Hey,

We’re really excited to announce The Spectrum Retreat, a narrative driven first-person puzzle game developed by Dan Smith Studios. The game has been in development for 5 years, with the prototype winning the BAFTA YGD Game Making Award in 2016 when Dan was just 18 years old.

Upon check-in to The Penrose hotel it becomes clear than not all is as it seems. Your exploration of the hotel begins to uncover the reality of your current situation, but your desire to uncover the truth is obstructed by a series of puzzles, physics challenges and narrative riddles.

Today we’re sharing a first look at the unsettling environment that sits at the core of The Spectrum Retreat and also a taster of the challenging puzzles you will face during your stay. We'll also be live on Twitch at 4pm BST today with Dan, developer of The Spectrum Retreat, for an exclusive first look at the gameplay.

Thanks!

We’ve teamed up with the allied powers of tabletop star Modiphius and veteran strategy game developer Auroch Digital to bring the award-winning Achtung! Cthulhu tabletop series to PC, in the new video game: Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics – The Forest of Fear, later this year.

Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a turn-based strategy RPG in which the player fights a desperate battle in the shadows of World War II against the Nazis and their inhuman allies. We are working with Auroch Digital and Modiphius to fund the core game and can’t wait to share more development updates with you in the coming months. We are also looking for some extra support to add the Pathfinder Demon Hunter warriors into the game – and your support buys war bonds, guns, ammo, and spiritual warfare to fight the good fight!

Find out how you can be involved!

We’re incredibly excited to be working with Auroch Digital and Modiphius to make Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics a reality and can’t wait for you to join us on this journey through the Cthulhu mythos.

The Ripstone holiday elves have been working extra hard this year and have prepared a special Christmas gift for you all to enjoy…

As a special festive treat for fans of Chess Ultra, we launched the Easter Island chess set today, for free! The Easter Island chess set is inspired by the mysterious Moai of Easter Island, Polynesia. These head-like, monolithic chess pieces have been beautifully crafted, bringing the Moai not only to life – but to the chess board. The set comes with two material variants; rock and metal, and can be played in any environment within Chess Ultra.

You can download the free DLC using the link below, and we really hope you enjoy taking to the board with a brand new set.
