"Saturn" is a tactical RPG set on Earth and the moons of Saturn.
A mysterious signal from space causes the AI of machines to rebel against their creators across the entire Solar System. Defend Earth from the threat and connect with the robots on Saturn's moons to stop the apocalypse. You only have 3 days to save the world.
Explore the World of the Future
The year is 2062, a new era in space exploration. ARKA from Russia, Huang-Di from China, and BUF from Britain have established research stations throughout the Solar System.
The discovery of a new form of communication—ether threads—has enabled more efficient space exploration using robots and drones. From Earth, operators of the "Reflection" program remotely control machines in real time. Thanks to their work, research stations have been built on the major moons of Saturn, where international expeditions have been working for the past twenty years.
Stop the End of the World
Scanners indicate that a malicious signal is traveling through the ether threads from somewhere in Saturn’s orbit. Only through the "Reflection" program on Earth can the source of the threat be discovered, the mystery of the disaster that has struck humanity unraveled, and the world saved.
Time is running out. There is no escape from the crazed robots, neither on Earth nor in space. A civilization dependent on robots and new technologies faces disaster with significant human casualties unless the catastrophe is averted.
On Earth and Saturn
You are Akim Kovalev, a scientist and one of the top operators of the "Reflection" program. Your life's work was deemed obsolete and shut down two years ago. Stop the catastrophe and prove that both "Reflection" and you still have a place in this world.
Save your colleagues and friends on Earth while gathering information about what's happening. Connect to and control robots on Saturn’s moons through "Reflection" to uncover the mysterious signal that is driving the machines insane.
Experiment and Think Tactically
Time in combat flows only for you. Use it to carefully plan your tactics and strategy. You have a wide array of weapons at your disposal, ranging from melee to powerful laser and electromagnetic cannons. Fight on Earth yourself and through robots on Saturn.
Death is not the end. Failures along the way will return you to the start of the cycle. Use this to try different weapons and combat approaches. As many times as it takes...
Make Important Decisions
Solve emerging problems in different ways. The lives on Earth and the fate of the entire world depend on your choices. Negotiate or take an aggressive approach—the outcome of the game is shaped by your actions.
Restart the cycle, make different decisions, and experience different outcomes. Experiment and find your own way to stop the catastrophe!
Do you want to possess an artifact of great trolling capability? A USB drive so large, that it blocks all nearby ports rendering them completely useless? Yes? Then you need our 128GB Codex USB 3.0 Drive.
We did this 10 years ago and now it's time to do it again.
On the left, the all new slightly more robust, slightly brighter red drive. On the right, the original 16GB drive from 2014.
Each drive is $65 USD. Simply contribute $65 USD to this campaign and we will find out where you live and send you one in the mail. Multiples of $65 USD will receive multiple drives based on this amazingly complex mathematical calculation: [your donation] / 65 = the number of USB drives we will send to you.
Any payment less than 65 and we will just assume you're too retarded to do basic math. If your donation / 65 has some rounding portion then we'll just keep the change.
Why so expensive? That's Bidenomics at works. Also the $65 covers the drive, postage anywhere in the world, and our fund for hookers and blow. And we spend a lot on hookers and blow to keep our moderators from going insane.
Don't miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity, that we may just keep milking until the cows come home depending on how long it takes us to sell the initial 100 we bought.
Finding the best online casino is not easy. South Africa has a lot casinos to offer and only a few of them are the best. Start your casino journey from a portal and make the right choice.

Developed by White Pond Games, Urban Strife combines classic turn-based strategy mechanics with modern survival elements and a thrilling storyline that promises to captivate fans of tactical combat and gritty post-apocalyptic narratives.
Urban Strife invites the player to rebuild and defend a dilapidated shelter in the southern United States, navigating a dangerous world where alliances with factions, strategic combat, and careful resource management are essential for survival. Rescued from a car crash by the kind folk of Urban Shelter, the hero brings them news of a huge zombie horde headed their way from Atlanta.

Along the way, you’ll get to fight ruthless warlords, recruit new friends, and bring back humanity from the brink of disaster.
The game’s Early Access release will include:
Immersive Survival and RPG Mechanics: Scavenge, craft, and negotiate with local factions to sustain your shelter’s hunger, health, and morale, whilst managing your team’s wounds, training, and equipment.

Faction-Based Storyline: Navigate alliances and conflicts with three major factions: the Army rebels, a zombie-worshiping cult, and a violent biker gang.
Real Ballistics and Combat Physics: Each weapon class—handguns, shotguns, rifles, and more— comes with simulated ballistics and offers distinct advantages and drawbacks, making the choice of hardware a strategic decision.
Players can look forward to a variety of new features, community-driven updates, and continuous content improvements in Urban Strife’s Early Access period, building on player feedback to refine and expand the game’s mechanics and storylines.

