What's Happening?
Indie developer Bugged Games has announced 'Dithered,' a new action-adventure thriller game inspired by 'Alice: Madness Returns.' The game follows Penelope, a girl trapped in a surreal, toy-box limbo of
her own trauma. Players navigate a world of feelings rather than physics, making choices that affect the game's outcome. The game features a unique dithered aesthetic and a combat system that emphasizes patience and strategy. 'Dithered' is set to release for Windows PC in Q1 2026.
Why It's Important?
