THEC64 Mini Black Edition Available Now

One of the world’s most iconic 8-bit computers, the Commodore 64, is back with a bold new look. THEC64 Mini – Black Edition is out today, bringing with it a curated library of modern C64 masterpieces and a sleek matte-and-gloss black finish that redefines what retro can look and feel like.

Developed by Retro Games Ltd. (RGL) in partnership with PLAION REPLAI, this limited-edition reimagining of the Commodore 64 isn’t just a piece of nostalgia – it’s a living celebration of the fans and developers who never stopped coding for the machine that launched a generation of creators.

“This isn’t a throwback, it’s a continuation,” said Paul Andrews, Managing Director at RGL. “The Black Edition celebrates the energy of a community that kept making, experimenting, and innovating long after the commercial era ended. It’s proof that creativity on the C64 never died.”

From bedroom coders to modern masters:

When the Commodore 64 debuted in 1982, it turned millions into makers. Decades later, that same spirit still drives a global homebrew scene incorporating a vibrant DIY community building new games for old hardware.

THEC64 Mini – Black Edition unites that scene in one definitive collection – 25 pre-installed, hand-picked neo-retro games created by some of the most talented contemporary C64 developers.

Highlights include:

Sam’s Journey: Platforming brilliance from Knights of Bytes (98% Zzap! Sizzler)
A Pig Quest: 2023’s critically acclaimed adventure from Piggy 18 Team (96% Zzap! Gold Medal)
Hessian: Cyberpunk action from Covert BitOps (93% Zzap! Sizzler)
Knight ’N’ Grail, Steel Ranger, Galencia, and more: Games that prove the C64 is still inspiring new worlds

BACK IN BLACK – A CELEBRATION OF CREATIVITY AND CULTURE:

The Back In Black campaign honors the underground aesthetic and raw creativity of the modern C64 scene. With its sleek black styling, plug-and-play HDMI, four save-slots per game, and a micro-switched USB joystick, this edition is built for collectors, coders, and newcomers alike. This new machine is authentic, modern, and unapologetically retro.

THEC64 Mini – Black Edition is available now on Amazon and RetroGames.biz for $119.99.

Flesh Made Fear Release Date Trailer

Assemble Entertainment is thrilled to reveal more spine-chilling details about the upcoming PC survival horror Flesh Made Fear. The latest warped adventure from Michael Cosio – the mastermind behind indie horror gems such as Terror at Oakheart, Weeping Falls Massacre, Meat Saw and Suffer the Night – arrives on Steam 31st October 2025.

Let’s take a look at why PC gamers will be sleeping with the lights on…

Blood and Cor!

Flesh Made Fear drips with gory nostalgia, channeling the spirit of our favourite classic PSX survival horror games with brain-twisting puzzles, nerve-rattling encounters, and an atmosphere that will have you holding your breath until the end credits. Fluid modern controls refine the terror, cinematic sequences drag you deeper into the darkness, and the story keeps you clinging on until the final, harrowing moment.

Our protagonist is a Reaper Intervention Platoon (R.I.P.) operative, drafted in to apprehend the deranged psychopath Victor “The Dripper” Ripper. One of the good guys turned very bad. The Dripper is hidden away in his self-made house of horrors, where you’ll uncover the extent of his madness.

Nightmare on………

Players can tackle the nightmare as one of two survivors, each with their own abilities and personal journey. Jack relies on grit and clever instincts to endure the horrors closing in around him, while Natalie meets the madness head-on with sharp resolve, quick wit, and relentless stamina. They’re both pitted against a grotesque legion of monstrosities spawned from Ripper’s twisted experiments.

The golden factor in Flesh Made Fear is vulnerability. By reintroducing mechanics like limited saves, tank controls, and restricted resources, the game forces players into a constant state of tension. Every decision – whether to fight, flee, or conserve ammunition – carries weight. This careful design, paired with grotesque visuals and a conspiratorial story, delivers an authentic yet modernized survival horror experience.

  • Limited save system: you must collect special items to save progress, so saving becomes a strategic choice.
  • Inventory management: Since slots are limited, you’ll need to juggle items carefully and use safe room storage.
  • Puzzle-driven narrative: solving intricate puzzles is key to unlocking secrets, advancing the story, and gaining access to new areas.
  • Each character has their own unique stats and story paths, adding replay value.
  • Combat & resources: You face grotesque monsters spawned from Ripper’s experiments. Weapons include pistols, grenade launchers, etc., but ammo and supplies are scarce.

Dora: Rainforest Rescue is Available Now on Consoles and PC

Outright Games, the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in partnership with Paramount, today launches Dora: Rainforest Rescue, the highly anticipated puzzle-platform adventure based on the CG-animated DORA series. The game is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC.

Launching in the 25th anniversary year of the Dora franchise, Dora: Rainforest Rescue invites players to join Dora and Boots on a mission to stop Swiper’s latest scheme and restore the magical Alebrije Tree. Across five vibrant locations, players can run, jump, and swing through colorful environments, collect Magic Leaves, and solve puzzles that seamlessly blend adventure with Spanish language learning.

Along the way, fans will meet beloved characters including Tico, Isa, Benny, Big Red Chicken, and Ale the Alebrije. A variety of engaging mini-games add extra fun to the adventure, including Swiper Swipe quick-reflex challenges, Troll’s Quiz educational riddles, and additional character-driven activities. A two-player local co-op mode allows families to explore, learn, and solve puzzles together.

