Google has launched Project Genie, a world-building engine that transforms user prompts into virtual worlds. Users can describe the world they want to create, specify artistic styles, upload media for inspiration, and choose an avatar to explore the world. However, access to Project Genie is currently limited to Google's highest-tier AI paywall, the 0/month Google AI Ultra plan.

Cultic, developed by Jasozz Games and published by 3D Realms, has released its second episode on Steam, priced similarly to Episode One. The game features a unique dithered aesthetic and a limited color palette reminiscent of '90s 3D graphics, where players act as a private investigator exploring a cult's mysteries. The gameplay includes a weapon upgrade system and diverse encounters, with dynamic experiences ranging from cultist base clearings to being chased by minibosses. Each episode is priced individually, with Episode Two being significantly larger than Episode One, which offers around seven hours of gameplay. The bundle of both episodes is available on Steam as the "complete edition."
