5 MAY, 2021 – Nongunz: Doppelganger Edition, the nihilistic action-platformer from indie developer Brainwash Gang and published by Digerati, launches this week on PC and console. It will be available from today, 5 May, on PS4, 6 May for Nintendo Switch, and 7 May on Xbox One, and PC (Steam, GOG, Humble, Green Man Gaming, Fanatical, and Nuveem). There will be a 20% launch discount for consoles, and 10% on PC.

Nongunz first launched on PC in 2017, with PS4 and Switch versions planned to follow. However, when Sindiecate – the game’s publisher at the time – vanished without a trace, the future for Nongunz and the planned console versions looked uncertain.

Following a chance encounter with Brainwash Gang at 35,000 feet (they were on the same flight), Digerati jumped at the opportunity to sign Nongunz and is thrilled to be able to give a remastered version of the game the full release it deserves across PC and, for the very first time, console.

Digerati is happy to confirm that anyone who owns the original Nongunz on Steam will receive a copy of Doppelganger Edition into their Steam Library absolutely free.

A roguelite wrapped inside a riddle, each run in Nongunz sees you parting from a black and white graveyard into an ever-changing gothic dungeon full of nightmares fleshed out of human viscera. Surviving not only requires skill but style, since Nongunz rewards you for long-lasting combos and challenges… moreover, score plays a key role in the progress of the idle game: the formation of your very own band of lost souls and death cultists.

4 MAY, 2021 – Indie publisher Digerati is delighted to announce it’s bringing Apsulov: End of Gods to consoles, with the game launching digitally for Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. Apsulov: End of Gods is currently scheduled to launch summer 2021.

Created by Sweden-based developer Angry Demon Studio, Apsulov: End of Gods brings together technology and Norse myth in an atmospheric first-person horror adventure. First launched on PC in 2019, Apsulov was the recipient of an Epic Mega Grant, and won DreamHack’s ‘Best Horror’ award.

“We worked incredibly hard to create a rich, atmospheric world for Apsulov, and the response we’ve had from PC players is a great source of pride for us,” says Angry Demon Studio CEO, John Kalderon. “It’s always been our aim to bring the game to consoles, so we’re thrilled that it’s finally happening and console owners will soon get a chance to discover the secrets of Yggdrasil for themselves.” 

In addition to the digital versions, Digerati has partnered with publisher Perp Games to bring Apsulov: End of Gods physical editions to console formats, including PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The physical versions will include the game, and downloadable soundtrack and artbook.

“Anyone who has played Apsulov on PC will know its atmospheric blend of horror and sci-fi wrapped in the lore of Norse mythology makes for a potent combination,” says Digerati director, Nick Alfieri. “It’s a game that absolutely deserves to exist in the physical realm as well as the digital, so we’re happy to be working with Perp Games to make that happen.” 

“This is no ‘typical’ haunted house game. Angry Demon Studio has created a real horror game steeped in Norse mythology,” said Rob Edwards, Managing Director at Perp Games. “It is a pleasure to work with Angry Demon Studio and Digerati to publish the physical versions of this incredibly atmospheric horror game.”

The Apsulov: End of Gods physical editions will be available to purchase from Perp Games starting summer 2021.
