Release date
Last Flag launches April 14, bringing a fresh take on Capture the Flag with strategic gameplay, team coordination, and dynamic match flow.
Over the years, shooters have mostly evolved along two familiar paths. On one side, you have games that push raw mechanical skill to the limit, like Counter-Strike 2. On the other, there are titles that build depth through abilities and roles, like Overwatch 2. But somewhere between those two approaches, there’s been a noticeable gap—one where gameplay isn’t driven purely by reflexes, or entirely by ability-based systems. Last Flag is stepping right into that space....

The Occultist is a slow horror thriller set on a cursed island, focused on stealth, puzzles, and dark mystery.
If you are in the mood for a slow and tense horror thriller, The Occultist might be exactly what you are looking for. This is not a fast-paced action game filled with constant fights. Instead, it focuses on atmosphere, mystery, and that uneasy feeling that something is always watching you. It’s the kind of game you play with headphones on, lights off, and full attention.
The story follows Alan Rebels, a paranormal investigator searching for answers about his missing father. That...

DarkSwitch is a vertical city builder where you grow a settlement on a giant tree while surviving a dark, dangerous world.
DarkSwitch is a strategy and survival city builder, but it doesn’t follow the usual formula. Instead of expanding across a wide map, the game asks you to build upward around a massive tree. It blends city management, exploration, and defense, all wrapped in a dark fantasy setting where danger is always close. From the start, it’s clear this is not your typical peaceful builder.
The main idea is simple but effective. You are trying to keep a small group of survivors...

You play as a young artist trying to build a band, travel across different places, and slowly grow from small performances to something much bigger.
Instead of classic battles with swords or guns, everything here revolves around music. Encounters feel like live shows where timing...
