Owlcat Games Reveals New Trailers for Rue Valley, Shadow of the Road, and Nested Lands at OTK Showcase

Today, publisher Owlcat Games released new trailers for three upcoming indie titles at the OTK Games Expo: narrative-driven Disco-like Rue Valley, turn-based tactical RPG Shadow of the Road, and multiplayer settlement survival Nested Lands (published by the Owlcat Games sub-label META Publishing). Each trailer highlights new gameplay mechanics, updated visuals, and new pieces of lore for players to get lost in.

About Rue Valley

Rue Valley is a deeply personal narrative game about a man’s journey of self-discovery and resilience on his quest to break free from a mysterious time loop. Each day feels like an uphill battle against the shadows of your own mind. Along the way, you will encounter a captivating ensemble of characters, each wrestling with their own emotional complexities and revealing hidden depths as you get to know them.

Memories are stored in a graph, unlocking intentions and mindsets as you progress uniquely through the story. Commit to quirky mindsets for unexpected and hilarious dialogues, and experience personality-altering Status Effects: become more outgoing when drunk, or extra sensitive when anxious.

About Nested Lands

A devastating plague has swept through the world, transforming it beyond recognition. A once lush, peaceful kingdom is now dark and mangled, with droves of bloodthirsty bandits and unpredictable madmen twisted by the plague roaming the lands. Show any sign of weakness, and death will come swiftly and painfully. There is no place for hope here; the remnants of humans, embittered and mutilated, can only pray to live another day.

In Nested Lands, you’ll start from nothing, rising to overcome monumental challenges and make your fame echo across the kingdom. Craft all the tools and resources you need to survive a harsh, highly interactive environment, build a settlement from the ground up, battle vicious foes, and recruit allies to help you. The unpredictably harsh weather and the coming winter are also your sworn enemies, and the highly detailed world full of random events won’t grant you a single moment’s rest. Every decision you make will be carefully watched and evaluated.

The trailer showcases updates made in response to player feedback during the Alpha playtest, including: a fully rebuilt Village Management system, a completely reworked combat system, brand-new animations and NPC systems, new buildings and polished graphics, a fully rebuilt Plague system, and much more.
