Bask in the grotesque pixel-art beauty of Neverway
Neverway is a life-sim RPG starring Fiona, a young woman who quits her dead-end job to live on a remote island farm for a while, where she ends up becoming the immortal herald of a dead god. Fiona has to fight through nightmare realms and battle repulsive horrors, while also tending her land and maintaining relationships with townsfolk. She's able to meet and date more than 10 distinct characters, and forming friendship bonds unlocks combat abilities. The game features farming and fishing mechanics, and there's also a crafting system for secondary tools like the hookshot, which supplements Fiona's primary weapon, a sword.

Neverway comes from Coldblood Inc., an independent Vancouver studio founded by Brazilian-Canadian developers Pedro Medeiros and Isadora Sophia. Medeiros is the pixel artist behind Towerfall and Celeste , two stunning indie games, and Sophia is an ex-senior software engineer at Microsoft and the creator of the open-source Murder Engine, which powers Neverway . The game also features music by Disasterpiece, the composer behind Fez and the top-tier horror film It Follows , with sound design by Martin Kvale of NokNok Audio. OuterSloth, the indie game fund established by Among Us creators InnerSloth , is providing financial backing for Neverway , and Coldblood Inc. is self-publishing it.
Though Neverway was officially announced one month ago during the Triple-i Initiative showcase, it still made a splash as part of the Day of the Devs event tied to Summer Game Fest 2025 this week. Neverway is heading to PC at an undetermined future time, and it's available to wishlist on Steam now.

Sullivan's Crossing Season 4: Release date rumors, cast updates and plot – Everything we know so far
Fans of Sullivan's Crossing can't stop buzzing about the cozy Canadian drama that's taken Netflix by storm. After a jaw-dropping Season 3 finale, everyone's eager to know what's next for Maggie, Cal, and the rest of the Timberlake crew. Here's the latest scoop on Season 4, packed with release date speculation, cast updates, and plot predictions to keep the excitement alive. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Release Date Nobody's dropped an official release date for Season 4 yet, but there's enough tea to spill based on how the show's been rolling out. Sullivan's Crossing has a pretty steady groove. Season 1 kicked off on CTV in March 2023, then hit The CW in October 2023. Season 2 showed up on CTV in April 2024, followed by The CW in October 2024. Season 3 kept the pattern, landing on CTV in April 2025 and The CW in May 2025. If the trend holds, Season 4 should pop up on CTV around April or May 2026, with The CW airing it a bit later, maybe June 2026. Word on the street—or rather, posts on X—says filming started in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August 2025 and should wrap by November. That keeps things on track for a 2026 premiere. Netflix fans, you'll probably get Season 4 around August 2026, a few months after The CW run, since Season 3 dropped on Netflix in August 2025. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Expected Cast The Sullivan's Crossing crew feels like family at this point, and most of the faves should be back for Season 4. Here's the rundown on who's likely strolling through Timberlake: Morgan Kohan as Maggie Sullivan Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones Scott Patterson as Sully Sullivan Andrea Menard as Edna Cranebear Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear Lindura as Sydney Shandon Reid Price as Rob Shandon Dakota Taylor as Rafe Vadas Amalia Williamson as Lola Gunderson Cindy Sampson as Jane Kate Vernon as Helen Culver Marcus Rosner as Liam Davies Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Plot That Season 3 finale on June 22, 2025, had jaws on the floor. Liam Davies rolling into town, calling himself Maggie's husband? Total plot twist! Season 4's gotta unpack that mess and more. Here's what's probably cooking based on the finale and the show's knack for romance and heart: Maggie and Cal: Love on the Rocks? Maggie and Cal were finally getting their groove on in Season 3, with Maggie settling into Timberlake and planning her own clinic. Then Liam drops the 'husband' bomb. Is it legit, or is there some wild backstory? Season 4's bound to dig into Maggie's past, maybe flashing back to what went down with Liam. This could put her and Cal's romance through the wringer. Fans on X are already freaking out about whether these two can survive another hurdle. Their chemistry's too good to fizzle, but it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Sully's Big Adventure Sully shocked everybody by deciding to head to Ireland with Helen. Season 4 might follow him across the pond, showing how he's handling this new chapter. Will he come back to the campground, or is Maggie taking over for good? His journey's gonna tug at the heartstrings, especially after all he's been through with Maggie. Edna and Frank's Healing Vibes Edna's brain surgery was a nail-biter, and Maggie pulled it off like a champ. Now, Edna and Frank's story will probably focus on soaking up life and leaning on each other. Their scenes always bring the warm fuzzies, balancing out the heavier drama. More Timberlake Drama The rest of the crew's got plenty going on. Sydney and Rafe's relationship is a hot mess—will they make it to the altar, or crash and burn? Lola and Jacob's flirty vibes could turn into something more. Rob and Jane might be headed for wedding bells, too. The campground itself could face trouble, maybe money issues or some shady new character stirring the pot. And Maggie's clinic? That's a whole new adventure, mixing her doctor skills with small-town life. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Amazon Echo Show 15: The Family Hub Worth Every Penny
