Sequel to the Color-Based Puzzle Shooter
Will Land on PC and Consoles 
to Celebrate the 10 Years Anniversary of the Franchise!

Las Vegas, NV – November 13, 2025 – Pixel Maniacs™ and PM Studios™ are thrilled to announce the official global launch date for its vibrant and challenging puzzle-shooter,ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard. The game will be released across all major platforms – PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store) digitally, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Nintendo Switch™2 both digitally and in retail on February 12^th 2026. Pre-order are now open for the retail versions.

ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard expands upon the award-winning mechanics of its original hit title, challenging players to navigate complex, achromatic set of rooms & corridors using the signature ChromaGun to shoot and mix primary colors. These colors manipulate the environment, activate doors, and neutralize colorful enemy drones. The sequel introduces smarter puzzles, advanced color physics, new hazardous environmental elements, and a gripping new narrative that delves into the origins of the Chroma Technology and the mysterious corporation behind it. Players will face their toughest color-mixing challenges yet in the most mind bending 3D environment.

“We’ve taken everything the fans loved about the original – the witty dialogue, the fiendishly clever puzzles, and the saturated aesthetic – and dialed it up to 11,” said Benjamin Lochmann, Founder and CEO of Pixel Maniacs. “Dye Hard is bigger, bolder, and requires a level of color coordination and spatial reasoning that will test even the most seasoned puzzle enthusiasts. The team is eager to watch the most insane full game speedruns from the community!”

“ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard expands the creative spectrum of our portfolio with a bold, brainy experience that stands apart from anything else we’ve launched.” states Michael Yum, CEO of PM Studios. “We’re proud to offer a retail edition for a game this inventive – it’s something every fan of clever design should want to have as part of their physical collection.”

About ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard

ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard is a first person puzzle shooter about colors. Players use the titular ChromaGun to paint walls and droids, and droids are magnetically attracted to walls of the same color. Between deadly floor tiles, angry droids, and subtractive color-mixing, players get to solve tricky logic puzzles wrapped in a comedic story about friendship, redemption, and the multiverse.

Game features

• A one-of-a-kind tool – The ChromaGun: Wield the titular “ChromaGun,” a versatile paint-gun used to shoot primary colors onto surfaces and objects, mixing them to manipulate the environment.
• Magnetoid Chromatism: Master the key mechanic of “Magnetoid Chromatism” – a proprietary concept where Droids and other objects are magnetically attracted to walls of the same color.
• Multiverse Puzzles: Travel through time and space across different dimensions and parallel universes, each introducing new physics and increasingly complex mechanics.
• State of the art accessibility: Pixel Maniacs developed a unique accessibility game mode overlaying symbols on colored objects to help color blind players to enjoy the game too! With this well thought feature, ChromaGun 2 Dye Hard won the Horizon Award for Technical Innovation at GG Bavaria 2025!   

We post the press release and trailer below with interest and intrigue but also trepidation, as the game truly looks far from finished, shows only mouse and keyboard controls and looks like if someone wanted to remake BULLY but didn’t really have the skills so had to build upon existing engines made for wannabe game devs, but I have hope yet and want to one day say this game is too fun to ignore.

A new look at the nostalgic, rule-breaking coming-of-age adventure from Refugium Games.

[November 10, 2025] – Refugium Games has unveiled a brand-new story trailer for Agefield High: Rock the School, offering a deeper dive into the game’s coming-of-age narrative and rebellious teenage spirit that is inspired by the raunchy teen comedies of the era.

Set in the year 2002, Agefield High: Rock the School follows Sam Tatum, the new kid in town, and his two friends as they refuse to graduate as nobodies. With graduation on the horizon and the weight of expectations closing in, they decide to flip the script — throwing caution (and every school rule) to the wind in a final bid to leave their mark. Between overbearing parents, pervy teachers, and a smug school rival dead set on ruining their plans, these teens are ready to push back, break rules, and rock their last months of high school on their own terms.

With its punchy humor, saturated colors, and early 2000s pop-punk energy, the trailer captures the game’s defiant tone — a nostalgic, heartfelt ode to teenage mischief, rebellion, and friendship.

Key Features:

• Cinematic Gameplay: Follow a branching narrative through a series of missions with different endings.
• A Fully Simulated School System: Attend (or skip) five different class types, including English, Math, Geography, Music, and German.
• Explore a Small-Town Sandbox: From bike shops to tattoo parlors, the world of Agefield is filled with places to discover and decisions to make.
• Side Hustles and Mini-Games: Complete a variety of side missions and activities like prank calling and lawn mowing to earn cash and unlock items.
• Customize Your Look: Buy clothes, accessories, bikes, hairstyles, and more to express your style and stand out in the halls.
• Authentic Early 2000s Vibes: A pop-punk soundtrack, springtime setting, and vibrant color palette create an atmosphere that’s as loud and rebellious as your teen years.

Currently in development, Agefield High: Rock the School is scheduled to release for PC via Steam, with console versions planned for a later date. Players can wishlist the game on Steam now to stay up-to-date with the latest news and updates.

Developed by doBell and published by indienova, the narrative adventure game Hymer 2000 is set to officially launch on November 13 on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4/5. The game is priced at $4.99 USD, with a 10% launch discount on Steam.

Steam page：https://store.steampowered.com/app/3255860/

Release trailer：https://youtu.be/3afBUGi9aa8

Hymer 2000 is a text-based adventure game that blends narrative storytelling with interactive gameplay. Players take on the role of Frank, a recycling specialist sent to Hope Residence to recycle AI Hymer’s personality module. What begins as a simple task soon unfolds into a journey to uncover long-buried truths.

