• When beginning your run, you select a Tidewalker’s Story-Link to follow: from DigixArt team members, friends, streamers, or random global players.
• You may visit the same locations, but the events, characters, and outcomes can differ entirely based on the choices made before you.

Friends who steal together, stay together! Well…at least the living ones do!

BOSTON — 15 April 2026 — Burgle Supply Company (formerly titled Good Boy), the co-op horror comedy about bungling burglars looting a nightmarish neighborhood from the veteran developers at Terrible Posture Games, will bring its demonic pet shenanigans to PC via Steam 1.0 with a host of new content on Tuesday, 12 May 2026.

Welcome to Burgle Supply Company, helping thieves help themselves! Up to six friends can steal their dream future by committing larceny in a totally, uh, normal neighborhood, full of amazing stuff to steal. Get in, swipe sweet loot to meet the mandatory goal, tackle optional objectives if the group feels bold, then make out like the bandits that you literally are.

HR legally requires disclosure of one teeny occupational hazard…well, buglars may encounter some slightly unsettling (and possibly bloodthirsty) mutated pets during their heists. But that’s nothing professional thieves can’t handle! Conduct missions swiftly and QUIETLY, or risk becoming a masked human chew toy for a very good boy.

Prepare for typical workplace hazards, including explosive-egg-laying slugs, ghost moths, giant lobster fish, and more, as well as the occasional accidental death caused by well-intending accomplices. Complete missions, return to home base, and deck out the hideaway with a plethora of decorations and upgrades to assist with future break-ins. Burglarize in style with customizable outfits and more than 130 fun masks to collect.  In the 1.0 release, slink through six never-before-seen levels with abundant valuables just ripe for the taking. Discover 80 additional masks, including new “Key” masks that can unlock hidden wings mid-heist. Experienced burglars can trick out the basement with tons of added upgrades…if they’re lucky enough to escape three new scientific monstrosities stalking the neighborhood streets. 

“Burgle Supply Company brings a fresh take to the friendslop genre with individually hand-built levels, fun and silly masks to loot and collect, and of course, the giant mutant dog hunting down robbers at every turn,” said Joe Mirabello, Creative Director at Terrible Posture Games. “There was a newly-released horror movie about a dog in distress with the same name and, you know, that dog-actor really is a good boy. He should get the name. Our game has grown during Early Access to focus more on Burglary antics anyway!”

Burgle Supply Company will launch on PC via Steam 1.0 on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, for $7.99 USD/€7,99/¥1,050 with English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language support.

Grow plants, raise them from the dead, and enjoy a casual, semi-idle game perfect for lo-fi vibing throughout the day 

[Canada] April 14, 2026 – Silverstring Media and indie.io are delighted to announce that Greenhearth Necromancer will release on Steam on May 11, 2026! This charming semi-idle game puts players in the role of Echo, an enby witch and a newly graduated Actual Necromancer who just inherited their late grandmother’s apartment. As a new arrival at the Greenhearth co-op, they will have to revive a dead garden and figure out their place in the community, all the while enjoying a lo-fi soundtrack and a cozy, chill gameplay experience.

Casual, relaxing gardening remains at the core of Greenhearth Necromancer, with a deliberate design that upends conventional idle game designs. Rather than anxiously watching countdown tickers for the next dopamine hit, players are free to grow and revive Echo’s garden as they see fit, experimenting with necromantic spells, magical potions, and more traditional methods of gardening.

Each plant responds differently to how much sunlight or water it receives, whether it’s alive through conventional means or undead through unconventional ones — and figuring out how to keep them thriving is one side of the coin. The other is figuring out where Echo belongs in the community. Their grandmother was a pillar of Greenhearth’s community, and her grandchild finds themselves (mostly) warmly welcomed.

Players are free to define how they fit among the other magical and non-magical residents of the cooperative, accompanied by a quirky familiar, an animated compost heap that will gingerly help turn any gardening mishaps into fertilizer. The narrative is explored through an event deck, mixing key story beats with random events to let players choose when they want to focus on gardening and when to explore the heartfelt story — penned by Lindsay Ishihiro of I Was a Teenage Exocolonist fame.

This lack of pressure is a deliberate choice, designed to upend the “traditional” semi-idle gameplay conventions. It can be safely left to idle in the background, with a gentle lofi soundtrack providing an excellent background for work, study, or rest. At the same time, it’s always ready to be picked up at any moment and enjoyed to provide a calming break from the daily anxieties.

Ready to experience a new kind of idle game? Greenhearth Necromancer and a new take on gardening release on Steam on May 11, 2026!

Watch the first action-packed gameplay trailer now

PARIS –April 14, 2026 – Studios Rever Games and Radical Theory are proud today to announce the development of their brand-new title: Clockfall. Developed by Rever Games, an independent team of five passionate creators, and co-published by Rever Games and Radical Theory, the game aims to shake up the action-RPG roguelite genre by integrating ruthless time management and “Village Defense” mechanics. Clockfall will launch into Steam Early Access this year, with a full release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S planned for 2027.

