Albatroz: Journey into the Unknown

Albatroz, developed by Among Giants and published by SOEDESCO, is a backpacking RPG that invites players to step into the shoes of Isla, a young woman searching for her lost brother, Kai, across the mystical “Forbidden Lands.” Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam, the game offers a compelling blend of narrative depth, survival mechanics, and exploration, all wrapped in a visually striking world where two realms converge.
As Isla, you abandon city life and set out on a personal quest that quickly evolves into a journey of self-discovery, loss, and resilience. The game’s world is rich with mysticism, featuring the legendary Albatroz Mountain-known as “the walking mountain”-which serves as both a literal and metaphorical goal. Along the way, you encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with their own stories and cultures, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

A Psychedelic Journey: Interview with Gabriel Ledoux, Creator of LAVALAMP

LAVALAMP is a unique 3D first-person walking simulator that immediately stands out for its vivid, psychedelic visuals and eccentric storytelling. The game invites players into a surreal world where exploration and ambiance take center stage, weaving a narrative around the quirky mission of helping space lemmings. Developed primarily by Gabriel Ledoux, a music composer turned game developer, LAVALAMP offers a fresh take on the walking simulator genre, blending minimalist mechanics with an explosion of color and sound.
The experience is intentionally offbeat and whimsical, with each room in the game serving as a portal to a new, vibrant dimension. The story is deceptively simple-helping lemmings from space-but the journey is filled with unexpected perspectives, playful interactions, and a soundtrack that elevates the entire adventure. LAVALAMP is a testament to the creative freedom found in indie game development, where limitations can become the foundation for originality and charm.

Out of Hands: Art, Horror, and Healing

Entering the Nightmare: Story and Psychological Depth

Out of Hands is an indie card RPG developed solely by Yang Zeyu, the creative force behind Game River. The game thrusts players into a nightmarish dreamscape, where the protagonist, shattered by the loss of a loved one, must navigate a world that is as eerie as it is emotionally charged. Each step through this surreal landscape is a confrontation with repressed memories and psychological scars, with the narrative constantly shaped by three fragmented states of mind-logic, cryptic intuition, and instinct. These mental voices not only influence the protagonist’s actions but also lead players to question what is real, what is delusion, and what lies in the unspeakable abyss that lurks beneath trauma.

A Decade in the Making: An In-Depth Interview with Alon Kaplan on Moduwar

The Genesis of Moduwar

Sitting down with Alon Kaplan, CEO, Team lead, and composer at Biohex Studios, at the Olamot convention, I was eager to uncover the story behind Moduwar-an RTS unlike any other. Alon recounted how the journey began nearly a decade ago, when he and co-creator Alon Tzarafi (CTO & Lead Game Designer), both passionate about real-time strategy games, gathered friends to brainstorm a new concept. Inspired by the cult classic NetStorm, they envisioned a game where players connect floating islands and build modular weapons. The twist? In Moduwar, these islands would be living creatures, not static landmasses.

After a pivotal phone call, the core mechanic of splitting and merging living entities was born. The team quickly built a tiny prototype, but the road ahead was anything but straightforward. Showcasing early builds at conventions, they received positive feedback but struggled to find a publisher willing to take a risk on such an unconventional idea. It wasn’t until a chance meeting with Firesquid at Gamescom that things finally clicked, leading to a publishing deal and a renewed sense of purpose to finish the game.
