Welcome to your own little cheat sheet for what got the spotlight at the Akupara Direct — the publishers first ever dedicated direct celebrating its ten-year anniversary. Don’t forget to check out the full show here for all the twists, turns, and cool announcements.
The next title from Paul Hart and Lee Williams, the developer duo behind Cryptmaster. Bonespire is a whimsical-dark crafting simulation game where you forge ancient artifacts, brew dubious potions, and decipher ancient scrolls atop your own wizard tower. Recurring visitors arrive to trade, and your choices ripple out to reshape the world below—all seen from your tower window. Coming soon to PC.
The next release from Videocult, the team behind Rain World. Airframe Ultra vibes as a retro combat racer where you make your racer, hop on your airframe (hoverbike), and fight your way through the streets of Megacity West with pipes, chains, katanas, and whatever else you can get your hands on. Online multiplayer racing is only half of it…you can get knocked off your bike, brawl on foot, and steal your friend’s ride!
Launching November 5th on PC.
Working with Montabi
A free desktop companion from Mankibo, the team behind Montabi.
