Masterplan Tycoon

Masterplan Tycoon is a real-time strategy game about building interconnected chains of resources in a minimalist visual style. The game is set to arrive on PC via Steam in Q1 2023. A free demo is available now on Steam.

In Masterplan Tycoon, real-time strategy and management sim fans will build interconnected production chains to deliver products to their intended destinations. Nodes are buildings, pins are contact points between them, and links are supply lines. The game will schematically depict all of these elements, allowing players to focus on managing their flow of resources.

Mistakes won’t be penalized. Masterplan Tycoon will prioritize relaxation and immersion through learning. The game will be intuitive from the beginning, but prepare players for more complex logistical challenges later on.

Key Features:

  • Supply chains must be configured in particular ways and can’t cross buildings. The more nodes you have, the harder it is to connect them.
  • The game immerses you in its core mechanics and opens the world gradually.
  • The main challenge of the game is to colonize all available territories and create the largest system you can ever imagine.
  • You will not encounter a situation where you have to start the game over because of mistakes you made along the way.

This horror-infused, puzzle-packed, atmospheric adventure game is slated to launch in Spring 2023 on PC via Steam. Curious dark fantasy fanatics can already download a free demo on Steam today.

Daydream stars a boy named Griffin as he embarks on a journey to face his fears alongside his teddy bear companion Birly. As Griffin learns to confront haunting memories amidst floating castles and enchanted forests, he’ll come to discover the mystery of this newfound world.

The game was awarded Best Art at the Indie Blast Awards, Best Unreal Engine Game at Indie Cup. It was also a finalist during the Unreal Engine Dev Contest in 2020.

In Daydream, Griffin’s friendship with Birly is invaluable. The boy can pick up, throw and issue commands to the teddy bear to solve puzzles, explore and topple terrifying monsters. Toss Birly over a beam and request that he activate an elevator or have him crawl through a tiny hole to pull a lever on the other side. Dozens of traps and savage creatures lie on the duo’s path. Face your fears with brainpower and comradery.

Key Features:

  • A touching story made for everyone

  • Command an adorable teddy bear companion
