— A Quiver of Crows (@AQuiverOfCrows) December 27, 2014A Quiver of Crows, is going to be the first Sheado.net's title releasing on platforms that are not limited to the mobile scenario. It's an action-packed twin-stick shooter that, however, doesn't feature the usual aerial fights between big metallic vehicles.
Instead, you're going to be controlling a crow (go figure) that needs to purge the world from creatures brought back to life by a sinister spell. There's a local co-op mode in the works, if you will ever need a hand. But it anyway seems like the challenge put up for the single player is well balanced.
A Quiver of Crows is coming out for Windows, Mac, and Linux, but the release date, has yet to be announced.

— Valhalla Cats (@valhallacats) December 27, 2014This isn't yet another simulation experience. The Purring Quest, in fact, is a fully fledged stealth platformer where you're going to face the problems, but also the benefits, of being a cat.
The goal is to find your owner; whom appears to be affected by some unspecified illness. Throughout the levels, many challenges and bonus stages are being developed. So that on top of providing an overall hard game, the player can also focus on several secondary objectives.
