Title: Feed the Scorchpot Genre: Indie , Strategy Developer: Moravian Publisher: Indieformer , WhisperGames Release Date: Aug 20, 2026 About This Game You struck a deal with a dragon: twenty years of protection for twenty years of dinner service. The island thrives under the beast's watchful eye, as long as the meals keep coming. Every year, the dragon wakes up hungrier . You roll dice to work your island, harvest ingredients, fuse them into recipes, and cook them down in the Scorchpot — the pot you keep full or end up in. Get the meal right and you prosper . Get it wrong and you're smoke. Build farmsteads, shrines, and harbors across your hex-grid island, each one changing how the board pays out. The best runs start with a handful of tiles and end with a machine that buries the dragon in food. Then the odds tighten, the dragon turns picky, and you tear the whole thing down and rebuild while it's on fire. Feed the Scorchpot , keep the dragon happy, and outlast the contract. Build a scoring engine — Place farms, shrines, and harbors so they feed each other. 50+ buildings and 80+ recipes to mix and upgrade, until a handful of tiles becomes board-breaking numbers. Every meal is a math puzzle — Combine ingredients into recipes that boost Flavor and Essence, multiplying your Fodder score into absurd, screen-shaking numbers. Press your luck — Win in fewer seasons for a bigger payoff, but each year you stay raises the stakes: harsher odds, hungrier dragons, the odd tantrum that torches your board. Build your dice — 20+ types: odd, even, colored, even dice carved into six sixes. Tune your tray and pray the dragon's merciful. Broken combos, on purpose — Bend the rules, break the math, and rebuild when everything catches fire. Hand-drawn, every inch — Every dragon, building, and meal drawn by Daniela, the artist half of the married duo who made the game. For combo addicts — If you've broken Balatro or Slay the Spire wide open with one overpowered synergy, you'll feel at home. Quick to pick up — Roll, cook, feed: you've got the loop by your first year. Staying ahead of the dragon for twenty is the hard part. Cozy on top, ruthless underneath — Hand-drawn and warm, right up until the fire catches. Cook cleverly, plan badly, or just roll with it — the dragon doesn't care how you win, only that you feed the beast on time. And yes, you can pet the dragon.

Title: Security 51 Genre: Adventure , Indie , Simulation Developer: Alawar Publisher: Alawar Franchise: Alawar Release Date: Aug 12, 2026 About This Game A "SIMPLE" JOB Security 51 is an atmospheric horror security guard simulator inspired by Papers, Please, and SCP paranoia. You're on duty in the underground bunker of Area 51, where the most dangerous part begins at the elevator: the shaft descends for miles down to unknown levels. Whether it's laboratories, anomalies, inhumane experiments, or something alien—you're not supposed to know. Your task is simple: let in those who have access and stop those who don't... even if everything looks "right" on the surface. SECURE, CONTAIN, PROTECT Everyone who passes through your checkpoint carries papers, passes, or verbal orders. Your job is to check names, positions, clearance levels, and time, ensuring the number of people entering and leaving matches, and pay attention to any oddities. These could be incorrect answers, behavior that deviates from protocol, slurred speech, or even documents that seem too perfect. As time passes you'll catch yourself thinking that something's wrong more and more, and the only thing to rely on will be the protocols. But even they can be wrong. TOTAL CONTROL With experience, you'll gain increasingly more accurate methods of identity verification, such as fingerprint verification or blood testing. Did that janitor simply open the wrong door, or are they a spy for an enemy government? Or are they not even human? When in doubt, quarantine the suspect. Sometimes you'll make mistakes and lock up an ordinary employee, and sometimes you'll find a titanium cell ripped open from the inside. Some decisions will have immediate consequences, others only after several shifts. CONTAIN THE THREAT The consequences of every mistake go far beyond issues in the workplace. Let the wrong person out, and the infection will ravage the city. Isolate suspicious employees, investigate anomalies, and launch new operations to contain the threat before it's too late. Remember, it's not just about who you let in, but who or what you let out into the world. Mature Content Description The developers describe the content like this: The player takes the role of a security officer working in a high-security research facility. As part of the inspection process, employees and scientists must be examined for anomalies and physical inconsistencies. Some inspections involve using a body scanner that can reveal partial nudity beneath clothing. These scenes are presented solely as part of the gameplay mechanics and are not intended to be sexual or erotic in nature. System Requirements View the full article

"Stratagem"— Retainers, the Hundred Schools of Thought, Diplomacy, National Policies, Alliances and Rivalries Rule like a city lord or feudal ruler: integrate different schools of thought, formulate diplomatic strategies, and shape your own philosophy of governance. Make choices such as forming alliances, declaring ceasefires, opening trade, or joining forces against powerful enemies. A nine-grid national policy system works together with court debates, while the schools of your retainers influence the direction of policy.

As the old saying goes: fortune and misfortune depend upon each other. After a devastating disaster, could there also be a hidden opportunity for growth? 5. "Reform"— Industrial Coordination, Logistics Above All Through technological development, building upgrades, and logistics systems, you will experience not only the advancement of tools and techniques, but also the deeper transformation of institutions and civilization. Raw materials such as timber, ore, and grain go through gathering, processing, storage, and distribution to form a complete industrial chain.

It's the final countdown: Players and talent have landed, and all of the pieces are falling into place to make Shanghai the center of the Dota universe for the next two weeks. It's time to finish crafting your fantasy rosters, lock in your first round of predictions, and get ready to tune in because The International 2026 is almost underway. Whether you're looking to watch online, find Dota activities in Shanghai to keep you busy until streams start, or looking for merch you can wear while you're out in Shanghai waiting for games to start, we've got you covered below. The International Group StageSixteen teams have earned the right to compete for the Aegis of Champions in Shanghai, but only eight will face off in the main event. First, they must survive the gauntlet of the Swiss Format Group Stage. Group Stage games begin on Thursday, August 13 and wrap on Sunday, August 16. In that span, all sixteen teams will play best-of-three matches against other teams with the same overall series record. A fourth series win will earn a team an automatic berth at The International; a fourth loss will result in elimination. By end of play on Saturday, three teams will have secured spots in The International and three teams will have been eliminated. The ten remaining teams will face off in a special elimination round to decide the rest. Every single one of the five series on Sunday will send one team home and the other onward to the main event. The International Main EventOn Thursday, August 20, The International will move to SPD Bank Oriental Sports Center and open the doors to more than ten thousand fans. Four days of intense play through a double-elimination bracket will culminate in the Grand Finals on Sunday, August 23, and only then will the last team stand victorious and raise the Aegis of Champions. Tickets for the event are sold out, but there are tons of ways to watch online — and even a handful of special in-person opportunities available around the city of Shanghai.
