• Adjust your ship’s equipment to your custom built challenges.
• Team up with friends for local coop play.

Charlie Nash has been a fan favorite character in the Street Fighter series for years and finally makes his comeback in Street Fighter V, although noticeably a little... different.

Gamesoft, a brand new Australian development studio based in Sydney, has today announced its debut game, Clockwork, published by Appsquare. A beautiful, atmospheric 2D platform adventure, Clockwork promises a touching, melancholy narrative experience supported by challenging time-manipulation puzzles.

Says Vishal Gumber, CEO of Gamesoft, "Tucked away in the busy lanes of Sydney's oldest suburb, the talented team at Gamesoft has worked tirelessly for the last eight months on this mind-boggling game.

"Clockwork is by no means an indie game, even though it is Gamesoft's debut. Our young team is ready to take on the best of AAA when Clockwork releases later this year."

Clockwork is set in the great mechanical city of Watchtower, where the last survivors of a great plague have found shelter within metal walls and metal bodies. Watchtower is divided by poverty and technology; the glittering spires of its upper tiers towering over the thrumming power plants and smoking factories of the industrial slums.

Players control a young boy named Atto who, thanks to his clockwork companion Milli, is able to duplicate himself and slip through time in order to overcome the obstacles heading his way.

Says Daniel McMahon, Clockwork's lead writer, "Clockwork is a story about unlikely friends coming together to try and fix an imperfect world in a time-bending puzzle-platforming adventure story. We want to ask players the question: What if you could go back in time, to before everything changed?"

Planned for a digital release on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and mobile platforms, Clockwork will launch later this year.

Deco Digital & Bevel Studios have launched a new pre-release trailer for ‘Pneuma: Breath of Life’ and have now unveiled that the much anticipated Steam release will be coming to PC with full Oculus Rift DK2 support on the 27th February 2015 alongside the Xbox One version. This is the first game fuelled by the power of Unreal Engine 4 to release on Xbox One and is set to challenge player’s expectations of videogame storytelling through unique gameplay mechanics; all through the eyes of a god.

Pneuma: Breath of Life provides players with a relentless determination to solve every puzzle, progressing through a narrated story of self-discovery, exploring the fundamental nature of being. Pneuma's story is one that can only be told through the interactive medium of video games. This is a difficult puzzler designed to force players to think outside the box and explore beyond what they know as reality through the eyes of a god, voiced by award winning voice actor, Jay Britton.

Pneuma’s puzzles consist of environmental challenges that require perception, observation, and lateral thinking skills to succeed. The observation mechanic allows you to Lift bridges, rotate platforms and move entire rooms all with the power of your mind, which is enhanced even further with the Oculus Rift DK2 support in the Steam version. Playing Pneuma isn't about your skill with a controller, it's about how you perceive and analyse situations. PC and Xbox players will need to push their brains to their limit in this exciting new first person puzzler as Pneuma contemplates the nature of reality and you explore the ontological mystery of the Breath of Life.

“With the release so close now we can’t wait to see player’s reactions to the final game. Being able to say that we’re coming to Steam on the same day as Xbox One is very exciting for us as we want as many people as possible to be to experience the story of Pneuma. This new cinematic trailer gives a glimpse at Pneuma’s world which you’ll be able to experience in full 27th February 2015.”
