EasyGameStation has announced Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale HD Edition, a remastered version of the December 31, 2007-released item shop simulation game / action RPG. It will launch in 2025 in Japan.

Capitalism, ho!

Sometimes it happens. I hope you have more luck with today's free game.

Hopefully we'll see reviews with the new microcode once the Holidays are over to get the full picture, but it was hard to believe that a sinple microcode update could fix all the problems.

A 30% increase in cost is huge... but still a lot less than the rumored tariffs. Still, it won't change a thing for GPUs because they will still be assembled in China.

AMD giving options to use whatever connector the partners want is fine by me. I mean, AsRock has current AMD GPUs with the 12-pin power connector and nothing has happened.

The worst part is that even James Cameron has joined an AI company. So yeah, we're doomed.

I mean, at least it will be a remake/remaster of a 18 year old game. We know it can be worse.

Yayifications, that's gonna be an insta-buy from me.

I wonder if Chantellise will also get a HD remake, considering that it's actually Recettear's predecessor.

Epic Store free game was "[Redacted]" in Oceania. Boo.

Burntime remastered is free on steam. It includes improvements like doubled resolution and wide screen support.

Lmao

I still havent played the original..

If you buy it, prepare to have all your free time sucked into an endless void.

I've already fallen into that pit with Moonlighter and I know I will with Amber isle.

The last news of the year!

Infinity Nikki's 1.1 update, Shooting Star Season, is out now

The ever-flowing open world fashion torrent of Infinity Nikki flows on, friends: As of yesterday they've released an update to Version 1.1 "Shooting Star Season" with a lot of new stuff to do (and a few doors shut on old stuff you didn't finish yet.)

Here's a quirky little space sim crossed with traditional roguelike
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/roguelike/heres-a-quirky-little-space-sim-crossed-with-traditional-roguelike/
I'm always on the lookout for an odd little roguelike, so imagine my surprise when I see one that's years old and I'd never spotted before, and it's the oft-ignored space roguelike to boot? Well, that's Approaching Infinity, a sci-fi dungeon crawler that's looking pretty interesting after a few years of solo developer toil in early access release. (Though they've been working on it, on and off, since 2013.)

Needless to say, there'll be no news tomorrow.

I forgot to add something to the news: Happy New Year everybody! I wish you all a great 2025.

Happy New Years guys.
