Nightmare

Weird old unreleased arcade game

Time Gal

An entry in the full animation / laserdisc INSTANT DEATH genre that I wasn't familiar with.



With an 80's anime girl, of course.

Along with the Dragon's Lair style "push the indicated button at the right time", you also have some points where you have to choose from a menu. Only one choice won't kill you. MORE QUARTERS FOR THE QUARTER GODS.

Black Closet trailer

(If that doesn't embed properly for you, you can also click through here to see it.)

Coming soon!

Also - we're giving away a free copy of Sword Daughter. See here for information!

Child of Light

Interesting look to it, although it doesn't feel very RPG most of the time. I have some dubiousness towards ubisoft but worth seeking more information at least.

High School Dreams

I know, you totally want to see a Western 3d hot-pink mall-bunny dating sim, like, for sure.



Compared to some of the monstrosities I've seen on DS, though? This doesn't actually look that bad. I mean, it's still the sort of bizarre shopping-focused fictional high school experience that is alien to me outside of television, but at least the people involved have put some effort in and the writing on display doesn't make me want to track the authors down and shove them into lockers. And the game's only five bucks so if the style works for you, have fun.

Maldita Castilla

Was bored today and browsing through a thread of LPs of "hard games", thus stumbling across this little gem, inspired by Ghosts n Goblins (which I never actually played)



Anyway, it looks pretty neat and is apparently free so should be checked out!

As You Wish

As part of our ongoing campaign to conquer Greenlight (and then, THE WORLD) we have commissioned an awesome new trailer for Long Live The Queen:



(If you can't see that because of blogfeed, link to the trailer here)


The campaign has passed 11,000 yes votes and is still going, slow but steady, so all hope is not lost! We also got a bit of coverage on Rock Paper Shotgun, even if they did (hopefully accidentally!) end up somewhat referencing a hentai game in the title... Don't look it up, spare your innocent eyes!

Our Darker Purpose

(almost wrote that as 'our darker purple') Did I mention I'm a sucker for dark graphics?

Teslagrad

I am a sucker for platformers with cool visual styles

i'd play it

beetlejuice

I am not really into Minecraft stuff, but this is pretty cool

puzzle quest... with poker?

Fly'n

Another interesting item spotted through someone's greenlight thread:



This isn't quite a complete game yet though, it's due out this fall. I think. But it looks adorable and the sort of thing I'm into.

Scheherazade is hard to spell!

Here's an interesting project from the makers of Academagia:



(Click through to see video properly)

And like Academagia or Long Live The Queen, it looks like there are a lot of skills and you'll be able to make use of them to shape the way your character handles her adventures. I don't know yet if it will be as VICIOUS as LLTQ though :)

The main game's webpage is here. It's not done yet.

Project can also be found on Greenlight... as, for that matter, can several other games, such as Science Girls and Date Warp. So if you want to see this sort of thing on Steam, get in there. Otherwise, stay tuned for more info when this title is complete.

Underrail

Check out this indie RPG project!

I haven't had time to play the demo yet, but from the video it looks like... ah, heck, why waste my time summing up when I can just cut and paste?

Summary

Underrail is an old school turn-based isometric indie role playing game that focuses on exploration and combat. It's inspired by western RPG classics such as Fallout, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights and System Shock 2.


Story

The game is set in a distant future, when the life on the Earth’s surface has long since been made impossible and the remnants of humanity now dwell in the Underrail, a vast system of metro station-states that, it seems, are the last bastions of a fading race.

The player takes control of one of the denizens of such a station-state whose life is about to become all that much more interesting and dangerous, as our protagonist is caught amidst the conflicting factions of the Underrail as they secretly but violently struggle for the Humanity’s last gem of hope.


Features

Great character customization possibilities through stats, skills, feats, items and more that allows for many different play-styles

Tactical turn based combat that utilizes weapons, energy shields, grenades, psi abilities and more

Vast underground world to explore: city states, abandoned building complexes, natural caverns, secret areas and more

Elaborate item crafting system

cinewhatic?

And then on the other side, you have (old) games like this thing which clearly had A plot... but what on earth was it?



(Apparently there's a wiki and it makes sense to somebody but...)

Remember Me

No, not the dating sim. This:



I have really confused mixed reactions to this. I often hear people complaining about games turning too much into movies. This is the first time I've noticed seeing a game *really* advertised as if it were a movie... and looking at that, I think I'm going to be disappointed that it isn't one.

Because whatever it is, I can't actually play it... I'm shit at big fancy 3d consoles. So any curiosity I have about the plot will never be answered.

Maybe they'll make an anime of it! (Yeah right.)

(Also unsurprisingly youtube commenters continue to be subhuman trolls and at least one is commenting that they don't want to play any game where they have to play as a female because that's gay.)

Dungeon Dashers

multiplayer / multicharacter RPG in development

Middens

I know nothing about this except that I saw an image from it on deviantart and then went and looked at the trailer video and went "wait what did I just see??"



So.. yeah. Surreal adventure/RPG, I guess?

Solomon Dark

more wizard-blasting-monster action, hopefully without the vague hints of girl-hating that made me uneasy about magicka?



I think it's for phones though and therefore not something I'll ever get to play, but the effects are cute at least. :)
