Frostrail Gameplay Overview Trailer

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Publisher Shiro Unlimited and developer FakeFish will release a public demo of Frostrail as part of Steam Next Fest, taking place October 19 to 26, 2026. The brutal co-op survival FPS from the studio behind Barotrauma ranks among the top 100 most wishlisted games on Steam.

In Frostrail, up to four players form a crew of pilgrim survivors and board a train traveling into a post-apocalyptic frozen wasteland, where they’ll need to keep the engine running and watch for stops along the way. Ruined settlements, abandoned mines, and long-forgotten crypts hold vital equipment and materials to maintain and fortify the train.

At each stop, players disembark, salvage whatever they can find, then return to the safety of the locomotive’s headlight. Lovecraftian creatures called Revenants prowl the frigid tundra, so the crew needs weapons, teamwork, and the will to survive to make it back alive.

“Frostrail is about surviving the worst conditions on board your steam-powered train,” said Ez Jämsen, Lead Designer at FakeFish. “We want to give survivors a real sense of being a crew and incentive to work together. There’s nothing quite like making it back to the train with your team and wondering how you managed to pull it off, then setting off to do it again at the next stop.”

Frostrail will launch in Steam Early Access for Windows PC and on Xbox on PC. The game supports English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese.

For more information, players can visit FakeFish’s official website and follow the game on X, Instagram, Facebook, and Discord. More information on Shiro Unlimited is available on the official website, and on X and Facebook.

Car Park Capital Is Out Now in Early Access

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

MicroProse and developer Hilkojj are delighted to announce that Car Park Capital is available now in Early Access on Steam.

And really, everybody is playing it these days.

Your neighbors are playing it. Urban planners are playing it. That suspiciously large corporation buying every property on your street is probably playing it too.

To celebrate the launch, a brand-new Early Access Launch Trailer is now available, showcasing the many opportunities awaiting aspiring parking magnates in the exciting world of automotive urban development.

What Is Car Park Capital?

In Car Park Capital, you’ve been hired by Big Auto to bring the Freedom of Car Dependency to towns that, through some unfortunate historical oversight, still contain homes, trees, pedestrians, and public transportation.

Buy land. Evict tenants. Demolish neighborhoods. Build magnificent seas of asphalt. Sell people cars, then charge them to park those cars. Drill for oil to fuel those cars. And when citizens begin wondering whether there might perhaps be another way to organize society, remind them how happy they are with some carefully positioned pro-car propaganda.

It’s not exploitation.

It’s mobility.

Behind the satire, Car Park Capital is a real-time strategy and management simulation where hundreds of citizens and vehicles interact across interconnected systems of traffic, production, needs, public opinion, and profitability.

BUILD THE AUTOMOTIVE PARADISE OF TOMORROW

Build enormous parking empires
Buy land, demolish buildings, and turn valuable urban space into beautiful expanses of asphalt. Build flat or use 3D construction tools to take your parking ambitions into the sky.

Give displaced citizens the gift of suburbia
Bought an apartment block that’s inconveniently full of people? Evict the tenants and build suburban neighborhoods with big driveways, zero walkability, and preferably very little public transport.

Manufacture demand for cars
Sell cars, create parking demand, level up, and unlock new buildings and services. Big Box Stores and Diners attract even more cars, which need even more parking. The system works.

Drill, refine, sell, repeat
Cars need fuel. Drill for oil, transport it to refineries, supply your gas stations, and keep the automotive economy moving.

Build increasingly sensible production chains
Manufacture cars for your car vending machines. Produce plastic trees. Raise cows and send them to meat grinders so hungry motorists can enjoy hamburgers without suffering the indignity of leaving their vehicles.

Satisfy every human need from behind a steering wheel
Food, drinks, gas, amusement, and restrooms all matter. Keep citizens satisfied and they’ll be willing to pay more for parking, fuel, cars, and your growing empire of drive-thru services.

Build the Giant Toilet Drive-Thru
Yes.

Win hearts and minds
Place shiny statues and billboards, or deploy megaphone trucks blasting pro-car propaganda through the streets. Citizens have individual thoughts, happiness levels, and opinions about the increasingly automotive world around them.

