What: Next Soul, Please! is a satirical narrative game where you judge the fate of the dead as a low-level employee in the afterlife’s most dysfunctional bureaucracy.

Why should you care? Interrogate souls, cross-reference holy texts, and survive the paperwork of eternity, all while navigating divine politics, absurd rules, and your own questionable coworkers. Your moral compass is your only guide (until it isn’t).

What: Cult of Blood is a dark fantasy survival horror game set in a twisted world ruled by an evil witch and her bloodthirsty cult.

Why should you care? Cult of Blood stands out with its tight, deliberate combat system combining ranged and melee attacks, forcing you to switch tactics dynamically as you face relentless enemies. Its fixed camera perspectives create a cinematic yet claustrophobic feel, intensifying the dread of exploring corrupted environments while ensuring every encounter is framed for maximum tension and atmosphere. We’re just two childhood friends working all day and night, unstoppable in our dedication to bring our visions and dreams to life.

What: Moros Protocol is a sci-fi FPS roguelite that combines the intense combat of classic ‘90’s “boomer-shooters” and the challenge of souls-like boss fights. Set aboard a derelict warship called The Orpheus, your mission as its last protector is to purge the deadly infection known as the Darkphage.

Why should you care? Moros Protocol is a unique blend of a roguelite’s procedural level generation, a souls-like’s punishing boss encounters, and a boomer-shooters fast paced over the top gameplay. On top of that, the pixel-painted artstyle is a striking throwback to those 90’s roots.

What: Necrophosis is a first-person horror adventure, plunging you into a nightmarish realm teeming with grotesque forms and ominous visuals. Delve into eerie landscapes and uncover secrets in this atmospheric journey through the macabre.

Why should you care? Necrophosis’ world is directly inspired by the paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński, a Polish surrealist known for his hellish, decaying dreamscapes. Few games have captured that same existential dread, and even fewer recreated it in real-time 3D environments this convincingly. It’s not just creepy, it’s beautiful in a grotesque, poetic way. This isn’t body horror or jump-scare horror, it’s “art horror.” The visuals are like walking through a nightmare version of a museum exhibit.

Developer: Dragonis Games
​Genres: First-person horror adventure / Lovecraftian / Surreal
​Release Date: 25 april 2025

Why should you care?

What: Placeground is a meditative space-building simulation where you design interior spaces using modular toys, decorative oddities, and architectural imagination. Think of it as an eclectic IKEA interactive catalog come to life, if the catalog was illustrated by M.C. Escher and directed by Wes Anderson.

Why should you care? In Placeground, you can design your dream home or the most unconventional space your imagination can come up with, at no cost, using only your time and creativity.

Experiment with color, shape, combinations, and form, and watch as NPCs respond to your creations in curious, abstract, narrative-driven ways.
