If you’re like me, you probably have at least one treasured memory of being allowed to play an edutainment game at school under the guise of learning. What a blast, getting to play video games at school! For me, it was a floppy disk with a bizarre Pac-Man clone where you had to answer maths questions every time you ran into an enemy or obstacle. I’m sure for others it might be unforgiving classic Oregon Trail or globetrotting trivia quiz Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
What looks like a Suika Game rip-off set to launch on PlayStation
20.12.2023 - 14:16 / eurogamer.net
Suika Game, the hit viral puzzler where you drop fruits into a container and combine them, looks set to be getting a release on PlayStation per a recent product page.
This page has raised some eyebrows, however, as the game is listed there as «The Suika Game» and not «Suika Game». The game's original developer is also not mentioned.
The original Suika Game was developed by Aladdin X and, so far, it has only been released on the Nintendo eShop, though many browser versions and clones on other platforms have since popped up.
From what has been uploaded to the PlayStation Store so far, «The Suika Game» bears a striking resemblance to Suika, reusing the artwork for the fruits and putting different emoji faces on them. No price or release date is listed.
The publisher listed for The Suika Game on PlayStation Store is Gogame Console Publisher Ltd, a company established on 2nd October 2022 in London, as recorded by Companies House, with a sole director — based in Romania.
Gogame's website is also rather bare bones — there are screenshots of a game called Constructor Simulator, but no links to it or any other game it says it has published. «Our company has been in the market for several years now,» Gogame writes on its website, despite being incorporated only last year. The Suika Game is not mentioned on Gogame's website at time of writing.
Eurogamer has contacted both Aladdin X and Gogame Console Publisher for confirmation of their involvement with The Suika Game.
Gogame has been potentially linked to Midnight Works (via Nintendo Life), a holding company with apparent links to VG Games, the company behind the knock-off version of The Last of Us which appeared on Switch eShop earlier this year, and Instamarketingandgame, the company behind a PEGI 3+ drink driving simulator also released on the eShop. Both games have since been removed from the eShop.
Out of curiosity, I decided to image search Gogame's logo and found it's similar to this logo used on the website for Goldsmith Chase, which claims to be a family-owned real estate company, just with a change of text. There's little information on Goldsmith Chase's website about where it's registered, so I've been unable to find any public listings for that company so far. The site has many links which don't work and placeholder texts, and looking at the HTML reveals it was generated from a WordPress template. It's unclear where both companies obtained the logo from.
Gogame's website has more copied content, however. Looking through its HTML, I found a number of instances where content has been taken from the website for Guerrilla Games. Gogame contains imports for the Akkurat font from Guerrilla's website, which it has presumably licensed and hosts for

The First Omen looks like a fitting beginning for the Damien, the world’s most evil child
The horror movie world is littered with prequels. Occasionally, some are great (Orphan First Kill, Annabelle Creation), most are pretty terrible (we don’t have to list those here), and at least a few are surprisingly interesting (Leatherface, Alien: Covenant, Dominion: A Prequel to The Exorcist). Now The Omen is adding a new prequel of its own to the list, called The First Omen, and the initial teaser seems to start things off on the right track.
