Darkstone Making Its Return To iOS Devices

It has been fourteen years since the first Darkstone (developed in 1999 by Delphine Software) and now we will see the game adapted for today's mobile devices.  The hack-and-slasher Darkstone made its mark in the gaming world with its dark atmosphere and deep gameplay.

As part of its partnership with Vector Cell, signed end of 2012, French publisher Anuman Interactive announces the launch of a new version of "Darkstone". Fully revised and optimised for mobiles, this version will be created by the French studio Artefacts, in collaboration with Paul Cuisset.

The players will enjoy rediscovering the original game (more than 100 levels, 4 playable character classes…) on their smartphones or tablets, with a new interface and a gaming system adapted to touch screens. The fans will also recognise the remixed original voices and sounds.

“We are sure that this new version of "Darkstone" will win again the mobile players’ hearts, just like it happened back then with the PC users. This new version is more accessible and the new interface allows action phases that are much more dynamic, thanks to the touch features of those devices” explains Alain Milly, Publishing Director at Anuman Interactive .

Paul Cuisset, founder of Vector Cell adds with enthousiasm that “Anuman Interactive and Artefacts Studio teams are doing a great job. This new version of "Darkstone" is fun to play and I am delighted to see this title newly adapted on mobiles”.

"Darkstone" will be available as of June 2013 on iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...

550 Geese Killed at the Request of an HOA — And the Question We Can’t Ignore

In Madison, Alabama, more than 550 geese were captured and killed in a single coordinated operation carried out by USDA Wildlife Services at the request of a homeowners association. What was described as a “population control effort” has ignited a deeper and far more uncomfortable conversation: When did wildlife become something we simply remove when it becomes inconvenient? According to reports from the Heritage Plantation HOA, the geese population had grown to levels they claimed were “five times” what was considered sustainable for the area. The association said it had spent years attempting non-lethal methods, including deterrents and egg management strategies, before ultimately requesting a full-scale cull approved under federal wildlife guidelines. Nine USDA agents carried out the operation. Within a single night, hundreds of birds that had been living, nesting, and raising young in the community were gone. The HOA cited concerns about sanitation, water quality, and public health...
