Unearth The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time on Steam May 28th

The greatest game that never was vanished for decades. Now, in 2026, it’s reemerged in an all new form

Sacramento, California, March 3rd, 2026 – Coin Drop Games and Glootschke Games are launching their original meta puzzle game, The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time, on Steam May 28th. Deduce puzzles and solve secrets behind this greatest game that never was!

Watch the The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time trailer

The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time (TRotEotGRPGoAT for short) is a deduction Puzzle game set in the last hour of a lost non-existent 90s JRPG complete with original manual, director’s commentary, and clips of an unreleased amateur documentary, all used to uncover the secret at the heart of it all: “What is the Greatest RPG of All Time?”Players start at level 99, seeing the conclusion to story arcs they were never present for, heroic sacrifices by side characters they never knew existed, all while uncovering the meta-narrative of why they’ve never heard of this game, why they can only play the last hour, and why it’s being remade in the first place.

“The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time isn’t a remake and is barely an RPG,” said Lead Designer Lucas Immanuel. “Instead, it’s a deeply layered narrative-heavy puzzle game. It’s less Final Fantasy and more ‘Tunic meets Inscryption’, but also features the greatest RPG of all time – albeit only the ending.”

Features:

A Fully featured RPG Battle SystemComplex deduction puzzlesBeautiful 3D/pixel hybrid visualsFull-motion videoA mystery at its core

What critics are saying:

“I love the audacity of the project” – Stephen Totilo of Game File

“brazen nose-hooker of a head turner of a game that does exist” – Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun

“Eventually, I will remember the… title for this game” – Jill Grodt of The Indie Informer

New footage highlights school systems, open-world exploration, early 2000s rebellion, and its launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later this year

April 13, 2026 – Cut class. Start trouble. Make a name for yourself.

Alongside new friends Kale and Axel, Sam sets out to “rock the school,” diving headfirst into story-driven missions, social drama, and plenty of questionable decisions.

The new gameplay trailer highlights the fully realized school system, featuring classes like English, Math, Geography, German, and Music—if you decide to show up, that is. Skip class, stir up trouble, or play it smart. The choice is yours.

Beyond the classroom, players can explore a fully open world spanning the school campus, town center, surrounding neighborhoods, and countryside. Whether you’re hustling for cash or just trying not to get caught, Agefield is yours to raise a little hell in. Add an A+ to that report card as publisher Perp Games is bringing Agefield High: Rock the School to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later this year. Wishlist now and get ready to make your mark before the final bell rings.

Prepare to don the crown in Titanium Court on April 23


The IGF award-winning, genre-blending strategy game from AP Thomson is finally opening to the public

Download the trailer MP4
Fellow Traveller and developer AP Thomson have confirmed that Titanium Court will launch on April 23, 2026, arriving on PC via Steam. This is due to no fault of their own.

Up until recently, everything was proceeding normally. Schedules were aligned, announcements were drafted, baseballs were being pitched, and then without consulting anyone, the game set a release date and moved forward with it. Attempts to intervene have been unsuccessful.
After taking a lovely walk, you are shuffled into and/or placed in charge of a Court (congrats/so sorry) that operates according to its own internal logic:terrain bends to your willyour resources arrive in bursts of surprising competenceyour carefully constructed plans are immediately stress-tested
You will encounter a range of characters during your time in the Court. They will communicate freely, but rarely explain literally anything. And why should they? This is all completely normal.Before its official arrival Titanium Court was already causing problems, specifically by winning both the IGF Excellence in Design and Seamus McNally Grand Prize awards. This has, assumedly, only encouraged it.

At its core, Titanium Court is a strategy game …sort of. Beyond that, definitions become less reliable. We have been advised not to over-explain, regardless. Not because there isn’t more to say, but because the experience itself is doing most of the work, and also because continued attempts have produced minor but noticeable spatial inconsistencies in the immediate area.
AP refuses to tell us more anyway, and we legally cannot make him.Titanium Court launches April 23, 2026 on PC via Steam. For more information on Titanium Court, check out the game on Steam, the game’s press kit, and follow Fellow Traveller on BlueskyTikTokInstagramThreads, or join the official Fellow Traveller Discord.

