A dragon will only help a farmer it trusts, and in Dragon Acres that trust is the difference between a struggling plot and a thriving farm. The cozy farming RPG from WyldFire Games and publisher indie.io gives players a free demo on Steam on November 17, offering a first chance to meet the dragons of the Dragon Isles.

The Dragon Isles are home to dragons with a fondness for treasure, an appetite for foraged snacks, and a soft spot for Hide and Seek. Win one over, and it becomes a true partner on the farm, because the happier a dragon is, the better the crops grow.

A dragon only lends a hand once it trusts the farmer, so running the farm starts with looking after the dragons: feeding them, spending time with them, and making them feel at home. That trust is what makes the crops flourish. That fondness for treasure has deep roots. In medieval lore, dragons guarded hoards, so it makes sense that the dragons of Dragon Acres love having nice things around! Players can craft decorations and arrange them across the farm, and each piece raises dragon happiness.

In the full game, players arrive on the Dragon Isles, following the trail of a grandmother whose legacy is tied to the bond between people and dragons. Answers given at the start of the journey decide whether their homestead sits in the Seaside, Cliffside, or Woodlands, and every dragon they raise brings its own talent to the farm. Some call down rain to keep fields watered, some use fire to boost harvests and power furnaces, and others zap pests with electricity before they reach the crops.

Between harvests, there are fish to catch for the market or the dragons’ dinner, villagers to befriend, quests to complete, and mines to explore by cart. The demo offers a first taste of that rhythm. Crops go in the ground, and while they grow, players forage for dragon food, decorate the farm, and set out to explore. The main demo quests take roughly 15 to 30 minutes to complete, and players can keep playing after the story wraps up. Much of the Dragon Isles is still waiting to be uncovered, which leaves plenty for the full game to reveal.

The Dragon Acres demo arrives on Steam on November 17, and the dragons are ready to meet their new farmers. Players can wishlist and follow Dragon Acres on Steam today.

Humanity’s last hope is now a mission you can step inside. Project Hail Mary: Journey Among the Stars is out now, a mixed-reality adventure that tells a previously untold chapter of Andy Weir’s bestselling sci-fi universe.

The immersive mixed reality experience launched on PICO, Android XR and Meta Quest 3/3S. It comes from Maze Theory, the award-winning London-based immersive entertainment studio behind Peaky Blinders: The King’s Ransom and Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.

Players step into the role of Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace and his friend and crewmate Rocky must work together in the face of disaster to keep the Hail Mary intact and bring their world-saving cargo to Eridani — Rocky’s home planet, and Grace’s new home.

It is a story of trust and communication between species. As this mixed-reality experience blends your physical environment with the Hail Mary itself, players diagnose problems, improvise solutions and push the limits of science and engineering to keep the mission alive.

Along the way, players work alongside Rocky to keep the mission alive, diagnose failing systems and improvise scientific solutions, and manage their ship and its precious cargo as they travel through the stars — experiencing humanity’s last hope firsthand.
