In The Spectrum Retreat, players awake to find themselves guests at the secluded and exclusive Penrose hotel. The Penrose is a peaceful place, but parts of it also feel unsettling and the player may not be free to leave. It’s up to to the player to discover the secrets of the uncanny hotel and how and why they appear to be trapped there.

To do so, the player will have to overcome color-coded puzzles, alter physics, and their own fear at discovering the truth. The Spectrum Retreat released to a fairly positive critical response when it came out on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in 2018, and it looks intriguing, so it will be interesting to see what a new audience thinks of the game when it becomes widely available.

Indie adventure game Stick It To The Man (yes, that is what it is called), will be launching on the Wii U and PlayStation 4 on April 30, the game’s publisher in the UK, Ripstone, have confirmed. Internationally, the Wii U version launches May 1, with the PS4 version following on April 6.

The game launched last November on PS3, PS Vita, and PC, and lets players take control of Roy Doewood, who has the ability to read people’s minds. In Ripstone’s own words, “Digging in the brains of his fellow citizens – including the likes of Santa Claus, a Pregnant General and Elvis (to name but a few); it’s up to Ray to gather clues from countless insane characters and solve mind-boggling puzzles – all while trying to escape the evil clutches of The Man!”

The Wii U version actually seems to be taking advantage of the console’s unique functionality for once, with the second screen being used to display the ‘mind reading world’ separately from the physical world; the PS4 version gets thoughts read out loud over the controller’s speaker.

No Xbox One version of the game is announced yet.

After a good measure of success on PSN and the PS Vita, where it was the 11th and 4th best selling game respectively for each platform, VooFoo Studios’ Pure Chess is heading to the PlayStation 4 in both Europe and North America. Check out the newest trailer of the game above.

As for what the game is about, well, it’s friggin’ chess. What else do you expect? Fortunately, it has a decent single-player campaign and multiplayer modes to play against your friends on. It should be noted that the game is apparently supposed to be out in Europe and North America for the PS4 and supports cross-play with the PS Vita version.

Pure Chess is also available on the PS3, 3DS, iOS, Android and Wii U, with the Nintendo platforms supporting cross-platform play. You can even play against mobile users and perhaps even with PlayStation users. Are you picking up this killer app? Let us know in the comments.

Indie puzzler Stick It To The Man, which won fans and critics alike over for its quirky gameplay style and sticker-style visuals, will be releasing for PlayStation 4 on April 30th in Europe and May 6th in North America via the PlayStation Store.

Developed by Zoink Games and published by Ripstone, Stick It To The Man on the PS4 will be in 1080p resolution and take advantage of the DualShock 4’s speaker to allow you to tap into other characters. The game centers on Ray, an ordinary everyday man who comes across a mysterious power that allows him to stick different objects to each other and read the minds of other people. Ray will come across and subsequently different agents working for “The Man” thanks to his new powers.

The game is already available for PC, PS3 and PS Vita. It will also be releasing for the Wii U in late Spring 2014.

“We’re launching Pure Chess and Knytt Underground later this year, and on Pure Chess we asked whether we could do cross-platform multiplayer, expecting it to be the typical closed console platform I’ve been used to working with for 20 years. Within a couple of days they said, ‘yep, no problem. You can have other console players playing against Wii U players. You can have smartphone players play against them. No problem.’”

The discussion till this point has gone till Sony, who is still yet to agree on cross-platform play for Pure Chess. “We’re still talking to Sony about them relaxing their policies, but we don’t think they’ll have any issue with it. So when we launch Pure Chess you’ll be able to play against Wii U, 3DS, iOS and Android players. And when we patch PlayStation those consoles will be added into the mix as well.”

As for Nintendo’s general indie policy, which hasn’t necessarily been has apparent as either Sony or Microsoft, Gaskell stated that it has “not been idle. They’re changing their policies on the technical side a lot swifter.”

However, this would definitely be the first time news has come out that Nintendo will allow playing with users from other consoles. Stay tuned for more details, along with an official confirmation from the company.
