https://store.steampowered.com/app/980640/Empire_of_Ember/ In Early Access quote:A secret enemy launches a surprise attack on your home, viciously murdering your wizard master and leaving your city in ruins. No longer an apprentice, you must take charge of a magical kingdom and rule as you see fit. Looks pretty cool. Described in a user review as "Dark Messiah of Might and Magic meets Mount and Blade" which sounds dope to me.

Part of the problem with finding games on Steam is that I'm pretty sure that 'new' games are being added retroactively, so if you were to look at the games released yesterday, then come back and look at the same day a week from now, there will be even more games then there were previously, if that makes sense. It must be hell if the game you've been working on for years doesn't even get placed into the front of new releases. Anyway, here's some games from like, last week? Princess Castle Quest: A pretty competent game in the vein of Chip's Challenge, it's not in 'Early Access' but it's not fully complete either, with new levels getting added every day. 10$ seems a little pricey, but if sokoban is your thing (It is mine!) it's probably worth being in your collection https://store.steampowered.com/app/1103550/Princess_Castle_Quest/ Machinika Museum: If you've played the Room this will probably be familiar to you. Seems like it has more of a focus on a sci fi alien artifact feel over the rooms endless clockwork. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1507190/Machinika_Museum/ Rolled Out: A Super Monkey Ball tribute that's been in development for quite a while already, it's still in early access, and a little rough and short. Worth a wishlist if nothing else. https://store.steampowered.com/app/873270/Rolled_Out/ pureya: A collection of rapid fire minigames revolving around collecting marbles which you then use for gatcha. Rad. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1268960/pureya/

Just got Rhythm Doctor and it's a very relaxing and warm game. Good tunes, supports custom levels, and really scratches the Rhythm Heaven itch. Not recommended for people prone to epileptic attacks, though.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1536610/OpenTTD/ Free quote:OpenTTD is a business simulation game in which players earn money by transporting passengers and cargo via road, rail, water, and air. It is an open-source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. quote:I’ve easily spent thousands of hours playing this game. The game is highly customisable with a massive amount of NewGRFs, mods that add new station tiles, trains, buses, houses, roads, terrain, trees and many more. A popular train NewGRF that I would recommend for beginners is Iron Horse v2, which adds 120 new trains. If you want more industries, I recommend FIRS v4. If you set FIRS to Steeltown, you get 48 different cargo types and 30 different industries.

I hesitated to post about TTD this morning since it's not technically a "new" release. I highly recommend it to anybody that's into railroad tycoon style games. Even without mods it's excellent. Hopefully the steam release will expand the playerbase. Also there is / was a goon multiplayer server for it, I believe.

The Third Day: A point and click adventure starring Jesus Christ, from Family Guy.

Enjoying this. It's a free JRPG where min/max nerds can buy characters for your party. It looks like the game has around 100 characters to form up a party of 4 and you get a pile of free ones at the start and unlock dozens more as you go and complete quests. The artwork is oddly engaging to me, I really really like it. It's a direct port from a mobile game, but still looks great, and since it's a JRPG there isn't anything missing here. The music and art are just top-notch, the story is JRPG time jumping so you've got medieval and future mixing and matching. Dunno, just enjoying for what it is. It's been so long since I've played a JRPG maybe. Either way, free is free and im enjoying this more than I thought. Edit: It looks like some quests are made from other companies as well. There is a Persona quest with characters I can unlock apparently. Weird.

Promising an engaging story line, humorous dialogue, and a classic yet simple design, Pixelot is a game that is easy to pick up and hard to put down. quote:This old school tactical RPG has been made by a single developer over five long years of weekends and late nights. Our reviewer has enjoyed its excellent class diversity and generous amounts of content, though they also come with some balance issues in the late game.

Oh, you've just released a demo in the weird simulator niche, Junkyard Simulator, coming soon. That sounds interesting, I might give that a go. You also have another game in development, "Bum Simulator?" I don't think I particularly want to be giving you guys money, not with that level of reading the room (the room being the entire game playing world.) Maybe a focus test with someone who wasn't slamming energy drinks could have helped with that one?

Narrative based Puzzle platformers like Lost Words don't usually require a high level of reflex or skill to play them. They're usually made so everyone can eventually see the whole experience. There's a big difference between Wandersong and The End is Nigh. That being said here are some hard precision platformers that have come out in the last week.