About AP Thomson
AP Thomson spent most of seventh grade math class making games on a TI-83 Plus graphing calculator. This activity didn’t escape the notice of his teacher and a stern lecture was subsequently delivered by his mother. Now AP Thomson spends his days making games on an Apple M4 Pro Mac Mini, an experience much improved over the calculator both because he gets to use a keyboard and because there aren’t any math teachers around to snitch on him. Evidence of his crimes can be found in several projects, including: BeglitchedSwap SwordFortune-499Consume Me, and most recently Titanium Court.

They aren’t Monkeys*

(*it’s a Monkee’s reference, last train to clarksville)

A pinch of Poirot and Hastings, a dash of Sherlock and Watson, a dollop of Blanc, a smattering of Phoenix Wright, a bit of Professor Layton, throw it in a blender with the world of Chicken Police, then fry it and dip it in Hammet, Chandler, Simenon and sprinkle with adorable illustrative work and you sort of get the recipe for Moses & Plato: Last Train to Clawville.

A visual novel with gameplay mechanics, one of the greatest stregnghts are the voice acting, which happen to be performing great scripting. The characters are all so interesting and I feel upon first meeting of each one you get a great grasp of who they are and desire to know more.

I haven’t gotten to the end, but that is because I like to enjoy things like this in bits and pieces. Savor the art and just let it sit with me. Taking months to finish something might only be 6-12 hours.

That image above is basically me while watching. Deeply intriguing, pulled in and proudly inquisitive, confused, questioning and ready for anything.

Moses & Plato: Last Train to Clawville releases April 14, 2026 on Steam for 19.99 USD.

Neolithic Dawn (unfortunate) Review

[disclaimer: this is the first VR game I have recieved for review, but not the first VR game I have played, having owned a Metaquest for a few months and purchased games and experienced what is good and what is bad. Unfortunately, the following review will be mostly bad]

I was highly excited for Neolithic Dawn and I am extremely fortunate that I waited and maybe I should have waited longer, because of the many VR games I have played, this had some of the worst responsive controls I have ever experienced… not just in VR though, but as a whole. Before even getting into poor hit boxes, a tutorial that does not clearly explain what buttons does what, and buttons not doing what they’re supposed to do… your character doesn’t seem to understand how to properly hold an axe, or a spear, picking it up in the most akward manner, forcing you to reintegrate as you’re being attacked. Chopping or stabbing doesn’t respond well either though, it’s just clunky and doesn’t feel natural or right.

Which is mostly the main problem, the controls. The game also is glitchy though, a baby got stuck in the air instead of going down the river in a boat, which I’m pretty sure broke the game and I was not replaying to find out, as the tutorial itself was irresponsive and took forever to get through.

The graphics outside of the glitches are fine though, not fantastic, but a nice art style and design with a clever character creator which in a first person VR game seems fairly pointless. My game seemed to break as I said, so I don’t know if the whole geneational thing is cool or not. A full glitch out is not promising, it ruins the immersion, and the fun. Bugs don’t always ruin fun, but in this case, they truly did.

I want to reccomend this game, I usually even when having done a bad review said that your experience might be different, that the style wasn’t for me… but that isn’t the case here. I want to play this game. I like the way it looks. I like the idea. I like the setting. I even like the actual gameplay conceptually, but the controls, the glitches and the bugs? I can’t even suggest trying it as that would be unfair.

But hey, take a look yourself, try to kill that Dire Wolf with a spear that misses even when the control says you aimed perfectly. Try to not step in that fire. Try not to have that blade disappear everytime you pick it up. Try to do something and then have it do something else. Go ahead, be a cave man.

A wacky farm can live in your computer

Cozy Sanctuary is kind of hard to explain. It’s an idle clicker that can run in the background and you can visit it at your leisure as you type articles, do research, chat with friends, etc. Although you do need to visit it to see it grow before you earn enough money to have it start running on its own like a true idler. I’ve dropped some images to give you an idea, but know this is a zen game while also something you can’t just open and leave to run. At least not till you’ve clicked, fed, cleaned and made enough points to have things running on their own.

In the couple hours I played I unlocked some animals, added a bench and a feeder. There’s a scratcher, an auto poop cleaner, tons of animals, lots of food and tons of decorations.

Cozy Sanctuary is scheduled to release on April 16, 2026.
