feath is a software developer whose Windows tool VOrbit ASMR was announced on September 8, with a free Steam playtest recruiting about 30 participants. The studio's earlier coverage concerns Didi Long Games' birdwatching deck-builder Feather Trace, planned for 2027.
feath works on software for 2D VTubers. On September 8 the studio announced VOrbit ASMR, a Windows application that acts as a virtual dummy head microphone. It reads tracking data from VTube Studio, nizima LIVE, and VMC Protocol apps, and places the user's mic input as binaural audio in space, so the avatar's movement moves the voice. The tool removes the need for a dedicated dummy head microphone by relying on the streamer's existing mic and tracking setup.
A free Steam playtest is recruiting about 30 participants and runs for two weeks to a month. The playtest is meant to check how the approach holds up across different hardware, apps, and network conditions. No release date, price, or platform beyond Windows has been stated for VOrbit ASMR.
The other story in the cluster is not about feath. It covers Feather Trace, a deck-building birdwatching game from the Chinese indie studio Didi Long Games, announced with an open Steam page and planned for 2027. It is set in a future where ecological domes protect endangered birds, and players observe birds through non-combat card matches and fill an encyclopedia that drives story progression. Nothing in that announcement ties the game to feath.

Featherweight Games released Chained Beasts on October 16, 2026. The gladiator roguelike supports up to four players in co-op, with characters physically chained to one another inside an arena. Poor coordination lets the chains snag on pillars and obstacles, dragging a team down. Good coordination lets players hook the same chains onto enemies. The game ships on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with Japanese language support. The base price is 2,600 yen, and the PC version is discounted to 1,690 yen through October 30. Platform pricing differs: the PlayStation 5 version costs 3,080 yen and the Nintendo Switch version costs 3,000 yen, while the Xbox Series X|S version is listed at 2,350 yen. As players raise their fame in the arena, new bosses and heroes appear. Skills and purchased equipment can change a run, and medicines that ease wounds carry side effects.
