VR Playtest News | Survival Horror Game Dread Meridian

Dread Meridian is a VR survival game, and they were kind enough to let me know that they have a playtest coming up on PC VR, META Quest 2,3, and 3S. Here is a quick blurb from their Steam page so you can learn more about it. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Dread Meridian is a VR survival horror adventure across the frozen wasteland of Oglanbyen.

Play as Daniela, a researcher who ventures to a remote arctic island in a desperate search for her missing twin sister, Isabella. Scavenge for resources, solve cryptic puzzles, and battle unimaginable creatures while unraveling the mystery of her disapperance. Will you pierce the veil surrounding Oglanbyen, or succumb to its terrors? Test your wits against the twisted creatures that stalk the lands. Planning is key to survival on the lost island.

Effulgence RPG – ASCII-3D-powered sci-fi RPG hits Steam Early Access Dec 2 (demo available)

After checking out the demo for this, all I can really say is, go check out the demo. It is essentially a turn-based RPG combined with Monster Hunter. You go into battle and kill enemies, then use those parts to build bigger and better weapons. Effulgence RPG has a demo available, and it is well worth checking out.

Key features at a glance

  • Text-only visuals – the entire game (characters, environments, effects) is built from text symbols.
  • Tactical turn-based combat with a PING system that controls turn order and timing.
  • Convert enemies into gear – harvest raw parts from defeated foes and print new weapons and items.
  • Short satirical dialogues and a slightly absurd, darkly humorous tone instead of a heavy epic story.
  • 3D-style globe map built from symbols, with locations gradually unlocking as you progress.

It should be noted, and the Developer has been very up front about this, that the December 2nd release into early access will be a very compact version of the game because they want to focus on player feedback for the first part. There is also a supporter DLC during early access that will be completely free to anyone who gets the game before the 1.0 release and won’t become paid until after that. (Those who got it free will have it free forever.) So go check it out, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Decktamer Release Date Trailer

Decktamer releases on Steam on October 27th, but you can hop over and play the demo right now if you want. This monster tamer, combined with a rogue-like, will see you using living cards that, once they die, are simply gone forever. You can also fuse cards into entirely new cards. If you love card games and collecting monsters, you owe it to yourself to at least check out the Demo for this one.. Enjoy the screenshots and trailer below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Overtype Coming 2026

Just announced from Zozo Studio is a typing based Rogue Like called Overtype set to launch on Steam in 2026. The concept is simple, you play as Zyra in a fast paced hack and slash cyber punk world where each word and phrase you type will help you fight off enemies. The faster and more accurate you type, the better your chances of survival. As you die the world changes and you unlock new abilities and weapons.

There will also be an Eidolon system to upgrade zyras weapons with things like a plasma shot and anti virus shot and numerous boses to fight. Enjoy the trailer below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Star Trek: Voyager – Across the Unknown Demo Review

If, like me, you have been waiting to get your hands on Daedalic Entertainment’s upcoming title, Star Trek Voyager -Across the Unknown, you do have some more time before the full game launches. You can hop over to Steam right now, however, and try out the demo. I have already done this, and I must say, some great things are going on, and a few things I am disappointed with. Let’s get some of the bad out of the way.

For starters, at least in the demo, there are no voice actors. I was truly hoping to listen to Janeway and the crew listen and talk about the choices I made, both the good and the bad, as I made them. The demo, for example, allows you to just skip the entire trip. Instead of destroying the array, you can simply use it to come home. This does upset certain crew members, and you can make further decisions to upset even more of them.

Suck up all you want, you still aren’t getting promoted like your friend Tom.

This is a minor complaint; I don’t mind reading. It just would have been nice as a fan of the show to listen to Janeway and Chakotay bicker like an old married couple. The controls also felt a little slow to respond at times, which again could very easily have been my system, more than anything else.

The game, however, shines in other areas. The tutorial does a great job teaching you to play the game. Scanning systems and picking up supplies is simple and intuitive but can feel like life or death all the same. Having parts of your ship shut down because you didn’t think to shut down non-essential systems before jumping systems is a real bummer, and having to tell the crew to suck down rations instead of real food is a quick way to piss them off.

Combat feels like commanding a real starship. You don’t fly the ship yourself; instead, you give commands on what to target and when to fire torpedoes. Don’t waste time on slamming them off shields; they aren’t very effective. Wait too long, and the opportunity to cause some serious damage might pass.

Will this be the definitive Star Trek experience? It is far too soon to tell, but is it well on its way? Yes, this demo is painting the picture of a game many of us have long since wanted. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Construction Crew revealed. A new co-op simulator is coming to PC and consoles from Ultimate Games

Just announced by Ultimate Games and coming to consoles and Steam is Construction Crew. I won’t say it is coming soon, as it has some pretty lofty goals and some big shoes to fill. Tentatively, release is set for sometime in 2026 or 2027, but a demo is set to come out this month. Check out the demo below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
