Selfloss
Selfloss is a story-driven adventure game about a kind old man, set in a fantasy world based on ancient Russian and Icelandic myths. Use the light of your staff to defeat mythical creatures and help those in need. Perform a ceremony called “Selfloss” to heal your own wounded soul.
The old man hears the cry of an unknown animal and is eager to find it and help it. And thus your adventure begins…
-
The magical staff is central to the game’s mechanics and story.
-
Combat is strategic and dynamic. You control the character and his staff simultaneously and independently: the magic staff levitates around the protagonist, generating spells.
-
You can explore the world of Selfloss on foot or by boat, discovering Slavic and Icelandic myths along the way as you help others overcome their hardships and grief.
-
A unique sea-worshiping world with whale gods, resembling the landscapes of Iceland.
-
The art style was inspired by postimpressionism, and the colors of Selfloss were chosen with reference to color theories, particularly Simultaneous Contrast theory.

Lost in Blindness
I don’t see any reasons not to like this game.
– Real player with 8.0 hrs in game
I really enjoyed playing Lost in Blindness, this is a great game:
-
The concept is very original: you play as blind character and hence must use your ears instead of your eyes
-
Before playing I was a bit afraid the game would be too hard, but it turned out to be very accessible
-
No bug encountered during my full playthrough and the voice acting is surprisingly pretty good for an indie game
-
I played with earphones without any problem (I did not have a headset)
My final verdict: this is a hidden gem on steam, you should definitely give it a try.

Altruism
Altruism is a fun,short,zen adventure game by former Runescape/Jagex composer Adam Bond. The soundtrack is nice, and its overall atmosphere of selflessness makes it pleasant. Its simplicity makes it a nice relaxing break, and I think the asking price is worth it for a chill afternoon or two.

SJ-19 Learns To Love!
A very to-the-point Metroidvania.
SJ-19 Learns To Love! doesn’t play around with hidden rooms, power-ups drop directly from bosses and the map features clear cut landmarks.
You’ll know exactly where to return to once you’ve drained the water system for example.
You play as SJ-19, a droid fortunate enough to be selected from storage and immediately instructed to follow in a long line of killing machines. This plays nicely against the simple cute aesthetic presented by the game visuals, as bosses will ask you to reconsider fighting them, whilst the shops (which are characters) gleefully encourage you to get back to killing and pump up your Soul Power to increase your firepower. Every boss comes with an ability to be gained and a lesson to be learned (guess what the final one is?) as SJ-19 malfunctions and journeys through the recess of it’s…programming?
– Real player with 9.1 hrs in game
After trying two metroidvanias that turned out to be terrible (Frauki’s adventure and catmaze) I had low expectations for SJ-19. However, this turned out to be actually good. It’s got a good story, and good gameplay at the expense of content, graphics, and sound effects. The only downside is that the game is a bit overpriced and it has to be bought on sale.
