Hamburg, Germany, 25. October 2022 – After a successful stint on PC, the murderous cooking sim Godlike Burger is headed towards the next stop on its journey to find the most delicious alien burgers. On November 2nd, players can become a space-traveling chef and manage their intergalactic diner on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox in this dark and humorous management game.

In Godlike Burger players attempt to create the best burger in the galaxy using only the most delicious ingredients available – their own customers! Players have to lure customers into traps and then turn them into delicious patties, manage their restaurant – and avoid getting caught. By catering to their customers’ preferences for different kinds of alien meat, upgrading the kitchen and their repertoire, they improve their restaurant’s reputation and can afford to travel to new planets. But they should never stay in one place too long because the space police are always on the lookout for the crazy culinarian with a bloody cleaver.

Key Features

• Kill your customers with a range of hidden traps or the good old meat cleaver! Their delicious meat is your special ingredient after all.
• Cook the best burgers and turn your pitiful burger joint into the universe’s most famous restaurant.
• Improve your kitchen and find out what each alien race likes – uncover the secret of the perfect burger.
• Explore the galaxy and its worlds. There are different alien species and their individual strengths and weaknesses to discover.
• Don’t get caught! Leave no witnesses and keep the police’s suspicion low by playing and planning smartly.

Godlike Burger will release on Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 2nd.

25 OCTOBER, 2022 – Be a zoomy raccoony in Tanuki Sunset, the chill longboarding game with a breezy, retro vibe coming soon to consoles courtesy of publisher Digerati. Tanuki Sunset will launch 2nd November on PlayStation, and 4th November for Xbox.

A Nintendo Switch version is being self-published by developer Rewind Games and will be released at a later date (still TBC).

The debut title from Vancouver based studio, Rewind Games, Tanuki Sunset reflects the two man team’s shared love of listening to music while cruising on their longboards. It started to take shape as a game concept when they noticed a gap in the market, as co-creators Adir Fakiro and Jose Maria Leon explain:

“After stumbling upon videos of downhill longboard sessions, we came to realize there aren’t many games based on the sport. We instantly started imagining a raccoon grinding his paws on tarmac trying to drift down a windy road at high speeds. Who doesn’t love raccoons? They’re little daredevils and trouble makers.”

Tanuki Sunset is already available on PC and currently has a ‘Very Positive’ user rating on Steam, with 94% positive reviews.

About the game

Tanuki Sunset is a fun, arcade-style longboarding game starring a radical, thrill-seeking raccoon! Get into a flow state and master the art of drifting as you speed downhill – dodging traffic, catching air, and nailing tricks – in a bid to become the first raccoon to complete Sunset Island’s legendary longboard trail!

Key Features

• Race the trail, with stages set across Sunset Peaks, Midnight City, and Sunrise Beach
• Friendly control scheme makes it easy to pick up, play, and get in the zone
• Try multiple modes, including story mode, endless mode, score, and time trials
• Collect Tanuki Bits as you race, and spend them on new gear at Bob’s Skate Shop
• Enjoy a colorful, retro art style and a laid-back sun-kissed soundtrack
