Last week, I got an e-mail from Wholesome Games that included two new game reveals. I was taking a few days away from DDNet at the time, and so I didn’t get the chance to write about it. Now, though, one of those games has officially been announced via a…

Tokyo-based developer x-climb Inc. will be releasing what I believe is its first title, Steam Trigger, for PC and consoles later this year.
