Finnish folklore, as players piece together Anna’s family history and the mystery surrounding her grandfather’s disappearance.
Watch theAmong the Trollslaunch trailer:
“Our goal has always been to create a world where the forest feels mysterious, ancient, and alive,” said Giorgio Macellari, Creative Director at Avantgarden. “We’re excited to welcome players into this hidden corner of Finland and let them uncover the legends, memories, and family truths woven into its landscape.”
The game’s atmosphere is further shaped by an original score from multi-award-winning composer Daniele Carmosino. Blending piano, cello, strings, analog synth, and voice, the music reflects Anna’s loss and isolation, transforming acoustic sources into something increasingly unfamiliar. This contrast also comes through in “Endless Exile,” featuring vocals by Maria Chiara Argirò and smoky, trip-hop-inflected textures that bring a darker, more contemporary edge to the soundtrack.
Enter a Living Finnish Wilderness: Explore a remote archipelago enveloped by a vast, living forest, where rugged shores, secluded places, and ancient mysteries await.
Discover Mythology in the Landscape: Encounter beliefs, beings, and stories inspired by Finnish folklore and the poetic traditions of the Kalevala.
Follow the Forest’s Hidden Signs: Read the environment for clues, traces, and subtle details that reveal the world’s deeper secrets.
Experience a Deeply Narrative Family Mystery: Follow Anna’s personal journey, piece together her family history, and uncover long-forgotten truths surrounding her grandfather’s disappearance.
Among the Trolls is now available on PC via Steam for $19.99 USD / £15.99. The game will be available at a special 15% release discount until October 27th.

Survive the Caribbean, rescue your crew and build a ship of your own in this pirate survival sandbox
Warsaw, Poland – October 14th, 2026 – After re-obtaining the rights to Pirates Republic, Golden Hind Games SA is celebrating the game being once again fully in their control with a brand new trailer. With the wind in their sails again, the team is also excited to announce that they are hard at work moving the game into Unreal Engine 5 and that they have plans to open alpha testing for members of their Discord. Pirates Republic is a survival sandbox where you can play solo or team up in online co-op to gather supplies, build a settlement and work towards launching your own ship.
Set in the Caribbean in 1714, Pirates Republic puts survival at the heart of the pirate adventure. After a disastrous voyage leaves you shipwrecked, getting back to sea means starting over: finding food, crafting tools, recovering materials and bringing a scattered crew together. Every shelter you build and castaway you rescue brings that goal closer.
Pirates Republic is a game about people who wanted to live on their own terms and this game offers you that same freedom. Construction works piece by piece – place walls, floors, roofs, and furniture however you want. Every building you raise is yours, shaped by your decisions and creativity. Design your ships from the keel up using a modular building system. Hull shape, mast configuration, deck layout, oar capacity – every choice affects speed, durability, and combat performance. Combine parts to create over 100 unique vessel configurations, from nimble canoes to heavily armed frigates. Equip them with dozens of weapon types – from light swivel guns to devastating heavy cannons – and watch your choices matter in every broadside.
Nassau grows with your Fame. Every NPC who arrives has a unique appearance, backstory, skills, and personality – all procedurally generated. Build relationships, recruit crews, romance allies, and manage a democratic society where your people expect fair shares and strong leadership. Fail them, and they’ll maroon you on a desert island. Plunder too aggressively and you better be sure you’ve built enough fortifications to hold off the royal fleets of England and Spain when they come for you.
Combat in Pirates Republic is brutal and personal. Board enemy ships and fight blade to blade with swords, axes, and improvised weapons. Draw your flintlock pistol or musket when you need to drop someone before they reach you. On the water, maneuver your ship into position and unleash devastating broadsides. Every engagement plays differently – whether you’re dueling a rival captain on a burning deck or defending Nassau’s walls against a full-scale naval assault.
About Golden Hind Games SA Golden Hind Games SA is the developer and publisher of Pirates Republic, a pirate survival sandbox combining exploration, settlement building, modular ship construction and combat on land and at sea.
The studio behind The Blackout Club and The Magic Circle brings its story-driven card battler to Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S
Tiburon, CA – October 14, 2026 –The Killing Stone, the occult horror deckbuilder from independent developer Question (The Blackout Club, The Magic Circle), will launch out of Early Access and into 1.0 on October 21 on Steam for PC. The studio also announced that The Killing Stone will arrive on Epic Games Store and on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
The Killing Stone1.0 Release Date Trailer:
Since launching in Early Access in February, Question has continued to expand and refine The Killing Stone with new optional story content, gameplay balancing, quality-of-life improvements, and updates informed by player feedback. These include additional questlines, adjustments to card decks and combat encounters, and improvements to the game’s bargaining and reward systems. With 1.0, players can access the fourth and final chapter, The Reckoning, bringing together the decks they’ve crafted throughout the first three chapters to take part in climactic rituals that determine the fate of the Svangard clan.
