The future looks bright for Nightingale. It’s never nice to see a game face a troubled launch, especially one as spectacular to look at as Inflexion Games’ Victorian gaslamp fantasy world. Fortunately, the survival game has seen a gradual and continued recovery from its rocky start with the dramatic Realms Rebuilt overhaul, and it looks to have paid off. Now, it’s focused on the future, and that starts with one big upgrade to base building as the developer returns to working on a larger city environment that reaches back to its original MMORPG roots.

The moment you look at Travellers Rest, it's easy to see how Stardew Valley inspired it. The top-down perspective, gorgeous pixel art, an array of colorful NPCs, and, of course, the farming. At this point, Stardew Valley has birthed an entire genre that's recognizable in the blink of an eye, but Travellers Rest is different. Instead of growing a farmstead, you're managing a bustling tavern. Crops and agriculture are part of the equation, sure, but the experience of your patrons and the health of your business are paramount. So if you're bored of Pelican Town and fancy something new, Travellers Rest has just had yet another sizable update with loads more still planned.

Mean and Green: Will 'Wicked' Witch's Words Spell Disaster for Magical Movie Musical?

The Overrated Obama

SUBURBIA, USA — In a move that can only be described as insidious, a home fire alarm began emitting a single, intermittent beep last night at exactly 3:06 AM, jolting the entire Johnson family awake. The beep occurred every couple of minutes — just long enough to wake everyone up, but never long enough to track down the source. “It’s like it knew,” said a frustrated Tom Johnson, holding a broomstick in one hand and a flashlight in the other. “The second you’d start dozing off, there it was. BEEP. Just long enough to make you think, ‘What the hell was that?’ but not long enough to find out where.” The sinister alarm waged psychological warfare throughout the night. As the family, sleep-deprived and grumpy, stumbled around the house, they checked every corner, every room, and even the basement. Still, the source of the beeping remained elusive. “It was driving me insane,” said Susan Johnson, eyes bloodshot and twitching. “We checked every detector, every device. The microwave, the smoke alarms, even the damn fridge. But the second you thought you figured out where it was coming from, it would stop. Then, just as you walked away… BEEP… again.” The children were no better off, woken up repeatedly by their parents’ frantic stomping and flashlight sweeping. “At one point, we all just stood in the hallway, staring at the ceiling, waiting for it to go off again. It felt like some kind of twisted psychological experiment,” Tom added. Specialists say this kind of mysterious, unpredictable beeping is common among older home alarms. According to Gary Beeperton, a local home security expert, this behavior is not a malfunction—it’s a form of control. “These alarms are designed to wait until the absolute worst possible time—usually the middle of the night—before they start chirping. They feed on your panic and confusion. It’s how they stay relevant.” The Johnsons tried everything. Tom pulled out random batteries from detectors across the house in desperation, only to be met with the same haunting BEEP minutes later. “At one point, I yanked the batteries from the thermostat, just in case,” said Tom, exasperated. Their dog, Buddy, also joined in the chaos, barking at imaginary threats, adding yet another layer of sleepless torment. Finally, at around 5:00 AM, the beeping stopped as mysteriously as it had started. The family, too exhausted to celebrate, simply collapsed back into bed. “We never found out which one was beeping,” Susan said. “But if it starts again tonight, I swear, I’m getting a sledgehammer.” At press time, the Johnsons were considering hiring a priest to perform a house exorcism, just in case the beep was supernatural.
