Hello everyone!
We’re kickstarting May with a higher than usual batch of new releases. We repeat our usual blend of new releases and ports for consoles, so let’s take a look at them just below!
Tuesday 5.
Wax Heads, from Patattie Games and published by Curve Games, is a cozy-punk narrative sim about working in a struggling record store. You can chat to quirky customers with unique tastes, explore a handcrafted record collection, fall in love with bands (and their drama!), or just slack off with your colleagues – whatever gets everyone’s groove back! The game releases on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
Aruma Studios released the Switch port of Shadows of the Afterland. Madrid, 1960. A chilling incident unfolds at the city’s old zoo, leading to a mysterious death that propels a soul to the threshold between the world of the living and the afterlife. But when the transition goes awry, the soul arrives with the memories of Carolina, one of the pioneers of the Madrid police force, who has not yet been born. Step into Carolina’s shoes and immerse yourself in a detective mystery to unravel the enigma shrouding these events. Explore the wacky realm of the afterlife, teeming with unique characters and with its own rules.
