The Devil’s Due is out now on Steam, and it wants players to cheat. The poker roguelite from Norwegian indie studio Games People Play puts players in a card battle against the Devil himself, after gambling away their soul in a high-stakes poker match, and the only way out is to outplay, outcheat and out-bluff the demons of Hell. It costs $14, with a 20% launch discount for the first two weeks.

Cheating is not a shortcut here; it is the core of the game. Players can conceal and swap cards, boost their values and sabotage the enemy’s hand, but every trick raises suspicion. “We’re not going to tell you that cheating is good or bad,” said Jack Kristoffersen, co-founder of Games People Play. “We’re just going to give you the tools to do it and let you deal with the consequences.” If the suspicion meter fills, the enemy launches a counterattack, so the riskiest plays carry the biggest rewards and the biggest dangers.

The combat itself runs on poker. The strength of a player’s poker hand determines how much damage they deal, while the sum of their card values sets their defence, so every hand is both an attack and a shield. Between battles, players can scam the shops, take on minigames and collect tarot cards, with a new card offered at each level of Hell. The game descends through the seven layers of Hell, each one guarded by demons inspired by the seven deadly sins, and its animation draws on the cut-out style of Terry Gilliam and Monty Python.

The Devil’s Due comes from Games People Play, a studio founded in 2021 by game designer Jack Kristoffersen and music composer Joachim Barrum. Early reviews have praised its style and its systems: Gaming Boulevard called it “a devilishly good time”, while EDGE described it as “a wickedly moreish and surprisingly strategic good time”. The game is also available in bundles with Degenerate Gamblers, Decktamer, Card Shark and Rune Dice. Players can watch the launch trailer below.

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.