In the meantime, you can join an ongoing playtest session on PC by registering here. 

Escape the nightmare before the clock hits zero

In Clockfall, players are plunged into the heart of an infinite nightmare loop. To escape, they must traverse lethal dungeons, slay fearsome enemies, and defeat colossal bosses.

But here, brute force isn’t enough. Time is your most precious resource. Every second spent in the dungeon is counted. To extend their exploration and hope to reach the exit, players must make heart-wrenching choices:

• Invest resources to upgrade combat stats.
• Sacrifice immediate progress to “buy” extra time.
• Optimize every movement to reach the depths of the nightmare before the fatal end.

A Strategic Twist: The Village Defense Phase

The originality of Clockfall lies in its dual rhythm. The adrenaline of exploration is interspersed with intense Village Defense phases.

Everything acquired during your dungeon runs – resources, upgrades and experience – must be put to use to protect your settlement. Faced with increasingly massive waves of enemies, your ability to hold the line will determine the acquisition of permanent stats, weapons, spells and bonuses, essential to getting stronger for your next run and eventually breaking the time loop.

About Clockfall

Your village has fallen, razed by the hordes of Destiny. But its downfall is only the beginning. A mystical clock now looms amidst the ruins, forcing you to relive the massacres from the past in a relentless loop. In these dreams, time is short and always runs out. Will you seize this cycle to defy fate and save your kin?

Master the Clock, Break the Loop

The clock is ticking. Fight through the dungeons of your memories before time runs out. Danger is everywhere: prepare for fast-paced, visceral combat against the servants of Destiny. Master the land to optimize your runs, gather resources, and unlock powerful weapons, spells, and lethal defenses to protect your village from the coming invasion.

As you get stronger, dive back into the fight against Destiny and defend your village once more. Your survival – measured in time – will unlock permanent time bonuses OR devastating powers.

Time is your ultimate resource, but your hero’s lethality is just as vital. Every choice matters: forge your character and sharpen your strategy. You must strike a balance between gaining time and boosting your firepower. Master the synergy between dungeon crawling and village defense to finally break the loop and save your kin.

Key Features

• Experience a unique hybrid of Dungeon Crawler and Action-RPG, featuring intense village defense phases.
• Time is your ultimate resource. Master the clock and bend it to your will to survive both the depths of the dungeons and village invasions.
• Engage in visceral, fast-paced combat blending steel and magic, where roguelite elements constantly shift the rules and balancing.
• Deep character progression and evolution directly shape your playstyle and overarching strategy.
• Explore, learn, adapt, die, and repeat – master the synergy between dungeon crawling and village defense to finally break the loop.

After a breakout Steam Next Fest demo that saw nearly 900,000 players begin their adventures, the Early Access launch of Windrose provides dozens of hours of content and fan-requested features from the demo! Create the perfect pirate playstyle with an array of skills, talents and gear, and experience seamless land-to-ship gameplay with a focus on exploration, base building and combat. Sail the open seas with three totally new vessels, and one of the most-requested features from the demo: co-op ship controls, where a crew can share control of a vessel’s weaponry, teaming up to take down the enemy.

Key Features

• A Pirate Tale for the Ages: Welcome to the Age of Piracy! You are a captain who dares to challenge the legendary Blackbeard. What starts as a grounded story of survival and revenge will put you in the middle of a conflict between empires, pirate clans and mysterious dark powers looming on the horizon.
• Conquer the High Seas: Move seamlessly between ship and shore as you adventure. Naval combat is shaped by your decisions, whether you’re trading cannon fire at range or closing in for fierce boarding actions. Equip and customize your ship to suit your playstyle, from nimble ketch to versatile brig and colossal frigate. When the cannons go silent, claim your spoils and share a shanty with your crew as you sail onward.
• Survival Perfected: Explore a variety of vibrant biomes, gather resources, and build your base, from simple shelters to elaborate forts and mansions. Recruit NPCs and grow your settlement to speed up harvesting and production. Venture into the uncharted lands, featuring nearly 100 handcrafted points of interest (dungeons, ancient temples, shipwrecks, abandoned camps and more) containing a wide variety of secrets and treasures, though such rewards rarely come without risk.
• Become a Legendary Swashbuckler: Hack, slash, bash and shoot your way to glory! Master a vast arsenal of melee weapons and firearms, parry and dodge enemy attacks, and make good use of different strikes to gain the upper hand. Put your skills to the test against challenging bosses and plunder their treasures!

Windrose is out now in PC Early Access on Steam, the Epic Games Store and Stove.

* Up to 8 players can play Windrose together, but Kraken Express suggests playing with 4 for the best gameplay experience, especially in the late game
