‘Jupiter Hell’ Emerges From Early Access Next Month
ChaosForge’s turn-based shooter (and spiritual successor to DoomRL) Jupiter Hell will be out of Early Access on Steam on August 1st. And, as is the way these things go, the devs have released a launch trailer for the game in two flavours.
That’s right, you get the SFW trailer and the Red Band trailer (which includes some not-so-nice words).
Jupiter Hell will also be taking part at Gamescom next month, as part of the Indie Games Poland section. You can hit up the game on Steam right now for wishlisting purposes.
In Jupiter Hell, you rip and tear through hordes of zombies, demons and other unmentionable monstrosities while stockpiling new weapons, abilities and equipment. Blast through procedurally-generated civilian sectors, military space bases and mining colonies on the moons of Jupiter.
Just in time for Steam Next Fest, Studio Laaya has pushed a new update for their upcoming psychological thriller, Foghorns Drown. In addition to some subtle graphical improvements, the new demo features more mechanics, more characters, and a longer story. You can also grab the demo on itch.io.
Foghorns Drown casts you as a ferryman, bringing passengers across a foggy lake to a town drenched in mystery and folklore. The old ferryman has disappeared, and a murder has been committed. Coincidentally, you recently experienced a dream where you wandered through the pines, and came upon the body of someone who was murdered. Who is the killer? Why did the old ferryman disappear? Solve the mystery, before it’s too late.
First and foremost, you must tend to your job. You’ll use physics-based interactions to open doors, drag objects, and operate the crank of the ferry to pull it along a rusty old chain. The foghorns have little patience, the ferry must move.
Along the way, the story progresses through environmental clues, dialogue with the townsfolk, and surreal visions. As you progress, the psychological toll begins to escalate as truth begins to blur, and the strange old tales begin to reveal themselves to you. Something in the water demands its toll.
Originally aiming for a June 30 release, the team has decided to push Foghorns Drown to July.
