NEW YORK, Sept 21 — Check out trailers for astonishingly well animated cartoon-style comedy Later Alligator, a slide-tackle through the grungier side of soccer-related stories in Football Drama, the unexpected sequel to classic romcom Groundhog Day that turned out to be a VR game, unnerving and adorable Little Misfortune, and sci-fi detective mystery AI: The Somnium Files, all five of which are in stores this week.

Later Alligator
A smoothly animated and very silly detective mystery taking place in a New York City populated by green and chatty gators. Available for Mac and PC.

Football Drama
Soccer at its bawdiest and grimmest, away from the glitz and glamour of a FIFA opening ceremony: super simple matchday play, and focusing on the stories on and off the pitch as managers negotiate conversations with players, press, staff and families—even a pet cat. Available now for iOS, Android, Mac and PC.

Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son
Who expected a sequel to 1993 Bill Murray comedy Groundhog Day, least of all one that’s a virtual reality game? In this timeloop adventure, Phil Connors Jr. finds himself in the town of Punxsutawney, trying to work out what it means to live a perfect day. Available for PlayStation 4 PSVR and Windows PC VR headsets Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.
