Momentum

Momentum is a blast from the past–a racing game with the 80’s neon lights style. This TRON-themed racer also features a mode that is slowly getting phased out: split-screen PVP. Players will race against their friends in this hover car drag racing game with grapple hooks that allow for maneuvers never seen before in the genre. With Momentum’s synth-pop soundtrack and luscious graphics, prepare for some trip.

Industria

Developer Headup’s prolific portfolio continues to proliferate. Industria is a fresh take on the first-person shooter genre. This game is set in an alternative reality in East Berlin in the waning moments of the Cold War.

At the moment when the historical fall of the Berlin Wall, a woman jumps into the parallel dimension in search of her missing workmate. She must investigate the mysterious disappearance of her colleague. Industria promises to present a profound story with an atmosphere that seems to rival first-person classics like System Shock and Bioshock. The soundtrack is as bizarre as its atmosphere with synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and melancholic vocals.

Festival Tycoon (Early Access)

Festival Tycoon is a sim management game for those who want to create and manage music festivals. In Festival Tycoon, players create a festival empire from the ground up. Initial efforts would be in a field with barely any festive things. By then, the player’s reputation will only rise as bands and sponsors rush to join the fray bringing the fans with them.

Festival Tycoon allows certain realities in gameplay like haggling for rates, arranging the band lineup, and being at the service of both the bands and the attendees. The window-based UI also optimizes the entire game for a clutter-free look.
