I would LOVE to be reviewing the game Necrophosis here, unfortunately my key seems to have a severe issue and has not yet been rectified. This game looks amazing though. And the description is why I wanted to share it.
A MA·CA·BRE WORLD Billions of years after the universe met its demise, you awaken in a realm where death reigns supreme but even death may die. Necrophosis, the curse that plagues this world, inflicts decay upon everything it touches. Here, amidst a landscape crafted with meticulous care, dread and decay permeate every corner. The characters of this world, infected by the curse, embody the very essence of decay.
With every turn you take and every sigh that escapes your lips, you bear witness to the relentless touch of decay. Necrophosis weaves its grim tapestry, enveloping you in a haunting journey through a macabre world where death is not an end, but a pervasive reality.
I really wish I could tell you more, but I can’t seem to play. Maybe eventually I shall play on my own budget and time, but for now. Please check it out yourself.

Dave’s adventure continues, this time in the heart of the Jungle
SEOUL – June 18, 2026 — It’s time to trade the scuba gear for khakis. Dave is heading somewhere new! Mintrocket’s beloved hybrid adventure DAVE THE DIVER today launches its all-new ‘In the Jungle’ DLC, now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch/Switch 2.
The ‘In the Jungle’ expansion sees Dave venture into all-new territory, as he embraces new freshwater responsibilities, meets the locals, helps familiar friends, and explores unfamiliar waters. Beneath the jungle lake awaits a brand-new ecosystem to explore, along with new missions and discoveries. Even Chef Bancho switches things up, trading in raw seafood dishes for grilled freshwater delicacies in the new restaurant, Bancho Grill.
To celebrate the launch, Mintrocket has released a full-length live-action short film based on the events of ‘In the Jungle.’ The film has been made in collaboration with The Asylum (creators of Sharknado, Meth Gator). View the full film below:
(PCS Note: This is not the short from before, that it turns out was a trailer itself, this an 11 minute full blast movie)
The ‘In the Jungle’ expansion launches with around 10 hours of new story and content, introducing surprising new encounters and mechanics that branch boldly away from the base game and previous DLCs.
“This expansion has been a long time in the making, and our team is excited to welcome our players back into the world, this time with a freshwater twist,” said Jaeho Hwang, Head of Studio and Game Director, Mintrocket. “The jungle gave us so much creative room to play with, and we can’t wait for players to discover everything we’ve hidden in there.”
Key Features include:
A Whole New Environment: Encounter unfamiliar creatures, discover exotic new ingredients, and uncover the hidden dangers lurking within an ancient underwater civilization beneath the jungle lake.
New Restaurant, Same Standards: Welcome to Bancho Grill, where bold jungle flavors meet Bancho’s uncompromising culinary craft. Build relationships with the villagers and earn yourself a loyal new clientele.
A Warm Village Welcome: Lend a hand to the locals and earn their trust. Some villagers may be wary of outsiders at first, but as Dave knows well, a thoughtful gift or a great meal can open just about any door.
More Than Meets the Eye: The jungle holds more than lakes and villages. From mysterious ancient temples to eerie, uncharted forests, Dave and his crew will discover just how deep the unknown goes.
Note: ‘In the Jungle’ content is accessible after completing the DAVE THE DIVER base game. However, players will have an option to start straight from the ‘In the Jungle’ DLC without clearing the base game.
DAVE THE DIVER Physical Editions
From Silver Lining Direct, two physical editions for DAVE THE DIVER on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 are available to order, with delivery expected later this year.
The DAVE THE DIVER Complete Edition includes all DLC released (including In the Jungle DLC) on one disc/cartridge, and superfans can grab the DAVE THE DIVER Collector’s Edition, which is packed to the gills with exclusive treasures and trinkets.
The Collector’s Edition includes the full boxed game and all DLC installments, as well as:

Dolphin Pendant Necklace
2 Marinca Cards
Poster
4 Postcards
Both editions are available to pre-order via Silver Lining Direct and will be available worldwide via your local retailer.

