Possessor(s) – Coming to PC & Consoles in 2025
Possessor(s) is a fast-paced action side scroller with combat inspired by platform fighters, a story told through dangerous characters, set in a deep interconnected world ripe for exploration.

Tenjutsu – Coming to PC & Consoles
In Tenjutsu you play as a renegade yakuza hellbent on defying her former associates and loosening their grip on the Secret Garden City.
Four powerful crime syndicates control the city, ruling with an iron fist. To defeat them, you must master a brutal brawling system and build a diverse arsenal of weapons, upgrades, and martial arts techniques, breaking their hold on the streets in a flurry of violence.
As these sinister organisations fall to your fists, tackled in any order you wish, the city is reborn.
The ruined streets become vibrant and full of life, and you can spend gathered resources in shops and restaurants to help you on your quest.
Shape the city to fit your play style, unlocking new weapons, combat moves, and areas to explore. Just don’t take too long: the longer you spend preparing, the stronger your enemies will become.

Following a traumatic encounter with dark forces, Alba finds herself bound to a curious, mischievous wolf cub. Working together, the pair will help each other overcome increasingly dangerous situations.
The wolf will grow and mature over time—as will Alba’s relationship with it as they traverse this cursed, decaying world.
