Hydra Slayer
The description of this game does not do it justice. Roguelike based on mathematical puzzles sounds like an arithmetic quiz program or someone packaging puzzles in a mediocre framework. One of the reviews even said it would be ok without the math. I envisioned puzzles where there was a correct solution every time.
This is first a roguelike (oldschool roguelike), and the ‘puzzles’ are, like a game play in awell designed roguelike, emergent - naturally arising from the procedurally generated world. There are often many good solutions to the puzzles, and the game play revolves around finding good enough solutions, and using your resources wisely.

Very cool, but very specific game. If you are a mathematician, programmer, roguelike fan or just a nerd, most likely, this game is for you. Otherwise… Anyway, if you’re not outright scared with the concept of killing ancient beasts with the power of math, you should give it a try.
You can start with the free version . Keep in mind, though, that free version lacks some recent and/or steam-specific features.

Really good adventure game about brazilian folklore, a theme not that much explored. The basic mechanics reminds me old Zelda titles! Exploring previous areas with new abilities and finding all feathers and others collectibles is fun! Recomended!

The Gorcs' Forge
A very cute and fun management game. At the beginning you can get stuck but once you learn the basics of the game it turns really fun. I also love the soundtrack and the story. Recommended!

I spent a while playing the game and I love the gameplay!
I know is still in Early Acess, but the mechanics are so fluid and functional. It’s a strategy game with a mix of casual management style. The Gorcs Forge needs a couple of improvements and bug fixes, but is doing fine for now.
It took me about an hour to finish the game and I have to say… More PLEASE!
I could play it for hours! =D

Ethos 2: Fall Of Empires
Carve Your Own Path
Ethos 2: Fall Of Empires is a Historical RPG where every single decision you make affects your journey. Abilities, upgrades, weapons, interactions, quests, the atmosphere, and much more, are all affected by the actions and moral decisions you make within the game.
Become a tyrant, a hero, a lone wolf, or many other archetypes, the choice is yours!
The Story
The game takes place in the year 1453. You play as Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Emperor of the Byzantine Empire. Your once great city of Constantinople has fallen into the hands of the Ottomans and your goal is to take it back.
You can do this by gathering troops/equipment/allies from leaders of other nearby nations in Egypt, the Balkans, The Middle East, and more! OR you can also choose to overthrow the leaders of other nations, and take their nations by force!
You may also attempt to take back Constantinople by making yourself an extremely powerful one-man-army, and attempt to take the city by yourself whenever you are ready. This can be through many means such as assassination of Mehmed the Conqueror, or by facing the entire Ottoman army by yourself.
Style
The game is very non-linear. Meaning that you can technically attempt to finish the final quest very early on in the game. Its an open-world game that doesn’t place a limit on exploration.
Consequences
Want to murder a main character that you need to complete a quest? Go for it. But expect there to be consequences. Want to become a pacifist and try to not harm anyone ever? Go for it. But expect there to be consequences.
Why This Game Is Being Made
As a massive RPG-fan, I was very tired of many AAA games giving you the illusion of ‘your decisions matter’. Because at the end of the day, choices in many AAA games pretty much only affected how much of a discount you could get at a merchants shop, or how some NPC’s react to you when you walk by.
I really want choices to matter in games. And that’s why this game is being made.
Saying that, this is a passion project for myself, and no one should expect this to be a AAA title. But hopefully it could be a really fun indie game that people can replay and have fun with :)
Merchant’s Game
Merchant’s Game is a 2D pixelart open-ended game that you hire npc’s, negotiate prices, sell and buy items to pay your debt to the lanlord. Merchant’s Game is a single-player game that can be played by keyboard and mouse. In a fantasy world you open a shop in a busy gateway in the mittle of the Galaxy. However things are not good as before so you start from the day 1 and continue your journey until the payment day arrives. No need to be worried if you’ve already done that. So keep your shop open. Forever.

Pedro’s Adventures in Spanish [Learn Spanish]
Very simple, suitable for learning Spanish in a fun way; the graphics are in 2D but detailed enough so that you can see the details well.
The game has a plot that you have to follow, you play the young Pedro, the story starts with a beautiful princess who is kidnapped, but who took her? and where did it go?
You have to help Pedro to get to the Castle to find the princess and bring her back home.
There is no translation, but only the Spanish language, there is a tutorial that helps you at the beginning, it is quite easy to understand because we can associate the words with the objects we see or the actions we have to perform.

Hola soy Pedro.
I started this game knowing not a single word of Spanish but after persisting I was gradually able to work out a lot of the key words. You can just click around and try and do the puzzles without trying to figure out what people are telling you but I soon got stuck with this approach. Spending a bit of time in the world you will find obvious clues that people tell you. Sometimes they just outright tell you what to do which you can miss if you are not carefully listening. Music in the game is really relaxing and reminds me of Activate Jetpack cross with a JRPG.

Diggles: The Myth of Fenris
Very surprised Diggles/Wiggles has appeared on Steam, but VERY happy it did!
This is an unique game; nothing really compares to it then (20 years ago), and since then no game has been published (to my knowledge) that comes even close to it. So i almost immediatly bought it (again).
Didnt play Wiggles for years as the original sadly wasnt compatible with ‘newer’ Windows-version. (Could play the official Demo a bit longer though.)
Although graphics is a bit outdated and gameplay is quite slow, the game concept is so good, it was and still is the best game i ever played.

WTF!?! Who’s feet do I have to kiss for finally bringing this game to Steam!! If you ever played and enjoyed, Oxygen not Included, and the new early access game, Hammerington, then you will like this game as well. I even purchased those aforementioned games in the hopes to fill the hole this game left in me decades ago. While a bit dated on graphics (released in 2002), the game still has its same charm and is still very playable. By the end of the game, your dwarves will be riding around on hover boards, and brandishing light sabers. How can you go wrong with that? Thank you

Malum
Malum is a gem among the likes of Pacify or Devour, where you complete objectives and narrowly avoid the demons and monsters chasing you.
Your objective, place relics found about the map in the summoning circle to complete the ritual. The location of each relic and summoning circle is procedurally generated, and to determine the type of ritual to complete, you’ll need your torch to find otherworldly runes emblazoned on the walls that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Three runes can be cross-referenced in a Phasmo-esque journal, but be quick, the demon doesn’t wait for you to leisurely thumb through pages of arcane text.

Fun game! I love that each level has a unique feel and slightly different gameplay. Fun co-op game to play with friends and challenging game to solo. The dev is very active and is still adding content!
The Hospital level, in my opinion, is the most challenging. It is the largest level and the main demon can teleport you around the map. This map is best played in groups, although I know people who enjoy the challenge of trying to solo it. It is absolutely possible to hide/escape from anything that can kill you, even if she teleports to you. There is a cooldown before she chases you, so that gives you time to escape, if you are smart about it.

Ghostist
I think I’ve racked up enough hours to give this a real review now.
Ghostist; is a pretty casual, but definitely charming; 2d ghost hunting game.
You play alone as you work to identify ghosts across different job sites.
And, as you complete jobs & earn money; you can buy extra items to assist in your investigations.
There’s a good variety in ghosts, & jobsites. And, investigations usually don’t take too long to complete.
So, it’s definitely a game I like to jump into for some quick, play sessions.

Thanks for so many hours between guessing and goosebumps.
A game for in between, but unfortunately the in between often gets longer than expected… :-D
It is nice to experience how the game and it’s content are growing! Maybe there will be a mobile version for more “in between” on the road?
