The Stone of Madness on Steam The Stone of Madness is a real-time tactical stealth game set in an 18th-century Spanish Monastery. Five prisoners pool their skills and resources to face their phobias, stave off insanity, uncover th...

The Stone of Madness. Commandoslike stealth tactical action in a medieval Spanish asylum. The setting is very distinct, but control is finicky, and some of the more daring mechanics (like each character having a very specific fear) didn't really blossomed in the demo.

ANTONBLAST on Steam ANTONBLAST is a fast-paced explosive action platformer that's all about destruction. Play as the enraged Dynamite Anton (or his cranked-out coworker Annie) and use your Mighty F’n Hammer to demolish b...

Antonblast by Summitsphere. The *other* Wariolike, but this throws any restraint out of the window; the amount of Juice™ on this would absolutely kill a victorian child. It is so extra it distracts from some of the game many qualities, like flowing level design, sharp animation and art direction.

Silent Sadie on Steam Dive into Silent Sadie, a puzzle-platformer in Hollywood's golden age. Join Sadie on her quest to become a star, tackling puzzles, stealth challenges, and fast-paced platforming. Inspired by silent fi...

Silent Sadie by Kapra Games.A silent film platformer with lovely musical integration(piano plimps as you jump, drum rolls as you fall).The movement kit feels at odds with the theming; bizarre pivot into stealth by the end too.An entire game's worth of different environments in just over a half hour.

Monomyth on Steam MONOMYTH is an immersive, first-person dungeon-crawling RPG inspired by the genre's late classics. Embark on a journey through a vast and highly interactive game world as you unravel the mysteries hid...

Monomyth by Rat Tower. Very traditional dungeon-crawler-imsim while being refreshingly without grongnardiness (map available from start, unlimited quicksaves). Lovely physical interactions with the world. Very meat and potatoes, a filling meal nonetheless. And guess what? Dark Messiah kick.

VOIN on Steam Fight hordes of enemies in fast-paced first-person hack-and-slash battles. Explore the world of dark fantasy filled with secrets and dangers, and master your skill of wielding primordial elements.

Voin by Nikita Sozidar. Hyperkinetic first-person arpg with generous hitstop and melee reach and tasty dash-stop-dash combat rhythm. There are some loot shenanigans I did not care for, but I loved the open-ended exploration and Sakurai-esque pick-your-own difficulty. Also has Dark Messiah kick.

HARK THE GHOUL on Steam Slash, kick and magick your way through an adventure brimming with secrets and curious encounters! HARK THE GHOUL offers a meticulously handcrafted world to explore, inspired by the interconnected nat...

Hark the Ghoul by Deep Denizens.My heart flutters knowing that kingsfieldlikes are a thing now. This one does the homework well, with with combat balanced between jank and acessible and twisty turny world design. It borrows too much from its inspirations for my tastes, though. Has Dark Messiah kick.

Silly Polly Beast on Steam This story is about a girl who, by the will of fate, faced the beast, and in order to become free she was forced to study its nature. A story-driven shooter with aggressive gunfights and terrifying mo...

Silly Polly Beast by Anji. A very cool, very stylized action-heavy survival-horror with an involved and emotional narrative, surreal sensibilities and a sense of real danger. Very interesting urban decay setting and some lovely catholic-guilt-core entities. A real gem, this one.

Mandragora on Steam Slash, burn, and rage your way through Mandragora, a 2.5D side-scroller action-RPG with deep Metroidvania and Soulslike elements. Light your Witch Lantern, enter the dark realm of Entropy, and tear re...

Mandragora by Primal Game Studio. Triple-A-as-fuck side-souls, with punchy combat, an enormous talent tree, and all other expected beats from a contemporary ARPG. Not exactly original, but the subtly stylized art direction and impressive environments make up for it.

10 Dead Doves on Steam 10 Dead Doves is a single-player, fixed-perspective narrative horror set in the heart of Appalachia. Avoid strange noises, collect lifelines, and creep through a forest that seems to hate you. Will yo...

10 Dead Doves by Duonix Studios. A peculiar tank-control narrative adventure. Whole thing was done by a couple of dudes, and it very much shows, in its oddball visual presentation and amateurish yet charming voice acting; an interesting contrast with its cinematic ambitions. Script is wonky though.

Symphonia on Steam Awaken an expansive musical realm in this non-violent and poetic platformer. In Symphonia, you'll use the power of your violin coupled with your platforming skills to gather an orchestra to bring the ...

Symphonia by Sunny Peak. Intoxicatingly gorgeous precision platformer themed around classical music. The whole motif is very skin-deep, as the level design feels more attuned for speedruns than contemplation. Has a very distinct movement in bouncing your character and flinging yourself from objects.

The Posthumous Investigation on Steam Find yourself caught in a time loop in noir-inspired Brazil while investigating the mystery behind the murder of wealthy aristocrat Brás Cubas. Utilize the loop's supernatural peculiarities to uncover...

The Posthumous Investigation by Mother Gaia Studio. A Machado-de-Assis-inspired time-loop detective game, it takes familiar elements (collecting and presenting evidence, interrogating suspects) in very crunchy, gamey ways that feels downright Ace Attorney.

Letalis on Steam Letalis is a a non-linear RPG set in coliseums controlled by Caesars, where you train warriors called 'Letalis' to fight for “Glory or Death”. Delve into a unique journey with over a thousand Letalis,...

Letalis by Monkiato.Pokémon with gladiators! Haven't seen this concept since Gladius.It adheres closely to that series in its identical aesthetics, which feels a bit at odds with the theme and the presence of permadeath(!). Combat feels a bit simple at the start, but show signs of interesting depth.

Did you hear that? Hear what? Is anyone hearing this? Probably not. Either way, part 3 of the Steam Next Games to Add to Your Backlog coming atcha! This is the last one so I can finally stop playing demos and do my chores thank god

StarVaders on Steam Defend the Earth from an alien invasion in the ULTIMATE fusion of deckbuilding and grid-based tactics. Pilot a mech, discover game-breaking combos, and protect the future of humanity in this endlessly...

StarVaders by StarVaders Studio. Roguelike deckbuilder with a sprinkling of tactical positioning; has an intriguing mechanic in how you can overspend resources by inutilizing cards, but not very much new gameplay-wise (aside from tons of polish and that overdone retro anime vibe).

DEATHGRIP on Steam DEATHGRIP is a scifi combat-racer focused on exhilarating speeds and challenging tracks.

DEATHGRIP by Reclaim Interactive. A modernization of Star Wars Racer, with more complex mechanics, pod customization, great sense of speed and even combat? Don't mind if I do! I even appreciate how actually hard it is, making the experience a bit deeper than just spectacle.

The Spirit of the Samurai on Steam A village in peril. A samurai reanimated. An Oni advancing. Fight an army of undead warriors and Japanese monsters as a human, a Kodama, and a cat in this 2D stop-motion action adventure.

The Spirit of the Samurai by Digital Mind Games. Impressively photorealistic visuals, paired with intentionally jerky animations to great stop-motion effect. Combat is simple but hints at depth with the combo building, and the monster designs are top notch.
