Much-anticipated 'horror Balatro' delays launch to dodge Hollow Knight Silksong

It takes a special kind of game to inspire a flock of other developers to follow in its wake. Dark Souls is one. Rogue another, although many younger roguelike players have no clue where the name comes from. Many are starting to coin the term 'Balatro-like,' as well. CloverPit is one of many such games, inspired by LocalThunk's effortlessly engaging poker roguelike. Replace the deck of cards with a one-armed bandit, and add in a sprinkle of scares, and you've got a recipe for success. However, CloverPit developer Panik Arcade has had to push its release back, and it's all down to Hollow Knight: Silksong.
