Overview
Description

Days Gone is an action-adventure survival horror game set in a post-apocalyptic Oregon. Players control Deacon St. John, a bounty hunter fighting to survive against hordes of Freakers, the zombie-like creatures that have devastated the world. The game features a vast open world to explore, a variety of missions and side quests, and a dynamic weather system and day-night cycle that affects gameplay.

The Showdown Effect is a 2.5D multiplayer action game that draws inspiration from 80’s and 90’s action movies. Players pick iconic champions from different eras and fight in chaotic, arena‑style battles. The game blends platforming, shooting, and comedic sci‑fi elements, delivering quick rounds and a nostalgic pixel‑art style that rewards fast reflexes and strategic positioning.
