Rue Valley Praised by Disco Elysium Creators – Demo Available Now

Recently, publisher Owlcat Games, together with Emotion Spark Studio – the indie developer behind the narrative RPG Rue Valley – shared insights into the game’s development on the Human Can Opener Podcast. Praised by Disco Elysium creators Robert Kurvitz and Aleksander Rostov, Rue Valley is set to launch later this year, with a demo available now on Steam.

Starting development in 2020 with a team of four, Rue Valley draws inspiration from titles like Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium. The game features time-loop mechanics, where time progresses only through player interaction, and NPCs have their own unique worldviews that breathe life into the game. The personality system allows players to shape their character’s traits, ensuring each playthrough is unique.

The game’s hand-drawn art style, inspired by stop-motion and the “Spider-Verse” films, combines semi-3D visuals with comic-book aesthetics. Years of experimentation went into perfecting the lighting, textures, and animations.

A pivotal moment in development came when Disco Elysium creators Robert Kurvitz, Aleksander Rostov, and Helen Hindpere visited Belgrade and played the Rue Valley demo. Their insights not only validated the team’s creative vision but also provided invaluable feedback that helped refine its core elements.

Kurvitz, renowned for his groundbreaking work in Disco Elysium and his novel Sacred and Terrible Air, was immediately drawn to the game’s isometric art style and dialogue system. At one particularly challenging moment in gameplay, his genuine excitement upon overcoming it electrified the Emotion Spark team, reinforcing their belief in the game’s depth and engagement.

Hindpere, playing the demo separately, described Rue Valley as both familiar and refreshingly original. She recognized similarities in storytelling tools and dialogue mechanics but emphasized that the game carves its own path.

Rostov, the visionary art director of Disco Elysium, delved into the visual identity of Rue Valley. During a follow-up visit to the studio, he engaged in an in-depth discussion about the art style, even suggesting thoughtful improvements like adding character shadows casting on themselves, which left a lasting impression on the team.

Their feedback served as both encouragement and inspiration, reaffirming Rue Valley’s potential as a bold and emotionally complex narrative RPG.

Marko Smiljanic, Creative Director at Emotion Spark, described the experience as surreal. He mentioned that meeting the creators of Disco Elysium—a game that heavily inspired Rue Valley—was both humbling and motivating. Hearing their feedback and seeing them enjoy the game was a dream come true for the team.

For players eager to experience Rue Valley, a free demo version is now available on Steam. The demo offers a glimpse into the game’s unique mechanics, art style, and narrative depth, allowing players to explore the world and systems that have already captivated industry veterans.

Chernobylite 2 Now in Early Access – Official Story Trailer

Chernobylite 2 is our dream project. After more than 10 years of various activities related to Chornobyl and dozens of visits to this place, we can finally share the massive part of what we consider the ultimate Chornobyl experience. What started with VR documentaries and low-scale indie projects has become a fully-fledged RPG game, playable in the open world, with hundreds of ways to craft your character and story.

Get the game from Steam: (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2075100/Chernobylite_2_Exclusion_Zone/) for 34.99$ with a 10% discount offer, that ends March 20th, and join the developers’ server on Discord: (https://discord.com/invite/mehRmzY).

Entering the world of Chernobylite 2, even in Early Access, you can expect to double or triple the time spent with the first game – not just because the Zone itself is about 20 times bigger this time but also thanks to the number of quests, events, encounters, and gameplay mechanics. On top of it, you can play from two different perspectives – first person or third person, which is possible thanks to the success of our recently finished Kickstarter campaign.

Our goal was to deliver the Early Access version, which is very advanced and polished in most parts. According to many closed playtests and our demo reception, most of the gameplay mechanics and big chunks of the content are already polished. Early Access contains about 30-40% of the final scope of the world and story. Most weapons and players’ equipment parts are already present in the game as lootable elements.

We believe that Chernobylite 2, similar to the first Chernobylite, will be a much better game, thanks to its development in Early Access. We have already seen that constant feedback from our community allows us to adapt our vision to players’ needs, and for a big RPG game, the number of adjustments we can make is huge. We estimate the game will stay in Early Access for 6-10 months. This is the time required to let your feedback influence a project of this scale and to validate together changes made during Early Access.

The Fading of Nicole Wilson Announcement Trailer

Releasing later this year on PC, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, the game explores themes of authenticity, sacrifice, and the cost of fitting in.

Teenager Brit, feeling trapped in her small-town life, takes on a ghost-hunting job at the abandoned Timberline Hotel, hoping to make a name for herself. But when her employer is suddenly hospitalized, she is left alone to investigate. What starts as a routine paranormal inquiry quickly spirals into something far more sinister.

Split Fiction Launches Today

The co-op masterminds are back! Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) and Hazelight Studios invite players to embark on an action-packed buddy adventure in Split Fiction, available now on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA app for $49.99. The title has achieved universal acclaim on Metacritic and earned perfect scores from more than 26 media, including Variety, TechRadar Gaming and GameSpot, who called it “a hilarious, compassionate, and delightful new benchmark for multiplayer experiences.” Split Fiction is the #1 Best-Reviewed Game of 2025 so far.

In Split Fiction, players take on the roles of Mio and Zoe as they traverse through vibrant sci-fi and fantasy worlds, working together and uncovering the power of unexpected friendship. Hazelight Studios, the creative minds behind the 2021 Game of the Year winner It Takes Two (23 million units sold worldwide), takes its proven co-op formula to the next level in Split Fiction with more gameplay variety than ever before.

“Split Fiction is filled with the wildest stuff you’ll ever see in a co-op game. The gameplay variety is insane and I’m incredibly proud of the level of polish that we managed to do,” said Josef Fares. “You’re going to visit some really incredible sci-fi and fantasy worlds, collaborate, and have a lot of fun – you guys are gonna love it.”

Mio and Zoe are aspiring writers who are trapped in a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. The two must set aside their differences to break out of the simulation of their own stories. Along the way, they will discover new mechanics and abilities in every level of their adventure. Escape a sun that’s going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty, and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. Experience worlds that are entirely different from each other, unexpected new abilities, and a range of gameplay that includes platforming, puzzles, and more.

As players journey through different landscapes, they will encounter mysterious portals that lead to Side Stories: brief, optional twists on gameplay that launch Mio and Zoe into unfinished drafts and creative story concepts from their writing, varying up the gameplay even further. Players won’t want to miss climbing a giant-infested mountain, surfing across the desert on the backs of sand sharks, or waterskiing behind a flying train.

“Split Fiction is a bombastic, no-holds-barred celebration of what video games do best – entertain!” said Jeff Gamon, General Manager of EA Partners. “Once again, Josef and the fantastic team at Hazelight have proven themselves champions of cooperative adventure gaming. I’m as confident as anyone could be that gamers, their friends, families and loved ones will lose themselves completely in this extraordinary co-op journey.”

Split Fiction can be played cooperatively with local multiplayer or online using Friend’s Pass, a staple feature from Hazelight Studios that allows players who own a copy of the game to invite a friend to play the full game with them for free. As with the base game, cross-play options are enabled for Friend’s Pass on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

Split Fiction is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and EA app for $49.99. The game is rated ESRB TEEN and PEGI 16.
