Only the Greatest Heroes Can Stop the Reptilian Invasion in the Spring!

February 18, 2026 | British developers Gregarious Games and Robot Circus, and independent game publisher Numskull Games are proud to announce that turn-based tactical RPG with claymation visuals Reptilian Rising has received a brand new demo today on Steam in advance of its long awaited full release.

The full game is scheduled to launch in digital format this Spring on Nintendo Switch and Steam.

Pricings

• Game only (eShop and Steam): $29.99 with a 20% off during the first 2 weeks after launch.
• Game + OST download code + Visual Novel eBook (only Steam): $39.99 with a 20% off during the first 2 weeks after launch.

The timeline and everyone in it (that includes you) is under siege! Confront the Reptilian Rising, bring retro miniatures to life on battlefields across time. Fight against The Ouroboros through seven time periods, recruit the best of humanity’s heroes, and upgrade your favorites for the fight ahead. To accomplish this mission, players will take the role of recognisable faces, from heroes like Winston Churchill, Cleopatra, Albert Einstein and many more as they battle against an army of reptile monsters, like a three-headed fascist dinosaur, the Tri-Cannon - a triceratops mashed with a minigun and a legion of scaly sociopaths.

Open the door, get on the floor, everybody shoot the dinosaur

As if talking dinosaurs and flesh-hungry lizardmen weren’t bad enough, your time-traveling heroes will have to battle a weird, wild army of invaders. Malevolent Manborgs, lethal Lazer Raptors, the terrifying Tri-Cannon (a bogus hybrid of Triceratops and minigun), and the diabolical Dictatorsaur.

Great Scott! Dictatorsaur!?

With three of humanity’s worst villains sharing one giant dinosaur body, you’ll need the best our species can muster to even the odds. Call up heroes from the dawn of history like Julius Caesar (et tu, Reptiles?), medieval masters of war, like Robin Hood (take from the rich, shoot arrows at dinosaurs) and great minds of super-science like Albert Einstein - all things are relative, but we’re kicking the reptiles out of this family gathering!

Time After Time

There’s more to time travel than hopping in a DeLorean, phone booth, or retro police box. In Reptilian Rising you’ll use time energy on time-twisting abilities to throw the Reptilians for a loop. Create clones of your troops, call in reinforcements (we’ve got Scarface on speed-dial), or create time-gates to rush your heroes across the map double time.

Do The Evolution

If you can turn the tide without causing a temporal paradox, you can replay missions to tackle bonus objectives, hop between time periods to uncover secrets, and more.

Ship's Cat - PS5 Review

Ship's Cat by developer and publisher Caddy Computing—PS5 review written by Richard with a copy provided by the publisher.

 
Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

---

Today we have a treat for all you folks. We get to talk about Ship’s Cat, a game about playing as a cat on a ship trying to get rid of the rodent infestation. This one is a bit of an experience, so buckle up and let’s get exploring.

The basic premise of Ship’s Cat is exactly what it says on the tin: you’re a cat on a ship. You’ve been brought on board to take care of the rodents, and for some reason all the crewmates treat you like a moderately functional human who can understand them and can freely open doors and interact with things. Luckily you actually can. You can bap the mice on the head, pick them up and throw them in the pool, listen to some vacationers talk about some really funny stuff, put out fires (literally and figuratively), do some golf, try on hats, get distracted by lasers, all great cat things! 

Alright, I have to admit that the game gets…silly, I suppose is the best way to describe it. If you’re anticipating a chill, relaxed game with not much going on, you’d be somewhat right for only the first half the game at best. There have only been three times in my life where I had to pause a game to just think for five minutes about what just happened, and one of those times was the ending sequence for Ship’s Cat. I won’t spoil it if you’re interested in discovering it, but hoh boy I was not expecting that.