With authentic visuals, music, and voice work, the game immerses players in Dora’s world, making them feel as if they’ve stepped straight into an episode of the show. The experience is further enriched by interactive mechanics, including using Map for navigation, unlocking new locations and objects, and collecting clues from friends to solve environmental riddles. Each of the five unique locations also offers fresh challenges, hidden secrets, and plenty of replay ability for young explorers.

Designed specifically for young players, the game features simple, intuitive mechanics that are clearly explained to make every step easy to follow. Instructions are reinforced both visually and verbally, with characters guiding players through objectives while on-screen prompts highlight the buttons to press. These thoughtful touches ensure that children of all ages can play confidently, creating an experience that feels both accessible and engaging.

“Today marks an exciting milestone as we bring Dora’s adventurous spirit to interactive entertainment,” said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games. “Dora: Rainforest Rescue captures everything families love about the franchise – adventure, problem-solving, and exposure to a new language – in a format that creates lasting memories for parents and children playing together.”

Since its debut on Nickelodeon in 2000, the Dora franchise has become one of the world’s most beloved preschool properties. Seen in over 150 countries and translated into 32 languages, the series has inspired millions of children globally and earned prestigious recognition, including Emmy®, Peabody, NAACP, Alma, Imagen, Latino Spirit, Gracie Allen, Parents’ Choice, Common Sense Media, and Television Critics Association awards.

Dora: Rainforest Rescue launches today on all major consoles and PC. To learn more, visit OutrightGames.com.

Folklore Hunter Announcement Trailer

Folklore Hunter, the co-op urban legend hunting survival game developed by Liquid Donkey Games, takes aim at the Mothman when it graduates from Steam Early Access on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, as revealed at DreadXP’s Indie Horror Showcase today with a brand new trailer.

Liquid Donkey Games has also revealed a new update available today, with full Steam Workshop support now implemented for the community to create and share their own custom content and mods. Versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch platforms are also in development, set to launch later in 2026.

When a father goes missing under mysterious circumstances looking for his kids, a village finds itself cursed by creatures of the night, or strange things are afoot at abandoned military biolabs, they call you. Dropped in uncharted lands with limited supplies and supernatural threats, your team has the skills to find an explanation for the unexplainable.

Track and hunt three mythic creatures in a fully-designed main campaign through a series of Story Hunts supporting single and multiplayer modes. Set up traps and cameras to capture the location of the horned Wendigo. Solve cryptic riddles and uncover hidden storylines that brought the vampiric Strigoi to a now vacant village. Find a way to communicate with the Mothman via electromagnetic radiation, but don’t linger. Whatever’s out there is tracking you, too.

Wander through wooded forests, dank caves, mysterious shrines, sealed catacombs, haunted churches, cult lairs, abandoned military outposts, and other handcrafted environments on a hunt for the world’s most fabled creatures of the night. Discover clues from bloody notes, obscurely placed skeletons, and other oddities to combine wit and intuition and outsmart otherworldly dangers.

Learn what brought each creature into this world and find a way to contain it before it takes any more lives. Take these lessons and apply them to shorter Contract Hunts to tackle randomized locations and puzzles, and earn rewards for living to unlock new gear, traps, and other helpful equipment to personalize your own hunting techniques.

“There are so many approaches to hunting these supernatural beings,” said Jayde Cohen, Founder and sole developer at Liquid Donkey Games. “Shotguns, crossbows, exploding gas cans, crucifixes — even runes with inscription tools to help survive. Pick your poison. How you use them, though? That’s a story for you to tell.”

Folklore Hunter chases after dark rustlings from the woods in Q1 2026 on PC via Steam. For more information, follow developer Liquid Donkey Games on Twitter and join everyone huddled around the fire over on Discord.

First Gameplay Teaser for the Paranormal Activity Video Game

First revealed in early 2024, the Paranormal Activity game has released its first gameplay teaser today. Published by indie horror experts, DreadXP, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, the Paranormal Activity film franchise is being brought to life by Brian Clarke of DarkStone Digital. Clarke is best known as the creator of the highly acclaimed indie horror success The Mortuary Assistant, also published by DreadXP. His upcoming game aims to deliver a uniquely chilling experience, faithful to the franchise’s legacy of found footage fear.

Brian Clarke’s The Mortuary Assistant was a breakout horror phenomenon upon its release in 2022, amassing millions of plays and a dedicated fanbase for its unnerving atmosphere and innovative scares. Clarke brings his signature approach to fear and immersion with the Paranormal Activity game, promising to expand on the franchise’s infamous found footage style horror in new and nightmarish ways.

The Paranormal Activity film franchise has terrified audiences worldwide since the release of the original film in 2007, spawning multiple sequels and cementing its status as a mainstay of modern horror. This new game adaptation will allow fans to experience the franchise’s trademark supernatural terror first-hand, with immersive gameplay that is sure to keep them wondering what happens next.

• Familiar Fuzzballs – Ulysses, Bubbles & Squeak return to demand affection and supervision. Yes, you can pet them. No, you can’t wash them.

Fair and Familiar Pricing
In a world of rising costs, FuturLab made one thing clear: PowerWash Simulator 2 launches at the same accessible price as the original £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99.

“After being on maternity leave for the past year, I’m in the enviable position of being able to return to work to a completed sequel of my favourite game.
