Got anything interesting lurking in your lists of games you’re lurking on?
I’d totally forgotten about this one–which apparently was originally listed as coming 2020 and hasn’t had a peep in years soooo this may be all that’s ever seen of it:
Shoebill
This might be the game I’ve had on my Steam wish list longer than any other.
Memory of a Broken Dimension
I still check on this one regularly.
been over five years since this developer’s release and i have interacted with him a couple times. pleasant guy that makes small, snappy games
still hoping showa american story isn’t vaporware
This one’s free but I have yet to install it.
Not exactly on the wishlist, but I’ve been hoping this Mega Man fan game would come out since… forever ago.
I am gonna list the ones I always do, plus one I rarely mention.
Played an alpha version of this years ago, neat scanning creatures metrovania.
Inspired by the same game Patrick’s Parabox was, but goes its own way with it.
I have no idea if this will be good at all, but I still love this gif.
First person climbing game made by someone who made one of my favorite giant charity bundle games which was also a first person climbing game.
Rfdshir has such a distinct aesthetic and I am curious if it’ll ever be paired with a substantial game.
reminds me a little of the Prince of Persia thing where you plunge a knife into drapery to safely descend to the floor
Sega Rally type fan game
2D mech action, nice pixel art
I had a chance to play a demo of this game a couple years ago. It was fun back then and I look forward to seeing the final version. It’s about birds.
This one has been on my list for a long time.
Hey, Lorn’s Lure actually has a release date now and it is only three and a half weeks away.
Unfortunately I tried the demo (which is from a near release build) and it has some rather bad screen tearing which based on the steam forums the dev might not have a great grasp on (their solution of v sync only working with the FPS set to unlimited is both odd and not helping) which is a concerning sign.
I liked this game’s demo, several years ago. Episode 1 has been on my wish list for quite a while. That’s still in development but they are putting out some kind of shorter chapter in a week or two.
Generally my wishlist is stuff i see on sale and think “this is interesting but theres no way I have the patience to play it rn” & also, not unrelated, i think im generally addicted to 7/10 games
anyways, recent stuff on there
Last Days of Lazarus
Seems like a chill adventure game with a slightly spooky vibe and a collab between two romanian studios w/ a heavy emphasis on Romanian culture/setting (per some of their copy). The shiny 3d poser models + oblivion style environments put me off.
Guardian of Lore
Bit noisy but I like the 2d + 3d model look of this, the digital painting stuff is reminiscent of like hidden object games to me (complimentary). Recovering/playing through indigenous Latin American myths is a cool hook but i get the sense the game will not feel particularly good to press button in & upgrade tree implies might be a bit overlong if thats the case.
Murder on the Marine Express
I like the idea of unabashedly ripping off a beloved book for ur visual novel & then filling it with retro pc pixely art. Not the first to do it & ppl seem to say the English translation is clunky (devs native language is Spanish) but i do like the pixely art
IDEA
Fun concept, you bounce a little icon around fmv environments filmed from above under a time constraint, either taking a path to its conclusion & getting an ending (art?) or, if ur too slow, typing a note for others that shows up where u ran out of time. I like that one of the reviews say its too difficult, thats intriguing to me
(Currently early access, guess I’m waiting on that, also hoping maybe they’ll add gamepad support and an option to turn off the mild flashing FX)
