Developed by the Russian studio Cheerleaders, Distrust is an unusual, isometric survival horror, which mingles reality with hallucinations. The player assumes control of two survivors, who got stuck near an abandoned base in the arctic, as a result of a helicopter crash. The crash itself is only the beginning of their trouble, as a creature remains in the vicinity of the base - becoming a deadly threat to the characters. The player's goal is to save the characters, but in order to achieve this, it is necessary to obtain food and find warm shelter. Sleeping involves taking a risk, however, as the beast can attack, and on the other hand, lack of sleep will result in hallucinations, so one needs to balance their actions appropriately. Distrust utilizes the Unity 3D engine; as befits a survival horror, the game comes with a dense atmosphere that can terrify the player. The story is conveyed through animated and voiced-over cut-scenes.

Puzzle, Fantasy, Internet, Card Games, Multiplayer, Turn-based, Free-to-play.
A card game developed by Square-Enix, set in a fantasy world of the Dragon Quest series. We participate in turn-based one-on-one fights, during which we use our own card decks with pictures of characters and enemies known from other entries in this series (such as Huser from Dragon Quest X or Camus and Martin from Dragon Quest XI) – each of the characters has their unique abilities and using them is the key to success. Our goal is to reduce our enemy's health bar to zero, which allows us to win a fight. Getting new cards increases our battle potential. The graphics in Dragon Quest Rivals are pleasant, made in manga style with vivid colors.

Top Gear: Road Trip
July 5, 2021, End of Life
Puzzle, Match-3, Cars, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A mobile logic game developed by the Finnish developer Motorious Entertainment. As the title suggests, the game is based on the popular TV show – Top Gear, aired by BBC Britain. In Top Gear: Road Trip, the player gets to travel across Great Britain, France, Italy, and other regions of Europe. During the game, one not only visits the aforementioned territories but also participates in multiple races, acquires new cars, and completes tasks based on the challenges from the TV show. When playing the game, the player has access to two separate parts of the screen – on the first one, they observe the action from the inside of a car, which allows them to control the situation on the track and quickly react to anything that might happen (the driving mechanics are typical for match-3 games). The bottom part of the screen is populated with colorful symbols, which the players have to manipulate in order to create combinations of 3 pieces in the same color. Such sequences influence the movement of the driven car. What is worth mentioning, particular tracks can be completed multiple times in order to beat one’s best scores, as well as those set by players from all around the world.

Crashday Redline Edition
July 5, 2021, End of Life
Racing, Arcade Elements, Internet, Multiplayer, Cars, Singleplayer.
A refreshed and expanded version of 2006's Crashday, developed by the creators of the original version, the Moonbyte studio. The game offers twelve cars (urban vehicles, heavy off-road cars, and sport rides), and the player participates in insane and dynamic racing events taking place on 36 tracks filled with obstacles and jumps. Apart from the necessity to get familiar with each track, victory is achieved through making a good use of tools that can make winning harder for the opponents, such as cannons or missile launchers. Collecting the power-ups scattered throughout the track is an important aspect as well, as they can instantly fix one's ride or refill the ammunition. Crashday offers seven kinds of competitions, namely Race, Wrecking Match, Stunt Mode, Hold The Flag, Pass The Bomb, Bomb Run and Test Drive. These are complemented by a complex track editor (one can share tracks they have created with others via Steam Workshop), and a multiplayer mode, which gives an opportunity to compete against up to seven players. Those who prefer the single player experience can launch the career mode, special challenges and single races. Compared to the original version, the game offers improved visuals. As in the original Crashday, competition is intensified through listening to tracks by such musicians as Lowbuz, Peter Struck or Pencilcase.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier
July 5, 2021, End of Life
Adventure, Movies, Post-apocalypse, Singleplayer.
An adventure game set in the universe of the Planet of the Apes movie series. The game is a debut project of the British Imaginati studio, which has been established under Imaginarium Productions. The action of Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is set between the events shown in the movies titled Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes. The player can follow the adventures of the primates, who have separated themselves from the group being in the center of the movies in order to hide in the forests and caves throughout the Rocky Mountains. The harsh conditions and hunger have forced them to abandon their hideout - the only way for the herd to survive is to launch an attack on a small farm inhabited by humans. Gameplay mechanics of Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier draw from the solutions known from the games developed by Telltale Games. During the game, the player does not control the characters directly and does not explore the locations - their role is limited to selecting particular dialog options. These choices determine the story’s direction (some decisions might result in the deaths of certain key characters) and ending. The game delivers high-quality visuals - the developers have based their game on the Unreal Engine 4 technology. The player is bound to appreciate the detailed character models and their rich animations.
