Embrace the Spooky Thrills of “Dead Season” This October!


As the leaves turn golden and the lights grow longer, gamers everywhere are gearing up for the spookiest season of the year. October delivers the spooky fun games that some gamers look forward to year after year. Dead Season is set to deliver chills and thrills, making it the perfect addition to your Halloween gaming lineup. Your mission is to guide a group of survivors to safety while upgrading their skills as they fight their way through hordes of zombies that react to every sound. Can you escape the grip of the outbreak?

Dead Season is a survival horror game that plunges players into a post-apocalyptical world packed with zombies and eerie environments. Developed by Snailbite, Dead Season pulls you in with detailed visuals, a spooky storyline, and heart-pounding gameplay.



October is obviously synonymous with all things spooky, making it the ideal month for developers to release horror-themed games like “Dead Season.” Here’s why we appreciate publishers timing their releases for this season:


  1. Atmospheric Alignment: The eerie ambiance of October, with its dark evenings and Halloween festivities, perfectly complements the chilling atmosphere of horror games. Playing “Dead Season” during this time enhances the overall experience.

  2. Seasonal Excitement: Gamers are more drawn to horror content in October, seeking out experiences that match the spooky spirit of the season. This includes some gamers who don't normally prefer to play horror-based games.

  3. Community Engagement: October is a time when some gaming communities come together to celebrate horror games. From streaming marathons to themed events, the release of games like Dead Season during this month allow for shared excitement and fun fright among players & their audience.

    Here's a "How To" on linking your Amazon to Twitch Accounts.

  4. Marketing Synergy: The Halloween season provides ample opportunities for creative marketing campaigns that just feel out of place during other times of the year (unless they fall on Friday the 13th). From spooky trailers to themed merchandise, publishers can leverage the Halloween hype to generate buzz and drive sales because it just makes sense.


Dead Season is set to be a standout title this October for fans of turn-based strategy games, offering gamers a chilling escape into a world of horror and survival to get the survivors to safety. Most horror games aren't normally served up in a turn-based strategy game, so it adds another audience to the mix. So, gear up, turn off the lights, and get ready to face the undead in Dead Season!




 Dead Season is rated M for Mature (Ages 17+)!

Official Release of Artifice: War Tactics | August 16, 2024


Chennai, India – August 16th, 2024 – Today Silvine Game Studios is thrilled and excited to announce the full PC Steam release today (16th August) of  their  polished and challenging turn-based strategy game, Artifice: War Tactics! The release marks four years of dedicated focus to produce a title that will excite fans of turn based strategies everywhere!



Unleash your tactical prowess in a mediaeval fantasy world where survival depends on thwarting enemy ambushes with an array of champions at your disposal. Defeat powerful bosses to conquer strongholds and lead your army to victory!


My Initial Impression:

If you enjoy strategy games with roguelike elements that deliver action in a board game-like setup, then Artifice: War Tactics might be right up your alley. What really captivated me was the intensity brought on by the limited movement. While the concept isn’t entirely new to me, the unique movement mechanics—where characters can move straight forward, at an angle, or side to side with a step or two forward—present a challenge I haven’t encountered in quite some time. It reminded me of chess. You have to carefully consider your approach because you only have so many shards, and to secure victory, it’s crucial to conserve as many as possible.


I haven’t yet explored any complex strategic combos, but I’ve managed to use neutral enemies in the environment to attack the opposition. I’m eager to see how many combinations can be strung together, as some of the enemies are quite formidable, not to mention the bosses. Enough talk—check out the First 30 of Artifice: War Tactics:



Game Highlights

  • Innovative Combat: Asymmetric Combat system allowing for strategic combinations and synergies. Positioning your champions is crucial, as each unit has specific movement and attack patterns. Tactical positioning can turn the tide of battle, making it essential for players to plan their moves carefully.

  • Dynamic Environments: The biome hazards come in four types: Sandworm, Frost Wraith, Poison Ivy, and Floating Rune. They can be both dangerous and useful. Hitting enemies near these hazards causes additional damage, but taking a hit near them can result in losing a shard (life). Master tacticians will need to use these hazards wisely to gain an advantage.

  • Challenging Gameplay: Each unit has unique traits and abilities, with boss battles unlocking new islands. Every hit counts, and if you lose all your lives, you'll have to restart—true to its roguelike nature.





Tram Simulator Urban Visit + First 30 Gameplay!


All Aboard the Tram-tastic Adventure in Tram Simulator Urban Transit!

Hey there, future tram drivers and city planners! Get ready to embark on a ride through the vibrant streets of Angel Shores in Tram Simulator Urban Transit.

First things first, let's talk about the star of the show: the trams! You'll get to choose from six different models, each with its own unique personality. Whether you're into sleek, modern designs or prefer the classic, timeless charm, there's a tram for every taste. And hey, who says public transportation can't be stylish?

But it's not just about looking good; you'll need to put your driving skills to the test as you navigate the bustling city streets. Follow traffic rules (or don't, if you're feeling rebellious), and try not to run over any unsuspecting pedestrians... like I did. It felt like my first run was going to be my last day on the job.

As if driving wasn't enough of a challenge, you'll also need to manage your tram company. Create timetables, plan routes, and expand your network like a true transit tycoon. And don't forget to upgrade your fleet – because who doesn't want a shiny new tram to show off to their friends?

If you're a beginner, start with the "Driving School" tutorial and learn the ropes (like I did). This is my Tram Simulator Urban... Visit:



If you're feeling bold, dive straight into the story mode and tackle 10+ missions. Or, if you just want to sit back and watch the world burn (figuratively, of course), hop into sandbox mode and run wild.

And if you're feeling lonely, grab some friends and jump into 4 player multiplayer mode! You can connect with fellow tram enthusiasts across PC and console platforms, collaborating and competing to create the ultimate transit network.


Now, I'll be honest – this game might not be everyone's cup of tea. It's got a bit of a learning curve, and it requires a certain level of patience and attention to detail. But if you're willing to give it a chance, you might just find yourself falling in love with the chaotic charm of Tram Simulator Urban Transit.

So, what are you waiting for? Hop aboard, grab the controls, and get ready for a tram-tastic adventure through Angel Shores! Just remember: if things start to go off the rails (literally), just keep calm and tram on!
