Card Corner Is an Idle Poker Deckbuilder That Lives in the Corner of Your Screen

By

10 March 2026

Card Corner is a poker-inspired idle deckbuilder designed to sit in a small corner of your screen while you’re doing literally anything else, quietly ticking along until you glance back and realise you’ve become seriously invested in a run.

It’s out now on PC via Steam, published by Assemble Entertainment and developed by Conradical Games.

What it is

Card Corner mixes poker hands with idle progression, incremental upgrades, and deckbuilding. Cards are dealt, chips roll in over time, and you decide how hands, upgrades, and modifiers evolve as you go.

It’s built to support two types of play:

Passive: Let it run, check in when you feel like it
Active: Jump in to optimise your build and steer upgrades

The progression loop

This is where the “oh no” part gets you.

You level up, unlock deck mods and bonuses, stack permanent upgrades, and when you’re ready (or when the game humiliates you), you can reset a run to earn Ascendium for cross-ascension upgrades.

Steam lists 114 achievements, which is either a delight or a threat, depending on your personality.

The tiny window thing

The signature gimmick is that it runs in a small, resizable corner of your screen, and you can adjust size and position to fit your setup. It’s meant to be “always on, never in the way.”

Price and Platform

Out Now: PC (Steam)
Launch Price: the announcement lists €4.99 (regional pricing varies)
There’s also a Steam Demo (content up to level 15).

Neon Abyss 2 Adds Aphrodite, a Weapon Affix System, and an “Infinite Energy” Option

Neon Abyss 2 is doing what Early Access roguelites do best. Adding one new shiny thing that immediately convinces you to start a fresh run, then punishing you for believing in yourself.

A new content update is live now on Steam, bringing in Aphrodite as a new boss, a much deeper Weapon Affix System, a reworked Patch system, and an “Infinite Energy” accessibility option for players who want (or need) their pocket to have a little more oomph.

Aphrodite joins the boss roster

Aphrodite is being introduced as a new boss encounter, framed as “seductive” and dangerous in the update notes. Oh lawd.

The big change: Weapon Affix System

This is the real “okay, I’m back in” feature.

Weapons now have affixes

Weapons come with fixed affixes plus random dynamic affixes that can roll things like damage bonuses, resource bonuses, and unique mechanics. Higher weapon levels increase the chance and strength of those dynamic affixes.

Rarity tiers are now part of the chase

Affixes and weapons have rarity tiers. Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary. Higher rarity means stronger effects and a clearer “build goal” feeling during a run.

Tempering adds more flexibility

On top of existing upgrade choices, you can now Temper your weapon to add a new affix, which opens up more paths mid-run without relying purely on luck.

Patch system revamp, plus Infinite Energy

The Blackdog Patch system has been reworked to improve flow based on feedback, shifting to a charge-based approach (bosses charging patches) in the recent update messaging.

And the big accessibility-related addition. An “Infinite Energy” option has been added in settings. The dev notes warn it will significantly reduce difficulty, but the important part is that the option exists.

G Flip & The Beaches Press Photo by Meg Moon

G Flip and The Beaches have teamed up for a new single, ‘LEZ GO!‘, and it’s built for yelling at your best mate in the crowd like you’re trying to permanently tattoo gratitude onto their soul.

‘LEZ GO!’ is out now via AWAL Recordings, and it’s landed right in the middle of G Flip’s biggest-ever Australian headline run. The track has already been performed live with The Beaches at the Brisbane and Sydney shows.

G Flip and The Beaches have history. G previously co-wrote The Beaches’ track ‘Last Girls at the Party’, and ‘LEZ GO!’ is the continuation of that back-and-forth. G sent over a rough demo. The Beaches jumped on, wrote and recorded the second verse, and it became the five-way collaboration it is now.

The vibe is simple and generous. It’s a joyful anthem about bigging up the people you love. The “I have your back, loudly, in public” kinda vibe, which I absolutely need to see more often.

