Murky Divers, developed by Embers, is set to make waves on June 20. This first-person crime sim transports players to the early 2000s on the tropical island of Isla Sombra. As the name suggests, this sleepy isle becomes a bustling hub for contraband dealings. Players will navigate an open world that is reportedly six times larger than the one in the original Drug Dealer Simulator. The game offers an array of methods to acquire and produce drugs, providing a comprehensive experience for those curious about the life of a drug dealer without the real-world risks. Whether you choose to evade the law or form alliances with the local authorities, Murky Divers promises a gripping and immersive experience.
Republic of Pirates
Launching on June 20 and developed by Crazy Goat Games, Republic of Pirates adds a fresh twist to the pirate genre. This city builder focuses on creating and maintaining a pirate utopia, complete with infrastructure to support waterborne robbery. Players will need to ensure their pirates are content, likely by constructing numerous distilleries. Naval combat is also featured, but from a top-down perspective, offering a strategic layer to the gameplay. For those seeking a more complex and strategic alternative to games like Skull & Bones, Republic of Pirates could be the perfect fit.
Dystopika
Set for release on June 22 by Voids Within, Dystopika is a stress-free city builder that diverges from the peaceful settings of its peers. Instead, players will construct a sprawling cyberpunk metropolis, complete with towering skyscrapers, flying vehicles, and perpetual rain. This game captures the essence of cyberpunk, offering a mood-first, conflict-free experience akin to Cloudpunk. For those who enjoyed wandering the neon-lit streets of Cyberpunk 2077, Dystopika offers a similarly atmospheric experience.
It’s Just a Prank
Developed by Bober Bros and releasing on June 22, It’s Just a Prank is a first-person horror game that delves into the unsettling world of kids playing pranks on each other. The game features some of the most disturbingly realistic face models seen in recent times, adding to its eerie atmosphere. This 40-minute narrative-driven experience is best approached with minimal prior knowledge, ensuring that players can fully immerse themselves in its creepy and unpredictable storyline.
