New & Upcoming Games

Hyperstrangers!


Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to Frozenheim, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure!

But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.


CosmoPirates


Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.

CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.

NecroGolf


There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.

In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.

77p egg: Eggwife


If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator. Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!

Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!

Unless he gets lost in the grocery aisle again.

EMPTY SHELL


Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.

In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.

During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.

[h3]Wishlist the game!
If you can't wait to play, we have a prologue waiting for you![/h3]

Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty


If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII.

Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.

[h3]Do you have what it takes? Check out the limited time demo today and wishlist the game not to miss the launch that is happening later this month![/h3]

Hordes of Hunger is a fast-paced action arena slasher with roguelite elements set in the dark fantasy setting of Ismer. A land engulfed by the living hunger, the cosmic horror known only as the Beast. You are the unlucky one still living inside the nightmare and the only way out is through it.
