Blood Dungeon Delivers Chaotic Roguelite Precision with Spelunky-Style Action

Blood Dungeon blends Vampire Survivors-like auto-fire with Spelunky-style arena runs, offering quirky characters, RNG-driven upgrades purchased with blood, and a brutal but rewarding difficulty ramp. Its MS Paint-inspired visuals and a dungeon-DnB soundtrack amplify the tension as you dodge bizarre enemies and rack up near-misses across fast, arena-sized rounds. The game shines as a portable, endlessly replayable experience on Switch 2 and Steam Deck while avoiding the hollow slot-machine loop of similar titles.

The Long Arm of Laughs: A One-Limb Stealth Game Slaps Its Way to PC

Toot Games' My Arms Are Longer Now reimagines stealth as a 3D, joke-forward indie experience centered on a single extendable arm that steals and slaps its way through NPCs. The game emphasizes humor over puzzles, features more than 40 voiced characters, and uses a tube-like limb with forced perspective to preserve its illustrated style after a 2D prototype. It secured publishing with Jackbox Games and is planned for PC release in 2027.

Metroid Dream Inspires Immortality Studio’s New FMV Horror, Precognition

Immortality Studio (Half Mermaid) revealed Precognition, an FMV sci‑fi horror about a woman who gains visions of the future via a brain implant and records them as memories. It originated from Sam Barlow’s long‑concealed idea for an FMV Metroid game that proved too dark to pitch, and is described as non‑linear with strong player agency and a notebook‑style approach. Canadian director Brandon Cronenberg is writing, with a release planned for PC, PS5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2 in spring 2028. It’s not connected to Samus Aran or a Metroid game, but rather a new, darker standalone experience.

Priced as a $200 joke, a Steam game nets $1.38M gross, but leaves the creator with about $2k

An 18-year-old New Hampshire creator released This Game Costs $200 on Steam as a joke, pricing it at the platform’s max; it sold 6,717 copies and grossed about $1.38 million, but 6,707 buyers were refunded, leaving the developer Michael Major with roughly $2,045 after refunds, with most sales coming from China. The Steam page bills the title as a “swindle” and a psychological experiment, and it’s described as a sequel to This Game Costs $10.
