Past Cure was announced in February as a single-player stealth-action game that takes place in two distinct realms, "the gritty real world and the abstract dream world—a concept that will remind fans of the Hollywood blockbuster Inception," developer Phantom 8 said at the time.

We've been hearing for a while that there are some new maps in the works for battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and today we got a little peek at one of them. It's a desert map—cacti, dry grass, dirt, and a generally arid feel—and along with a couple of ramshackle buildings there'a a train (drivable?) and a bicycle (ridable?).

Inspired by the Bullfrog era management games of yesteryear—such as Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park World and Theme Hospital—indie dev Matt Luard brings us The Eldritch Zookeeper. Here, the rules are simple: manage a cursed zoo full of monsters, and try your utmost to prevent zoo visitors/yourself from being eaten. Hmm, perhaps it's not that simple after all.
