Explore a Charming Open World and Battle Unique Monsters
Cassette Beasts is a classic creature collection and monster battle game, with a twist. Featuring beautiful art and unique creatures, the game takes place on the remote island of New Wirral. The island is inhabited by strange creatures and a group of brave people who are plagued by attacks from these creatures. They’re ready to fight back, though.
The residents of Harbourtown use cassette tapes to transform for battle against the aggressive monster inhabitants, and so will you! Use your cassette players to record a monster on tape. Then, play the tape back in order to transform into the creature you’ve recorded. Cassette Beasts isn’t a solo adventure, and you don’t need to fight alone, either! Build friendships and travel the island with a companion. As you get to know your new friend, you’ll unlock the ability to fuse monster forms. Monster fusion will produce a new, unique creature, as well as increase your strength to gain the upper hand in battle. The strength of your relationship will determine how well your fusion works.
Explore an incredible open-world with your battle companion. Solve puzzles and find dungeons to complete. Use some of the cassette beast abilities in human form and fly, glide, dash, swim, climb, or even become magnetic. Ultimately, you’re looking for a way off the island, and the only way to do that is to fight your way through and explore every nook and cranny for answers!
Steam, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch
This cute spin on creature collection and monster battles is currently available on Steam. It will be available on Xbox and Nintendo Switch starting May 25th, 2023.

Welcome to Violet’s Boutique!
Wylde Flowers is a beautifully crafted farming sim (and you can read my review here) where you play as Tara. She’s a city girl who arrived in Fairhaven to help her ailing grandmother with the family farm. It needs a lot of restoring, and Grandma Hazel just can’t do it alone. Plus, Tara’s a witch! Grandma Hazel is too, and teaches Tara about her new powers. So, Tara’s got a full plate. Learning to be a witch, restoring the farm, building relationships with the townspeople, and solving the mystery of Fairhaven is a full-time adventure.
Developer Studio Drydock even continues to impress the fanbase by actually listening to their criticisms and wishes. The first free update was released in December 2022, and gave players the ability to continue changing the seasons for continuous farming fun after the story is over. They also added more dialogue and the ability to go on dates with the person you married.
And come February 24th 2023, Studio Drydock will be releasing another free update! Violet is getting to live out her dreams and is opening a brand new boutique. You’ll be able to craft new outfits for Tara, from other dresses, sweatpants, overalls, and more, you’ll get to dress for any occasion. No more farming in heeled boots and a short dress! There will also be a Photo Mode, so you can capture special moments with friends and save memories from Tara’s life in Fairhaven. There’s even a special wedding to attend, and several more secret treats to discover in-game.
Coming February 24th!
In just two short days we’ll have Violet’s Boutique! If you haven’t played Wylde Flowers yet, you can find a demo on Steam, where you can also Wishlist the game. It’s also on Apple Arcade and Nintendo Switch!
And if you’re looking for more farming fun, then check out the upcoming Cornucopia, Coral Island which is in early access, or the fully released Harvestella.

Capture hundreds of strange creatures known as tinykin, and use their different abilities to solve puzzles and explore the house. Meet the society of insect characters along the way to hear their stories. Also collect upgrades for Milo’s bubble-pack, build a museum, and finish Ridmi’s mysterious machine.

Way To The Woods is a beautifully hand-drawn 3D adventure indie game.
At this years E3 presentation it was revealed that the gorgeous indie title “Way To The Woods” will be releasing next year. Created by solo developer and artist, Anthony Tan, WTTW is an adorable game about a lovely deer and her little fawn. They partake on a grand and perilous journey to find their way back home, to the woods. Only a trailer was played at the convention so far, so we did our research to get you the scoop on this upcoming charming and wholesome game.
The health system in Way to the Woods though…
As if the graphics and theme of the game aren’t cute enough, the health system literally revolves around staying close to your fawn. If for some reason you are overcome by the threats that are presented on your way to the woods, the world will begin to grow darker. This is sign that you are in too much danger.
You must then return to your little one, so that your light may be replenished. That is what is offered in lieu of a health bar. A health system doesn’t really get more heart-felt than that! The games developer wanted to make sure that the players are able to remain immersed in the amazing world that lay before them, and avoiding any UI is the perfect way to achieve exactly that.
A bit about Way to the Woods…
Being that it is possibly the cutest game ever made, we absolutely can’t wait to get our hands on it! Unfortunately, we will have to wait until next year for that to happen. The games graphics are all hand drawn by the developer himself, which certainly reflects in the amazing detail and wonderfully charming aesthetic presented throughout the game. WTTW is a third person adventure game, with whimsical puzzles and cute interactions all along the way. Way To The Woods will be releasing on both PC and consoles.
