New Surreal Horror Game Concierge Announced For PC

Indie game developer Kodino Artee, in collaboration with publisher Digital Tribe, has announced a new project titled Concierge, set to launch on PC via Steam in September. This surreal horror puzzle game features an elderly man navigating a desolate hotel while grappling with his identity. Players awaken without memory or voice, guided by a cryptic concierge and an antiquated camcorder called the Parasonik. The game offers a nonlinear narrative with six distinct game worlds, each presenting unique mechanics and unsettling puzzles. Players must uncover secrets without guidance, using the Parasonik to reveal phantoms and solve illusions. The game's aesthetic blends melancholy with lo-fi analog horror, creating a sense of psychological decay. Players are encouraged to learn mechanics intuitively, as mastery leads to deeper understanding within its complex environment.

Turns out that fantasy Factorio is a pretty good idea, and if you doubt me try the MoteMancer demo

MoteMancer is an automation game developed by indie studio CyanAvatar, where players act as an alchemical apprentice managing a magical factory across six elemental planes. Players extract elemental motes from magical energy veins, which can be mixed to create various materials and devices. The game features a non-linear research system that allows multitasking and unexpected discoveries. Each of the six interconnected worlds presents unique puzzles and challenges, requiring players to adapt their strategies as they transition between planes.

FBC: Firebreak review

Firebreak is a cooperative shooter set to be released on June 17, 2025, priced at £33, developed and published by Remedy Entertainment. The game features players as 'Firebreakers,' janitors in rubber suits tasked with resolving maintenance challenges while battling the Hiss, a hostile force. It is set within The Oldest House, the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control, and consists of five distinct jobs with various objectives. The gameplay emphasizes trial and error, with a mix of chaotic encounters and peculiar tasks, such as repairing air conditioning units and collecting sticky notes. Firebreak has been reviewed on an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with an Nvidia 2080 Super and 32 GB RAM, and is verified for Steam Deck. The game lacks extensive tutorials, potentially disadvantaging newcomers. Balancing issues affect gameplay, with fluctuating difficulty levels and some jobs being less successful than others. A clearance system intended to enhance replayability may lead to player fatigue. Despite its current challenges, there is potential for improvement with future updates.
