At first glance, the concept feels familiar. Two players sit across from each other and play Rock, Paper,Scissors. But in Rock, Paper, Severed, losing a round carries far more severe consequences. Each loss costs a finger, turning what was once a simple childhood pastime into a tense fight for survival where every decision matters.

Overseeing the game is a mysterious figure known only as the Entity. This shadowy host offers players a chance at redemption, luring them to the table with the promise of absolution. But once the game begins, escape isn’t so easy. As rounds progress, fragments of each character’s past begin to surface, revealing unsettling truths and the horrifying cost of participating in the game.

A dark teaser trailer has already been released, offering the first glimpse of the Entity, the ominous game table, and the brutal stakes players will face.

A Deadly Game of Strategy

While the core gameplay is built around the familiar mechanics of Rock, Paper, Scissors, Rock, Paper, Severedintroduces new layers of strategy and psychological tension.

Each match forces players to weigh the risks of every move, knowing that even a single mistake comes with painful consequences. Various tools and items can be used to manipulate outcomes, shift the momentum of a match, or gain an edge over opponents.

Success also relies on reading the competition. Players must bluff, predict their rivals’ choices, and stay one step ahead in a deadly mind game where hesitation can cost more than just the round.

The game also features a cast of unique characters, each carrying their own secrets and motivations for sitting down at the table.

Face the Entity — Or Your Friends

Rock, Paper, Severed offers multiple ways to play, whether facing the game alone or challenging others.

In single-player mode, players will confront the Entity in a tense one-on-one experience where the story slowly unfolds with each match. Multiplayer mode supports two to four players, allowing friends to compete in brutal rounds where only one participant leaves with all their fingers intact.

Hidden Secrets and a Deeper Mystery

Alongside the reveal, Buzzin’ Games has also launched an interactive website tied to the game. The site contains hidden clues, secrets, and cryptic discoveries that hint at a deeper narrative surrounding the Entity and the deadly game itself.

However, uncovering those secrets won’t be easy. A clue needed to navigate the site is hidden within the reveal trailer, encouraging curious players to examine every detail and piece together the larger mystery themselves.

Coming in 2026

Rock, Paper, Severed is currently planned for release on PC via Steam in 2026. Players interested in the game can wishlist it now to stay updated as development continues.

One thing is certain: when you sit down at this table, you’re playing for far more than bragging rights.

You step into the role of a new manager taking over an abandoned gas station after the previous owner vanished under mysterious circumstances. Your goal is simple enough: rebuild the station, serve customers, and turn a forgotten pit stop into a thriving business. Just don’t forget that once night falls, the wilderness surrounding your station isn’t nearly as empty as it seems.

Cozy Management by Day, Uneasy Survival by Night

Set in a future where electric vehicles have made gas stations nearly obsolete, The Last Gas Station is about keeping a dying business alive in a world that’s already moved on. During the day, you’ll focus on classic management tasks—stocking shelves, maintaining pumps, running the register, and upgrading your facilities to better serve weary travelers who still rely on gas.

As the station grows, so do your options. You can modernize outdated equipment, add car services like tire inflation and oil changes, tweak pricing, and redesign both the interior and exterior to match your vision. Neon signs, decor, and layout choices all play a role in shaping your little roadside haven.

But when the sun sets, the tone shifts fast.

Don’t Go Outside After Dark

Nighttime is where The Last Gas Station leans hard into its eerie side. Lock the doors, turn off the lights, and stay inside—because strange things roam the area after sunset. Some of them seem to remember you. The game blends cozy vibes with creeping tension, creating a constant sense that you’re never quite alone, even when the station appears quiet.

Key Features at a Glance

• Modernize & Expand – Upgrade pumps, add vehicle services, and improve your facilities

• Set Up Shop – Stock snacks, supplies, and essentials while optimizing layout and pricing

• Trade & Serve – Manage inventory, run the checkout, and keep customers satisfied

• Survive the Night – Strange events unfold after dark… and they don’t like visitors

• Full Customization – Design signs, decorate the store, and breathe life into a forgotten stop

With vibrant pixel art and a narrative that explores obsolescence, progress, and persistence, The Last Gas Station aims to be more than just another simulator—it’s a story-driven experience that constantly keeps you guessing.

The playtest is available now on Steam for players ready to clock in for the night shift. You can also wishlist The Last Gas Station to stay up to date on future updates and development news.

Survive the Moon. Explore the Unknown.

Moon Mystery begins with a lone astrogeologist stranded on the Moon after mysteriously losing contact with Earth. With only T.O.B.Y.—a loyal AI companion—to guide you, survival quickly spirals into something far greater. Players will battle rogue technology, uncover ancient lunar ruins, and traverse hostile alien worlds that push the boundaries of exploration.

