Top Audiences Last Week + Grab... Cardpocalypse free for a limited time!

Not much activity this week, but we're headed into the Halloween Horror Nights window here in Orlando... and the candy day vibes are starting to kick in. My toothbrush will be working overtime!

Shout out to Craig & Caleb, they were tearing up some tacos yesterday (going in). You know how you see someone tearing up some food and it just looks that good? Now it's Tuesday, and I'm on a mission... to see if my mom is in the mood to make some tacos! 

I (kinda sorta possibly) bought everything already, so I hope so... or I'll have to make them and know they could've been so much better. I'd be like Shawn Wayans when he played Ashtray in Don't Be a Menace... holding a taco up like WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Prayers up for everyone in Gary, Indiana and other locations facing power outages. We have an upcoming Tech This Out episode that some the everyday heroes will appreciate. Canada kicked a few teeth out this week!

Anyway... let's jump into the Top Audiences Last Week!

ABOUT THE CLOSED BETA PLAYTEST

Sign up for the Closed Beta Playtest and get ready to dive into NAUTUS for the first time ever via Steam starting on Monday, August 31, at 7 AM PDT! This playtest gives players a proper introduction to the game to experience its unique dual-layered gameplay loop:

• On the Surface: Catch your breath, meet and help quirky amnesiac locals, customize your tropical home base, manage resources, and engineer specialized submarine upgrades.
• Below the Surface: Pilot your upgradeable submarine into a beautiful yet dangerous underwater abyss, encounter mutant marine life, navigate environmental hazards, and gather rare materials to craft advanced machinery and gear.

During the playtest, you’ll create your own character, step into the world of NAUTUS and begin your adventure. You’ll meet eccentric locals, like the mayor and Mr. Golden, unlock your own submarine, explore the game's first biome, tackle main and secondary quests, and dive deep into core progression systems. Players can brave the ocean depths entirely on their own, or team up with up to three friends in four-player online co-op to uncover the mysteries of NAUTUS together!

ABOUT NAUTUS

From the indie studio behind Have a Nice Death and Unruly Heroes comes NAUTUS, a quirky underwater adventure where the surface is your cozy sanctuary, but the ocean floor is a whole different beast. Explore the abyss in your upgradable submarine, face strange creatures, gather resources, and recover mysterious artifacts to uncover what happened to the N.A.U.T.U.S. research team and your missing uncle. Return to the surface to craft, build, and befriend its eccentric inhabitants before diving even deeper -- solo or with up to three friends in online co-op.

Game Features

• Explore the Deep Unknown: Navigate breathtaking coral reefs, sunken pirate shipwrecks, and uncharted underwater anomalies that even the local N.A.U.T.U.S. scientists refuse to approach. Make sure to be ready to fight and capture strange creatures that should never have existed!
• Pilot Your Own Upgradable Submarine: Craft specialized modules, protective equipment, and vital weaponry as you take control and update your own submarine. Advance your tech to dive deeper into hostile trenches and defend against aggressive, mutant marine life.
• Adventure Solo or Dive into Online Co-Op Multiplayer: Uncover the mystery of NAUTUS and brave the ocean depths entirely on your own, or team up with up to three players in four-player online co-op and dive into this offbeat adventure together.
• Meet, Befriend and Uncover the Mysteries of a Quirky Cast of Inhabitants: Meet eccentric, amnesiac locals like a tanning-obsessed diver and a quirky expedition chief. Collaborate with them on unique and useful projects and recover lost artifact stones to cure their bizarre phobia of the ocean and restore them to their true selves.
• Solve a Sunken Mystery: Investigate the sudden disappearance of your uncle, Bernard Torpedo, by hunting for ancient relics, hidden clues, and secrets buried in the abyss. Will you uncover the mysteries of your uncle and this mysterious island?
• Develop and Customize a Unique Outpost: Transform a secluded tropical outpost into a thriving home base of your own. Set up vital crafting machinery to refine rare materials gathered from the deep, manage your resources strategically, and build the essential infrastructure needed to fuel your next sub-aquatic expedition.

NAUTUS is available to follow and wishlist now on Steam. For more information, please visit playnautus.com.

Fading Echo Is a Stylish Action-Adventure With Some Serious Splatoon Vibes!

Some games catch your attention before you even know exactly what they are. Fading Echo is one of those games.

Developed by Emeteria and published by New Tales, Fading Echo is a fast-paced action-adventure RPG starring One, a young Legend trying to stop the Paradox corruption from consuming her world. It launched on July 21, 2026 for PC and is available through Epic Games Store and Steam for $19.99.

 Is this just like Splatoon? 

No, this isn't Splatoon with a different name. But between the bright colors, fluid movement, stylish character designs, and the way liquids become part of both traversal and combat, it's easy to see why Fading Echo may catch the eye of Splatoon fans.

Water is actually one of One's main abilities. She can transform into a living sphere of water, surf through pipes, squeeze through small openings, launch water attacks, and combine water with environmental elements such as lava and toxic waste to create chain reactions. Observe:

One is a little more dangerous than a Super Soaker.

The adventure also takes place across fractured versions of the world of Corel. Moving between realities can change resources, hazards, and even how encounters work, giving players another wrinkle to consider while exploring and fighting.

For players who enjoy colorful 3D adventures, elemental abilities, platforming, and fast combat, Fading Echo looks like one worth putting on the radar—especially at its $19.99 asking price. Fading Echo is headed to consoles later this year.

FTS: Focus Entertainment to Publish "CLUTCH," an Open-World Racer Coming Spring 2027 to PC, PS5 & XSX

This game has badass written all over it!  

FOCUS ENTERTAINMENT PUBLISHING PARTNERS WITH MAVERICK GAMES
 TO PUBLISH CLUTCH, THE FORZA HORIZON VETERANS' NEXT OPEN-WORLD RACING GAME

PARIS – Aug. 24, 2026  – Focus Entertainment is pleased to announce a major publishing partnership with Maverick Games, an independent developer founded by award-winning game creators, for CLUTCH. The agreement strengthens Focus Entertainment’s portfolio with its first entry into the open-world racing space, driven by a shared ambition to deliver a standout experience and establish CLUTCH as a major new racing IP. CLUTCH is scheduled for release in Spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

CLUTCH puts players inside the double life of a new generation of racing outsiders - competing at the highest level of professional motorsport by day and entering a dangerous underground world of racing, reputation and pursuit by night.

With an original story from Jamie Brittain, co-creator of Skins, CLUTCH brings a new level of character-driven, cinematic storytelling to the open-world driving experience, alongside deep vehicle customization that gives players the freedom to express their style and shape their progression.

"At Focus, we look to partner with creators who are redefining their genre. Mike Brown and his team are regarded as one of the defining creative voices in the racing genre, and CLUTCH embodies exactly the creative ambition Focus Entertainment wants to champion," said Vincent Chataignier, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Focus Entertainment Publishing.

"We founded Maverick Games to build the open-world racing experience we'd dreamed about for years. Focus shares our creative bar and our ambition for CLUTCH, and we can't wait for players everywhere to discover this world," said Mike Brown, Founder & CEO of Maverick Games.

More information about CLUTCH is available on ClutchGame.com and on Steam.
