Wavetale
Wavetale is a third-person action adventure game with beautiful visuals, a stirring soundtrack and a heart-warming story. Unravel stories of the past, save the islanders from mysterious sea creatures and discover secrets hidden under the surface.
Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville in Wavetale, a story-driven action-adventure game introducing you to fed-up fishermen, secretive hermits - and maybe a pirate or two. Traverse calm waters and surging waves as Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water.
Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands. All with a bit of help from the shadows down below - and your cranky grandmother.
Togges
A brand new IP from Regular Studio making its way to PC and Console in 2022, Togges is a beautiful and unique 3D stackformer game about spreading and stacking adorable cubes (a.k.a. Togges). Experiment with the mechanics, combining different Togges’ colours and abilities to find new and unexpected ways to solve puzzles, traverse the world and interact with its characters.

With its hilarious story, innovative gameplay and gorgeous visuals, Togges is every stackforming fans’ dream.
The Last Hero of Nostalgaia
Set in a world that celebrates video game nostalgia, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia blends the complex systems and dark aesthetics of its Souls-like inspirations with a wicked tale told by a cynical narrator who jeers your attempts to save the world from a blight of pixelation at every turn. Delivering tough but fair combat, engaging narrative mechanics rich in lore and even an online co-op mode, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia draws on the best of the games that inspired it while delivering a humorous and innovative twist on the genre.
Nostalgaia is the world of videogames, and it's collapsing backwards into a mysterious pixelation. Everything is fading away to nothing: even the memories of our proud, cherished video games are being lost. Now, with our fidelity all but gone, at the very brink of extinction, hope emerges to fight back.
As the most hideous pixelated hero to ever spawn in Nostalgaia, you must fight through an army of mindless inhabitants populating the degenerating world, all while absorbing the insults and putdowns of a narrator who despises your very existence.
Swordship
Swordship asks the question: what would a shoot’em up look like if you removed the shooting? The answer is an intense dodging game where placement is everything. As you speed through a post-apocalyptic flooded Earth pursued by hostile forces, you must weave your way between enemies and their attacks, tricking them into taking each other out with slick and skillful movement.
Swordship is set in a world where the consequences of global warming have forced the vast majority of humanity to take refuge in three gigantic underwater cities. Those who are expelled from the cities barely survive on the burned lands. Meanwhile, the megacities exchange millions of containers loaded with goods every day. You play as one of the small number of inhabitants prepared to steal those precious containers and deliver vital supplies to the banished.
Paper Cut Mansion
In Paper Cut Mansion you play as Toby, a police detective arriving at the road leading to the eponymous old mansion. You will put those detective skills to the test as you seek to unravel the story behind this bizarre place, with each run giving you the opportunity to collect another piece of evidence to be tacked on the Evidence Board. The intriguing cast of characters you will meet as you explore may help or hinder you: some will offer quests that can earn you helpful rewards, some will try to hide and some are out to get you.
Run by run, Paper Cut Mansion will offer you the opportunity of defining your playstyle as you unlock new abilities and discover new equipment that will give you a better chance of overcoming the challenges each procedurally generated attempt throws at you. Intrigue is further added through a dimension-hopping mechanic that lets you leap between alternate versions of the same location that switch up the aesthetics and gameplay.
Tinkertown
Come to Tinkertown - A refreshing new Multiplayer Sandbox Experience! Grab your shovel, your pickaxe, and your sword and enter the realms of Tinkertown. A magical place awaits filled with loot, danger, and creativity. Build your own village - from small shacks to impressive castles and townships.

While the surface world is mostly peaceful, only the most courageous explorers will enter the sinister dungeons scattered around the world and defeat the horrors that live within. Epic loot awaits those who dare to face the underworld.
Hell Pie
Grab the horns of Nate, the 'Demon of Bad Taste’, in Hell Pie, an obscene retro-inspired 3D platformer available now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch. Your task is to gather the disgusting ingredients for Satan's infamous birthday pie. Venture out into the overworld and do whatever it takes to ensure those ingredients are secured in time, or there'll be hell to pay!
Together, Nate and Nugget will explore wild environments, meet tons of unsavory enemies and characters, and witness some truly shocking sights in the seriously twisted take on the classic mascot platformer.
