Designer Vlaada Chvátil seems like a mainstay at Czech Games Edition, which has published many titles from him since 2007, including Galaxy Trucker, Space Alert, Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization, and (of course) Codenames — but he does venture out from under the CGE umbrella every so often.

His latest such release will be Severton, debuting in 2025 from Czech publisher Albi. Here's an overview of this 1-5 player game:
Severton is an old-school co-operative game set in the world of Rychlé šípy — that is, The Rapid Arrows, a Czech comic book and novel series by Jaroslav Foglar set in 1930s Czechoslovakia that was inspired by the mysterious atmosphere of Old Prague.

In the game, players take the role of a group of friends who are trying to uncover the secrets of Severton – the old neighborhood somewhere in Prague that's ruled by ruthless groups of Vonts. Progress through various scenarios, each with different challenges lying ahead of you. Uncover the movements of Vont patrols and try to avoid them, sneak your way around them, talk yourself out of trouble, or simply use your fists to get the upper hand.