Montreal, June 15th, 2026 – Panache Digital Games and acclaimed game creator Patrice Désilets have released the first episode of Behind the Shadows, a new Developer Diary series dedicated to the making of 1666: Amsterdam.
Titled “The Vision: The Real City That Became a Myth” this inaugural episode takes viewers behind the creative vision of the game, exploring how the team transformed the real streets of Amsterdam into a world shaped by mystery, superstition, and hidden truths.
The diary reveals how the entire studio travelled to Amsterdam in 2024 to study the city’s streets, canals, architecture, sounds, and atmosphere firsthand. Rather than relying solely on historical references, the team immersed themselves in the city’s environment to better understand its scale, rhythm, and character.
Viewers will also learn more about the game’s exploration systems, including the ability to enter houses, traverse rooftops, and navigate the city alongside a feline companion, creating multiple opportunities for discovery and player choice.
Filmed at the historic Château Ramezay in Old Montreal, the first Developer Diary marks the beginning of a new series that will provide regular insights into the development of 1666: Amsterdam.
Key Quotes
“Inviting the studio to Amsterdam was, at its core, about sharing something. We gathered everyone and said: come into your game. Come experience it the way I did.” Patrice Désilets, Co-Founder & Creative Director
“Looking at references online is one thing. Being there in person, seeing the proportions, feeling the textures and atmosphere, that’s something entirely different.” Jean-François Boivin, Co-Founder & Executive Producer
“The player can explore every available house in the neighbourhood, enter through a window with their cat, move across rooftops, and discover entirely different opportunities depending on how they choose to approach the city.” Maxime Fortin, Senior Level Designer
1666: Amsterdam is set to launch in Early Access on PC in 2026, with console versions planned for a later date. Players eager to follow this journey can now wishlist the game on Steam and the Epic Games Store. For more information about Panache Digital Games please visit the official website here.

I find myself falling into strange rabbit holes where I have a question and then while researching the answer I get more questions and they lead me to finding other things. These rabbit holes are fascinating and I will now take you on a few.
My love for Stanley Simmons had me wondering about other groups like them, which brought me to VENDED featuring the sons of Skipknot’s Corey and Clown.
The next two are rabbit holes from stuff shown in my friend JBizzleBeard’s Twitch show. They are legit rabbit holes cause they came from something totally different then where the thread began.. like completely somewhere else, but also are logical threads if I shared them direct.
Muff Whiskey is a 5 part blend of Irish Malt and Grain Whiskey’s, each one bringing an individual element. These combine to give multiple layers of flavour on the nose, middle-palate and end of the tasting experience.
1. Irish triple distilled grain whiskey in a virgin cask will get a very dark colour from the heavy char toasting and give a sweet vanilla note.
2. Irish triple distilled grain whiskey matured in ex- -American bourbon casks, adds a light and sweet note to the mix.
3. Sherry matured triple distilled malt whiskey which gives body to the drink.
4. Double distilled Irish malt whiskey which provides a fruity-ester presence.
5. Peated triple distilled malt whiskey is again matured in ex-American bourbon casks and brings a smoky flavour and long rounded finish.
You ever seen the movie LIFEFORCE? It’s not just of note cause of the well lit nudity though. It’s a Tobe Hooper film, written by Dan O’Bannon based on a Colin Wilson book that is considered a horrible film, but when looked at through open eyes is a truly something special in its existence. You can see it on Tubi (or MGM+), there’s also a Scream Factory 4K and an even better OOP so slightly expensive Arrow Video UK 4K. I’m just gonna link the TUBI for you. https://tubitv.com/movies/302705/lifeforce
What was the rabbit hole for the above? Well, it started from researching long production scrolls at the start of films which lead to this.
Which then itself was rabbit hole. When I have more… I’ll share more.

Los Angeles, CA (June 11, 2026) – Why say goodbye? Death is only a temporary glitch in the eerily plausible future of FOREVR! Top Shelf is selling the afterlife in FOREVR, the forthcoming original graphic novel from award-winning creator Brian “Box” Brown (Andre the Giant: Life and Legend, Is This Guy for Real?The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman), releasing September 8, 2026. From “Hologram Tupac” to “AI Stan Lee,” real-world tech companies continue to try to artificially resurrect the dead, while generative AI continues to be hotly debated. FOREVR plunges straight into the heart of these ethical controversies and asks the question, do we have the right to rest in peace.
“FOREVR started as predictive fiction but before the book even came out someone had put together a similar product for sale in 2025,” says creator Brian “Box” Brown. “It’s about a typical American family being put under the control of Big Tech, with or without their permission. One family member watches as another is brainwashed but they’re powerless to help them. I think it’s a situation a lot of families can relate to.”
About the Book Brenda’s mom is dying—but not for long. Like millions of others, she’s uploaded her consciousness to the groundbreaking new app Forevr, which allows the surviving family members to chat with her on their screens for a very reasonable monthly fee. Now Brenda’s dad doesn’t have to be alone…while Brenda and her girlfriend focus on building their careers as wilderness survival influencers. But when this very modern family sets out on a camping trip, their tensions and tech addictions build to an explosive climax whose consequences may last…forever.FOREVR will be available as a full-color, soft-cover (ISBN: 978-1-60309-600-3) wherever books are sold on September 8, 2026 for a list price of $19.99. For more information, please visit theTop Shelf website.