Expect shifting gravity on strange planets, a sprawling orbital city hanging in the void, and even the surreal pull of a black hole. The game seamlessly blends first-person shooting, environmental puzzles, and vehicle-based gameplay—with vehicles ranging from lunar rovers and submarines to spacecraft moving freely in three dimensions.

A Handcrafted Sci-Fi Adventure

At its core, Moon Mystery is a story-driven FPS adventure about discovery and survival. Along the way, you’ll master zero-gravity combat, experiment with over 100 weapon attachments, and use a diverse set of vehicles to navigate across alien environments. The game’s handcrafted narrative evolves with each new location, ensuring that every step forward feels like uncovering another layer of humanity’s cosmic future.

From Passion Project to Indie Studio

Moon Mystery started as a solo after-hours project in Warsaw but quickly gained traction through Kickstarter and the support of indie.io. That success helped Cosmoscouts grow into a small independent Polish studio, still guided by the same indie spirit that fueled its beginnings: making a deeply personal, ambitious, and story-rich sci-fi game.

Moon Mystery launches September 18, 2025, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox pre-orders live now. The game is already available on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, so PC players can dive in today.

Originally revealed through a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over £46,000, ASTROBOTANICA has been steadily growing thanks to its mix of survival gameplay and scientific discovery. Kickstarter backers got an early taste during a closed Alpha earlier this summer, with player feedback helping shape the upcoming demo. Space Goblin has also confirmed that the game will be fully Steam Deck compatible, letting players bring their plant-filled adventures on the go.

Unlike traditional survival games that focus purely on resource management, ASTROBOTANICA emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and experimentation.

As Xel, an extraterrestrial stranded on prehistoric Earth, you’ll need to balance survival with research—studying plants, crafting tonics, cultivating crops, and even forming connections with primal humans you encounter along the way.

Key Features

• Plant Research – Discover unique flora and study how they affect both the environment and living organisms.

• Tonics Crafting – Experiment with plant-based ingredients to create powerful mixtures and recipes.

• Cultivation – Grow and nurture your own crops while protecting them from hungry wildlife.

• Exploration – Traverse diverse biomes, face off against dangerous creatures, and uncover hidden mysteries.

• Human Interaction – Build relationships with primal humans, unlocking opportunities for trade and cooperation.

With its focus on blending survival gameplay with scientific exploration, ASTROBOTANICA aims to bring something fresh to the genre when it enters Early Access this winter. Players can jump in early when the demo arrives this October during Steam Next Fest.

In Duckside, you don’t just play as a duck—you fight as one. Players scavenge, shoot, and survive across a sprawling archipelago, squaring off against both humans and rival ducks in a mix of PvE and PvP chaos. Build and defend bases, gather loot, upgrade weapons, or raid other flocks to steal their hard-earned supplies. Team up with friends to hunt—or turn on them for a quick grab of loot under their beaks.

The console release will include all current content plus some platform-specific extras to sweeten the deal.

Editions & Extras at Launch

• Standard Edition ($14.99) – Early access to the full game.

• Special Duck-Ops Edition ($17.99) – Includes the “Supporter Pack” DLC with bonus in-game skins.

  • PS5 buyers also get 3 Avatars in the Standard Edition or 15 Avatars in the Special Edition.

• Launch Discount – Both editions will be 35% off for a limited time.

• First Flight DLC (Free) – Available to all Xbox players and PlayStation Plus subscribers, includes:

  • 6 themed hats

  • Cozy Nest customizations (“Paw” Nest & “Pool” Nest)

Whether you’re fortifying a nest, taking aim at humans for rare loot, or winging it into chaotic firefights, Duckside promises a survival experience like no other—equal parts absurd and action-packed.

Duckside launches September 3 on PS5 (Early Access) and Xbox Series X|S (Game Preview), with crossplay enabled and plenty of quacking mayhem waiting for console players.

A New Look at What’s Ahead

The latest trailer teases several key additions fans can expect when Crosswind arrives in Early Access:

• The Ashlands Biome – A deadly volcanic region smothered in ash and crawling with undead threats.

• Tortuga Outpost – A pirate hub now under siege by skeletal enemies, offering high-risk, high-reward encounters.

• Crew Combat & Recruitment – Your crew fights by your side on deck, with new options to recruit shipmates for survival.

• Ship Customization – Outfit your vessel to fit your playstyle and show off your pirate flair.

From Free-to-Play MMO to Polished Survival Adventure

Originally revealed as a free-to-play survival MMO, Crosswind has since shifted course based on feedback from its closed Alpha community. The game will now release as a paid PvE-focused survival experience, playable solo or in co-op.

This transition not only allows the team to focus on delivering a more polished and consistent player experience, but also opens the door for exciting possibilities like mod support and dedicated servers. The devs plan to expand Crosswind throughout Early Access with fresh content, features, and gameplay based directly on player feedback.

