The Days are getting shorter, the leaves are falling from the trees, The fire is cracking in the fireplace, and you're covered in a blanket, holding hot cocoa in your hands. Are you comfortable? Well, it's about to get a whole heap warmer in here!
Welcome to Wired's Steam Autumn Sale. With scorching deals, up to 85% off!
Grab our cosy game and enjoy this most chill & melancholic time of the year.
Long time no speak, but we thought we would drop you an update on some languages we have turned on for anyone buying 'Vostok Inc.'
Tweeter user 进击的苦力怕 dropped us a message.
This got us scratching our heads and wondering why he wouldn't have access to this already. After a lot of troubleshooting and some guidance from 进击的苦力怕. We got to the bottom of it.
This means that the game now has Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese languages accessible from whichever Steam store you have bought it from. We have put a simple guide together on how you access these.
• Right-click the game in the Steam list, and select "Properties". Then use the "Language" drop-down box to select one of the recently included languages. The game will need a small update (~500KB) when the language is changed with this option. (English also covers French, German, and Spanish)
• If you have already generated a save file with another language, you will need to go to the in-game Language setting to change the language again.
• The "Simplified Chinese" option includes both Simplified and Traditional Chinese!
That means even more of you can chase the Moolah, Yen, Won and Yuan.

Meet and hire commanders and specialists that unlock new building options, units and stories.
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles requires a novel approach to building, something that isn’t about clicking over a screen but focusing on the world itself. In this sense, the game is one of experimental gameplay and controls, supported by a world and settlement that comes alive before your eyes.

Our friends at Rogue Sun have today launched Tin Hearts on Steam.
Step by step, Heart to heart, Left, right, left, We all fall down. Like toy soldiers.
To celebrate the launch of Tin Hearts, which last week saw an animated prequel story narrated by legend Stephen Fry, Artists Aisha Vaughan and Kieron Pepper collaborated with Black Razor Records, the indie music label founded by Wired Productions, to create a cover of iconic and classic Toy Soldiers by Martika. The devastating beautiful track perfectly encapsulates the emotion of Tin Hearts, winner of the ‘Most Anticipated Nintendo Switch Game’ accolade during Gamescom 2022.
Watch below:
Behind every brilliant invention, hides a magical story. Guide a troop of tin soldiers through a magical toy-filled world, in this immersive narrative puzzle adventure game from members of the team that brought you Fable.
March through 40+ levels of time-bending, soldier-routing riddles, using a variety of whimsical and inventive contraptions to bounce, shoot and glide them to their goal. Forge new paths for your toys to follow, and solve increasingly elaborate puzzles to unravel the emotional, thought-provoking story of love, loss and compromise centred around the family of Albert J. Butterworth, a genius inventor of Victorian times.
Tin Hearts is out now on PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, and the Xbox family of consoles.
PCVR, Meta Quest 2 and PSVR2 are set to be released later this year.
They're kick-starting their indie game celebrations in style with a week's worth of glorious primed and juicy content. Central to the party you’re all invited to, is Wired's biggest ever Steam Sale.