The game features a unique narrative system where players search, collect, and piece together fragmented memories to reveal the full story. Players can collect 80 Pareidolia image, each capturing a story that happened before in Hope Residence. In addition, 80 hidden dialogues allow players to freely enter keywords to unlock. As exploration deepens, these fragments gradually connect to reveal the truth behind the story.

As a key character in the story, Hymer supports free-form text interaction. From simple commands like “open the door” to more complex questions, players can talk freely with Hymer, whose responses make it feel more alive than a typical NPC.

Beyond the main story, algorithm-driven mini-programs like Canvas, Notes, and Particles offer creative, interesting interactions that enrich the overall experience.

Following its well-received demo on Steam and itch.io in September, the full version of Hymer 2000 is coming soon. Join us to uncover the secrets of Hope Residence.

Game Features

• An open-ended conversational system free from predefined text options.
• Enter any keyword to search for conversational logs between Hymer and others.
• A well-rounded story connected by 80 illustrations of pareidolic “faces.”
• Interactive mini-games based on algorithms, including “Particle” and “Note.”
• An interface that simulates an operating system.

My chosen type of game are point and click and action/adventure third person. SOPA borrows from both to also be its own thing. A living 3D animated cartoon come to life as well as a surrealistic painted dream the vibes and feels are truly charming.

While its a short game, it has some awesome characters, art design and music. There’s no voice acting in the game, but the writing is lovely and everyone, even the most minor of characters seems fleshed out.

It has some of the issues of a point and click as well though. There is a lot fetch questing, a lot of back and forth, a lot of getting unsure of the next step and the solution just noticing a “pixel” or realizing the inventory puzzle. None of it ever bad enough to not want to continue through the charm though.

This review is short, but like I said, so is the game, but I hope like the game you found the words sweet as well.

SOPA – Tale of the Stolen Potato is available on Steam, PS5, XBox and I believe even Switch, although the main website only links to Steam. The price should be $19.99 USD everywhere.

(also I seem to have only 21 of 31 achievements despite beating the game, so there is much more than meets the eye. Meaning, explore, explore, explore.

Explore a scribbly world full of charming characters, hidden paths, and tough-but-fair bosses to best, all handcrafted by jakefriend

Today indie narrative label Fellow Traveller and developer jakefriend, AKA Jake, have announced that the wonderfully witty adventure game Scrabdackle Act 1 will launch onto Steam December 2.

Scrabdackle begins when the wizard academy is attacked, flinging a novice wizard through a window and out into a wide, hand-drawn world. Players will navigate the vast unfamiliar lands as they try to make their way home, encountering curious creatures, quarrelsome characters, and tough-but-fair bosses.

Built by (essentially) one developer, Scrabdackle features between 12-15 hours of gameplay in Act 1 – with two more acts to follow. The base game price will increase with each new act, but players who pick up the game on December 2 will get the remaining acts as free updates.

In this scribbly open-world adventure, gameplay is distinctly non-linear, allowing players to uncover most regions, spells, and bosses in any order they choose. Exploration of Scrabdackle’s nooks and crannies will lead to hidden secrets, more spells to learn, new areas to find, and whimsical townsfolk with their own narrative threads to tug on.

Scrabdackle Act 1 has nine larger-than-life foes who won’t go down easy. Each boss is a rewarding encounter designed to test a player’s timing and persistence. Every fight is a unique challenge with its own patterns, personality, and surprises. Difficulty is adjustable in the challenge settings for players who prefer to focus on exploration and puzzles.

Players will keep track of their journey in an in-game notebook, where every curious creature, charming character, and strange new place they study is logged. Pages will fill with discoveries, lore, and sketches as they explore, and the book’s cover can even be personalised with 40 collectible stickers hidden throughout the world.

For more updates on the magical (mis)adventures of Scrabdackle, join the Scrabdackle Discord or follow Jake on Bluesky.

Direction description from the games developer:

About the Game
I made this single-player ghost investigation sim rooted in Voodoo. Step into the role of a clairvoyant priestess and perform sacred rituals, use vintage paranormal tools, and bridge the worlds of the living and the dead to uncover the haunting truths that echo beyond the grave.

Description
Daughter of Voodoo is a first-person, single-player ghost investigation game where ancestral Voodoo rituals collide with the unseen world of the dead. As Marie Laurette, a clairvoyant priestess, you walk a fine line between the living and the dead. Use authentic Voodoo practices to commune with spirits, guide them toward the afterlife, and uncover the truth behind their restless presence. Craft Voodoo ritual objects like mojo bags, perform ceremonies, and strengthen your connection to the realm of the dead as you unravel each supernatural mystery.
Your clairvoyant sight lets you pierce the veil and glimpse into the realm of the dead where you see spirits as they were in their final, fleeting moments. Within this realm lies vital clues no ordinary investigator could ever reach… but not every spirit welcomes your presence.
Supplement investigations with vintage paranormal investigation tools like tape recorders, microphones, and cameras. Each case draws you deeper into tense, unpredictable encounters, where every sound and shadow could be the clue you’ve been searching for… or the warning you were meant to fear. Every haunting is a story; every spirit hides a secret craving to be told.
Reveal their histories, face what binds them to this world and decide what must be done to set them free.

About the Developer
I’m a solo developer with a long-standing interest in real-world paranormal investigations. That passion led me to create my first two games, Conrad Stevenson’s Paranormal P.I. and Among the Whispers – Provocation. Both are grounded ghost hunting simulators focused on realism and investigative work. The games were well received and built up a loyal player base who appreciated its slower, more authentic approach to the paranormal.
