<q>One Night: Burlesque is a visual novel game in which players can delve into the heart of a tarry noir tale, where the fluff of peacock feathers, and sequins darkens under the influence of crime lurking in the shadows,</q> RedDeer said.

The game is set in a world where humans with supernatural abilities must take a drug called ODDERAL. Otherwise, they will spiral into madness and insanity.

Players control the protagonist, Hollie, a talented dancer working at the exclusive burlesque club Angels Den. With her telepathic skills, Hollie discovers that someone plans to murder her best friend, setting the game's story.

Along the way, players must make choices that will affect the story's outcome. They must "delve into the minds" of the characters surrounding Hollie and try to solve the mystery.

<q>Uncover their hidden motives and unveil the truth. Be cautious; every mind holds secrets, and not all are willing to share them right away,</q> said developers.

One Night: Burlesque will have three different endings. All of them will be influenced by the choices the players took, they added.

RedDeer Games will reveal more details about One Night: Burlesque, including its release date, at a later date. Interested players can watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IjUKgYdSiU">game's trailer on YouTube</a>.

XSEED Games added that Rune Factory 3 Special also served as an expanded version of the original game.

The Black Pool Enters Steam Early Access

<a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/reus-2/" title="Reus 2 on PC">Reus 2</a>, the sequel to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/reus/" title="Reus on PC">2013 strategy game</a> where players control giants, has kicked off its first public demo.Paris-based publisher Firesquid confirmed that the demo version of Reus 2 went live for Steam Strategy Fest. The event will run from August 29 to September 4.

The Strategy Fest edition of Reus 2 has a playtime of 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. The early demo introduces players to the core gameplay, including a tutorial and a limited set of planned content, such as three biomes and three giants.

In addition, developers have incorporated the feedback they gathered during its latest playtest into the demo version.

<q>We used the feedback from the last playtest to hone in on some important aspects of the game. For the sake of the demo, we did remove some features that were still too rough on the edges to play,</q> said Adriaan from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/abbey-games/" title="Abbey Games">Abbey Games</a>.

Abbey Games is the Dutch studio that developed the first game.

Last May, Firesquid announced the development of Reus 2 during the 10th anniversary of the first game's release. Dutch game studio Abbey Games will still lead the development of the sequel.

Similar to its predecessor, Reus 2 combines god-game elements with planet management. In it, players become giants who nurture their plants and guide humanity.

The upcoming game, however, will introduce new features and mechanics. According to the developers, Reus 2 will allow players to create multiple planets.

The launch date of the game's full version has yet to be revealed. However, developers said it would contain more content. This included new and familiar giants.

Reus first came out in 2013. The game received positive reviews from gamers and some critics. While praising its visuals and potential, other game experts felt disappointed over its mechanics.

They pointed out that Reus lacked replayability and that its gameplay needed improvement.

For Reus 2, developers promised to expand on the original game's features and offer more variety and replayability.
