Unique upcoming games (that you haven't heard about)

Clive N Wrench - Always happy to see more 3D platformers.
The Wild At Heart - Art looks so nice on this one.

Some more :)

1. Still There

   Still There is a psychological adventure game. Manage a space lighthouse and deal with mysterious radio messages, shameless AIs and sociopathic people in charge, while finding your true self in a galaxy way too far, far away.

2. Transient

   H.P. Lovecraft meets Cyberpunk. Delve deep into an obscure dystopian world and hold firm to your consciousness, when you stumble upon the terrifying truth about your life in a domed city, a truth that might tear apart your own sanity and question your very existence.

Adding one more for now :) Really like the art style/ clay-like look here!

Eggoria

Digdog Studio's new Building/Survival Game, manage mysterious eggs, survive in an unlimited world, run away from darkness, build, research, craft, rest, prey, build your own tribe or even a town. Finally beat the darkness or live with it.

View attached image.

Skatebird

Drop in, and be a skateboarding bird. Grind on bendy straws, kickflip over staplers, and carve killer lines through a cardboard and sticky tape world. Skatebird can't fly, but on a board, they soar.

Currently running a Kickstarter campaign.

Godhood

Create your own religion! Guide and develop your faithful disciples in the strategy god game Godhood. Select their virtues and vices. Inspire them to construct great temples, ready for rituals to be held in your honor. Convert worshippers, defeat your rivals, and become the most powerful god of all!

From the developers behind Reus and Renowned Explorers.

Backspace Bouken

Backspace Bouken is a Japanese-inspired old-school dungeon crawler with a fast-paced typing battle system and ridiculous storyline. Fight monsters by typing their dialogue as you progress through the game and climb the tower. Fast and accurate typing will be rewarded, and maybe you'll even become a better typer!

Conglomerate 451

Conglomerate 451 is a grid-based, dungeon crawling first-person RPG with roguelike elements set in a cyberpunk world.

That pretty much ticks all the boxes for me.

There's a lot of great games in this thread and I'd like to take a moment to plug one. If you like the original Zelda, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or games like it I have a feeling you will love this. Hazelnut Bastille

Hazelnut Bastille had a kickstarter goal of $65,000 and finished with $177,000 and had over 4k backers. It will be releasing on Windows, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Switch and PS4 with the estimated delivery to backers in October 2020.

You can watch the first trailer here

If it looks appealing to you can download the demo on the Aloft Studio website

If you enjoy playing games like Staxel, My Time at Portia and Harvest Moon, I think you'd like this as well :)

Farm Folks

A farming simulator/RPG with a nod to the classic Harvest Moon series. Grow crops, raise livestock, build relationships, go on adventures, and more!

I will just leave it here :)

Ostriv has a Steam page!

Ostriv is a city-building game that puts you in a role of a governor of an 18th century town to challenge your creative skills and management abilities.

.

Ostriv aims to raise the bar of city-building experience by adding a huge amount of possibilities and removing annoying limitations. It allows for truly organic town layouts without the grid and angle restrictions on a three-dimensional landscape. The goal is to make player’s creations to become alive and believable communities where real-life problems would arise, thus making the late game a new challenge rather than a repetitive chore.

Adding 5 more :)

1. Alchemy Story

Discover a world of magic, cute creatures and adventure in Alchemy Story, a casual farming simulation game! Grow your garden, brew potions, care for your pets and meet new friends!

• If you really liked My Time at Portia, Staxel and Verdant Skies, you'll love this one :)

2. Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is an engaging strategy game set in a dark vampire world in turmoil, that combines empire management and turn-based combat with unique card-game elements.

• I checked out the beta (1st mission of the first campaign where you play as the vampire faction) and it was fun! It's just that the game still has some glitches; it isn't well-optimized yet; and well, the game crashed at the end :P

3. Frontline ZED

In the midst of a zombie outbreak, defend your fortified barricade by night, and collect weapons and conduct repairs by day. Survive long enough to make your way through America and towards rescue.

• I've always liked zombie survival games and this one looks interesting enough :)

4. Monster Sanctuary

Monster taming meets metroidvania. Collect, train and battle monsters in a lovely side-view pixel world.

5. Decay of Logos

Immerse yourself in the world of Decay Of Logos and unravel its mysteries. Explore old dungeons, battle unforgiving foes and journey through a vibrant interconnected fantasy realm with your mystical elk companion.

4. Monster Sanctuary

Monster taming meets metroidvania. Collect, train and battle monsters in a lovely side-view pixel world.

Wow, Thanks a lot ! :o Maybe I'll give it a try, when it'll be available.

By the way, nobody tells about Summer Catchers ?
It's a really great and refreshing endless runner / Road Trip story. And maybe my best Indie-game surprise-discovery, this past month.

MO:Astray

The game seems to take inspiration from Ori and the Blind Forests movement system, and has a rather decent pixel art based aesthetic. I think it looks fun (though its a shame all the NPCs / enemies move like badly animated puppets).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/593640/Papetura/

Papetura is an atmospheric point & click, adventure game, handcrafted entirely out of paper. Little creatures Pape and Tura will face monsters that will try to burn down their beloved paper world.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/986350/Schizm_3_Nemezis/

Do you remember game Schizm? Two characters-tourists, each one in different parallel dimension. Enjoy mysteries of the split planet Argilus. Find out what secret residents keep. Solve challanging, but not-linear puzzles of the world. Get guide's help when stuck.

Looks like a pretty cool game :) -----> Buoyancy

Buoyancy is a city-building strategy game where you build, manage, and move a floating city on an oceanic world. Explore and scavenge resources scattered around the endless waters. Keep your villagers nourished and happy while combating fires, sickness, and pirate attacks.

Adding 2 puzzle games :)

1. Railed

   Railed is a casual, train-themed, open-ended puzzle game that is quick to learn, easy to play, and difficult to master. Lay railways and build tracks to connect stations and gold mines while accomplishing random challenges. Navigate mountains, bonus tiles, and your own creations to dominate a global leaderboard.

• I've played this and it's quite fun... and also tough, due to getting randomized train tracks and restrictions as to where I can place them, tbh. Here's a gameplay video if you're interested

2. Playerless: One Button Adventure

   Discover Playerless, the game set in another game. Your character has become self-aware, you can only use one button to play, the AI has formed a sect - and the game engine is a physical mechanism.

• Looks like a pretty cool puzzle game :)

Adding
Eternal Edge

Eternal Edge + is an Action Adventure role-playing game following the young hero Cross on a quest to defeat the Skeleton King, Lord of the Dead.

• Looks like a cute RPG :)

doc-OP haz been missed
