SHOWCASE

October 2025 Highlights

Here’s just a handful of the wonderful releases you shouldn’t miss — each one finding its own wing in a month full of surprises.

Dispatch

✦ MotionRec

Record, rewind, and rethink your every move in this recording-based puzzle platformer. Capture your movements—the play them back to overcome impossible gaps, climb unreachable ledges, and outsmart the machines that rule the land.

BALL x PIT

A chaotic fantasy roguelite where treasure hunters dive into a bottomless pit of monsters and magic. Fuse over 60 spellbound projectiles to unleash wild synergies, rebuild a fallen city with 70+ upgrades, and recruit eccentric heroes as you blast through shifting biomes in search of glory — and your next absurdly powerful ball.

✦ Fading Serenades

A cozy adventure about balance, both literal and emotional. Traverse the hills and creeks of Clifford’s Island as a humble courier with an overstuffed backpack, delivering parcels and uncovering the island’s quiet mysteries.

Slots & Daggers

Steady your blade—and spin! A strange blend of slot machine chaos and fantasy RPG brawling, packed with goblins, crude doodles, crunchy hip-hop beats, and plenty of pling pling pling. Fight, gamble, and survive in a weird little world where numbers, reels, and daggers collide.

✦ Pereelous

A dungeon crawler where luck calls the shots. Every move, every strike, every disaster decided by the spin of a slot machine. Rig the odds, chain the right symbols, and pray the reels don’t betray you.

Dispatch

From the creators of Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us comes a superhero workplace comedy with a sharp edge. Step into the shoes of Robert Robertson—ex-hero turned dispatcher—tasked with wrangling a roster of reformed villains while juggling office politics, tactical calls, and the slow rebuild of your mech-suit.

✦ This Is No Cave

Crash-landed on an alien world, you’ll race through winding tunnels with only thrusters and a grapple hook to survive. Sling through hand-drawn caverns, evade colossal worms, and push for faster times on global leaderboards—or take it easier with adjustable settings and endless mode.

Relic Guardian

A stunning pixel-art tower defense adventure where you can shift towers on the fly, empowering your Whicken allies into advanced Spirit Towers to defend the island.

✦ Shrine's Legacy

Explore a classic-inspired world of secrets and dungeons, battle in real time with elemental magic, and team up in co-op to face the sacrifices needed to save the realm.

CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs

A quiet, haunting adventure told through questions instead of combat. As a small, wordless being born of moss and mirrorlight, you explore a grief-stricken house where every object holds a memory.

✦ Spindle

You are Death, and no one can die anymore. Armed with a scythe and accompanied by a talking pig, journey through perilous dungeons, unravel riddles, and face towering bosses to uncover why the cycle of life has been broken.

Absolum

Rise against the Sun King in a fantasy beat ’em up that fuses roguelite unpredictability with brutal, skill-based combat. Wield colossal swords, forbidden magic, and explosive brawling as outcast heroes, uncover branching paths, and fight to topple an empire in chaos.

✦ Stray Children

A group of kids are pulled into a forgotten RPG world where monstrous adults—twisted by doubt, regret, and old wounds—lurk outside every wall. Fight or heal them in witty, word-driven battles as you uncover the strange, dangerous truth of this land of children.

The Farmer Was Replaced

Automate the grind by scripting a farm drone in a simple Python-like language, then hit “execute” and watch it seed, harvest, haul, and optimize on its own.

If you’ve reached the end and still can’t find the giveaway word, the owl’s probably still circling above. Look a little closer — it’s there.

Happy gaming!
