As we're moving into full on spring, we have a rather mixed week of releases in front of us. This week's biggest release is based on a Disney movie, but we also have a famous detective and a selection of other potentially interesting games for you, so click on past the break to find out what else is being released.

Tron: Identity / This week's AA title / Tuesday 11 April
Something has been taken. Enter a new Grid and forge alliances via visual novel gameplay, uncovering truths through Identity Disc puzzles. Make critical decisions and plot your own course in a world without a creator.




Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow / Monday 10 April
Emotional, 3rd-person, story-driven, adventure game focused on solving puzzles and using stealth mechanics. Use your bow to interact with environmental elements. Sneak, climb or distract guards to move further unnoticed. Solve light puzzles alongside your path to rescue your loved one.



Sherlock Holmes The Awakened / Tuesday 11 April
Experience a nerve-racking Lovecraftian adventure, rebuilt from the ground up with modern graphics and gameplay. Become Sherlock Holmes, and find yourself at the heart of the terrifying Cthulhu Mythos as you investigate a series of mysterious disappearances in Europe and the US.



Wildfrost / Wednesday 12 April
The world has succumbed to the Wildfrost. Now only Snowdwell and its survivors stand as the last bastion against an eternal winter... Build up a deck of powerful card companions and elemental items, as you battle to banish the frost once and for all!



Fabledom / Thursday 13 April
Once upon a Village.. Set in a wholesome fairytale world, Fabledom is the ideal laid back City builder. Enjoy the growth of your settlement, trade and use diplomacy to ally or challenge your neighbors, and most importantly, find yourself a prince or princess and live happily ever after!

Plus an obligatory rant: Fabledom looks like a chromatic aberration simulator. No idea who in their right mind likes that effect. Maybe ppl wearing really strong glasses with low quality lenses, where it actually negates the chromatic aberration caused by their glasses?

Like the overuse of bloom 15 years ago, it's a fad that just won't seem to die. Hopefully the effect can be switched off at least.
