In Stars And Time
The last chapter of an adventure with your new friends. It’s just you, your team, and the final big boss that you have to defeat. Let’s all wish for a safe and bright future, and go kick some crabbing butt.

Interior Worlds
A liminal spaces photography game about navigating familiar spaces with eerie atmospheres.
-

Cocoon
Funky little puzzle game about a moth person doing… Something? Not sure, really, this game is one of those ones with literally zero dialogue, zero setup (other than you pop out of a weird cyber cocoon), and zero answers. You kinda just go through the areas presented to you and figure out puzzles to advance.

A Place Full of Cats
Cat spotting. It’s like bird watching. A relaxing activity for when you’re struggling and life is being overwhelming and you just want something to do to take your mind off it.
-

Nova Lands
A cute automation incremental game in the same style as Forager but a little smaller in scope.
-

TEVI
A slightly less hard-core Rabi Ribi, with a tighter story and more elaborate combat system. And yes, I compare to Rabi Ribi because this isn’t just a spiritual sequel, it’s also by the same developers.

The Elephant Collection
So do you remember those flash elephant games from when the internet used to be good? This is them bringing that through to Steam in a playable form.

My Time At Sandrock
I like this game. They managed to make a sequel to My Time At Portia, and make the story and distinct while leaving a recognisable gameplay loop.

Bombe
Minesweeper automation game. Mix up a couple good genres and you end up with a good game, a game where with a bit of setup, you can clear 4000 levels in less than a minute. Im frankly surprised rn that I only have 3 different minesweeper reviews, and not more. Bombe is a game where…

VIVID/STASIS
From the casual rhythm game to a more intensive one, VIVID/STASIS looks like it’d play like Sound Voltex, but instead of being 6 key, it’s described by the developers as a “4 over 2 key game”. There is also a surprisingly compelling story with some particularly unique ARG elements and mysteries that have had my…
