A message from the Walk The Frog Studio:

Meeting players and sharing Froggo’s world has been an inspiring and challenging journey for both of us. We wanted to share our idea of a game story told on a sticky note puzzle since we first started in 2020. Finally, our last 365 days marked the beginning of many events and showcases, like the Indie Arena Booth at Gamescom ’25 and Steam Next Fest ’26, and each step felt like a huge milestone for our tiny team. We are incredibly happy to have found a partner in Bright Gambit at such short notice who understands our vision and has worked with us to take the final crucial steps leading up to the release of Walk The Frog. Every piece of feedback and every smile has encouraged us to keep going. We are so excited to now share the game with you and truly hope that Walk The Frog will find its audience around the world.

Oliver & Fabian – developers of Walk The Frog

A message from Bright Gambit:

We’re always eager to aid small teams that need just one final push to get their projects over the line and when Walk The Frog ended up on our table, we knew that this was a perfect fit for Bright Gambit. The stylistic charm and the elegant puzzle design managed to catch our attention immediately and we truly think people will see this as one of those small indie gems that leaves a long lasting impression.

Puzzler Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery Releasing May 13th

Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery, the hiss-terical noir detective puzzler from developer Nobody Crown, and publisher Devcats will be available PC via Steam on Wednesday, May 13th. Employ a sharp wit, and a sleuth’s whiskers, in the demo with more than 7,000 downloads, available now on Steam.
 

Investigate a whimsical catspiracy as the soft-boiled Detective, famous for crushing crime and a penchant for catnip. Investigate a once-thriving museum now turned grisly crime scene and uncover the truth behind an attempted heist-of-the-century. Sift through a litterbox of clues for key evidence and potential leads in order to unravel this complex case.
 

Was it the pig from out of town with a seedy past or, perhaps it was the stuck-up old schnauzer who’s always sniffing around! Add critical information to the detailed conspiracy board, but keep all the red string to a minimum — it’s way too much of a distraction. Interrogate suspects and cross-examine witnesses until you can fill every meowsterious blank.
 

“Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery blends satisfying deductive gameplay with an absurd amount of lighthearted humor,” said Eric Allen K., solo developer at Nobody Crown. “I’ve pulled inspirations from across the genre to craft a uniquely deep, but low pressure experience that will have aspiring feline investigators pondering (and chuckling) from the beginning to its unexpected end.”
 

Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery launches on Steam for Windows PC on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 for $9.99. For more information, visit the official website and follow the developer on Bluesky.

Wholesome Narrative Puzzle Game A Storied Life: Tabitha now available on Steam and Nintendo Switch

The pages are waiting. What will you fill them with? Wholesome narrative puzzle game A Storied Life: Tabitha is available now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch™ at a suggested retail price of $14.99/£12.99/$14.99, with a 10% launch discount on Steam.

Watch the trailer here

A Storied Life: Tabitha began as an idea from writer Cherish Goldstraw, who brought it to studio director Terry Goodwin and began developing it with a team within Lab42 Games. The team brought the game to publisher Secret Mode, who has worked with the studio on ports for games like A Little to the Left and Wobbledogs, and immediately fell in love with the watercolor aesthetics and unique narrative design.

A Storied Life: Tabitha takes you to Lavender Laithe, the former home of Tabitha, a recently-deceased loved one. Upon arriving, you discover that Tabitha has an agreement with a publisher to print her memoirs… which have just been damaged due to an unfortunate mishap. It’s up to you to go through the house and piece together Tabitha’s life, filling in the gaps left in her memoir pages using the items you find along the way.

Explore the house room by room and decide what you’ll keep, what should be sold, and what can be recycled. Move furniture and search through cupboards and drawers to find tucked-away items which may hold more intriguing memories. You only have one cardboard box for keepsakes per room, so prepare for difficult decisions as you choose which elements of Tabitha’s life you want to remember.

Fit all you can into your box, rotating and aligning items and reinforcing the box with tape when things get too heavy. Fold flexible objects like letters and stuff them into envelopes to save space. Fragile items can smash if not properly cushioned, so place them carefully among soft objects, or wrap them in bubble wrap to keep them secure. On the other hand, broken items aren’t the end of the world and may reveal new secrets…

Fill the gaps in Tabitha’s memoirs using the items you’ve chosen to save and uncover the many sides of this fascinating person. How she’s remembered is up to you – was she a caring mother? A budding botanist? A dabbler in the arcane arts? Write a coherent narrative to please the publisher or use a jumble of mismatched words to write something a little more avant-garde. Tabitha’s life is now your story to tell.

Return to Tabitha’s home multiple times to rewrite her story and find new facets to her life. Search every nook and cranny for hidden items and intriguing easter eggs. Or recycle everything and take nothing of Tabitha’s life with you. There are many choices to be made, and no right or wrong answers – only the memories you choose to keep.

“This has been one of the most fulfilling projects we’ve ever worked on, and we’re so excited to finally get the full game into player’s hands,” said Lab42 Games’ Terry Goodwin and Cherish Goldstraw. “We’ve been bowled over by the positive reception so far, and it’s been a pleasure watching people resonate with our little game. We hope they enjoy the full experience just as much.”

About A Storied Life: Tabitha
A Storied Life: Tabitha is a cozy narrative game about memory, legacy, discovery, and joy.
An elderly loved one has died, leaving you their estate and a letter encouraging you to sell any valuables. But when a mishap spoils their soon-to-be-published memoirs, you set out to repair the damage, piecing together their hidden past using the items you inherit.