Greetings and salutations, friends and dear backers!
Today, we are very excited to share our final update before Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy is released into Early Access.
This long-awaited milestone is scheduled for December 12, 2024, when the game will finally arrive on both Steam and GOG.
There is still a lot of work to be done before we achieve the desired build quality, and everything is continually being tweaked, updated, and bug-fixed to provide the best experience possible. Here are some of the features we are currently working on.
First of all, let's discuss the stealth mechanics. As you know from the demo, we aimed to make stealth a more active and influential system than in our previous games. Now, stealth includes the ability to see enemies' detection zones and features a covert strike mechanic that allows you to land the first blow in combat for double damage.
We've added many more diverse special encounters to the world map, including additional battles, hunting and foraging options, and text-based adventures. They not only serve as a distraction from your main goals in the game but also provide special items, experience, and loot.
New locations are also in the works. We have added an extra layer of polish to the background-specific dungeons and improved those that every player will encounter.
We have also introduced new mini-bosses and enhanced the existing enemies with new skill sets and animations to provide a better overall combat experience.
Ironing out kinks is as important as introducing new content, so we've improved several features of character creation. We also added new combat and mundane animations, weapons, armour, crafting recipes, and much more.
Backer-exclusive content is also being finalised, so prepare to use your special codes to unlock whatever special items that come with your reward!

We have some big news for you today: New Arc Line will release in Early Access on November 26, 2024!
We’ve been contemplating this decision for some time, but the feedback from the Steam Next Fest demo has been so invaluable that we’ve chosen to opt in for the Early Access launch model. Simply put, we want to work closely with you, our fans, to make the full version of New Arc Line a truly unforgettable RPG experience.
We know there are some players who are hesitant about a story-based game being released this way. Don’t worry though - the initial Early Access launch will only contain about a quarter of the main storyline. While we will be adding more areas and quests in several content updates leading up to the full release, we plan to bring in more side-quests and world-building content rather than progressing the main story too far. We will primarily focus on adding more classes, abilities, companions, and gameplay features and working with the feedback we receive to make the underlying mechanics as balanced and fun to play as possible - so that when the full launch comes next year, everyone will have a reason to pick the game up again and make their mark on the New World.
In the coming weeks, we will keep sharing more details about the Early Access launch content and the game's world. For now, we have decided to take down the Steam Next Fest demo - it’s become outdated and does not represent the current state of the game. Thanks to your reports and suggestions, we have already made significant improvements, especially to the optimization and general technical state of the game. Keeping the demo updated would take away from development time, and we want to spend more time working on the game's launch version.
If you wish to support development and help make New Arc Line the game of your (and our) dreams, we would be incredibly grateful. Your purchase of the Early Access version, feedback on our Discord server and Steam discussion forums, are invaluable to us. To show our appreciation, the early access version of New Arc Line will be available at a significantly reduced price - 19.99 USD/EUR, which we will be raising later on. Of course, you are absolutely welcome to wait for the full release. However, please be sure to wishlist the game and follow it on Steam, so you can stay up to date at all times!

