As we enter mid-September, this week's gaming releases offer diverse experiences. The major launch is Aniimo, a free-to-play, next-gen creature-catching open-world RPG arriving Wednesday, September 16. Players explore the vast continent of Idyll, Twine with unique Aniimo, unlock abilities, and visit a sky-floating metropolis to meet other Pathfinders.

Monday brings Creator Chronicles, a simulation RPG where you become a guild master instead of an adventurer. Develop your town, recruit members, and conquer dungeons in this "game within a game." Tuesday features Active Matter, an action horror FPS with PvP battles. As an operative stuck in a time loop, you harvest active matter in quantum unstable zones while fighting rivals from other timelines and surviving physics-breaking anomalies.

Wednesday also sees Blackwood, where you manage a DVD shop in an authentic recreation of New York, 2012 by day and work as a contract killer by night. Thursday offers a demo for Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, continuing Nihon Falcom's legendary saga as Estelle Bright journeys across Liberl. Additional early access titles round out the week.
