Culdcept the First (also attributed as Culdcept the First Saturn Tribute) is a very fun game, that does show its age. This is basically a re-issue of the 1997 Sega Saturn game that mashes together deckbuilding (think Magic: The Gathering) and boardgames (such as Monopoly).
Sometimes a game will hit your feed that is completely unexpected. That is the reaction I had when I discovered Map Map - A Game About Maps (which I'll refer to as Map Map from here on out). It is a puzzle exploration game where you take the role of a young cartographer setting out on a relaxing journey to many unknown islands.

Planet Crafter Information taken from News post on Steam:

Hello Terraformers!
Planet Crafter new DLC "Magnetaris" will be released on December 8th!
This DLC will be a brand-new planet. A place scattered with huge magnetic storms and anomalies, a place that once hosted people who flew away for unknown reasons...
You'll have to use new technologies to stabilize and protect yourself from the planet's magnetism.
Discover new lore, secrets and explore multiple exciting new biomes. And finally terraform this world to create a lush paradise once again!
As usual, you'll only need to buy one copy to host a game and play with your friends!
The size of the map will be similar to Toxicity and should provide multiple hours of content.
You'll be able to either start a new game on this planet, or join it using a current save file once you have finished your first planet. The design of the planet should make both experiences equally fun.
This will be released on all platforms the game is available on
Playtests are open! If you want to help us playtest it, read this.

October 26, 2026 | Aya Games has launched AYASA: Shadows of Silence on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The atmospheric horror puzzle-platformer takes players into the Inverted World, where light reveals hidden paths and survival depends on observation, puzzles and stealth. The game first launched on PC via Steam on November 28, 2025.
The story
AYASA: Shadows of Silence is set in the Inverted World, a realm once held in balance between light and shadow under Tas, the Absolute. War has shattered that harmony, leaving six lands - Faith, Hope, Love, Greed, Indifference and Betrayal - caught in a spreading darkness. Ayasa, a young girl traveling alone, sets out to recover the scattered remnants of Tas's light and restore her world's lost balance.
Her journey leads through environments shaped by the values and failings their names represent. Players must observe their surroundings, solve environmental puzzles and use light to reveal hidden routes and awaken ancient machines. With threats too dangerous to confront directly, survival depends on timing, stealth and finding a way forward. Uncovering the secrets of each land brings Ayasa closer to understanding what it means to have a conscience. Yet the mysteries she leaves unresolved can draw her into the darkness, changing the person she becomes.
The story unfolds without spoken dialogue, through movement, surreal imagery and music. Its soundtrack is composed by Arman Msryan and draws on the music of Komitas. The art direction takes inspiration from Tim Burton, René Laloux, Robert Sahakyants, Hayao Miyazaki and Sergei Parajanov.
“Ayasa was always meant to speak without words. We wanted players to feel the story rather than read it,” said Edgar Janoyan, Founder and CEO of Aya Games. “Seeing players on PC connect with Ayasa's journey has meant everything to us. Today, players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can finally step into the Inverted World and find their own light in the dark.”
Key Features
Six symbolic lands. Explore surreal environments shaped by hope, conflict and corruption.
Environmental puzzles. Use light to reveal hidden paths and activate ancient machines.
Stealth and survival. Read your surroundings and evade the dangers waiting in the dark.
Visual storytelling. Follow a story told through movement, imagery and sound, without spoken dialogue.
Armenian musical influence. A soundtrack by Arman Msryan drawing on the music of Komitas.
Availability
AYASA: Shadows of Silence is out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S for $19.99, and on PC via Steam for $24.99. The Soundtrack and Digital Artbook are available separately on Steam. The PC version supports menus and interface text in 24 languages.

October 29, 2026 | Brightstone was never meant to be left. Today, Dionous Games and X Interactive release the Last Dream Update for Inner Voice, the first-person psychological horror-adventure, dragging players back into its dark, dreamlike world with fresh secrets to uncover and new horrors waiting in the silence. The update is free and live now on Steam.
Grief has a way of leading people to strange places. For Booker, a man desperate to find his missing wife Diana, it leads to Brightstone and to a voice that guides him and haunts him in equal measure. With no weapons and no allies, Booker wanders a place abandoned by time and sanity, where the past refuses to stay buried and every answer comes at a cost.
“The darkness of Brightstone has grown,” said solo developer Nick Chronopoulos. “I’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make Inner Voice an even more immersive and unsettling experience and this update is the result of that work.”
What’s New in the Last Dream Update
2 new puzzles that expand the exploration and puzzle-solving experience
10+ new scares: disturbing encounters and unexpected moments of terror throughout the game
Quality-of-life improvements and refinements to the overall gameplay experience
Built for psychological horror fans, Inner Voice trades combat for dread, grief and memory, weaving story-driven puzzles into a world that tells its own story. Players are pulled through decaying spaces that shift around them, where lifeless mannequins stand in silent watch, every room holds a fragment of the past and every sound hints at something waiting in the dark.
Key Features
4 unique chapters blending linear storytelling with open-world exploration
Story puzzles embedded in the environment and narrative
Fully voice-acted with an original soundtrack and high-end visuals
3 story endings plus 1 hidden secret ending based on player choices
A haunted Victorian/Western world blending reality with fiction
