Merge Games, together with Blackstaff Games and Northern Ireland Screen, is delighted to announce the unique city-management/puzzle game, Buildings Have Feelings Too! is out today on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Traditional city-sim games involve players building and developing a metropolis for their digital community to inhabit. Buildings Have Feelings Too! tuns the genre on its head with the buildings taking centre stage and the inhabitants reduced to a mere currency in a game that’s all about regeneration and urban planning. Brick by brick buildings must band together as over time communities and neighbourhoods are constructed with new purpose and shared goals. Do you have what it takes to turn this city into the metropolitan empire it yearns to be? Remember, Buildings Have Feelings Too!
Buildings Have Feelings Too! is proud to have received funding support through Northern Ireland Screen’s Assembler Programme (http://www.northernirelandscreen.co.uk/).
Buildings Have Feelings Too! is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One priced $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99.

Having kick-started its movement to both refresh and honour the survival-horror genre with Song of Horror on PC, Raiser Games and Protocol Games are utterly spooked to announce that the game will come to both PlayStation and Xbox consoles as one single release on 28th May 2021.
The release will allow console players to follow the same path their PC brethren enjoyed, taking on a thrilling paranormal story where the threat of The Presence, a dark entity that reacts to your way of playing, looms large throughout.
https://youtu.be/zRx6ZefGiH0
Song of Horror sees players set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of famed but now elusive writer Sebastian P. Husher – a man who, along with his entire family, has vanished without a trace. Taking on any one of 13 different characters, Song of Horror is a Lovecraftian, third person adventure that pays homage to classic masterpieces of the survival-horror genre.
“We,ve always been incredibly humbled by the reception Song of Horror received from PC players, and now’s the time to drag console players into the brooding mystery the game has to offer,” says studio co-founder Carlos Grupeli. “The survival-horror genre has such a long & rich history on both PlayStation and Xbox that it feels like absolutely the right home for our little ode to all that has gone before to an audience that truly appreciates real scares.”
At its heart, Song of Horror is a non-combat adventure where the focus is instead on running and hiding, staying silent in the midst of all the terror to avoid triggering unnerving manifestations, capable of bringing the game’s protagonists to the brink of insanity. With the ever-present threat of The Presence keeping players on their toes from start to finish – powered by an AI that adapts to your gameplay -, Song of Horror’s mission to keep you severely spooked is one it never lets up on.
Song of Horror features: –
A truly dynamic terror experience: its antagonist, the supernatural entity known only as The Presence, is controlled by an advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) that reacts to your actions and decisions.
Experience unbearable fear as this otherworldly being responds to your way of playing and hunts you down in unexpected ways, offering a unique experience to every player and gameplay where tension builds up naturally instead of coming from scripted sequences.
Live this story through the eyes of a varied set of characters related to the story in their own way. Every character is different, and brings their unique point of view to the investigation, allowing them to approach clues and items differently.
Their actions and decisions will shape the world: some of them will know more or less of certain aspects of the story; some will be more effective against supernatural manifestations, but all of them can die if the Presence gets to them – and death can be permanent. If they die, you will have to pick the story up with another one, and continue the investigation so their deaths are not in vain.
A mysterious antique shop, a forgotten abbey, an abandoned mental hospital… Each location in Song of Horror is inspired by the classics of the genre. Explore and investigate these haunted places to gather clues and items that will help you solve challenging puzzles while enduring the agonizing tension of the game’s atmosphere.
Song of Horror will launch on PlayStation and Xbox 28th May 2021.
Interabang Entertainment, in collaboration with Spoony Bard Productions, is stoked to announce that Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl, a side-scrolling 8-bit-inspired beat-em-up previously released on Nintendo Switch and Steam, is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One/X|S on May 20. The new versions of Mall Brawl will be available digitally and as a special physical release in collaboration with Limited Run Games.

12 Song 8-Bit Mall Brawl Soundtrack
18’ x 24’ Reversible Poster
After sabotaging a public-access TV “Truth or Date” broadcast that was being filmed at the mall, Jay and Silent Bob are pursued by the chief of security LaFours and his low-level goons. The duo will have to battle a path back home to their familiar post outside the Quick Stop. They’ll face countless security guards, aggressive mall rats, bouncing barrels, and a host of other threats that are bound to be familiar to players who grew up in the NES era of 8-bit brawlers.
Mall Brawl stars Kevin Smith’s iconic duo in a game that draws from the entire View Askeweniverse. Players can take on the challenge solo, swapping between characters at will, or bring along a bud for some two-player couch co-op. The pixel art may give you flashbacks to simpler times, but combos, weapons, and other touches provide depth for those who seek it.
In addition to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Mall Brawl will be available on Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility. Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch, Interabang’s follow-up to Mall Brawl, is coming to PC later this year.

Curl that chest hair and polish up your best gold chain, because legendary ladies man Larry Laffer is headed to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on May 18, 2021, in Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Dry Twice. Publisher Assemble Entertainment and developer CrazyBunch are more excited than Larry when English Leather cologne goes on sale, especially with the PC version winning “Best Classic Adventure of 2020” from the Adventure Game of the Year (AGOTY) Awards. Help Larry track down his missing soulmate, the lovely Faith, who has mysteriously disappeared in the tropical paradise of Kalau’a — now from the comfort of your couch or on the go!
Currently enjoying a “Very Positive” review metric on Steam and a successful run on the original love machine, aka the PC, Wet Dreams Dry Twice is everything the long-running and legendary adventure series is known for: a plucky protagonist, more than 50 gorgeous, hand-drawn locations to explore, new friends as well as beloved recurring characters from previous games, and of course, plenty of naughty puns and hilarious puzzles to solve.
“Wet Dreams Dry Twice was a big hit on the PC, and it’s our pleasure to finally share the even cheekier adventures of Larry with console players,” said Assemble Entertainment CEO Stefan Marcinek. “There’s a charm to this series that keeps players coming back again and again, and Larry’s latest quest might be his most important of all.”
In the events of the last game, our heartsick hero Larry Laffer found himself stranded in Cancum and ready to leave the single life behind. Unfortunately, one thing led to another and Larry’s true love and future wife (hopefully) Faith has disappeared somewhere amongst the sunny series of islands in the Kalau’a Archipelago. Can Larry avoid temptation and stay focused enough to find out what happened and reunite with Faith?
