Seeing Stars is the new DLC for A Little To The Left

A Little to the Left [PC] Seeing Stars DLC Trailer Watch on YouTube Rachel (RPS in peace) really enjoyed this cosy tidying game, and now there's more to come soon!

After Love EP is a shoegazey journey set in Jakarta

Afterlove EP - Official Demo Trailer Watch on YouTube

A heartfelt, music-tinged non-violent game set in modern day Jakarta. Here's a demo.

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure looks mind-bending in a nice way

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure - Trailer | Nintendo Direct 2024 Watch on YouTube

The high concept to this puzzle game makes my head hurt a little, but it's immediately soothed by the very large squirrels in the background.

Battle Vision Network is the PvP follow-up to Grindstone

BATTLE VISION NETWORK - Reveal Trailer Watch on YouTube I can only imagine that Katharine (RPS in peace) is both overjoyed and utterly horrified at what this means for her free time.

Building Relationships takes a pun and runs with it

Building Relationships Prototype Trailer (old) Watch on YouTube

As a lover of taking a pun and running with it until the wheels fall off, I fully support this. Here's a demo.

Cairn is a survival climber

Cairn Reveal Trailer Watch on YouTube Looks like a more intense Jusant, which I'm well up for!

Cozy Grove Camp Spirit has some lovely bears in it

Lovely, lovely, lovely bears.

Fear the Spotlight is a Blumhouse teen horror

Fear The Spotlight [Switch/PS4/PS5/XOne/XSX/PC] Reveal Trailer Watch on YouTube All my opinions on Blumhouse come from Red Letter Media, so I won't comment.

Hello Again is the 'world's cosiest time-loop'

Hello Again — Pre-Alpha Placeholder Trailer Watch on YouTube

It does look cosy, although surely they can squeeze in a little existential dread, as a treat.

Karma: The Dark World is a dystopian sci-fi journey

Karma: The Dark World - Official Down the Rabbit Hole Trailer Watch on YouTube

Psychological horror set in 1984 East Germany. A grab-bag of dys-tropia, but looks interesting nonetheless.

Koira is about protecting a puppy

I mean, you're not going to not help the dog, are you?

Petal Runner is about being a Tamagotchi courier

Petal Runner [PC] Reveal Watch on YouTube Lovely GBA-style visuals in this one.

Phoenix Springs – New Trailer 2023 Watch on YouTube

A neo-noir adventure game with some seriously arresting visuals.

Psychroma is a striking cyberpunk hell

Gorgeous and grimy in equal measure. Here's a demo.

Screenbound is so clever it makes my face hurt

Screenbound - New '5D' Platformer Developer Overview Watch on YouTube

Very much a case of a picture (or a picture-within-a-picture) being worth a thousand words here.

Simpler Times is a meditative chill explorer

Simpler Times - Official Winter Teaser - Wholesome Snack 2023 Watch on YouTube

The most wholesome game that ever wholesomed? You can decide yourself with this demo.

Tides of Tomorrow has a lot of water in it

Tom the Postgirl is a surreal mystery

UFO 50 Official Announcement Trailer Watch on YouTube

Six years! The above trailer is from six years ago! Six years all leading up to this September! Six years!

While Waiting is a game about waiting

While Waiting | Gameplay Reveal Trailer Watch on YouTube No need to wait to check it out though. There's a demo here.

Zoochosis has sullied giraffes for the remainder of eternity

Zoochosis - Exclusive Gameplay Teaser Trailer Watch on YouTube

Even worse, that pizza crust is far too thick.

I don’t like to pick favourites... so I won’t! It’s called integrity. Maybe you should try it sometime, Johnny Favourite Game. Johnny Always-Picks-A-Favourite-Game. Anyway, you lot aren’t bound to the same rigorous standards, so let me know in the comments. What’s your favourite(s) from the list? I promise I won’t email all the other devs and tell them you hate them. We're not done with June's frankly preposterous onslaught of games just yet, so make sure to check out our Summer Game Fest 2024 and Wishlisted Next Fest zones! I'm calling them 'zones' now, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The flurry of summer games events are now underway! Hit up our Summer Game Fest 2024 hub and our Day Of The Devs roundup for all the news worth caring about from the shows so far.
