Hoarder is what happens when a Darkwood co-creator makes a cleaning simulator: Your job is to clean the abyss and ‘no one is coming to save you’

The 2017 survival horror game Darkwood is known for its unsettling atmosphere and innovative gameplay, despite its top-down perspective. A sequel is in development by Ice-Pick Lodge, not the original creators, Acid Wizard Studio. One of the new projects from the game's co-creators is Hoarder, a cleaning simulation game where players declutter a house once occupied by a hoarder. The game features structured gameplay with checklists and quest markers, but later introduces a challenging basement environment. The horror genre has seen increased creativity from indie studios, with titles like Iron Lung and Creature Kitchen appealing to a broader audience. Players are encouraged to add Hoarder to their Steam wishlists, though a release date has not been announced.

Android’s new sideloading rules are here, and they come with a 24-hour lock!

Google has introduced a new sideloading process for Android that includes a 24-hour waiting period and multiple steps for installing apps from unverified developers. The steps are as follows: 1. Enable Developer Mode. 2. Confirm you’re not being coerced into disabling device protections. 3. Restart your phone. 4. Wait 24 hours. 5. Re-authenticate using biometric authentication or a PIN. 6. Install the app, with a warning about its unverified status. This change aims to enhance user safety and protect less experienced users from scams. The new rules will take effect in August, primarily affecting users who sideload apps from third-party sources, while those using the Play Store will not see changes. Google is also requiring app developers to verify their identities to reduce the risk of malicious applications. Exceptions exist for limited distribution apps that can be shared without full verification.