Deal with people who inexplicably object
Demolishing neighborhoods, cutting down trees, paving everything, and drilling for oil may cause protests. Protesters can block businesses and influence other citizens. Fortunately, riot police exist.

Defeat public transportation
Trains and underground systems can move people around surprisingly efficiently, which is obviously a problem. Convince their passengers that true freedom comes with four wheels and a monthly parking bill.

Solve environmental problems with plastic
Dead trees making people upset? Manufacture plastic trees to help reduce Civil Unrest. They’re green. What more could anyone want?

Worship the Stat-o-matic
Track income, spending, citizen Needs, and the numbers that really matter. A true tycoon knows that if the graph goes up, things are going well.

Car Park Capital combines management, strategy, real-time simulation, production chains, and urban-planning satire into a game about asking one of the great questions of our age

The action-packed launch trailer plunges viewers into the horrifying war at the heart of Valor Mortis.Key characters, including The Shrike (Jennifer English), set the stage for a story across occupied Eastern Europe, where Napoleon’s campaign has twisted into something unnatural.

A Grand Napoleonic Narrative: Napoleon’s conquest has unleashed something far more horrifying than war.

First-Person Soulslike Combat: Challenging, stamina-and-skill-based combat designed to feel threatening and immersive, drawing on One More Level’s expertise in first-person perspective. Every death is a stepping stone to mastery as you perfect your ability to parry blows, dash out of harm’s way, and deliver ravaging, visceral finishers.
Dual-Wielding and Supernatural Powers: Master fluid combat by weaving together Napoleonic-era weaponry, such as rapiers and flintlock pistols, while also utilizing William’s devastating supernatural abilities.
Metroidvania-Style Exploration: Use William’s newfound mobility to outrun and flank Napoleon’s plague-ridden Eternal Guard. Progress carefully, uncover environmental secrets, and survive the rotting remnants of an endless war.
Superb Audiovisual Quality: A disturbing aesthetic built on theatrical lighting and mature, grim themes, with an original score co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, known for his work on Silent Hill 2 Remake, The Medium, and Layers of Fear 1 and 2, alongside in-house composer Oskar Bała.

Portentum Demo Out Now

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News

Snowfall Games has just unleashed a very generous demo of their upcoming cryptid deck-building auto-battler Portentum ahead of its Steam Early Access launch October 28th. Portentum combines original hand-drawn cryptid artwork with deep deck-building strategy, letting you hunt for broken combos using legendary creatures from around the world, like Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, Mothman, the Chupacabra, and of course, Jimothy. If somebody’s uncle saw it in the woods in 1973, there’s a good chance it’s a card in Portentum!

This Steam demo build lets you play standard runs as many times as you want with six developer-curated decks. Every time you go to battle a snapshot of your warband will be added to the matchmaking pool for other players to be matched against. You’ll also be able to preview the collection where you can view all the cards that will be available in the full game, but building your own deck will be locked until the full game launches. You can play a standard run at your own pace against other players on the ladder asynchronously.

The Steam Early Access launch will add Tournament mode, where you can play against your friends in realtime, and Arena mode, where you draft a deck, will also be locked until the full game launches. Achievements, the store, and battle passes will also unlock upon launching on Early Access, where it will be free-to-play.

“With Portentum launching later this month we wanted to give players time to practice and experiment with the wealth of strategy that lies in store in the full game,” said Jaden Holladay, Co-Founder at Snowfall Games. “We’ll also be participating in Steam Next Fest, but after seeing the resounding response we had at PAX, we didn’t want to wait that long to let the rest of the world hop into our cryptid-collecting chaos!”

More about Portentum:
The rules of Portentum are simple: assemble a warband and win 10 rounds of battle. Build your deck of 30 cards, each containing a cryptid or mushrooms, then make strategic decisions with each hand you’re dealt, as you compete against another player’s warband.

Once you’ve assembled your deck, head to the shop to deal a hand from your selected deck for that run. Spend gold to play cards from your hand, mobilize a five-slot warband, and then send your squad of monsters out to fight! Win ten rounds to achieve victory. Lose five, and you’re out.

Portentum’s meta is ever-evolving, as every warband you create joins the pool that other players face. As you keep playing and opening card packs, entirely new deck-building possibilities and obscenely killer combos will enter the fray, providing an endless array of strategic possibilities and challenges!
