ESDigital Games :

Limassol, Cyprus - 29th July 2024. Indie publisher ESDigital Games is thrilled to announce its participation in the Pixelated Event from 29 July to 5 August with the roguelike action RPG Scholar of the Arcane Arts and the 80s inspired 2-D pixel art point-and-click adventure Unusual Findings.
 

As a bonus for fans looking to pick up a copy of Scholar of the Arcane Arts during the event will be pleased to know that the new Sunobius Edition update will be going live during the event! If that’s not enough excitement, then there will be a limited-time event discount for both games when the Pixelated Event starts! 
 

Unusual Findings 

Unusual Findings transports you back to the 80s and pays tribute to classic movies such as The Goonies, The Explorers, Monster Squad, The Lost Boys, They Live, Terminator, and Aliens and adds gameplay that combines mechanics of Point and Click masterpieces like Full Throttle with its own unique twist.
 

Fans will soon be able to dig deeper into this quintessential adventure when the free Vinny’s Diary update launches very soon! In this update Vinny, one of the three main characters from Unusual Findings, will share hints on how to complete and solve puzzles via his thoughts in his diary and provide a little extra lore from the game. Players can also use the ‘give more hints’ button until the help and advice are replaced by direct instructions for those needing extra help. Also included in the update are various fixes and QOL improvements, as well as improved PC mouse controls and traditional Chinese localisation. That’s not all, as console fans can now enjoy a PS5 and Xbox Series update which not only adds the Vinny’s Diary update but also improves performance on these current-gen systems. Nintendo Switch players will also have access to all the Vinny’s Diary update content!
 

There will also be a huge 50% discount for Unusual Findings on Steam during the event!
