The Textorcist out today - make it your special Valentine's Day game!

Plus: Soundtrack by GosT available for purchase as well

14 February 2019 Happy Valentine's Day! Together with a box of chocolates, enjoy our new title The Textorcist today - it will be available on Steam and GOG this afternoon with a 15% release discount for only $12.74 / €12.74 / £10.19. If still not sure, check out the free Steam Demo (also on GOG) first and get exorcised from any doubts!

Although a single player game, in the spirit of Valentine's Day why not grab your significant other and exorcise together? Exorcising demons has never been so romantic and fun - one typing and the other dodging - as nothing screams love like a (still beating) demon heart or triggering autocombustion in mentally healthy villains by over-using exorcism spells on them.

In The Textorcist, you play as Ray Bibbia and learn how brutal life can be as a private exorcist, even if you're a badass. So far, influencers and journalists have greatly enjoyed this fresh mix of bullet hell and typing game - imagine Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and Enter the Gungeon had a dark, loud child together!

In addition to the game, feel free to check out the electrifying soundtrack composed by GosT right here, for only 5 bucks (or 4.99 € / £3.99).

Through specific actions you can unlock new characters, starting loadouts and more to make your next run easier or tougher.

New Devespresso and Headup Collaboration:

12 February 2019 Devespresso and Headup join forces for the release of Devespresso's newest single-player adventure Vambrace: Cold Soul. The roguelike fantasy adventure focusses on rich story telling and deep strategy, and will come to PC and Mac on 25th April, with Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One following in Q3 2019.

Windscape - Homage to "The Legend of Zelda" coming to consoles and PC on 27th March

Open-World Adventure Game's Full Release for Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One and PC

29 January 2019 As a huge fan of "The Legend of Zelda", "Secret of Mana" and "Golden Axe Warrior", the German game developer Dennis Witte has always wanted to create his own game which contained elements of all of them. In 2016 his dream started taking shape with the help of Headup, when his "Herzensprojekt" Windscape was released into Early Access on Steam.

The result was a first person exploration adventure with elements of modern crafting and sandbox games, where you explore a beautifully handcrafted fantasy world, fight monsters, interact with NPCs, solve quests and puzzles.

Now, almost three years later, Dennis' hard work and passion as well as the extremely helpful feedback from the community (Thank you!) has led us here: Windscape is leaving Early Access on 27th March and will also be released on Nintendo Switch™ and Xbox One.
