Eldritch Katamari-like In Full Bloom has me fattening up an all-devouring blob creature, and it’s eerily therapeutic

Entithy is a small, Play-Doh-like sphere created by Obleak Games, characterized by its cuteness and insatiable appetite. The game "In Full Bloom" combines Tamagotchi-style nurturing with Katamari-esque consumption, where players care for Entithy and guide its growth. The game features a darker thematic approach with a soundscape that evokes unease, and an art style inspired by Tim Burton. Players start with Entithy in a sandpit, feeding it various items like bugs and decayed food to help it grow. As players progress, Entithy evolves, developing teeth and the ability to consume more substantial food. The demo concludes before fully exploring Entithy’s potential, leaving players curious about its future growth. The demo is available on Steam, with a full release expected in 2026.

Admittedly over the top WW1 shooter is out now, and it’s the one time the question of an anti-cheat solution sounds ridiculous

Over The Top: WWI is a World War I shooter that allows up to 200 players to engage in chaotic combat, focusing on enjoyment rather than historical accuracy. The game features a whimsical aesthetic and encourages camaraderie and humor. Developers believe stringent anti-cheat measures are unnecessary, as critical game functions are server-controlled, reducing the impact of common hacks. The chaotic gameplay makes traditional competitive integrity less relevant, as the unpredictability of combat and the large number of players diminish the effectiveness of cheats.
