IsoMetro
The overall aesthetic of IsoMetro™ is a nod to city builder games from decades ago. Building on the base mechanics introduced by those original pioneers, IsoMetro™ leverages the vastly superior processing capabilities of today’s “low end” hardware, to power a surprisingly nuanced and authentic economic simulation. Despite the nostalgic 90’s visual aesthetic, it’s not as simple as “big city, big buildings” — economic effects are specific to every individual tile, encouraging you to think carefully about transit options and zoning policy if you want to see dense, vibrant city centers take shape. Playing as the government, you can use your treasury funds to build public infrastructure such as utility facilities, transit networks, and civic service buildings. Meanwhile, buildings such as houses, shops, and factories will only be built in residential, commercial, and industrial zones respectively by the citizens themselves if you’ve met all their requirements. If your citizens can’t get where they need to go, face utility shortages, are exposed to unacceptable levels of pollution, or are under-served in other ways, your infrastructure investments will go to waste. Meanwhile, a well-planned city will see healthy economic growth, and develop a positive cash flow from its tax base that can be used to invest in further expansion. While building cities in IsoMetro™ is intended to be a comfortable, low-stress experience, the simulation also invites you to consider how the simplified concepts in the game world apply to the world we live in. Experiment with different transit options and zoning strategies to determine which approaches work better than others. Are roads and parking lots the way to go? Can you get away with not building even a single tile of road at all? Is a dense city core more profitable or is it better to have a metro area that sprawls far and wide? IsoMetro™ brings you a balanced experience — it can be thought-provoking if you choose to look closely at how your city works, but is also meant to be a satisfying and relaxing experience if you just want to watch your city evolve while you zone out to the varied music styles comprising the high-quality, 90-minute soundtrack.

But be wary, stronger guns have more complex active reloads, and God doesn’t take too kindly to black magic. Venison County is a game about calculated risk, and the skill it takes to walk the wire of sin and redemption.

S7 Cyberpunk

Seneca 7: A Cyberpunk Odyssey, S7 Tactics, Settlement Wars, Proof of Concept, People & Places, Origin Stories, Auto-Pilot
S7 Cyberpunk is a Silly Sci-Fi Fantasy universe told through a connected ecosystem of games and stories that explore humanity’s attempt to colonize the mysterious Planet 7. Rather than developing a single game in isolation, the universe unfolds through multiple projects that each explore a different part of the story and gameplay systems. The animated film Auto-Pilot chronicles the settlers’ journey from Earth, the graphic novel Proof of Concept captures the chaotic moment of their arrival, the tabletop RPG People & Places explores the first year of survival on the planet, and strategy titles like Settlement Wars and S7 Tactics experiment with larger conflicts and combat systems. All of these experiences build toward the flagship couch-co-op action RPG trilogy, Seneca 7: A Cyberpunk Odyssey, where the fate of the settlers and Planet 7 will ultimately unfold. S7 Cyberpunk: The Early Access Era Universe Development Bio The Early Access Era is the experimental development phase of the S7 Cyberpunk universe. Instead of building a single game behind closed doors, the studio is creating a series of interconnected projects — including graphic novels, tabletop games, card games, and smaller video game experiences — that allow the community to participate in the evolution of the world. Each release acts as both a story chapter and a design laboratory where mechanics, characters, and systems are refined before appearing in the final Seneca 7 trilogy. The Early Access Era transforms development into a shared journey between creators and players. Auto-Pilot Animated prelude (Exodus from Earth space journey) Proof of Concept Graphic novel prologue (arrival on Planet 7) People & Places TTRPG System (exploring the first year of settlement) Settlement Wars Collectible Card Game (Faction conflict and colony politics) Origin Stories Board Game Adventure and PvP (Hero backstories through board games) S7 Tactics Mobile Videogame (Combat simulation and design sandbox) Seneca 7: A Cyberpunk Odyssey Videogame (The flagship RPG trilogy) S7 Cyberpunk: Auto-Pilot Anime Film Bio S7 Cyberpunk: Auto-Pilot is an animated sci-fi adventure that tells the story of humanity’s final journey from Earth to Planet 7. As the settlers leave their dying home world behind, the voyage through space becomes anything but smooth. Strange events, unexpected discoveries, and the unpredictable personalities aboard the ship begin to reshape the mission long before the settlers ever reach their destination. Serving as the narrative bridge between Earth and the new frontier, Auto-Pilot explores the tone, music, and cinematic style that will define the future of the S7 Cyberpunk universe while establishing the characters and tensions that lead directly into the events of Proof of Concept. S7 Cyberpunk: Proof of Concept Graphic Novel Bio S7 Cyberpunk: Proof of Concept is the first graphic novel set in the S7 Cyberpunk universe, chronicling the chaotic moment humanity first arrives on Planet 7. What should have been a carefully planned colonization mission quickly spirals into comedy and catastrophe as Leon Muskratt and the first settlers attempt to survive their landing protocols. Serving as the narrative prologue to the larger S7 Cyberpunk saga, the graphic novel introduces the characters, tone, and strange world that will define the expanding universe across games, stories, and tabletop adventures. S7 Cyberpunk: People & Places Tabletop RPG Bio S7 Cyberpunk: People & Places is the tabletop role-playing game that forms the foundation of the S7 Cyberpunk universe. Built on an original RPG system designed by creator John Posey III, the game invites players to explore the first year of humanity’s settlement on Planet 7. Players create characters, form adventuring parties, and navigate the strange environments, political conflicts, and unexpected dangers of a brand-new world. The first campaigns begin immediately after the events of the Proof of Concept graphic novel, allowi…

