The second wave follows a previous list of titles announced earlier in August, all of which are already available.
Among the titles available from today (August 19) is Vapor World: Over the Mind, which is billed as “a narrative-driven souls-like platformer focused on deflection combat”. The official synopsis teases: “Descend into a shattered mind seeking lost memories. Face the dark, beautiful world born of sorrow and regret.”
And coming tomorrow (August 20) is Starsand Island, which invites players to “return to the tranquil embrace” of the titular island, a place where you can “immerse yourself in a serene pastoral lifestyle”. There, you’ll spend “slow-paced days bonding with adorable capybaras, cats and dogs [while] savouring the thrill of bountiful fishing, exploring the mystical Moonlit Forest, or simply soaking in the island’s untouched beauty.”
