Bristol, United Kingdom — November 18, 2024 | After this year’s success with The Holy Gosh Darn and Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers, Yogscast Games is thrilled to announce that two new titles will be available to playtest towards the end of this month. Jérémie & Thibaut’s tribal deck-and-village-builder, Kaya’s Prophecy, joins Terahard’s creature-collecting cleaning sim Monster Mop Up in this opportunity for an early look at the publisher’s upcoming titles. Players are invited to head over to Monster Mop Up and Kaya’s Prophecy’s respective store pages and hit ‘Request access’ to try them out for themselves.
For those who have dreamed of appeasing a power-hungry leader while building their own tribe, then Kaya’s Prophecy is the answer to their twisted prayers. For the first time, players can have a go at hunting, gathering and building day and night - to the catchy beat of the tam tams - as they fight for the survival of their village. Protect the townsfolk from foes with a carefully crafted deck, and keep them out of the cruel hands of the village master. Players must exercise caution - if they fail, your poor townsfolk may end up poisoned, electrocuted, or even turned upside down!
Unlike these fearsome tribal attackers, the creatures encountered in Monster Mop Up are incredibly cute - though messy. As Custodian of the Ministry of Monster Concealment, it’s up to players to keep the rowdy Ragamuffins away from the human world. Rescue the adorable little rascals and mop up any trace of them - yes, that includes their poop. In fact, especially their poop. Plus, for the first time, players can flush with friends thanks to Monster Mop Up’s multiplayer mode.
Both titles will open their doors to playtesters on Steam on November 18, with press invited to preview the games from today (November 12). Whether you prefer protecting men or monsters, try your hand at these two exciting new titles from Yogscast Games and their respective indie developers, Jérémie & Thibaut and Terahard.
Yogscast Games was established in 2017, with a simple goal: to work with small teams to develop and publish games which are as fun to watch as they are to play. Its most recent releases have included poker-powered deckbuilding game ‘Aces & Adventures’, the wickedly amoral ‘Trolley Problem, Inc.’ and the wildly successful restaurant management roguelike ‘PlateUp!’ which recently passed 1.5m Steam units sold.
Thibaut is an indie game developer operating under the name of Chaos Interactive since 2007. He started working for hire on well-know licences games like Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull on american's Didj handheld or Adibou series on Nintendo DS. He worked on Xbox360, PC, Mobile and html5 video games and during this time he met Jérémie and they decided together to create a brand new video game, Kaya's Prophecy.
Based in the French Alps, Jeremie has been an independent artist since 13 years. He worked on several mobile video game projects where he met Thibaut and illustrated many board games. Together they decided to create their own game.
