Double Fine's $5 Thank You Bus Driver launches from new Action Labs label

Double Fine Productions has released Thank You Bus Driver, a $5 game available on Steam, Epic Games Store, Itch.io, GOG, Humble Store and Game Jolt. It is the first project from Double Fine Action Labs, the studio's label for smaller experimental games, according to Engadget.

In the game, players take the role of a bus driver who must enforce rules set by an employer, such as stopping passengers from sleeping or clipping their toenails. Drivers can also slap or kick passengers off the bus.

Also out now is Valor Mortis, a first-person Soulslike from developer One More Level, published by Lyrical Games and One More Level. It costs $40 and is available on Steam, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, including via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Valor Mortis follows William, a British soldier roused by a corrupted Napoleon voiced by Vincent Cassel. A $60 deluxe edition includes an expansion planned for next year.
