Flashing Lights is a title where you can play as either the police, the fire department, or an emergency medical responder (ambulance). It's largely...

QC Games, the development studio that released Breach just this past January into Steam Early Access, is now shutting down. The announcement came earlier today via a developer update on the Breach website.

Breach was a 4v1 action-RPG. Players could make and customize their own characters with a variety of customizable abilities. These characters would face off against a "Veil Demon" that was either controlled by the AI or by other players. The game was going to transition to being free-to-play once it left Early Access, but it looks like that won't come to pass....

Today, the "Unified Update" was released for the battle royale style game Fear the Wolves. This update for the Early Access title aims to improve the new player experience. The benefit of some of these changes made for new players will also benefit veterans that are still playing the game.
