Post-Apocalyptic Action-RPG RoadOut Launching Today on PC and Consoles

DANGEN Entertainment and developer Rastrolabs have announced that RoadOut has released today on Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
 

RoadOut is a story-driven post-apocalyptic action-RPG fusing 2.5D rotatable dungeon crawling with retro-style car exploration and vehicular combat.

Players step into the role of Claire, a mercenary for hire who races, fights, hacks, and crashes her way through the ruins of The Dead Zone. In her quest to uncover her connection to A.I. she’ll uncover conspiracies, clash with gangs, track down relics, and personalize her ride (and body) for maximum style and destruction.
 

A final, action-packed trailer has been revealed alongside its launch. The trailer highlights RoadOut’s mix of twin stick action, on-wheels exploration and rock n’ roll style racing (yes, like the SNES game).

Players can look forward to puzzle-filled dungeons, overworld exploration on wheels, arcade style racing, upgrades and mods, all wrapped in a retro post-apocalyptic world seething with style and synthwave.

STORY
 

After a great cataclysm, what’s left is a post-apocalyptic world dominated by an A.I. with rebel groups that take refuge in a desert area known as The Dead Zone. Claire survives in this world by executing black market contracts for local leaders involving delivery, sabotage and murder. The Dead Zone, now not so dead, is occupied by three rival factions: The Wasteheads, The SaibaKuran, and Order of the New Code. While investigating her past, Claire uncovers strange evidence that links her existence to the origin of the A.I.

GAMEPLAY

Part exploration on-wheels, part dungeon crawler, RoadOut shifts between retro-style behind-the-wheel action and on-foot brawling. Switch from turbo-charged chases to twin-stick shootouts. Drive into run-down city hubs, take on underground side quests, and blow up dangerous hideouts. Players can upgrade both Claire and her ride with body mod and vehicular customization, while scouring the world for items to craft their own items, weapons and upgrades.

Explore the World on Wheels

The world is no longer the same. All that remains is The Dead Zone, a large artificial biome created to sustain a new era of humanity. Drive through The Dead Zone doing jobs, getting paid and running roughshod over the scum guarding the secrets of the world. Join factions, fight rival gangs, barter items and take up quests to earn clout while progressing Claire’s story.

Twin Stick Combat and Dungeon Exploration

Body Mods and Cybernetics

Exit your ride and explore locations in the world of RoadOut on foot. Crush bandits with short and long range attacks, block with your shield, and recover using drugs that you’ve crafted on the way. Solve puzzles using fully rotatable stack sprite perspectives that look 2D, but are actually 3D. Craft new moves, weapons and drugs to survive. You can customize Claire with body mods, cybernetics, and an intricate skill tree system. Upgrade her car to traverse different terrain and withstand the effects of weather, night and day.
 

Battle in Your Bitchin’ Ride

Equipped with weapons and other tech, Claire’s car is your best friend against dangers in The Dead Zone. Hungry animals are ready to rip you apart. Murderous bandits will rob your lifeless corpse. Prepare for the worst with your car and its arsenal of weapons.

Race for Glory

The world may have come to an end, but who said we can’t have fun? Ride or die in red-hot races to be the best on the post apocalyptic circuit. 10 tracks in multiple biomes, innumerable races, all of them equal measures deadly and glorious. Indulge in extra game modes such as destruction derby-style racing and twisted battle arena, all while roading out to a thumping synthwave soundtrack.

Indie Dev Monoii Studio Announces Cozy Idle Management game ‘Bottled By Bears’

 Indie developer Monoii Studio has announced Bottled By Bears, a cozy idle management game where players help a family of bears run their honey farm. The game is heading to Steam in 2026, with a free demo arriving next month

In Bottled By Bears, you open beepacks to discover bees. Better bees (rarer, higher level, shiny) make better honey that sells for more, and you use that money to buy more packs and upgrade your farm. Rinse and repeat as your collection grows and your business expands.

