'Liars must be punished': Dyping Escape looks creepy as hell, pitting you against a pair of eyes that seem to be taking over your PC

Horror has always been a genre that pushes boundaries. It toys with our ideas of what a game can actually be. In Dyping Escape, rather than simply selecting conversation options from a drop down box, you have to type out predetermined responses. Sounds easy, but as the trailer in the PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct shows, things quickly unravel.

When you lose in this 'haunted board game', your builds become opponents for other players to fight asynchronously

There's nothing quite like setting up a custom, intricate hell maze in a level editor, sending it to friends, and watching as they trounce it with minimal effort. Turnbound, which debuted at today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, is boxing up that unique brand of shame and delivering it to your door in the form of an asynchronous autobattler.

'Planet Earth is about to be recycled': Join Us is a multiplayer game about leading a cult into doomsday and, apparently, riding grizzly bears

A press release for Join Us, a multiplayer cult-shepherding game that debuted with a trailer at today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, points out that "a cult leader with no followers is just a lonely weirdo." As a weirdo who considers himself both prolific and surrounded by my weird peers, I'm happy to put my skills to the test—even if that means riding around on a pig packing a minigun, which (this trailer has taught me) is what cult leaders do.

Demi and the Fractured Dream brings a Zelda-like action adventure game to PC with stylish combat and mysterious characters

Since Nintendo has yet to embrace PC gaming, it's up to games like Demi and the Fractured Dream to bring us some of that Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom magic.
In the trailer shown during today's PC Gaming Show Tokyo Direct, we see a masked figure wake up in an old, ruined temple. A mysterious voice guides our hero to defeat the legendary Accursed Beasts. It's unmistakably inspired by the Zelda games, but it still has its own sense of style and place thanks to the wonderfully designed characters.

Create your band in People of Note, a turn-based RPG musical that feels like the Kpop Demon Hunters tie-in game I wished for

If you watched the incredible KPop Demon Hunters and thought, "Damn, I wish there were a game of this," then allow me to introduce you to People of Note. It's incredibly serendipitous that this musical RPG has been announced so soon after the animated movie took over the world.

D-topia is about a city where 'life is curated by artificial intelligence to maximize happiness,' which actually sounds like something the tech industry is on the verge of pitching

Do you ever wonder how those utopian sci-fi societies in the movies are actually managed? Sure, everyone's needs are met and robots do all the cleaning, but what happens if a robot breaks down? Does another robot fix it? In D-topia, you play as a Facilitator who helps an AI run the perfect city.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/new-party-game-task-time-promises-unlimited-chaos-with-over-500-000-task-variations-and-the-instruction-to-do-what-it-takes-to-win/
Does it ever feel like videogames just have you completing random tasks? In Task Time, that's the whole point. From developer ReadGraves, whose staff includes Fall Guys and Gang Beasts developers, comes a party game that promises more than 500,000 task variations for you and your friends to do.

Don't Lie is a freaky new horror game about a reclusive 'hikikomori' trapped in liminal spaces with terrifying hallucinations and so very many eyes

Do you ever feel a bit funny and then realize you've not left your apartment in five days? No, just me then?
Broken Lore: Don't Lie, a spin-off of the horror game Don't Watch, encapsulates that feeling and then some. It puts you in the shoes of Junko, an isolated young woman losing her grip on reality while in self-imposed isolation.
