Hey everyone! Pepper Grinder launched just under a month ago, and thousands of you have played it.

Pepper Grinder is one of those games that has so many great moments in it that recounting them would almost feel unfair to anyone hoping to play it. There are feats of platforming prowess on show here that should really be experienced fresh and unsullied by rudimentary descriptions of them, because to say anymore would be to spoil the surprise. This feels doubly important when the game itself is so fleeting in length, its brief and dizzying journey through the dirt, magma, ice and marshy bogs of this strange, treasure-stuffed island coming to a swift conclusion in just over three and a half ho

Hey everyone, In anticipation for tomorrow's launch of Pepper Grinder, I wanted to tease a piece of merch dropping tomorrow on the Devolver Merch Shop alongside the game's release at 9am PST. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43187413/094c38cafc52bd81e2fc3e99b22cb5e119424e6c.png Enjoy this faux graded distressed antique pewter Skull Coin from everyone’s seafaring pirate! This coin is encased in a protective UV casing, so not even those pesky Narlings could ever claw at it, unless they adapt and drop it from somewhere high, then maybe? It also includes a Steam key E-mailed directly to you, so you can still en

Yesterday's Nintendo Direct got rather overshadowed by a certain trailer for Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree, but there were still plenty of good news nuggets to be had in there for us PC folks - which I've summarised for you below. The long and short of it is: more release dates! Loads of 'em! And they're all coming in the first half of 2024 as well. I love it when a schedule comes together. Read more

The Steam Next Fest February 2024 Edition starts next week, February 5, but you can jump into the Pepper Grinder demo today! Starting now, you can follow Pepper as she wields her trusty sidearm and drill through the first few levels of the Mole Hills region after being washed up to shore. Big, mostly peaceful Molemen live here. They’re all pretty cool dudes, but their quiet natures are being tested by Narling incursions. Drill through each level to reclaim your treasure with an additional Time Attack Mode, hit up the shop, and get creative by designing your first sticker book page. It's been a
