  1. Grisha returns to his childhood town to visit his younger sister. But instead of a familiar reunion, he’s met with an eerie silence… and traces that seem to be trying to say something.

The familiar streets feel empty, and the school where he spent both the best and hardest years of his life now stands lifeless. But the moment he crosses that familiar threshold, shadows of the past begin to resurface — and follow his every step.

"Pieces of Me" is an atmospheric interactive story about memory, pain, and the things people usually don’t talk about out loud.

What awaits you:

  • "Pieces of Me" is a spin-off of the game "September 7th";
  • A psychological thriller-drama focused on atmosphere and narrative;
  • Explore empty hallways, read abandoned notes, and piece together fragments of the present and the past;
  • The more closely you explore the world, the more it begins to respond… with fear;
  • Themes of loneliness, guilt, and the bond between loved ones;
  • 2000s-inspired aesthetic;
  • An immersive soundscape pulls you even deeper into the world of "Pieces of Me";
  • Every detail matters. Every silence speaks louder than words;
  • Sometimes, to find someone else, you first have to find yourself.

Skipping past the usual deserved 'fuck Oracle', what reason do universities (or most organisations for that matter) have to ever use Oracle's Java? The likes of OpenJDK seem to provide identical functionality for anyone who isn't specifically supporting Oracle Java customers, and I doubt unis are raising many JDK bugs that warrant paying for support.

 

You are Elias Dace, a determined investigative journalist drawn to the mystery of Ravenwood—a once-thriving coastal town that vanished without a trace overnight. Where bustling streets and seaside charm once existed, now lies only a thick, unnatural fog that swallows all who dare enter. The town has become legend… a warning… a ghost story.

But you're not one to shy away from the truth.

While approaching the outskirts, you stumble upon a chilling sight: a pair of high heels, streaked with blood, abandoned beside an open manhole. Against all instinct, you descend—only to find yourself trapped inside Ravenwood.

 

Widely known in small circles as AntiSquad, they are a military tactical response unit. These hardened military professionals, tired of bureaucracy, politics and serving the armed forces, have established a private paramilitary formation located in south United States. Being true military professionals, they periodically execute contracts for jobs that may not be considered “clean”.

The Team consists of many complex individuals with their own back story, but they do not shun mercenary applicants. Members of the team are idealists; they dwell on moral issues, as well as question blind nationalism, etc. AntiSquad strongly differ from military units. They truly are a bunch of contradictions put together - heartfelt cynics, gregarious egoists, aggressive pacifists, and phlegmatic rebels all under one banner.

I won't copy out all the details here but it looks like there's a wide range of reasonably-fleshed-out little 2D indies from a solo developer

I was surprised to discover how simple Windows commands on Linux (via Wine/Proton) are, x86 on ARM is much harder. That said, Apple have managed it pretty well (Rosetta?) so it's clearly doable.

It was previously the same weekend as Monaco, next year it's the same weekend as Canada. What difference does it make?

This looks fun! FYI we're doing tags like [Steam via Fanatical] now (sorry I keep changing it, people keep pointing out how the old ways are ambiguous!)
