Fantasy heist sim Project Shadowglass is even more inspired by Thief than I had realised, as a new trailer shows off water arrows, blackjack knockouts, and authentically sloppy swordfighting

Project Shadowglass, developed by Starhelm Studios, is a stealth game inspired by Thief: The Dark Project. It features open-ended levels with guards and traps, and utilizes simulated 3D audio technology. The game showcases nostalgic pixelated graphics and offers full 360-degree freedom. Players can perform mechanics such as sliding down rooftops, shooting explosive barrels, and creating slippery surfaces with water arrows. The combat mechanics are described as "sloppy" to fit the stealth theme. Players will plan heists, conduct research for optimal strategies, and face consequences for their actions, including imprisonment and increased security. Project Shadowglass is currently in early development with no release date, but a demo is expected later this year.

2026’s “lesbian knight game,” 1348 Ex Voto, is short on lesbians

Developer Sedleo's game, 1348 Ex Voto, features Aeta, a female knight-errant, and her relationship with Bianca, a castle servant. The game explores themes of grief and loyalty rather than romantic longing, with their bond remaining largely platonic despite discussions about its implications for LGBTQIA+ representation. Aeta's quest involves rescuing Bianca after their home is attacked, set against a historical backdrop where records of female relationships are limited. The gameplay follows a hero's journey format, but the emotional connection between Aeta and Bianca is minimal, with only about 15 minutes of shared screen time over six hours. While the game offers a medieval adventure with rich visuals and commentary, it struggles to compete with other titles in narrative depth. The game has sparked debate about representation and narrative choices in the gaming industry, particularly regarding its portrayal of sapphic relationships.