In terms of gameplay, I’m going to have to say it’s a combination of slapping and throwing mice, trying to maneuver your cat to face the right way to jump up or down a ledge, and trying really hard not to hit a glitch. Good lord the amount of times I tried jumping on a shelf only to end up outside the ship and falling into the void below. Or getting stuck in the environment. Or using a special attack on the mice and being slingshot outside bounds, or dying and reloading only to have my cat constantly drift in one direction even if it’s through walls. Yeah, there’s a lot of issues that need some fixing here.

So, the main idea is that you explore the ship, taking out mice and dealing with problems as they occur. Some of this is hitting buttons, some is finding the path you need to take to proceed to the next area. All of it has something to do with the mice and their boss. Then it gets weird. Very weird. And suddenly you have special moves. And so do the mice. Most of the time though a good whack or two will solve your problems, unless your problems are figuring out what you’re supposed to do in areas where you aren’t given much direction. Pro tip, usually fighting isn’t actually the answer.

I’m really torn with Ship’s Cat, because on the one hand, it’s cooky and I loved it. On the other hand, it’s so full of glitches I can’t rightly call it a well put together game. The only saving grace is that the autosave makes plenty of backups when you need them. Unfortunately, loading a save may have the unfortunate side effect of making you drift in one direction constantly and through walls. Even while trying to open a door. Good news is, if you close the game and boot it back up it’ll be back to working normally. Also be wary of how you jump up to things, because sometimes you get pushed through the walls and then need to reload then as well.

On a more positive note, the game is weirdly fun despite all this, and the dialogue between passengers in the background can be pretty funny. Between a lady explaining what she uses her extra long nails for, and a guy in the kitchen inappropriately trying to cook eggs, it had some really hilarious dialogue. Just be prepared for everything voiced to be AI voicechat style, although I honestly found this to be more amusing than having actual real voices, since it's "ye olde" robotic voice that's clearly fake, and not any of the newer "sounds human" fake. Really this is something you play for the laughs, not something you're serious about, which we really need to see more of.

Overall, I have to say I really liked Ship's Cat, despite being riddled with issues. If we ignore the clipping through walls and objects, the occasional weird drift while trying to open a door after dying, and some weird attack animations slingshotting you into the nether, Ship's Cat is really enjoyable, and for a good price. Honestly, for a one man dev I think this is a really fun project and I gotta hand it to them for making such an entertaining piece. It might not be perfect, but it's fun to laugh about in a good way. Definitely take a look into this if you're interested in a short but weird and funny romp through a ship and some mutant mice.

Score: 7 / 10

Get Ready for Chickenauts Entering into Early Access on March 5th!

February 13th, 2026 - Warsaw Poland | Untold Tales, Sneaky Box and Kautki Cave have announced that Chickenauts - the indie roguelite shooter - is launching on Steam Early Access on Thursday, March 5th, 2026.

Chickenauts is a companion-based, action roguelike where you will blast your way through a massive, randomized alien mothership with an assortment of lethal, mutated chicken companions at your side.

Bringing A Mother Clucking A-Bomb to a Knife Fight

While teaching alien scum a lesson or two, you’ll free, arm, and mutate various chicken companions, equally hell-bent on revenge and destruction. Each chicken companion is inspired by pop-cultural icons and brings very different traits and abilities.

With multiple, stacking mutations to pick from along the way, you will create overpowered, game-breaking chickens of mass destruction on each run. 

Egg-citingly and Unpredictable Runs

Every run brings something different. Fast and varied runs deliver short but intense sessions made up of compact, randomized rooms that take under a minute to clear.

You’ll face multiple chicken abomination enemy types and bosses, ensuring no encounter is the same. Rooms, enemy spawns, plus all mutations, upgrades, and loot drops are all randomized, so each run is unpredictable and encourages experimentation.

But failure doesn’t mean total defeat. Collected eggs, weapons, and unlocked companions all carry over when you go again.