Hi! I'm Sally Elshorafa — Home and Garden Editor here at BuzzFeed. I'm also someone who *loves* being organized, but would much rather adopt a great system than build one from scratch. I just like tools that fit into my life without me having to reinvent the wheel. Enter the Amazon Echo Show 15. It's a 15.6-inch full HD touchscreen display (try saying that three times fast), designed to be either wall-mounted like a piece of framed art or kept on a stand. Think Samsung's The Frame paired with Alexa's brains (oh no, is Alexa sentient?!?). It's slim, clean, and big enough to see from across the room, making it perfect for acting as a central hub in my busy home. And because it's voice-powered, I almost never have to touch it. I can control it entirely with my voice while I'm cooking, wrangling my children, or having a meltdown (often). Mine lives in the corner of our kitchen counter, because the kitchen is the most high-traffic spot in our house. In a multigenerational household like ours, placement is everything. Everyone sees it, everyone uses it, and that visibility is exactly what makes it work. It's not just another piece of tech bought under false pretenses; it's actually woven into the way we live. Cheesy, I know. of the best things about it is how customizable the display is. You can pin and arrange widgets so the things that matter most are always front and center. In our case, that's my family's shared Google Calendar (it works with Microsoft and Apple cals as well). We keep every appointment, meeting, school event, and trip on there, so there's no more, "Wait, you're in a meeting at the same time both kids have separate play dates scheduled?" surprises. The calendar on the Echo Show is in real time; if my husband updates it from his phone, it's instantly reflected on the screen in the kitchen. We also keep a synced shopping list on display, which anyone in our family can update through the Alexa app, or just by shouting out what needs to be added (a more common occurrence). If I notice we're out of eggs while making breakfast, I just say, "Alexa, add a dozen eggs to my shopping list." No pen, no paper, no unlocking my phone. Whoever ends up at the grocery store next sees the updated list immediately. And it's not just groceries. We add household items, kid stuff, and random things we think of mid-conversation. Right now, our list includes washing machine pods, extra pillowcases for the kids, and bulk cold brew. Once items are purchased, you can either check them off on the app or via the Echo Show, whatever works for you. Other widgets we use daily include a month-at-a-glance calendar (critical for planning ahead), a weather panel that updates in real time, curated news headlines based on our preferences, and a rotating photo carousel from a shared family album. The photo widget keeps it personal. You might be checking the calendar, but you're also catching glimpses of family vacations, silly toddler moments, and our favorite everyday snapshots. The smart home control panel is where the Echo Show 15 really earns its keep as a hub. Beyond organization and control, it's also an entertainment screen. It has built-in Fire TV, so I can stream Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube, and more directly on the display. Most of the time, I keep it in "mission control" mode, but sometimes I'll put on the local news while I'm making dinner, or watch an F1 race highlight while I stir a sauce that requires constant attention. Sorta random, but one thing I really like is that I can "drop in" via video to say hi to whoever is in the kitchen, which is great when one of us is out of town and wants to say hello to the kids. Using FaceTime works fine, but it's dependent on someone holding their phone up to others while everyone talks, which sucks if they're in the middle of doing something. Plus, phone screens are small. When I video chat on the Echo, it's a big, clear display, no hands required. The sound and volume are also better. This week alone, the Echo Show 15 has run three labeled timers while I was cooking an elaborate meal, played "Let It Go" from Frozen on command to end a toddler meltdown, warned me about an incoming afternoon rainstorm despite it being a heatwave so the kids could grab their raincoats on their way out, added oat milk to the shopping list mid-coffee pour, displayed a live baby monitor feed while I prepped lunch, let me know that my favorite baseball team got absolutely destroyed during an away game, and delivered a five-minute news update from NPR while I folded cloth napkins. None of these are flashy tech miracles, but together they make the day run more smoothly. The beauty of the Echo Show is that it doesn't require constant tinkering. You can display it horizontally or vertically — whatever works for you. Reviewers are split 50/50 on how they display it. Half mount it to the wall, the other put it on a stand. Some get really creative with how it's mounted, so it looks like it's part of a gallery wall. Some people mount it to their bathroom mirror. You can also display it vertically — it'll rotate the screen so everything still looks good. It also helps that the device is aesthetically pleasing. The clean design and slim bezel means it blends into the kitchen instead of looking like a big piece of tech taking up counter space. If I wanted to, I could mount it so it looks like framed art, but the stands works better for us since it's easier to move if we ever want to shift things around. The screen itself is bright and large enough to read from a distance, which is something smaller devices can't really match. Living in a multigenerational household means there's a constant flow of information, needs, and schedules to keep track of. The Echo Show has become the quiet extra set of hands that remembers what's running low, keeps track of where everyone needs to be, entertains when needed, and makes sure the important stuff doesn't slip through the cracks. I originally bought it on a whim, wondering if it would be one of those "will this make me the person I want to be?" purchases. Instead, it turned out to be something far from practical, a device that actually makes our daily life easier, keeps the whole family on the same page, and looks good doing it. It's not just another smart display. It's the nerve center of our home. And for a busy family like mine, that makes it worth every penny we spent on it. Get the Amazon Echo Show 15 from Amazon for $299.99.

