Playstack, a London-based game publisher and TruFin subsidiary (TRU ), has released its new title The Entropy Centre. The game was developed by Stubby Games, a UK-based indie developer, and published by PlayStack.
The Entry Centre is a first-person sci-fi puzzle game where players navigate an abandoned space station and use ASTRA, a talking 'entropy' gun with time-bending abilities, to overcome challenges and ultimately save the Earth from destruction.
The Entry Centre is out today on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Harvey Elliott, CEO of Playstack, commented: "The Entropy Centre is a prime example of what we look for at Playstack. It is a witty and smart puzzle game that is resonating with fans. Following a great response so far, we are looking forward to seeing the impact the game will have on release."
Daniel Stubbington, Founder of Stubby Games, said: "It is hard to put into words just how dizzying and exciting this journey has been. Only two years ago The Entropy Centre was merely an idea that danced through my head while I tried to sleep, and now here we are with the game's official release on PC and console. I cannot thank Playstack and our fans enough for their support."

PlayStack continues to deliver on its three-year plan to accelerate growth through 2024. The company acquired Magic Fuel Games for US$3m in June, and secured publishing rights for three new games in 1H22. Two of those have now been released - The Case of the Golden Idol in August, and The Entropy Centre today.
Both games made the front page of Steam's NextFest Puzzle subgenre. The Entropy Centre also found itself on the front page of the Adventure subgenre and is on the cusp of hitting the coveted Main front page. Overall, critics have responded positively to the Entry Centre so far.
TruFin raised £8m in March to fund growth of Satago and Playstack. As a result, Playstack has expanded and accelerated its development schedule. The company recorded 4% growth to £2.3m in 1H22 and its 2022 console line-up has now garnered 1 million views on streaming platforms.
Overall, TruFin continues to successfully implement its core strategy of investing in companies early, and guiding them though growth, profitability, and eventually exit. TruFin's revenue is on track to triple from 2021, driven primarily by Satago at this stage, but with steady revenues and cash flow across its entire portfolio.
