Overview
Description

Explore colorful, surreal landscapes as a friendly space worm, rescuing citizens and uncovering hidden secrets. The game blends music, art, and sandbox freedom into a relaxing single‑player journey across PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC. Hohokum offers a non‑linear adventure without traditional goals, encouraging players to wander, experiment with movement, and enjoy a soundtrack that reacts to their actions. Developed by Honeyslug, Richard Hogg, and SCE Santa Monica Studio, it delivers an indie‑style experience curated by Sony and Annapurna Interactive.

Nihilumbra is a atmospheric platformer that follows Born, a being born from the Void, as he journeys through five beautifully crafted worlds. Each world grants a new color that lets you paint the environment, altering physics and unlocking new paths. The game blends puzzle solving with precise platforming, requiring you to avoid enemies and use your color abilities to survive the relentless chase of the Void. Its minimalist controls and evocative art create a unique indie experience across multiple platforms.