I wouldn't have an issue with gaming going all digital if it still wasn't so anti-consumer
There was a time when I naively thought that digital games would be one of the most important revolutions in gaming. It had been the norm in the PC gaming space for years before it even started becoming viable for consoles, but starting with the Xbox 360 and PS3 generations, things really started kicking off. We moved from downloadable demos to indie games to full titles within the span of a generation. By the midpoint of the PS4 generation, digital sales were already starting to overtake physical ones. But despite how much more of the market they were taking up, I wasn't seeing any of the platforms adapting in the ways I expected. We've been coasting on how convenient digital games are to access for over a decade now when they lack in every other regard compared to physical media. We're already seeing PlayStation and Xbox easing us into an all-digital future by phasing out disc drives, and I would be shocked if the PS6 or next Xbox even has one by default. I appreciate the need for physical games to stick around for preservation, but that's not the main reason I still reject the notion of an all-digital library in the future. That would be the simple fact that the system, at least on consoles, is stubbornly anti-consumer. The future of gaming is stuck in the past Digital games aren't the future of gaming, they're the present. I understand there is a passionate section of the audience who will fight tooth and nail against the all-digital future, but the truth is it has already arrived. Just this year, Sony's earnings report revealed that 76% of all sales on the PS5 and PS4 were digital, and that number has been steadily rising over the years. We're also starting to see physical games appearing on shelves that are boxes with download codes inside rather than discs. Physical games won't go away overnight, but I suspect they will become more of a niche and enthusiast thing. Recommended Videos The loss of physical media is a topic on its own, but I think the two are intertwined. My hope for digital games was that they would be more convenient, cheaper, and easier to manage. In reality, only the first part has come true. Even though digital games don't require printing and shipping physical goods, companies have simply maintained the standard pricing for new games. That's a dream I admit I never should've expected to come true. If a company has a way to save money, it isn't going to willingly pass those savings on to us. It sucks, but it is what it is. Where my real issue with digital games comes in is that nebulous 'easier to manage' statement I made. I say it that way because there's no clean term for the flexibility physical games have that digital ones simply don't. The options we have with our digital games haven't evolved much at all since the first versions of the PSN and Xbox stores and that's an inexcusable problem. Where's my option to sell digital games? Why can't I trade or give a game as a gift? How come the act of even getting a refund is borderline impossible? These are all such basic consumer rights that we've seen solutions to elsewhere — mostly on Steam — that I can't help but think it is being deliberately withheld from consoles to maintain that level of control. I could forgive it in the early years, but we're three generations deep and only Nintendo has taken even the slightest steps to improve this system with its Virtual Game Cards. I refuse to believe that Nintendo is the only company able to figure out a way to make sharing digital games simple and (somewhat) convenient on console. I can appreciate that sharing or trading games could open up a lot of doors for exploitation within these systems, but a few bad actors can't be cause enough to deny us those basic consumer rights. And this is why I use the anti-consumer buzzword. I see it thrown around a lot to describe things we simply don't like, but this is one instance where I think it is apt because we're getting a worse product in digital games than physical ones. Yes, the content of the games themselves is the same, but the lack of freedom in what we can do with them is totally one-sided toward the corporations. Virtual Game Cards are a long-overdue first step toward reaching some sort of parity between digital and physical games. If PlayStation and Xbox expect me to fully commit to digital games by the time next generation rolls around, I need to see a full revamp in how they let me handle those games. Refunds, selling, trading, and gifting are the bare minimum of what we deserve.
