Check out the new Button Man trailer from our friends at @styraxstudios.bsky.social. They've mashed up a number of ingredients that I love. (Adventure? Check. Beat 'em up? Check. Hergé/Golden age of comics aesthetic? Check.)

It should be on your radar! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxAn...

One of the highlights every convention for me is checking out the Canadian games. At Gamescom, it was genuinely inspiring seeing so many Canadian devs showing off their wonderful work on the world stage. 🇨🇦 🎮
I wrote about a bunch that were featured at the show, including a few I got to demo myself.

There were plenty of cool Canadian games at Gamescom 2025

From two completely different detective games to a genre-blending horror/deck-builder and classic beat 'em up, Canadian developers showed up in big ways.

We are so proud of our game’s look – and the folks we’ve met at events over the last few months definitely agree!

Are there any iconic golden age comics that jump to mind when you see Button Man?

Trouble is brewing in Kingsport, Nova Scotia ⚓

Crooked cops, hired goons, and a dame with too many secrets – this town’s a powder keg and Bruce McKenzie just lit the match.

Got the moxie to crack the case?