Game Features

• Short but intense rounds. Each room takes under a minute to clear.
• A collection of pop culture-inspired companions with different abilities
• Mutate companions with randomized, stacking abilities on each run.
• Multiple enemies and boss types
• Randomized rooms, enemy spawns, mutations, upgrades, and loot drops
• Make progress with each run.

No Sleep for Kaname Date-From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES - PS5 Review

No Sleep for Kaname Date-From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES by developer and publisher Spike Chunsoft Co. Ltd.—PS5 review written by Richard with a copy provided by the publisher.

 
Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

---

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Somnium Files title! Today we’ll be taking a look at No Sleep for Kaname Date – From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES! A sort of filler game in the series set between the first and second games chronologically. In this instalment Date gets to experience the wonders of escape games in addition to his detective and mental deep dive work!

If you’ve read the review for No Sleep on the Switch, the takeaway from the PS5 version is basically just a smoother running experience, and that’s about it. Less lag or slowdown in some scenes, and faster loading times. For those who haven’t read the Switch review, come join me as we take a look at this nifty spin-off type game that’s broaching into escape game!

It's important to note right off the bat that if you don’t know what happened in the first game in the series, you’re probably going to be pretty confused. You can get away without having played Nirvana Initiative, although some things may still confuse you. That being the case, I’m going to assume you have a bit of knowledge about the series, but may be a little rusty.

No Sleep for Kaname Date starts out with Iris, the local internet idol extraordinaire, being kidnapped and waking up in a spaceship! She is told by an alien that she must use her “third eye” to escape the confines of the ship. She’s allowed one helper she can call, so who else but Date and his sentient AI fake eyeball companion Aiba! Basically this means Iris will need to “play an escape game” to get out while Date can give running commentary or suggestions. The viewpoint will rotate between Date’s investigation and Iris’s escape attempts, having a mix of investigations, escape rooms, and mental diving into the Somnium.

Let’s take things one at a time. Since this game starts in an escape room, we’ll begin there. If you’ve played any of the Zero Escape games, you’ll have a decent idea how this works, but basically the escape sequences work in the same way that real life escape rooms do. You have a bunch of puzzles and objects and your goal is to use what you have available to escape the room you’re stuck in. You can interact with points of interest, pick up and use or combine items, and rotate and examine items to figure out what to do.

Good news for those that are having a tough time, if you set the game to anything other than hard for the escape sequences you will get plenty of hints. Unfortunately this also means that if you don’t need those hints but are checking something or seeing if there are other places to inspect, it feels like you’re being treated like you have no idea what you’re doing. It isn’t too bad for the most part, but can get pretty annoying. Thankfully there’s not usually a time limit in the escape games, so most of the time you’re free to think or reexamine at your leisure.

Good news for you puzzle fans, pretty much all of the answers to the puzzles or riddles are quite reasonable. There were only two I recall being a bit troubling, one was because I discovered an alternate way to solve the puzzle that didn’t give the actual answer but still was AN answer, and the other was a bit of suspect wording, but I managed to get through them, so it isn’t unsolvable. Each escape segment is themed, and as you progress through the game you will actually get multiple characters to swap between during the escape segments. You need to find ways to pass items back and forth, or solve puzzles to make something another character can interact with work. It’s actually pretty neat.

While outside the escape game, you will be either investigating the disappearance of Iris, or the appearance of a mysterious pod that may have been related to the incident or it could be completely unrelated. Either way, it’s up to you to investigate! Go places, talk to people, examine things, and sometimes get into a quick-time event. It’s detective Date’s time to shine! An interesting thing about No Sleep for Kaname Date is that there are a ton of hidden alternate endings. Like, there are at least three in the first investigation sequence you do alone, and most of them are pretty funny.

Once you’ve completed your prodding at possible leads, you can head back to ABYSS, where Kaname Date can delve into the subconscious mind of a suspect, and hope to gain insight from their dream realm, or somnium as it were. In the somnium you control Aiba as she investigates the mental world. Things are usually weird here, and you basically play a guessing or association game where you can interact or examine items, and sometimes do weird things with them. Sometimes those weird things are actually what you’re supposed to do too. In the somnium you have a time limit, and actions and walking decrease your time. After 6 minutes are up, you’re forcibly ejected and have to restart either from a checkpoint or from the beginning.

