It's a good week for smaller releases, even if most of them are released on the same day. So whether you're looking for an adorable cat adventure, a creepy PS1-era survival horror homage, or a 90s PC dungeon that combines his crawlers, Wordle has you covered with a thing or two. A reward awaits.
Check out some of the more exciting items coming this week.
