Seeing Stars is the new DLC for A Little To The Left
After Love EP is a shoegazey journey set in Jakarta
A heartfelt, music-tinged non-violent game set in modern day Jakarta. Here's a demo.
Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure looks mind-bending in a nice way
The high concept to this puzzle game makes my head hurt a little, but it's immediately soothed by the very large squirrels in the background.
Battle Vision Network is the PvP follow-up to Grindstone
Building Relationships takes a pun and runs with it
As a lover of taking a pun and running with it until the wheels fall off, I fully support this. Here's a demo.
Cairn is a survival climber
Cozy Grove Camp Spirit has some lovely bears in it
Fear the Spotlight is a Blumhouse teen horror
Hello Again is the 'world's cosiest time-loop'
It does look cosy, although surely they can squeeze in a little existential dread, as a treat.
Karma: The Dark World is a dystopian sci-fi journey
Psychological horror set in 1984 East Germany. A grab-bag of dys-tropia, but looks interesting nonetheless.
Koira is about protecting a puppy
I mean, you're not going to not help the dog, are you?
Petal Runner is about being a Tamagotchi courier
Phoenix Springs is a gorgeous point n' clicker
A neo-noir adventure game with some seriously arresting visuals.
Psychroma is a striking cyberpunk hell
Gorgeous and grimy in equal measure. Here's a demo.
Screenbound is so clever it makes my face hurt
Very much a case of a picture (or a picture-within-a-picture) being worth a thousand words here.
Simpler Times is a meditative chill explorer
The most wholesome game that ever wholesomed? You can decide yourself with this demo.
Tides of Tomorrow has a lot of water in it
Tom the Postgirl is a surreal mystery
The Steam page has 'point n' click' crossed out and replaced with 'walk n' stalk'.
UFO50 finally has a release date - September 18th
Six years! The above trailer is from six years ago! Six years all leading up to this September! Six years!
While Waiting is a game about waiting
Zoochosis has sullied giraffes for the remainder of eternity
Even worse, that pizza crust is far too thick.
I don’t like to pick favourites... so I won’t! It’s called integrity. Maybe you should try it sometime, Johnny Favourite Game. Johnny Always-Picks-A-Favourite-Game. Anyway, you lot aren’t bound to the same rigorous standards, so let me know in the comments. What’s your favourite(s) from the list? I promise I won’t email all the other devs and tell them you hate them. We're not done with June's frankly preposterous onslaught of games just yet, so make sure to check out our Summer Game Fest 2024 and Wishlisted Next Fest zones! I'm calling them 'zones' now, and there's nothing you can do about it.
The flurry of summer games events are now underway! Hit up our Summer Game Fest 2024 hub and our Day Of The Devs roundup for all the news worth caring about from the shows so far.
