Road to Vostok is a post-apocalyptic single-player survival game that has secured the entire production budget for years to come within just 24 hours of its launch.

Over an hour of footage, including the apparent ending of the game, has leaked due to a security flaw with the Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS). Fans eager to experience the game without spoilers should be wary of major story revelations from the game now circulating online, six weeks ahead of First Light's May 27 launch.

Timber Rush is about numbers going up in the crudest way imaginable, a clicker game that barely even features clicking, in which you move your woodcutter side to side as increasing numbers of increasingly silly logs fly around the screen.

The former, a story about a traumatized boy defending a city from alien incursions using a biomechanical humanoid mecha in the hopes he will be able to understand himself and earn approval from others, is an apt point of reference for Control Resonant's protagonist Dylan Faden. Dylan, the brother of Federal Bureau of Control's director Jesse Faden, is a powerful parautilitarian who has abilities by way of a connection to an otherworldly entity called Polaris.

Through the ingenious medium of an interactive scrapbook, we play as Connie, glueing in photos, notes and memories of her friend after years of separation. The game begins with several attempts to write Connie a letter, before we cut-out, stick and sort the story of their lives together.

TR-49 is analogy rendered in four dimensions. On a surface level, it's a game about sorting through an archive of written works and commentary that has you identifying dozens of excerpts and documents, all with the aim of destroying a particular work. Beneath the surface, however, this is a piece of art that speaks viciously and satirically to so much of our reality.

The new chapter will include not only a game but a novel and music, the company said in a press release. The developer revealed the new IP via a live-action teaser, with an actor reading lines from William Blake's poem, The Sick Rose. A painting then fell from the wall, and the actor then turned over an hourglass with red sand, with a tagline stating "The door won't stay closed."

The woods in Reanimal are full of surprises. You will encounter human cadavers that slither like snakes, gigantic talking pigs, and, at one point, a forlorn, supersized whale who seems resigned to an agonizingly slow death. These variously monstrous beings inhabit a realm that, though it looks like our own, seems to defy spatial logic: the forest leads to an oceanic expanse, which segues into a decrepit, towering city. It's like Aesop's Fables meets the nightmare visions of both Lars von Trier and J.G. Ballard.

It's no secret that Cassette Boy is inspired by the classics. It's a top-down adventure game in the vein of a retro Legend of Zelda, while your home base is a small town like in an older Pokémon game, complete with a mom who is constantly wishing you well. The game's blocky 3D graphics evoke Minecraft, and you save at campfires that reset the world, like a FromSoft game.

There's a lot about Perfect Tides: Station to Station 's Mara that I find relatable. Like me, she's recently moved to a place simply called "the City" from the middle of nowhere, and like me, she's an avid writer. But these biographical details aren't the important thing; it's the way she's painted by the game's incredibly sharp writing where I start to feel uncomfortably seen.