Welcome, Kindred, to our latest Bloodlines 2 Dev Diary from the team at The Chinese Room.
Tonight’s diary is about the different outfits you can collect and wear. A vampire’s clothing is an important tool in their hunting arsenal: do you wish to blend in unnoticed, lure your victims with your beauty, or intimidate others into submission? What you wear sets a first impression so choose your dinner attire wisely.
- Project Creative Director Alex Skidmore
Unlocking and Equipping Outfits
As you play through the game, you’ll gain access to a wide variety of outfits. These outfits not only allow you to set the fantasy you might want to play as but also have an effect on the inhabitants of Seattle.
One of the goals we had for outfits was to really lean into and reflect each clan’s style and personality while also offering lots of dress-up options; after all fashion is king!
With that in mind, we decided to unlock the outfits based on what abilities you have gained access to. Because it's possible to play as Brujah but still gain access to Ventrue abilities, you can unlock and wear all the outfits in the game simply by playing, but you will naturally unlock the outfits for your chosen clan earlier.
Honestly, some of the outfits are so cool that I sometimes choose the order in which I unlock abilities based on the outfits I’ll gain from the unlock. I’m partial to some of the streetwear of the Banu Haqim (who doesn’t love a good hoodie). But with a wide range of options to unlock, I’m confident there’s plenty of fashion to suit everyone's tastes.
- Lead Game Designer Gavin Hood
Fashion Matters in chatter, too!
Prey can be scared off by sudden movements, loud noises, or things that don’t seem quite right… So, for Phyre, if they want to feed on the right Blood Resonance, they need to keep that in mind. Just knowing that the angry sex worker nearby is full of choleric blood and ready for a fight is just step one. Step two is making sure that you’re wearing something that will push them over the edge and really make that blood boil. Dressing and acting like a wealthy John could get them talking, but if you approach looking like someone who likes it rough? That might scare them right out of their angry mood, and then all that delicious choleric potential goes away.
Many people in Seattle judge a book by its cover, but a Kindred knows that it's what you have inside that counts. You know. The blood.
We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this day. Whether you became fans of our first game, Lost Eidolons, demoed the game at some live events like Gamescom or PAX, or just recently discovered us during last month’s Steam Next Fest, your support has brought us to this exciting moment: the Early Access launch of Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch!
Our team of nine developers are die-hard fans of turn-based strategy games and consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to expand the Lost Eidolons franchise. This time, we’ve built on the foundation of a turn-based tactical RPG and added a roguelite twist to keep gameplay fresh and engaging!
Through closed betas and multiple demos, we’ve gathered valuable feedback from you, our community, which have guided us in refining the game. We recently shared a dev log looking back on our journey to Early Access, which you can read up on here. But this is just the beginning of our Early Access journey. Join us in polishing the game by playing and providing more feedback. Let’s make Veil of the Witch the best it can be, together!
Did you know that many player feedback and ideas we received for the original Lost Eidolons were incorporated into Veil of the Witch, as well as the beta and demo feedback?
To show you how seriously we take your input, we’re starting a new blog series to go over all the major changes made (or are being made) to Veil of the Witch based on your suggestions. Stay tuned!
Our Early Access game is priced at $19.99, with a special 20% launch discount running now until November 18th! Don’t miss the chance to grab Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch at this discounted price!
Here’s some of the content that we are sharing for Early Access:
Complete game from Act 1 to Act 3 with all 3 boss fights
Fully unlockable Altar of Fire system
3 tiers of Altars, each with 7 levels of blessings (persistent stat boost)
3 types of blessings (Judgemental, Miraculous, Guardian)
You can see the full content list from the patch notes here. We also plan to share the plans we have for the future in a roadmap soon, so keep an eye out for that as well!
But we can tell you right now that more bosses and voice acting is in the plans!
We hope that you’ll continue to support our studio and team as we journey through Early Access! Please feel free to share your feedback, suggestions, and concerns with us through the Steam Discussion Boards or our Discord channel. We look forward to developing this game with our community.
Elin, the sequel to popular rogue-ish Elona, has arrived on Early Access only on Steam. The asking price as of today is $19.99US with no sale price. There's a couple of videos showing off some of the features, but the text is Japanese. There is a little showing off of the crafting and decorating system in the game, which is interesting. So, not being able to read the text, for those curious, I can confirm that there are sheep in the sewers, just like in Japan. Very authentic. All in all, it looks like you get a ridiculous amount of stuff to do for that price.
A sandbox, open-world RPG based on roguelike gameplay.
Live your life, survive, craft, build and manage bases and towns, enjoy housing, fishing, theft, music, farming, livestock breeding, childbirth, setting up shops, tourism, and much more.
A seamless blend of endless randomly generated content and carefully crafted fixed content faithful to the world setting.
A continuously expanding world and gameplay. Updates will continue even after the early access.
The prologue to an epic story revolving around humans and the Elea.
I have to say, despite the whole Japanese thing which normally makes me adverse to things because I'm a racist like that, this thing looks pretty damned cool.
Fun Enters the Chat, who is apparently the developer, has notified me that his game has entered Early Access on Steam. It's on a 10% discount right now but the full asking price will be $14.99. What is it? I have no idea. I've watched the trailer six times now, and then realized I was stopped watching it to figure out what the game was about and was just watching it to see polygonal blobs explode to the background score. I might watch it a couple more times. Who knows? There are no reviews on this game, but there is an achievement with a picture of a crab. So, 10/10. Anyway, here's that trailer and some words from the author:
Customize your hero with unique abilities, skills and equipment.
Build a team of different units ranging from the conventional soldiers to the wild crazy animals.
Evolve a small party of elites units, or a big army. Or both.
All your units gain experience and most of them have their own equipment.
Fight real time battles with total control of your units.
Welcome, Kindred, to this Bloodlines 2 Dev Diary from the team at The Chinese Room. Tonight, we want to talk to you about our Blood Resonance feature. For those unfamiliar with Vampire: The Masquerade, this is blood that is emotionally charged. A valuable commodity for an experienced elder vampire like Phyre.
Our vision of Phyre as an elder is that they have accrued many clan abilities over their 400 years as a vampire, but the incident that brought them to Seattle has locked away their connection to them. By using resonant blood and drinking the blood of the Clan Contacts you can restore Phyre’s connection to the abilities that aren’t native to your chosen clan. For more on the specific clan abilities, please read our previous Clan Highlights:Brujah,Tremere,Banu Haqim andVentrue.