Setting Sail in 2026

With its mix of high-seas survival, cooperative action, and swashbuckling style, Crosswind looks ready to carve its place in the pirate game lineup. Players won’t have to wait long to dive in—the adventure begins when the game hits Steam Early Access in 2026.

Even better? Frostpunk 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass for console on day one.

Refined for Consoles, Built for Survival

Following valuable lessons from the first Frostpunk’s console release, Frostpunk 2 arrives with a redesigned, gamepad-optimized interface. 11 bit studios has fine-tuned the circular UI and added features that let players guide New London’s fate seamlessly with a controller in hand.

“We started by reusing some of the original UI systems,” said Igor Skibinski, Production Coordinator on Frostpunk 2. “But the sequel evolved so much, we had to rethink and rebuild most of it. Our goal was always to keep the player immersed—never distracted by the controls.”

The new control scheme includes features like shoulder button-based district cycling and a dynamic radial menu for quick actions over resources. And for those playing on PC with a gamepad, a post-launch update will add these new interface options there, too.

Two Premium Physical Editions for the Faithful

Alongside the digital release, two collector’s editions—The Icebreaker Edition and The Whiteout Edition—will be available for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players.

Here’s what you get in each:

Icebreaker Edition

• Full game on disc

• Pop-up diorama of New London

• Warm Flesh digital novella

• Digital behind-the-scenes artbook

Whiteout Edition

• Everything from the Icebreaker Edition

• Multi-layered shadow box with integrated LED lighting

• Deluxe Edition upgrade (includes access to 3 future DLCs)

• Frostpunk metal-enamel keychain

• Two premium New London art postcards

• Sticker pack

• One of two exclusive embroidered faction patches: Technocrats or Icebloods

If you’re a fan of physical editions that go beyond the usual steelbook and poster combo, these are shaping up to be standout collector’s pieces.

With its chilling setting, complex city-building systems, and moral choices that bite just as hard as the cold, Frostpunk 2 is one of the most anticipated strategy games of the year. Keep your rations stocked—New London returns on September 18.

Frostpunk 2 will be available on Steam | Epic Games Store | GOG | PlayStation | Xbox

Described as a cozy survival sim set in a vibrant, near-future utopia, Outbound drops you into the wilderness with nothing but a barebones van and the freedom to shape your own adventure.

Build, Explore, and Thrive—Your Way

At its core, Outbound is all about customizing your journey. Turn your simple camper van into a fully equipped rolling base, complete with solar panels, personalized furniture, and colorful paint jobs. The world is yours to explore—across multiple biomes filled with hidden secrets, useful resources, and moments of calm discovery.

Here’s what makes Outbound stand out:

• Customize Your Camper Van – Build and upgrade your home on wheels with modular pieces, decorations, and practical add-ons.

• Live Off the Land – Forage, farm, and cook to sustain yourself using what the world offers.

• Sustainable Power Systems – Tap into wind, solar, and water energy to power your van and tools.

Wishlist It Now

Outbound will launch digitally on PlayStation 5 and Steam in early 2026. PS5 players can wishlist it on the PlayStation Store now, while PC players can wishlist it on Steam.

The road is calling. Are you ready to answer?

Get ready to lose track of time—literally. Forgotten 23, a haunting new sci-fi survival puzzler from solo dev KovalGames and indie.io, is set to launch on Steam July 18, 2025. The game throws players into a tense, atmospheric time loop aboard a doomed space station circling Proxima Centauri b, blending survival mechanics, puzzle-solving, and psychological mystery.

You play as Max Novak, an engineer sent to investigate a distress signal from The Forgotten, a derelict station moments from atmospheric collapse. But there’s a catch: you’ve only got 23 minutes before the whole thing crashes. And once it does? Time resets, and it all begins again.

As Max, you’ll need to make the most of each reset—repairing vital systems, crafting tools from scraps, solving shifting environmental puzzles, and uncovering the eerie fate of the vanished crew. The deeper you dig, the stranger things get. Rooms don’t stay the same. Clues seem to rewrite themselves. And the station’s AI, Luna, is calm, helpful… and maybe hiding something.

Forget combat—Forgotten 23 builds its tension through atmosphere, mystery, and mounting existential dread. Think Outer Wilds meets SOMA by way of Stanislaw Lem. Each run reveals new layers of the story, delivered through corrupted logs, cryptic dialogue, and chilling environmental storytelling.

“I built this game from the ground up in my spare time,” says solo dev Lucas S. Kowal. “It was a passion project—late nights, long weekends, lots of coffee. It’s surreal and humbling to finally bring it to players.”

If you’re into sci-fi adventures with deep narrative twists and time-bending mechanics, this is one to keep on your radar. Forgotten 23 hits Steam on July 18—be sure to wishlist it now so you don’t miss the loop.
