Operencia: The Stolen Sun arrives on Steam March 31!

Pinball FX3 - Akos

Hi Pinballfans!

I just wanted to take a moment to feature our old-school dungeon crawler Operencia: The Stolen Sun here as well which arrives March 31. The small team behind it is one of 4 teams inside Zen, and they celebrate every wishlist they receive (so does the Steam algorithm, khm) so if you have a moment please consider clicking on that button.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/985950/Operencia_The_Stolen_Sun/

About the game:

Our modern homage to classic first-person dungeon-crawlers takes you to an unconventional fantasy world inspired by a faraway land referenced in countless Central European folktales. An old-school turn-based battle system combines with inspiration from unexplored mythology to offer an RPG experience that feels unique yet also familiar.

It is seriously fun and really scratches that itch Wizardry or Legend of Grimrock left that some of you might feel.

The game also arrives on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Gog.com March 31.

Thanks for reading!

Come one, come all! Williams™ Pinball: Volume 5 now available in Pinball FX3!

Pinball FX3 - jeno

Ladies and gentlemen, Zen Studios welcomes you to this year’s closing Williams Show!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1203510/Pinball_FX3__Williams_Pinball_Volume_5/

Our available seats are at the PlayStation 4, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Mac, Xbox One & Windows 10 parlors! We also have places in the Williams Pinball Application booth, for Android and iOS visitors. Grab your hot pretzels! Hold on to that popcorn tightly! Because tonight, we have a marvel to behold!

And now… on with the show!

First, coming deep from the bazaars of middle-east, I present to you: the Tales of the Arabian Nights! A thrilling story of magic, wonders, and tales of the old, with one key piece missing: you! A brave hero, collecting the mysterious jewels with the help of their faithful companion, Dimira, to empower your scimitar for the upcoming battle against the Evil Genie, who’s holding our beloved princess captive. Help her, and your efforts shall be rewarded!

And the show goes on! Now, on to our second performance: the marvels of Cirqus Voltaire!

“No no, my dear, don’t let the ringmaster taunt you -- he does this all the time.” Pay attention, my guests, as the balls are locking in, the rope-dancers start to ascend their poles, getting ready to position. Watch as they confidently walk on their ropes, despite the fact that each conducts electricity! Watch the Boom balloon popping, the cannon blowing, the acrobats flying. And watch this! Should you feel worthy of our ranks, we dare you to challenge us, and should you topple our obstacles, the Cirqus Voltaire welcomes you as its artist!

And last, but not least, the final act of tonight:

Two little gophers set their eyes onto something much bigger than themselves in No Good Gofers… an entire golf course! You, my dear spectator, should bring your best golf skills here, as these little ones are relentless. They will do everything to wreck your scores, and make you suffer from bogey fives! Go for those Hole-in-Ones, try to not hit the ball out of bounds, and most importantly: watch out for those little gophers, because I can assure you: they have no good intentions.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1203510/Pinball_FX3__Williams_Pinball_Volume_5/

That’s it for tonight, ladies and gentlemen. The show is over, but fear not!

The wonders of Volume 5 are available now!

See you next time!

Pinball FX3 - jeno

Surprise, surprise! Who would’ve thought that after the Halloween special we have one more trick up our sleeve? The colorful Williams™ library is getting another addition this year: meet the Williams™ Pinball: Volume 5! Three of the community’s wishes have been granted with these tables: Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cirqus Voltaire, and No Good Gofers!

The pack will be available for Pinball FX3 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One & Windows 10, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Mac. Also, you will find it added to the Williams Pinball App on the Google Play Store and Apple AppStore.

Let’s see what the tables have to offer:

- Tales of the Arabian Nights: Collect the Seven Jewels of the Arabian Nights while experiencing glorious tales like the “Tale of the Great Camel Race” or “Sinbad and the Rocs”. Wield Aladdin’s magic lamp, earn the help of Dimira, enchant your scimitar, and defeat the Evil Genie to save the Princess!

- Cirqus Voltaire: Marvel at the mysteries of the Cirqus! Meet jugglers, rope-dancers, and of course the Ringmaster himself in this late-’90s classic. Complete the 9 marvels of the table, so you can access the Wizard mode -- a thrilling test of your abilities. See if you are worthy of joining the famous Cirqus Voltaire!

- No Good Gofers: Bud and Buzz are here -- to absolutely wreck this golf course and manifest mayhem! Rockets flying, balls blazing out of bounds, and everyone trying to score that Hole-in-One! Will you master the course?

Remember, on December 10 the show begins and there’s no good chance that you would want to miss this tale!