Alongside the management loop, there’s a collection side and a decoration side. Track down every bee in the catalogue (shinies included) and personalize your farm layout however you like. Flowers grow dynamically based on which bees live in your hives, so your field changes shape as your collection does.

Features

  • Bee discovery: open beepacks to find bees of all kinds, including rare and shiny variants
  • Honey production: bottle jars with the help of the bear family
  • Sell and grow: serve walk-in customers or take on big honey orders to expand your business
  • Upgrades: improve your hives, selling stand, and unlock new beepacks as you progress
  • Farm customization: decorate your farm and edit the flower fields, which grow based on the bees you collect

Availability and Assets
A free demo will be available on Steam next month, with the full release planned for later this year.

Satirical Phone‑Repair Adventure ‘In Trusted Hands’ Now Available On All Major Console Platforms

Indie studio HGISoft and console publisher Games Harbor proudly announce the official worldwide launch of satirical phone‑repair adventure In Trusted Hands on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 4/5.

Become a phone repair technician with access to the personal data of your customers — a responsibility that quickly turns into a series of moral dilemmas. Your choices will shape their destinies.


Gameplay trailer can be watched here


ABOUT THE GAME :


In Trusted Hands is a satirical narrative simulator that explores modern fears surrounding privacy and the loss of personal data. Drawing on over 20 years’ experience in the device repair industry, the game turns everyday incidents from repair shops into humorous, dramatic, and occasionally unsettling interactive stories.


Players take on the role of a phone repair technician who has full technical access to customers’ devices — and, by extension, their private lives. Each repair presents a new ethical dilemma: should they remain professional or delve deeper into messages, photos, and apps, potentially influencing the fate of the city’s residents?


Beyond repairs, players can purchase used phones and sell spare parts to expand their workshop. They can even become involved in covert operations. A chance encounter with a secret agent could see the technician become an undercover government informant, adding an espionage element to the experience.


Every action has consequences. A seemingly harmless decision such as copying the genome of a rare plant to help solve a food shortage, can trigger unexpected ripple effects. In In Trusted Hands, even the best intentions can lead to unpredictable outcomes.

  • Console Publisher: Games Harbor;

Top Hat Studios, Inc., in collaboration with developer Regular Studio, is pleased to announce that action-adventure game MOTORSLICE is now available for PC, PS5 and the Xbox Family. 

Watch the MOTORSLICE Launch Trailer Here

MOTORSLICE is a parkour action-adventure game about a routine job gone wrong. Inspired by the Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge series, you will traverse through brutalist landscapes and fight massive heavy machines in this slice of life game with immaculate vibes. 

PARKOUR

Parkour through a brutalist post-apocalyptic world with smooth gameplay and engage in seamless combat encounters. You must use your skills and agility to find your way in this desolate place.

Play as a girl named ‘P’ and use everything at her disposal to escape from deadly traps. Run, climb, slide, crouch, wall run, perform stunts, and even use your chainsaw to cross impossible distances.

HEAVY MACHINES

From smaller autonomous construction equipment to massive dump trucks, survive a hostile environment where everything wants to kill you. Who’s gonna win, a sleepy girl with a chainsaw, or an army of rogue machines?

Strike first, or die. A single mistake can cost your life in a brutal clash of metal. Too big to destroy with one swing? Climb bosses and slice them into pieces, turning colossal machines into dust.

MEGASTRUCTURE

Not everything can be solved with a chainsaw. Alone with a flashlight, you are powerless against the crushing atmosphere of the structure. Rush through the darkness in endless corridors and cross liminal spaces.

Insignificant as you are on the scale of this cursed place, you have to face your fears and complete the job. But can you fight your megalophobia?

SLICE OF LIFE

Get in, eliminate all the machines, get out. That was the job. But upon arriving at an abandoned megastructure, P discovers an imposing dreadful machine, and she soon realizes that this is no ordinary job.

Partner with a mysterious malfunctioning Orb Drone and embark on a daily routine of a ‘Slicer’. With nothing more than her chainsaw, she must bring this place down, no matter what.
