WORJONG, a Mahjong Game Built From English Words, Launches on Steam October 30
Solo developer KEN (Circle KEN) of Aichi Prefecture is making WORJONG, in which you draw and discard letter tiles from A to Z and win by completing four three-letter English words. A hand starts at 11 tiles; you draw one and build four words. One rule unique to WORJONG is that when another player wins, your hand carries over into the next round. The “E” tile doubles as mahjong’s East wind. Modes include solo matches against the CPU and online matches for up to four players, and the game also has a hint feature. The game supports English.

Tidy Till Dawn, a Late-Night Convenience Store Cleanup Game, Is Now Due in October
Tidy Till Dawn is a first-person tidying puzzle in which you put goods scattered across a late-night convenience store floor back on the shelves. There are 372 kinds of items, about 4,000 pieces in all, and a playthrough takes about three hours. When you hold an item, white marks the correct shelf spot and red marks the wrong shelves. Experience points unlock skills such as Item Radar. The Steam version is awaiting the result of its final review, so its planned October 5 release has slipped to sometime in October. The game has also added original radio programming in Japanese and English that plays in the store. It supports English audio and subtitles.