Determining what Resonance a vessel has makes feeding more than just a pit stop. Most vampires observe their victims from a distance or engage them in conversation to feel them out. -Vampire: the Masquerade 5th edition
Blood Resonance Mechanics
Blood Resonance is an important part of your journey when exploring the city. It feeds (pun intended) into how you tailor Phyre’s abilities to match your vampiric playstyle and fantasy.
When exploring Seattle you can find pedestrians with one of three potential blood resonances: Melancholic (feeling anxious or afraid), Sanguine (feeling aroused/sexual attraction), and Choleric (feeling annoyed or angry). This is something only a vampire can know so you need to use your Heightened Senses to identify these pedestrians. Once found, you need to “turn” these pedestrians fully resonated. This is done through conversations, in which you will attempt to manipulate your victim’s emotions as needed.
With this feature, it was important to us that roleplaying affected the outcomes of these conversations, so the way you act throughout the game determines what conversation options are available. Also, your appearance is an important factor in these conversations, so choose your wardrobe wisely!
If you manage to “turn” the pedestrians, they will become fully resonated and react accordingly. This means they might start a fight with you, run from you in terror, or even find you irresistibly attractive, all of which increases the resonant blood of that type gained from feeding on them.
Whilst these are great ways to gain resonated blood, they aren’t the only way! You can find events happening around the city - highlighted on the map - where NPCs are already fully resonated allowing players to skip the conversation and jump straight into the feeding.
Either way, you are attempting to accrue enough blood of different resonance types to ultimately increase the range of the abilities you can use, and this is where Clan Contacts come into the mix.
Once you are Sheriff of Seattle, Clan Contacts, such as Mrs Thorn (clan Tremere) at Wake The Dead Café, will offer to aid you in restoring your connection to the abilities of their clan by drinking their blood. A pre-requisite is collecting the required amounts of the resonant blood for the ability you wish to “re-learn”. Once collected you can drink the Clan Contact’s blood, adding the ability to the Ability Tree to unlock with Ability Points.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your reactions to the pedestrian conversations and can't wait to see what combinations of abilities you all put together! See you in the dark alleyways of Seattle.
After 15+ years of development, Caves of Qud 1.0 will be released on December 5th 2024! We’re amped up on the juice, near out of our minds, and so ready to let the creature emerge from its cocoon.
Tutorial Leaving Beta for 1.0 + The Last Story Quest
This is the capstone update to the hundreds of updates we’ve put out over the years. 1.0 will include the new tutorial that we’ve been beta-testing, meant to help teach beginners the very basics of the game. And also… the much-anticipated final quest in the main questline, with multiple endings. We’re playing this one extremely close to the vest, but just know we’re pouring our hearts and souls in.
In addition to the tutorial and last quest, 1.0 will have several new music tracks, new sound effects, new items, lots of bugfixes, and other small feature improvements.
To pair with this announcement, we have a Steam Daily Deal going RIGHT NOW for $16.99 USD, the lowest price Caves of Qud will ever be. On October 29th, one week from today, the price increases to $29.99 USD. So if you’ve been on the fence, or you have a friend who you’ve been nudging to dive in, today is the day!
Pets of Harvest Dawn & Dromad Deluxe
Alongside 1.0, we’re also putting out the Dromad Deluxe edition which includes Caves of Qud, the newly enhanced soundtrack, and the Pets of Harvest Dawn DLC pack, with in-game companions for your character. Pets of Harvest Dawn includes pets that were exclusive to Patreon supporters while the game was in early access. The pack will also include one never before seen pet.
Whew… we’re almost there. Thank you to all our water-sibs for supporting us on this journey. As announced previously, we plan to keep working on Caves of Qud after 1.0, and we’ll have more details about those plans in a future update. For now…
It is with great pleasure that we can finally say: MISSION START on November 5th!
And that’s not all! METAL SLUG TACTICS will launch with long-awaited reinforcements, the legendary Ikari Warriors: Clark, Ralf, and Leona!

Ralf Jones: The hot-headed one-man army returns! Ralf gets up close and personal with fiery punches and charges at enemies like a raging bull. Leona Heidern: The silent soldier answers the call! Leona can replace fallen enemies with decoy afterimages to distract and overwhelm enemy forces.
