When a press release from Team17 popped into our inbox informing that this week’s was medically accurate, we assumed this was a joke, imagining something like the board game Operation. Then we scrolled down and saw the realistically detailed screenshots, including bodies on morgue tables and images of vital organs. Morbid? Perhaps, but there are themes of horror present too, in addition to a narrative tying everything together.

On the lighter side of things, there’s a remaster of on the horizon, due out 2nd April. This sees the PS1/Saturn 3D platformer – originally pitched to Nintendo as a Yoshi game – gain a HD makeover along with a digital gallery.

The latest title to gain an early access edition is the Xbox’s – the deep south fantasy action RPG from We Happy Few creators Compulsion Games. Think along the lines of Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, only with less princesses. Definitely frogs though. The premium edition grants five-day early access along with a digital artbook and the soundtrack.

We can also expect the arcade style , PSVR2 time travel adventure , first-person psychological horror , open world RPG – which has very positive reviews on Steam – and the exceedingly colourful mini world maker .

Sometimes You has not one, not two, but three games due this week. is a visual novel entailing a robbery at the titular casino, featuring four possible endings. , meanwhile, is a short (40 min) walking simulator with themes of life and death. This too has multiple endings. Then there’s – which involves playing a retro video game inside a cabin, where the actions within the game solve puzzles within the real world. It appears to have gone down reasonably well on PC. 

Lastly, the Switch and PS5 gain retail releases of Digital Eclipse’s , , and – each part of the Gold Master Series. All three are due out today (Monday) for some reason. Not that we’re complaining.
