More news on the upcoming update for Unusual Findings will be released soon! 

Watch the Unusual Findings gameplay trailer below:

It’s the 80s, and the Christmas is coming. Young friends, Vinny, Nick and Tony are trying out their new cable signal descrambler when trying to decrypt a pay-per-view adult channel, they pick up the distress signal of an alien spaceship crash-landed in the woods near their town… Things only get weirder as they realize that the towering alien is killing very specific members of their community!

Explore the world oozing with nostalgia, check the Video Buster Store for clues, challenge other kids at the Laser Llamas Arcades, go learn a new trick at The Emerald Sword comic store, try to get along with the punk-looking Lost Boys at their hideout or even dare to ask THE BULL, the quintessential 80s Action hero, for some help!

Your decisions do matter, and the way you make these three friends interact with each other increasingly affects their friendship and the whole story, changing the way they solve the game puzzles, the locations they visit, the answers they find, the story, everything.

Uncover the truth hidden behind the alien invasion… well sort of. Why here? Why is it killing locals? How can the boys stop it? Will they tune in to the adult channel after all? The answers to these and other questions… in Unusual Findings.

  • Follow the Sci-Fi coming-of-age story. Three friends fighting together against the unknown… things (maybe against some known things too).
  • See, Grab and Talk action tokens, an inventory to use and combine items and your wits it’s all you need to play.
  • Stylized Pixel Art. All the charm of pixel art of the past with more colors and the new effects of the future. Some pixels look so real they can almost jump out of the screen!
  • Go back to a simpler time where mix tapes were a thing, Commodore 64 was a king, kids could play outside late at night and the only thing to worry about was THE GIANT KILLER ALIEN TRYING TO GET YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.
  • The decisions you make affect the relations between characters and thus the puzzles, the game progression and the story.
  • The most radical music a synthesizer can play. Cool popular Synthwave Music alongside catchy tunes made exclusively for the game to power up the 80s vibes.

Unusual Findings is available now on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch along with a playable PC demo to try before you buy!

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – June 21st, 2024 – SRG Studios is excited to announce that their online co-op, bullet heaven roguelike, Champion Shift, will be launching into full release today on Steam, with the PlayStation port on track to release later this year. This high-octane title has seen a number of exciting updates since it first released in early access back in April, including a new champion, new abilities, and new stages.

It’s Payback Time
Awaken as the fabled King Arthur Pendragon, a captured celestial champion locked in a lab for experimentation. Begin your adventure and take a stand against the Dominion, the oppressive organization that’s taken over the mortal realm and looks to increase their might through stolen powers and ancient relics. Fight back, free your fellow legends, and settle into your new-found car-shifting ability as you battle past the hoards of enemies sent to stop you and bring you back under Dominion control. Band together with other famed fighters like Athena, Sun Wu Kong, Gilgamesh and others as you work your way across different maps, completing missions, increasing your power, and felling stage bosses before finally taking on the final boss and putting a stop to the Dominion.

Transforming Powers
Experience what Champion Shift has to offer the roguelike genre with its captivating characters, unique playstyle expressions, and powerful abilities to outfit your loadout. Feel the thrill of pedal to the metal as you swap between car and champion, upgrading your kit for both as you take on the Dominion army. Chill to the bone your enemies with the Kiss of Poliʻahu, wield the crashing waves of Ryujin’s Aura, and muster up the might of a Minotaur, while installing machine guns, rocket launchers, and dual blades to your car’s frame. Over 20 different abilities and seven unique champions are waiting to be discovered in your fight against domination, or fight alongside up to three additional players in online co-op and take on the Dominion together.

What’s New!
Since first releasing in early access this year, Champion Shift has seen a number of updates, changes, and new additions. In the current game, players can:

  • Battle through seven more stages, bringing fifteen total unique maps to the game. These new areas can be found on each biome tied to the Relic system.
  • Take on a new Boss, TR-3Y, and see if you have what it takes to take down this new Dominion creation.

  • Select the next destination and customize game difficulty, unlocking permanent access to any completed biomes and stages, as well as new difficulty levels.
  • Gather fragments and put together Summon companions, Dominion machines that will aid you in battle.
  • Enjoy two new original musical scores for the Alpine and Volcano biomes, with night and day variations, as well as updated music for the final boss encounter.