Perth Date

Perth/Boorloo, you’re on the run, and it’s outdoors at Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre. Aaay.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Shows Off Daemons of Slaanesh and Death Guard in a New Gameplay Trailer

If you thought the first Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun was going to politely calm down in the sequel, absolutely not. Boltgun 2 has dropped a new gameplay trailer, confirming the return of a fan-favourite nemesis and giving us our first proper look at the Daemons of Slaanesh and the Death Guard you’ll be purging when the gloriously retro FPS launches later this year.

And yes, it’s still doing that delicious 90s throwback thing where everything explodes into chunky pixels, and you feel morally compelled to shout “FOR THE EMPEROR” at your monitor.

Slaanesh Returns (And So Does the Gross Part of the Internet)

The trailer reveals the Daemons of Slaanesh and Death Guard among the enemies you’ll face, alongside familiar nuisances like Nurglings and Chaos Cultists.

If you’re a Boltgun sicko (complimentary), you already know what this means. Fast movement, brutal weapons, and a bestiary that keeps escalating until your brain is just a fog of adrenaline and holy violence.

Watch Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 – Slaanesh Reveal Official Trailer

Two Playable Characters This Time

Boltgun 2 picks up where the first game left off, but it’s expanding the structure into a branching single-player campaign, and you’ll choose between two leads:

Sister of Battle Nyra Veyrath
Ultramarine Malum Caedo

Each has its own weapons, abilities, and playstyle, which is extremely good news if you like replaying a campaign just to see how differently it breaks when you change your build and go feral in a new direction.

Enemies: Old Annoyances, New Nightmares

Beyond Nurglings and cultists, the trailer calls out a few more nasties:

Bloodletters
Juggernauts
Daemons of Slaanesh
Death Guard

The pitch is basically: you will kill a lot of things, and then you will kill bigger, worse things.

Platforms and Release Window

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is launching later this year on:

PC
PS5
Xbox Series X|S

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes Drops a Gunstar Weapons Trailer

3 March 2026

If you’ve been craving a game that makes you feel like you’re one bad call away from getting everyone killed (affectionate), Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is leaning hard into that energy.

Developer Alt Shift (Crying Suns) and publisher Dotemu (MARVEL Cosmic Invasion) have released a new Gunstar weapons trailer showing off the four ship classes you’ll command as your fleet tries to stay alive under relentless Cylon pursuit.

And yep, it looks like the exact sort of tactical roguelite that will have you whispering “okay, one more run” at 1:30 am like an absolute liar. Again and again and again.

What Scattered Hopes actually is

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is pitched as a tense tactical challenge built around life-or-death decisions, where you’re leading a fleet of ships fleeing the Cylons. It’s roguelite in structure, so you’ll be making choices run-by-run while trying to keep your people (and your ships) intact.

The new trailer focuses on the Gunstar vessels under your command, and how their different roles can keep the fleet alive when the Cylon threat is doing the most.

The four Gunstar classes, explained like we’re planning a disaster

You’ll unlock the full fleet as you progress, and each Gunstar is built for a different job:

Callisto (Assault Gunstar)

The all-rounder. Solid, versatile, and probably the one you keep leaning on when your brain is fried, and you can’t cope with fancy plans.

Ares (Carrier Gunstar)

Built around rapid Squadron management. If you like juggling units and feeling powerful for ten seconds before everything explodes, this one’s for you.

Erebus (Electronic Warfare Gunstar)

An electronic warfare specialist designed to counter Cylon tech. This sounds like the “I’m going to outsmart the robots” option. Bold. Dangerous. Hot.

Atalanta (Artillery Gunstar)

Long-range bombardment. Big “delete that thing over there” energy. If there’s a safe way to handle a crisis in space, it usually starts with artillery.

Demo available now in Steam Next Fest

If you want to get hands-on, the game’s debut playable demo is part of Steam Next Fest, so you can try evading the Cylons right now.

(We love a demo. We also fear what it does to our free time.)

