Rain means an excuse to revisit the joyful hope of a sweaty handful of 2p coins on a sunny day at the seaside. The Raccoin demo perfectly balances high pressure hose dopamine hits with ‘just one coin could make all the difference’ optimism. You’ve got me @raccoingame.bsky.social Well played.

Seeing this every day from my cosy university room never got old.
If you thought Frankenstein's Tower in the Guillermo del Toro movie looked cool, check out the real-world inspiration behind it...

As a break from all of the horror, got to say that Powerwash Sim 2 in co-op was a sparkling joy from start to finish. A wonderful sequel that understands exactly what we love about the concept. Thanks @futurlab.co.uk 🖤

17. Fear The Spotlight

If you want a great indie horror game to play for Halloween this is a wonderfully spooky and surprisingly sweet gem with a focus on exploration and stealth, some great little puzzles, and two playable characters with their own back-to-back narratives. I'd highly recommend it!

If only I was still 13, when I had *endless time* to throw at the Tarzan Freeride demo that came with OPM.

Steam Next Fest has TWO Blumhouse Games titles to try. Crisol: Theater of Idols and SLEEP AWAKE. You can play both right now.
Blumhouse does games? Yes, we do.
Try them during #SteamNextFest.

🩸 Crisol: Theater of Idols - for fans of RE: Village, BioShock & Prey. On the cursed island of Tormentosa, your blood is your weapon. Headshots? will barely help.