Lots was announced at Summer Games Fest, Day of the Devs, PC Gaming Show, IGN Live, Xbox Showcase, Wholesome Direct, and even today at Nintendo Direct that was big for gaming as a whole. Here’s what personally caught my attention and which I also played the demos of some and got more excited over.
A free playable prologue is available now on Steam and Epic Games Store. This standalone narrative teaser, lasting approximately 30 minutes, introduces the world, characters, and core mystery of 1666: Amsterdam.
The full game is set to launch in Early Access on PC in 2026, with console versions planned for a later date. Store pages for both the prologue and the full game are now live.
What will unfold in Amsterdam did not begin there. It was set in motion long before the first canal was dug, before the first stone was named.
In the year 1333, the contracts were sealed. And ever since, the city has lain under their influence.
The Collector now stands invested. As the cycle reaches its end, another begins.
A city built on wealth, power, and sheer will, yet shaped by forces it did not forge.
Entities known as the Originals have lived among its people for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed.
Noa Brooklyn was born the Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose. Aaron, drawn from 1999, now sees the world through the eyes of a cat.
This is where the cycle begins.
Before the first Esbat. Before the Collector realizes what awaits her.
The Prologue of 1666: Amsterdam offers a first glimpse into a world shaped by centuries of hidden influence. Step into Noa’s Commencement as she takes on the mantle of the Collector, and begins to understand the role she was born to fulfill.
A choice must be made. A companion will walk beside her.
This is only the beginning.
Key Features
Three timelines, one mystery
Glimpse a story unfolding across 1666, 1999, and the present day, each era revealing fragments of a larger truth.
Choose your companion
A decision must be made early. Choose the one who will walk beside you, bound to your path.
Step into Noa’s Commencement
Take on the mantle of the Collector and discover the role you were meant to fulfill.
The world behind the world
Uncover the foundations of a universe shaped by centuries of unseen influence, where nothing is quite what it seems.
A Word from Patrice Désilets
“It’s been a long time coming, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team of nearly 70 talented developers in Montreal. For the past six years, we’ve focused on one thing above all else: the game itself. No fake footage, no vertical slices, just a playable experience evolving build after build, day after day.
Today, we’re finally ready to invite players into that process. The free prologue available now on Steam and Epic Games Store is only a small taste of what’s to come, an amuse-bouche before a nine-course dinner, an introduction to the world, its characters, and its different time periods. We hope players will enjoy discovering it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it. Merci and Panache Coliss!”
4 JUNE 2025 – Belgian indie developer Business Goose Studios has been turning the key on their music box for weeks now and is finally ready to pop it open. Swan Song is out now on Steam.
Swan Song is priced at $7.99 (regional pricing may vary) with a 20% launch discount for its first two weeks.
Swan Song – Launch Trailer:
Swan Song is a calming puzzle game set inside a mysterious music box, where you place notes on a scale to compose melodies that guide a little swan safely back to its nest. With warm visuals and a soothing soundtrack by acclaimed composer Jamal Green (known for TOEM), Swan Song blends clever puzzle design with emotional storytelling.
At its heart, Swan Song is grounded in reality. The story is inspired by a true personal family experience from one of the developers at Business Goose Studios. While deeply personal, the narrative has been carefully crafted to resonate with everyone who has gone through similar experiences. This is not just one person’s story, but a shared one.
Quotes from the Press & Creators
Here is what some early reviews have to say:
“Storytelling in puzzle games can often feel hollow and an unnecessary bolt-on, but in Swan Song it feels an essential part of the experience.” – Gamer Social Club
“A clever and emotionally sincere puzzle game with gorgeous clockwork presentation and inventive musical mechanics.” – Jump Dash Roll
“Swan Song contains interesting brain-teasers wrapped in a cozy atmosphere and a surprisingly touching story of a family dealing with a tragedy that will feel all too real for many.” – Bonus Action
“Swan Song captures your attention from its opening moments and never lets go. Every element works in harmony to create an emotional, rewarding, and remarkable experience.” – GamesHedge
“Swan Song is that lovely type of indie that is so specific in scope and ambition that all its parts slot neatly together (not unlike a well-made music box).” – CheckpointGaming
“I never thought I’d be wiping tears from my eyes while solving puzzles, but here we are… what a beautiful journey!” – StormieDae
