Honourable mentions:
1) Dragos loved Claire Obscure, but Adam hasn't played it and it used AI (boooo)
2) We had a great time playing Contact Protocol and Trans Theft Auto at AdventureX, and really recommend both
3) Oscar the Incredible Flying Ostrich is fab and we hope it comes to steam soon!

One of those games that stays with you in the best of ways. Tonally one of the most carefully balanced games I've ever played. Amazing work.

Behind the Hydra's Eyes is an unabashedly political narrative game with themes of climate (in)justice, guilt/apathy, and culpability.
You'll play as a middle-manager overseeing a renewables project, and have to unravel layers of corporate speak to grapple with what your actions actually mean.

To wrap it all up-Oscar, the incredible flying Ostrich by @thomashunt.bsky.social and Renato Baroni. Stunning decorations aside, Oscar himself moves and feels incredible while you're holding the controller, leading to his many stunts feeling very satisfying. Hilariously written, one to look out for