Michael Cloud Duguay and Mathias Kom Share ‘Closed City’, the Final Track From Their New Collaborative Album

Mathias Kom and Michael Cloud Duguay by Noah Bender

Michael Cloud Duguay has teamed up with Mathias Kom (The Burning Hell) for a new collaborative album, Closed City, and they’ve just released its title track, ‘Closed City’, ahead of the album’s release on 27 March via Watch That Ends The Night Records.

If you’ve been following Unruly Folk for a while, you might remember we previously interviewed Michael through Scions, so this one immediately grabbed my attention.

What ‘Closed City’ is about

‘Closed City’ serves as the album’s final statement. Disconnection, isolation, and a permanent inward turn. The central line, “We proclaim our home forever closed,” sets the tone. This isn’t a place being shut out. It’s a place choosing to shut itself in. Can’t blame ’em.

The song ends without harmonic resolution, tying into Duguay’s stated goal of “no closure in a closed place.”

Duguay describes the ending as echoing the discordant overtones of an out-of-tune piano and evoking a distant foghorn.

The collaboration behind the project

Duguay and Kom have been friends and collaborators since the mid-2000s, working closely in the early years of Kom’s The Burning Hell before losing touch for more than a decade. They reconnected in 2021, and Closed City is their first full-length album together.

The record was composed during a two-week artist residency in January 2024 on a remote eastern archipelago in Finland’s North Karelia region. The concept was informed by Kom’s research into Soviet-era “closed cities,” intentionally isolated settlements removed from official maps and populated by residents sworn to secrecy.

The album was later produced in St. John’s, Newfoundland, recorded over five days in a decommissioned church, and mixed by Canadian noise musician and scholar Ky Brooks.

The Skin Stapler Is Already Causing Problems (Good Ones)

By

25 February 2026

If ya fancy being dropped into a grimy VHS you found behind a servo, I think you might to give The Skin Stapler a crack.

Announced by Assemble Entertainment and solo dev Tainted Pact Games, this is a neon-lit, PSX-style grindhouse detective horror adventure heading to PC via Steam in 2026. You play Detective Dick Slater, a cop with a bad temper, a worse past, and a city that looks like it’s been sweating since 1987.

The case starts ugly and then promptly gets uglier, with stitched flesh, distorted audio tapes, and a killer going by The Skin Stapler, which is not subtle, and that’s kind of the point.

Also, the demo’s already doing laps. The announcement says it’s trending in itch.io’s horror category, sitting on a 96% score on Steam, and it’s been picked up for full YouTube playthroughs by MoistCr1TiKaL and CaseOh. That’s the sort of early buzz that turns into “everyone’s talking about this, and I’m late” overnight. Get on it.

What’s The Situation Here?

Carrion City is described as an 80s fever dream, and everyone looks guilty even when they’re probably just buying a kebab. It’s noir, but not the classy trenchcoat noir. More like “my shoes are sticky and I regret everything” noir.

The story follows Slater trying to keep his grip while chasing a killer who leaves grotesque displays and those taunting tapes you absolutely should not listen to alone. The game also shifts into other characters’ perspectives as things spiral outward, which is always a fun little horror trick because it means you’re never fully settled. Just vibes and dread and then, surprise, you’re someone else now.

Why People Are Clicking With The Demo

The devs are pitching this as a short, focused horror experience built to be finished in one sitting, with atmosphere doing the heavy lifting. That’s a big win for anyone who loves horror but doesn’t have the emotional bandwidth for a 40-hour slow descent into despair. ADHD’ers, rejoice!

They’re also leaning hard into PSX-style visuals and grindhouse slasher energy, with that neon decay look that makes everything feel slightly cursed. If you’ve ever said “I want a horror game that looks like it was filmed on a haunted camcorder” out loud, congratulations, the universe heard you.

Where Can We Play It?

It’s coming to PC via Steam, and there’s a playable demo available now. So you can absolutely ruin your own evening worldwide. Love that for us.