A neat thing about the somniums is that they have a lot of really funny and weird interactions. Also, there are giant eyeballs you can collect that give points towards bonus content you can unlock in-game. If you collect them all you also get some concept art. Once you’ve completed a somnium once you can return to it with infinite time so you can explore at your leisure. The giant eyeballs are still here and can be collected, but the clear bonus for more than a second remaining won’t be available if you go infinite time. There are multiple difficulties for the somniums, mostly adjusting how much time gets used on actions.

I have to say I was rather a fan of No Sleep for Kaname Date. It’s certainly shorter than other titles, and the plot is very “filler episode” like, but I thought it was pretty interesting, and I found the escape additions a fun time. The graphics and soundtrack should be just what you expect from previous games, with decent 3D models for characters and interesting environments coupled with a suitable soundtrack and solid voice acting. I also like how each game has it’s own dance number.

While No Sleep for Kaname Date – From AI the Somnium Files probably isn’t winning too many awards, it’s definitely a nice filler between main title entries. The puzzles are good, the escape rooms are well put together, and the somniums are pretty entertaining. The story is also really interesting once you really get into it, but might take awhile to really take hold for some people. It is a little on the shorter side, but I certainly enjoyed my time with it. The PS5 port does wonders for some choppy load times and lag I experienced on the switch, so if you’re considering playing this title after one of the previous two, you won’t go wrong with the PS5 port here.

Score: 8.5 / 10

Team Vultures and Firesquid Games Release Demo of Turn-Based Survival Horror Game!

February 12, 2026 | Independent developer Team Vultures and publisher Firesquid Games are proud to announce that their tactical turn-based survival horror Vultures - Scavengers of Death, releases its demo on Steam today at 9am PT. As an operative of the VULTURES mercenary unit, you will scavenge the infested metropolis for materials and information that could cure the infection plaguing the world.

The game puts you in the shoes of two agents, each with their own combat styles and customize their load out before entering a mission. Once inside, choose your tactics carefully. You may not want to engage in every battle, sneaking can be a viable option but when you do engage, you must rely on your tactical training in turn-based combat. Aim for vital spots or disable opponents to slow them down. Use any method to get out alive with the target.

Content of the Demo

The demo will give access to the very first mission of the game which takes place in a Police Station. The playable character is Leopoldo, 3 different weapons will be available in this mission (combat knife, pistol, shotgun). The average Playtime when you are new to the game is roughly ~45 minutes to play the whole mission.

Leopoldo is on a mission to investigate the last location where Thiago Schultz, a scientist who worked for Eugenesys Corporation, sought refuge one day before the incident (outbreak). He must investigate the station for any records or evidence Thiago may have left behind. This could be the first lead toward understanding what really happened…

Scavenge a Ruined City

The city is full of information left behind after the infection. Piece together a path to the cure by extracting relics, notes and items from various locations, each with their own obstacles. Survive along the way by scavenging for any tools that can aid you, keys to unlock your way and new weapons to expand your skills.

Classic Survival Horror

Inspired by some of the most foundational Survival Horror franchises like Resident Evil; Vultures embraces a retro PS1 aesthetic and mechanics that lead to a tense, horror filled exploration. Isolated as a single agent in the dark halls of the city, every choice could lead to a successful mission or death.

Salento Valley - Ground Zero

A once bustling metropolis, Salento Valley now lies as a desolate battleground in the wake of a bio-hazard disaster. As a VULTURES operative, you will face increasingly challenging odds as you make your way through the city's ruins. Horrifying mutants and abominations lay in wait for fresh blood like you.

New Roguelike Deckbuilder Puts You on the Road with a Startup Rock Band