A game that allows you to choose the order that you discover your cards, Leaving less to chance and more towards strategy. 1 champion + 4 loadout cards creates your entire deck!

TurtleDev Studios

The Paradell: Mirror Magick
The Paradell: Mirror Magick is a stylized fantasy hybrid that blends the rewarding progression of a farming sim with the danger and replayability of an action roguelike. Players are dropped into the Forgotten Frontier, a world of monsters, magical cards, and escalating threats, with one clear objective: survive for seven days and escape. Between dangerous expeditions, players return to their homestead in the Peaceful Prairie to grow crops, tend animals, and strengthen their homestead. This creates a connected gameplay loop where progress at home prepares players for the next adventure, and success in the Frontier unlocks new possibilities back in the Prairie. In the Forgotten Frontier, players battle monsters to earn experience and gold, then use those rewards to strengthen their hero and shape the course of each run. Magical card draws from Paradell’s Tarot deck grant new spells, companions, and abilities, allowing players to adapt their build as each attempt unfolds. As the days progress, the pressure rises, culminating in powerful boss encounters at midnight that test both preparation and skill. The result is a fast-paced, repeatable adventure structure driven by risk, adaptation, and steady progression. The Peaceful Prairie gives players a contrasting but equally important space to recover and invest in long-term growth. Farming, tending animals, and developing the homestead are not separate from the action, but part of the same larger system. What players cultivate and build between runs directly supports their ability to push further into the Frontier, while the rewards earned from surviving its dangers expand what can be achieved back home. By tying together homestead building, run-based combat, magical card drafting, and long-term progression, The Paradell: Mirror Magick offers a distinct rhythm of comfort, danger, and reward. It is designed to let players define their own balance between careful preparation and daring adventure, while always moving toward the larger goal of surviving the Frontier and making it home.

Upsetter Studios

Wild Americas
Wild Americas is a single-player action-adventure mining sandbox set on the remote, storm-battered Mountain Island, USA. As a rookie GeoCorp geologist, you’re dropped onto a forgotten rock with nothing but a GPR scanner, a pickaxe, and a dream of striking it rich. Chisel through a fully destructible world of cliffs, caves, and collapsing tunnels. Scan for rare minerals, craft ever-more-powerful explosives, and blast your way deeper into the earth. Every swing and detonation reshapes the island forever—open new paths, trigger cave-ins, or accidentally unearth something you probably shouldn’t. Beneath the surface lies a darker story: cryptic computer logs, abandoned research labs, ancient artifacts, and the lingering scars of a catastrophic natural gas disaster from decades ago. As you catalog resources and chase bigger payloads, you slowly piece together a conspiracy that GeoCorp would rather keep buried. Atmospheric, rewarding, and relentlessly curious, Wild Americas blends satisfying destruction, thoughtful resource management, and a slow-burn mystery that rewards exploration at your own pace. Currently in 1.0 on Steam and Epic Games Store — completely free to play.
