⚙️ Major Updates
We haven’t forgotten about the games you already love! As part of the publisher sale, we’re also rolling out significant updates for some of our most popular titles:
Gatekeeper
The Interplanetary Store update introduces major changes: the return of Prisms with new ways to collect them, an expanded artifact selection in obelisks, larger locations with no loading screens, and the option to summon the Siren at your convenience. Look out for Conflict Altars for extra challenges, a new location called Delta, and the all-new Triads mechanic, which lets you combine artifacts for powerful effects.
The first major update for the game adds 4 new weapons to the Supporter Pack DLC, the Fog of War gameplay mutator to the base game, fixes the infamous "enemies react to everything, but refuse to move" bug, and improves various aspects of the game.
New locations, new items, new contracts, and new areas to explore. But also... New enemies: both regular and quasimorphic. New factions fighting for dominance in the Solar System and three new Bramfaturas! Plus, added difficulty settings, barter improvements, and the ability to choose sides in any conflict.
Dive into the ultimate tactical experience with the Intravenous 2 and Police Stories.
This package offers two top-down shooters that emphasize strategy and precision. Whether you're slipping through the shadows or making life-or-death decisions as a cop, these games will challenge your wits and reflexes.
Perfect for fans of stealth and tactical action games!
Take care of yourselves and enjoy the game, folks!
Intravenous Part 1 is Free to Grab for 24h during HypeTrain Summer Sale
Hi everyone!
Missing the Summer Sale already? So are we, that's why HypeTrain is throwing its own: from July 15 to July 29, most of the publisher's games will be available at a nice discount. Don't miss your chance to restock your Steam library with some indie gems!
But that's not all, we've also got some freebies prepared for you! An old-school stealth action game Intravenous 2 is hitting Steam on August 15 - to mark the occasion, the first installment in the series, Intravenous, will be available to grab for free within 24 hours starting now!
Lastly, if you happen to enjoy base-building and automation games, be sure to play the free prologue by our friends at Loonworks Games - Prospector: The First Contract.
We're aware that no one likes to read long off-topic updates, so let's get straight to the point: two of our games will be participating in the upcoming Steam Next Fest, and we'd love it if you'd give their demos a chance. We can't promise a complete match to your tastes, but the quality is guaranteed.
The first one is Die in the Dungeon, a turn-based roguelike game where you don't use cards, but dice. Deal with enemies by combining powerful dice on your board, boost their effects with magical relics, and risk it all hoping for a good roll on unexpected encounters. Oh, and the protagonist here is a cute little frog - everyone loves frogs, right?
The second one is Intravenous 2, an old-school tactical stealth action game. Will you embrace the shadows or confront your foes head-on? The choice is yours. Save lives. Uncover secrets. Take vengeance. If you're up for some hardcore challenge - don't miss it, you'll dig it for sure.
This post should have ended here, as there is no third game for the Fest. BUT there is a third, freshly revealed game that we would still like to present to you, so here we go:
Canyons is a third-person extraction shooter set in a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic world where survival is only possible in the canyons. Play solo or gather a team of up to four players. Arm yourselves to the teeth, grab supplies, and set out to conquer the canyons on massive Crawlers. This one won't have a demo anytime soon, but if it's up your alley, be sure to wishlist the game so you don't miss out on it.
Cheers, and we wish you as many exciting games as possible!
Get 65% off Police Stories during HypeTrain Digital Publisher Sale

Just to be clear: even if you went through Police Stories backwards and forwards, The Academy still has much to offer for experienced players. This free version of the game throws us back to the times when Rick and John were still green trainees just learning to be cops, and features a new story, three new missions and locations. So make sure to check it out – and don’t forget you can bring a friend, since The Academy supports co-op too! Two heads are better than one, right?
Okay, we’ll not hold you up any longer – it’s time for you to relive old times, reload your guns and search for a "rat" in a brutal world of Police Stories: The Academy. Good luck!

After reviewing your feedback, we updated the Zombie Case DLC to make the gameplay more enjoyable for you:
Made the zombies slightly weaker than before, but they're still a serious threat;
Redesigned zombie missions: a) Changed zombie spawners and suspects; b) Overall, there are more zombies and civilians, but fewer bandits; c) Some rooms now only have zombies in them;
Fixed a bug with using a defibrillator on a partner in cooperative mode;
Missions will now not end as long as at least one infected person remains on the map to avoid conflicts at the end of the level;
We tried for you, so thanks again for the feedback!
P.S. And don't forget to add the free Police Stories: The Academy prologue to your wishlist, which will be out soon!
Today we have made small changes to improve the balance and gameplay in the Zombie Case DLC:
Increased the viewing radius of the zombies. Now they will attack the suspects in the room more often, rather than attacking the policeman immediately. But the logic of their behavior is the same - they attack those who are closer;
The time limit for the time bonus on all missions from Zombie Case and Story of Charlie McDennis has been increased.
These are not the latest innovations to improve gameplay with zombies, which we will be adding to the game soon. We hope that your opinion on the DLC will be better because we are trying for you.
With love, the Police Stories team.
P.S. And don't forget to add the free Police Stories: The Academy prologue to your wishlist, which will be out soon!
