If you played Overcooked, you are going to love Friendship vs. The World. In this chaotic four-player game, you and your friends are fighting together to keep the evil away. Use simple resources like sticks to craft tools to help you in your battle.
I love playing video games with my friends, and this game shows how powerful a good friendship can be. I pretty much share my entire life with my best IRL friend; we combat everything life throws at us, share the joys and the lows all together. That is why I am so excited about Friendship vs. The World; it is a wholesome indie game that puts friendship first.
Team up with your buddies and fight off all the bad vibes that get thrown at you. The chaotic gameplay reminds me of games like Overcooked, but the secret weapon here is the raw power of friendship through team play and coordination as you craft, deploy, and organize your team to fend off waves after wave of strongly cute enemies.
The game’s core gameplay loop is as chaotic as it is wholesome; the cute handcrafted art, adorable characters, and quickly animated make every round feel unique and fresh.
The game is coming to Steam very soon; make sure to add it to your wishlist so you can be among the first to get battling with your friends!

Harbourlight is a cozy, atmospheric farming sim where whatever ingredients you find for the day become the night’s menu at your diner! You reopen a little diner that’s been closed in a town that’s seen much better days. This little harbour town still sees boats off, but overall, it’s pretty empty. However, this cozy place has exactly what you need! The diner has a small open plot next to it where you can grow plants, raise animals, and go fishing for all the ingredients you need to cook tasty meals.
The town is super cozy, but so is the gameplay in Harbourlight. There are no menus to create or specific recipes to plan out. Simply gather the ingredients you have for the day, and set to work. The kitchen knows what to make. Chop some tomatoes, cilantro, and chilli, and the kitchen recognizes those ingredients as pico de gallo! Each ingredient does carry flavors across eight pillars of flavor: sweet, salt, sour, bitter, umami, heat, fat, and aroma. You’ll need to match the ingredients with the tastes of each customer to satisfy your diners. The guests are more than just paying customers, though. They’re fleshed-out humans with personalities and interesting stories to tell. And more come to town as word spreads of your delicious food!



Harbourlight is a solo project that is listed on Steam but has no release date yet. There is a planned demo coming later this year, too. Add it to your Wishlist to keep an eye on it and check out the trailer below!