The Killing Stone is a duel of diabolical wit and strategy – which invites you to Beat the Devil at his own game. Your mission: travel to the Arctic Circle in order to save a cursed family from the clutches of demons. It features a first-person perspective, enchanted game board figurines which come to life with dazzling effects, and haunting audio.
Featuring the bewitching vocal talents of Emma Gregory (Baldur’s Gate 3) and Liam O’Brien (Critical Role), the entire story, including their voiced dialogue, can be played in authentic 17th-century English or a more contemporary style.
“Our intrepid Early Access community asked for more devious, specific cards to support their personal strategies to beat the Devil. They also requested a more intricate narrative, more voice acting from Emma Gregory and Liam O’Brien, and optional story choices which alter the endings for our cursed little family. For the past several months, we have worked to make their dark wishes come true,” said Question’s co-owner and narrative director Jordan Thomas. “We’re deeply grateful to them for helping shape The Killing Stone into the engrossing, tempting — and unique experience it is today.”
Key Features
A Living, Tactile Card Battler. A ceremonial game board centered around the Fanghella, a.k.a. the Killing Stone, featuring a collection of magical creature figurines, spells, and incantations that allow for a variety of clever tactics.
Unique Reserve and Demonic Bargaining Systems. A novel, strategic Reserve mechanic lets players stack units and buff incantations above the battle line for later deployment. Creature placement, spellcasting, and bargaining add powerful banes and boons to your deck affecting your chances of success.
Occult Horror Narrative with Meaningful Choices. Play as the Maven, a master of the dark arts – as you engage family members and animal familiars in search of clues to the haunting truth behind Mariken Svangård’s death. Choices at key moments alter the ending for each character.
Master Infernal Contract Law. To save the family, you must win their souls through Ritual combat against Hell’s most cunning demon lords. Every contract is a cut-throat Faustian bargain, signed in blood. Forge, swap, negotiate, and battle through a series of rituals, the outcome of which are permanent banes (or boons) carried to your final reckoning.
Dual-Language Storytelling with Acclaimed Voice Talent. Play the full story in either authentic 17th Century English or modern prose, with customizable text and voiceover options for either version. Featuring voice performances by Emma Gregory (Baldur’s Gate 3) and Liam O’Brien (Critical Role).
The Killing Stone launches into 1.0 on Steam for PC on October 21, 2026, and is also coming to Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at $19.99. For more information, visit The Killing StoneSteam page.

October 14, 2026 | Brocap Studio is excited to announce that Hubert, winner of Best Game at Game Access 2026, is out now on Steam.
Following recent appearances at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, and backed by over 80,000 Steam wishlists, the game’s official launch is finally here. A brief delay with Steam’s build review made the overconfident shepherd dog wait two extra days, but his herding career officially begins today.
“The past few days haven’t gone quite as planned, and we know you’ve been waiting to get your paws on the game,” said the Brocap Studio team. “We’re so grateful to everyone who supported us along the way. It’s been a long journey getting this little shepherd dog out into the world, and we can’t wait for you all to meet him.”
Hubert is available today on Steam for $19.99 / £15.99 / €19.49, with a 10% launch discount running for the first two weeks. A free demo is also available for anyone wanting to meet Hubert before adopting.
A PlayStation 5 release will follow, with news on the console launch coming soon.
About the Game
Meet Hubert, a fluffy, overconfident shepherd dog with a nose for trouble. He sees the world through movement, scent, instinct, and curiosity. You experience everything through his eyes. By his side is Lily, a sharp-witted kid who just convinced the grumpiest farmer in the valley to give them both a job. Their mission is to herd dozens of mildly chaotic sheep across the pastures. Easy, right?
Not when the sheep have the attention span of a goldfish, and the farmer has zero patience. Beyond the farm, in the uncharted northern wilderness, the land grows quieter and stranger. Something is out there. Not just a threat, but a call that Hubert understands in ways he cannot fully explain.
A tale of friendship, bravery, and barking at sheep.
Warning: This game contains mild mischief, stubborn sheep, and a dog who thinks he’s the main character. He might be right.
