Wavetale World Premiere and Surprise Launch
Splashing onto Google Stadia today before surfing its way over to PC and Console in 2022, Wavetale is a third-person action adventure game from Thunderful Studios, the creators of Lost in Random and SteamWorld, with beautiful visuals, a stirring soundtrack and a heart-warming story.
Explore an open sea and the decaying archipelago of Strandville as you take control of Sigrid, a young girl who befriends a mysterious shadow that provides her with the power to walk on water. Speed through the waves, swing yourself from housetops with your net, and defeat an old nemesis to save the citizens of the islands, all with a bit of help from the shadows down below—and your cranky grandmother.

Cursed to Golf
Chuhai labs treats us to another look at their eagerly anticipated golf-like adventure, Cursed to Golf, launching on PC and Console in 2022.

To ascend back to the land of the living, you’ll need to play through 18 dungeon-like holes.
This new look at the game gives a quick overview of the story and the Ace Cards, one of the key gameplay mechanics that will give you an upper hand against the devilishly difficult holes of Golf Purgatory. There’s so much still to share about what makes Cursed to Golf a real hole in one, so keep your eyes peeled for more soon!
