And there’s a third part of the news, but don’t worry, it’s short:

The Rocky Horror Show is getting its own videogame for Halloween, and it's a retro 2D platformer for some reason

A confession: I'm one of those people who just doesn't get The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Don't get me wrong—I can enjoy Tim Curry being sexually confusing in his prime as much as any other red-blooded human, but as a musical it feels like an awful lot of running around for the sake of one decent song.
But perhaps I'll finally be able to wrap my head around it now that it's being translated to videogame form, the one medium I know anything about. That's right, we're getting a Rocky Horror game—and very soon too, with the trailer promising an October 2024 release. Just in time for Halloween!

Frostpunk dev's quietly very cool survival game where you manage relationships with your alt-universe selves gets delayed to next year

When I played The Alters at the same preview event where I also tried to establish turbo-communism in Frostpunk 2 earlier this year (it could have worked), I came away very much surprised. Games that pitch themselves as survival-anything don't tend to do much for me; I struggle enough to survive in real life.

A cool idea that I want to see more of. Alas, I'll have to wait longer than I thought. Despite having an initial release date of this year, the game's been pushed back into "Q1 2025." In an in-character post shared on X, "The Everything App", the devs at 11 bit studios said they were "using this extended time to optimize all mission-critical systems and ensure that every aspect of your journey is as seamless as possible."
