Undying Flower Now Available on Steam

[Indonesia] May 16, 2025 — Undying Flower, the debut title from Indonesian indie studio Calcatz, has been released on Steam. Published by indie.io, this emotionally charged interactive narrative invites players to confront grief, trauma, and buried guilt through the surreal journey of a young woman named Nala. Blending exploratory gameplay with symbolic storytelling, players follow Nala as she’s guided by a mysterious entity known only as The Flower, and must relive the most painful moments of her past in search of peace. Request a Key for Undying Flower

The story begins with an experimental treatment that allows Nala to enter a dreamlike realm where memory and emotion shape reality. In this world, players explore pivotal moments from both Nala’s life and the life of her late grandfather, experiencing two sides of the same tragic memory. Through interactive storytelling, players piece together what happened between them and whether anything can be changed.


At the heart of this experience is the Memory World: a space constructed entirely from Nala’s recollections, shaped by The Flower’s interpretation of her past. Initially a blank void, this world gradually fills with emotionally charged objects known as Memory Fragments. Some float in the space like fleeting impressions, while others are grounded, vividly detailed, and tied to specific moments. These fragments—along with symbolic statues and color-coded emotional cues—create a layered, abstract environment where emotion outweighs realism, and every element carries a story.

While the journey Nala takes is surreal and dreamlike, the regret that drives it stems from something painfully human: a misunderstanding between two people who love each other. Undying Flower explores how something as simple as a single argument—a moment that could happen in any family—can spiral into a lifelong source of guilt. That tension between the ordinary and the otherworldly is what gives the story its emotional weight.

“Undying Flower is a story of ‘What if,’” says Eien Nagi, Game Director at Calcatz. “What if a simple misunderstanding—something as ordinary as an argument—could lead to the biggest regret of your life? Regret is irreversible. But what if you were given a chance to change it… would it really go the way you want? We’re excited to see how players interpret the story, sit with the emotions, and reflect on what it means to forgive.”

Players can experience the surreal and emotional journey today on Steam for USD $9.99, with a limited-time discount where players can save 10%.  Join the conversation and share your reflections with the developers on X/Twitter and their Steam Community.

  • Collect Alien Creatures –  Intergalactic Hoarders can also use their Lasso to Capture and Collect dozens of strange creatures, then go visit them once they’re relocated “happily placed” in Pens outside your customizable space trailer in scenic Nu Florida.  After all, who is the real dangerous enemy, the corporate profiteers who fired you or a slimy exploding alien creature? 
  • SAVAGE PLANET FRANCHISE – Originally released on Xbox, PS4, Epic Games Store, Steam, Stadia and Switch platforms enabling fun space adventures for millions of players across the globe.  The original game earned multiple awards as a humorous, cooperative indie adventure, Typhoon Studios captured attention of press, creators and earned its Very Positive consumer ratings and Critics endorsements.

Devolver Digital’s The Crush House Premieres Today on Steam

Acclaimed video game developers Nerial (Reigns) and TV owners Devolver Digital are rolling back the years for the long-awaited launch of 1999’s hottest reality TV show, The Crush House. Available now on Steam for $16.99, The Crush House casts players in the role of Jae, the newest camerawoman tasked with giving the people what they want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2337820/The_Crush_House/

Jae may have just scored the gig of her dreams, but the demands are high and the stakes are even higher. She must cast, film and produce each season of The Crush House, capturing all the drama, fighting, tension and romance in the show’s iconic mansion.

Trailer: https://youtu.be/ptoBACU80WY

But remember: no matter what, the demands of your audience must be met. If not, you run the risk of cancellation. With dozens of micro-audiences to entertain, you’ll have to be strategic to capture them all. You can’t please all the people all of the time, but you’ll have to try.

Choose between 12 eccentric personalities and find your four-person cast for each season’s run. Mix and match conflicting personalities or complementary attractions and watch as tensions run and sparks fly. Catch the best stuff on camera and watch your ratings soar.

Entertainment this good isn’t free, however, so remember to put down the camera and pull up some tasteful TV ads to keep the cash flowing in. You might lose a few viewers, but you can use the extra revenue generated to furnish the house and mix things up for both the audience and the cast.

As if running a hit TV show wasn’t enough, there’s more to The Crush House than meets the eye. Jae can explore the mansion at night when the show goes off-air, engaging in forbidden conversations with the cast to figure out the many dark and twisted secrets of The Crush House.

Do you have what it takes to crush it?

Spiral releasing on Steam and Xbox on September 20th, 2024

Folklore Games announced their narrative-adventure game, Spiral, will arrive on Steam and Epic for a PC Release + Xbox for console, as a self-published title. Taking players on an emotional journey, this is a story that offers a unique perspective on cognitive degeneration, told by the individual experiencing it.

Release Date Trailer – Spiral – September 2024

Spiral puts players in the shoes of Bernard Penfield, an introverted writer who is coming to the end of his journey but invites you to go back to the beginning and help him re-experience his memories one last time. Exploring the memories of Bernard at different phases in his life, players will also meet a cast of diverse characters in his family and friends who guide him through life’s biggest moments. While the cognitive degeneration will gradually become more present within the story, exploring his memories thoroughly may help Bernard to hold onto details longer and share things that might otherwise be lost forever.

“We’re so proud of Spiral; events and interactions with people made us understand the why behind our project even more. It has been helping people to talk about their grief, opening a discussion and bringing people to see the person behind the sickness. Spiral will hopefully be that window where people can share their own story with cognitive degeneration and make us all more aware of the loneliness of it all and how much our presence can help.” – Mikhael, Creative Director

Releasing on Steam at $23.99 USD, Spiral will be available for purchase at 10 AM EST on September 20th, 2024. In the meantime, gamers can also pick up the free demo and add it to their wishlist. Following its PC and Xbox Release, the game will also be available for purchase on PS5 and Switch at a later date.
