Object Impermanence is a puzzle game where the moment you look away from something, it stops existing

Remember when you were a baby, and someone would cover their face with their hands, thusly disappearing entirely from existence, only to return and scream at you? This is to do with something called object permanence, an idea of understanding that even when you can't see something, it still exists, something that babies genuinely do struggle with.

Man a gate and keep out people, chickens and unknown horrors alike in the Paper Please-esque Dreadwoods Gatekeeper

Most Papers Please-likes that I'm aware of tend to all have a throughline in being 2D. That'll for sure be because one, it'll be easier to make and two, most derivative works don't exactly move that far away from their source of inspiration. That isn't so for Dreadwoods Gatekeeper however, an old timey one of those which positions you as a gatekeeper at an outpost where you're all by your lonesome, bar all the travellers and foul that turn up. Also I think there's monsters. Read more

Build a medieval castle piece by piece and then defend it from enemy knights in the city builder and RTS Bergfried

How about a two-for-one today? Perhaps something from the RTS tower defence and city builder departments? Oh, and we'll throw in a medieval flavouring too, on the house. With all of that mixed together and wrapped up nicely, you get Bergfriend, a game in which you build medieval castles to your own specifications, and then defend them from rival knights who want to take them from you.

After spending more than a decade in early access, robotic survival game Scrap Mechanic enters 1.0 later this month

You ever just blink and 10 years of your life have gone by just like that? I wonder if that's how the developers behind Scrap Mechanic feel, given that the survival sandbox game about building fancy machines out of whatever you can get your hands on celebrated its 10th year in early access back in January. That's a long time! So long I don't want to think about it, so instead let's look forwards by about, I don't know, 20 days, as that's when Scrap Mechanic will be launching into 1.0. Read mo

Dragon Age writer David Gaider's next game is a light-hearted heist RPG, if he can get the funding for it

Since being founded back in 2017, Summerfall Studios have only managed to put out a couple of games, 2023's Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and last year's Malys, a devil exercising deckbuilder. Unfortunately for the studio, neither game did amazingly, but according to co-founder and Dragon Age writer David Gaider, the studio is hoping to work on something new still: a heist RPG. Read more

Now is the winter of your discontent, console blaggards: the RPS team reflect on PlayStation going digital-only

This week brought the news that Sony will stop selling physical PlayStation games at the start of 2028. Not just for their own games, but third-party, too. Here in the world of PC gaming, we've largely been without physical game releases for yonks now, but this move by Sony has stirred up some discussion at RPS. Mainly, is this a big deal or, as ever, a sign of the consoles lazily trudging after the path carved on PC? Read more
