NICOSIA, Cyprus – May 22, 2026 – CRITICAL REFLEX is thrilled to introduce two unique indie titles to their CR Channel publishing lineup, joining horror hits like Mouthwashing, No, I’m not a Human, and Buckshot Roulette. The new duo is made up of INFINITE ANIMAL’s Grindset T.V., a fast-paced, movement-based speedrunner in a distorted and labyrinthine world, and Tiny Chills - Not From Ear, a grotesque ear-cleaning body horror game from Ducktopus Games.

The gig worker hivemind is now. The gig worker hivemind is you. Grindset T.V. is an open-world, first-person, speedrunning platformer for the freaks. Deliver packages throughout Port St. Love, a city where religious zealotry and capitalist exploitation have become one. Navigate hyper-fast “movement puzzles” in a densely interconnected world as you climb the global leaderboards and lose yourself in NPC quests, secrets, and surreal vignettes. Whether you dig speedrunning, exploring, or chaining grinds and wallruns, Grindset T.V. is the fast-paced, non-linear, creatively dynamic experience for you.

Welcome, Doctor, to Velviano, a small town plagued by disappearances and grotesque anomalies, where the locals keep complaining about ringing in their ears or even feeling things scratching beneath their flesh. Dig into your patients’ auditory canals to remove the rotting growths, insects and all manner of things that should never be found in any human ear to uncover this community’s unsettling secrets in Ducktopus' unnatural body horror game: Tiny Chills - Not From Ear.
