Amanita Design has announced that Samorost 3, the point-and-click adventure game about a tiny space dwarf who lives in a very strange corner of the galaxy, will be out on March 24. The studio also unveiled a wonderful new trailer showcasing some of the game's bizarre, beautiful environments.

INFILTRATE A 1970S RELIGIOUS CULT IN THE CHURCH IN THE DARKNESS

http://www.pcgamer.com/infiltrate-a-1970s-religious-cult-in-the-church-in-the-darkness/

The Church in the Darkness is an “action-infiltration game” that see you play a former cop attempting to get inside the isolated religious colony of Freedom Town, to check on the health and well-being of your nephew. It's set in the 1970s and “inspired by real-life events,” with very obvious echoes of Jonestown, but what makes it interesting beyond its historical context is that the church may not be what it appears.

CONSORTIUM: THE TOWER'S RESCUE PLAN REVEALED

http://www.pcgamer.com/consortium-the-towers-rescue-plan-revealed/

Interdimensional Games said earlier this month that it was working on a “radical plan” to save Consortium: The Tower, the first-person RPG that failed to achieve (or even come close to) its goal on Kickstarter. It actually revealed in an update posted last week that the plan is another crowdfunding campaign, but today the studio announced that the new effort will take place on Fig.

 

THERE'S A VR VERSION OF SUPERHOT IN THE WORKS

http://www.pcgamer.com/theres-a-vr-version-of-superhot-in-the-works/

Superhot is, well, hyper warm, as Phil Savage explains in his review. But like every first-person game around at the moment, some people want to play it in VR. I have some good news for those people: Superhot is getting a VR version.

 

COPPER DREAMS IS A CYBERPUNK CRPG - HERE'S THE FIRST TRAILER

http://www.pcgamer.com/copper-dreams-is-a-cyberpunk-crpg-heres-the-first-trailer/

Whalenought Studios' Serpent in the Staglands slipped under a lot of peoples' radars, and that's a crying shame. It's a novel cRPG set in a fascinating gothic fantasy world, inspired by the ahead-of-its-time Darklands—Darklands!—of all things. Not ones to sit on their laurels, the two-person development team is making another cRPG: a "cyberpunk, cybertactical party-based cRPG" no less.

TRAILER FOR SUNLESS SEA'S ZUBMARINER DLC DETAILS THE ZEE FLOOR

http://www.pcgamer.com/trailer-for-sunless-seas-zubmariner-dlc-details-the-zee-floor/

Sunless Sea's upcoming Zubmariner expansion is looking wonderfully eerie, like pretty much every game set under the sea. Sorry, the 'Zee', which is like the sea but zingier, probably. Developer Failbetter Games offered a brief glimpse of life, and lights, under da Zee back in January, and here's another trailer detailing the Zee floor.

ADR1FT WILL COME TO OTHER, NON-OCULUS RIFT VR PLATFORMS

http://www.pcgamer.com/adr1ft-will-come-to-other-non-oculus-rift-vr-platforms/

Adr1ft, the forthcoming space exploration game coming to both Oculus Rift and Steam, will also come to other VR platforms, the studio has confirmed. Still, it won't be coming to Steam's own VR platform, as the studio wishes to support Oculus's own marketplace at launch.

 

DRAGON FRONT IS THE OCULUS RIFT'S YU-GI-OH

http://www.pcgamer.com/dragon-front-is-the-oculus-rifts-yu-gi-oh/

I'll admit that when Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey teased a collectible card game along the lines of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime, I was stoked on the idea of 100-foot high Blue Eyes White Dragons blasting me from the arena as my underfed deck folded before them. VR obliteration would add a certain spice to defeat. Dragon Front, from High Voltage Software, doesn't look quite like that.

http://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-hololens-development-edition-available-to-pre-order/

Things are kicking off in VR. Prices and pre-orders are being announced left, right and centre: first the Oculus Rift, then the HTC Vive and now Microsoft's AR HoloLens Development Edition is available to pre-order too. You really do have to be a dev though. And have $3,000 to gamble. And be based in the US or Canada.

>>Ouch!
