GN Version 5.0

Guts ‘N Goals aims to send players on a raucous arcade-style soccer match where the goal is to literally beat up friends along the way. Everyone takes to the field with a bat in hand that is used to strike the ball… or other players… in a smack-tastic fight to score as many goals as possible before the game is over. And if you escape with your life, consider yourself lucky!

Launching August 31 for PC, PS4, XBox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Estranged: The Departure now available for Switch

The first person adventure is out now!

05 March 2021
GN Version 5.0

04 MARCH 2020 - Developer Alan Edwardes is delighted to announce the launch of Estranged: The Departure on Nintendo Switch today.

The first person adventure game put players in the shoes of a lone fisherman who has found himself stranded on a strange island, shrouded in mystery.

Players will explore a rich, detailed landscape as they attempt to escape back to the mainland, encountering puzzles and enigmatic island inhabitants, unravelling a decades-old mystery along the way.

Edwardes' first person adventure game has been in development for over six years, designed as a standalone sequel to his first title Estranged: Act 1, a mod for Half-Life 2. That original mod has attracted 6,670 reviews on the Steam platform, 93% of which are positive.

Although a sequel in spirit, Estranged: The Departure is a completely self contained story which can be enjoyed independently of the original mod, with no prior experience necessary.

Estranged: The Departure expertly blends a rich first person narrative adventure with gripping action set-pieces and combat. Of the first game, PC Gamer wrote: "It's always nice to see a mod progress from humble beginnings to its own Steam product page, and Estranged is fully deserving of the achievement."

Developer Alan Edwardes said "I’m thrilled to release Estranged: The Departure on the Nintendo Switch! It has been a journey of just under 7 years of work in my spare time to get to this point, and I can’t wait for players to experience Estranged in handheld form."

Estranged: The Departure launches on Nintendo Switch today, priced £4.49 / $5.99 / €4.99.
