BILLIE BUST UP
Embark on a magical, musical odyssey in Billie Bust Up, a 3D platformer inspired by your favorite timeless, tuneful, and imaginative animated films.
Play the lead role as an adventurous and headstrong young goat named Billie on a quest to follow in her long-lost father's hoofsteps and reclaim a powerful magic. Alongside your mystic axolotl mentor Aristotle and playable pet fox Oscar, you'll explore strange realms, take on showstopping villains with their own unforgettable songs, master incredible magical powers, and discover a darkly fantastic world where skillful gameplay and memorable music are harmoniously intertwined.
Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is an absolutely gorgeous, hand-drawn 2.5D action platformer based in a world of Japanese folklore. Flow gracefully through a colorful, hand-crafted world as the celestial blossom Bo as you master your shapeshifting abilities, brew arcane teas to unlock mystical powers, and explore a mysterious and colorful world filled with adorable and strange characters straight from myth and legend.
Save your friends, fight off the vampire apocalypse, and survive the horrors of freshman field hockey practice in #BLUD, a delightfully zany animated dungeon crawler that blurs the line between action RPGs and hyperkinetic 90s cartoons.
Slaying the undead is just another day at high school for Becky Brewster, new kid in town and latest in an ancient bloodline of spellcasting vampire hunters. Master the slaying game with the help of an eclectic cast of hilarious characters, and teach the vampires a thing or two about messing with Carpentersville High!
Reforge a blacksmith's village on an isle of the land's finest artisans! Step into the boots of a journeyman blacksmith on a quest to become a master in While the Iron's Hot, a crafty adventure assembled with mystery, wit, and charm. Forge, smelt, and combine works of metal to grow your smithing skills and discover exquisite new items to create. Explore an island filled with resources, treasures, puzzles, and fellow artisans with their own motives and designs. Rebuild the ruins of Ellian's long-abandoned blacksmiths' village to restore its former glory and grow your own crafting capabilities—and ultimately become a true master smith.
Mineko's Night Market is a narrative-driven, social simulation adventure game that celebrates Japanese culture and invites players to craft whimsical items, eat delicious snacks, and ultimately enjoy all the cats.
Play as Mineko, a curious girl who has just arrived at her new home on a struggling Japanese-inspired island at the base of Mount Fugu. The superstitious locals on the island worship the Sun Cat, Nikko. What was always thought to be a long-told myth has the town puzzled, as sightings of Nikko have begun to surface among the residents of the island in recent days.
Discover the secrets behind the town and restore the struggling village to its former glory. All the while, manage your daily activities, complete various jobs, venture on whimsical quests, and craft peculiar items in preparation for the weekly Night Market!
Unpacking is a zen puzzle game about the familiar experience of pulling possessions out of boxes and fitting them into a new home. Part block-fitting puzzle, part home decoration, you are invited to create a satisfying living space while learning clues about the life you're unpacking.
Platform: PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and coming to iOS and Android August 24th.
