For fans of Capcom’s Phoenix Wright courtroom dramas, developer Sketchy Logic hopes to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that their forthcoming legal adventure Aviary Attorney will perfectly fit the bill.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is clearly Peltast Design’s mantra in designing the naval-themed follow-up to the 2012 freeware title Why Am I Dead? (recently re-released as Why Am I Dead?: Rebirth).

Deadalic Entertainment has been synonymous largely with comedy and fantasy titles so far, but things will be taking a decidedly darker turn early next year when the German company publishes Shining Gate Software's horror adventure Decay: The Mare.

Terror is going to be in the eye of the beholder in 2015, when Spanish developer 3D2 Entertainment plans to unleash The Crow’s Eye on the world. The “first-person terror adventure” will incorporate storytelling, exploration, and some light crafting in the hopes of hitting the sweet spot horror fans have been craving.
