A first-person psychological horror walking sim from Serafini Productions, the fourth BrokenLore entry and a prequel to UNFOLLOW, following Anne through surreal, symbolic memories of bullying and a fraught mother-daughter relationship — Very Positive across 156 reviews for its atmosphere and story, with real complaints about unclear direction, a rushed ending, and technical rough edges.
6 / 10
An incremental swarm defense that undersells its own looks Bugs. Billions of Bugs. is a tower defense from Recoil Mojo, published by Mojo Games, released 10 September 2026 for NZ$4
6 / 10
A chaotic co-op break-in sim about raiding a suburban house as a tiny gnome, built by a solo developer from a months-long, hugely popular free demo into a full launch that sold over 500,000 copies in three weeks, even as reviewers describe the finished game as thinner than the demo that sold it.
6 / 10
A cozy outdoor-store and campsite management sim with a genuinely addictive early loop, undercut in its current Early Access state by real performance drops at scale, inconsistent bugs, and thin controller and accessibility support.
6 / 10
An adult-oriented, Vampire Survivors-style bullet-heaven roguelite about rescuing and nurturing flower-themed girls in a miniature otaku-cabinet world, whose reviewers consistently describe the core survivors combat as average at best and the real draw as its generous, AI-illustrated animated intimate scenes.

Read review of Can Your Otaku Cabinet Grow a Beautiful Girl?
Card Corner is a desktop-companion idle poker game from Conradical Games, built to sit in the corner of your screen while you work, and its Mostly Positive sample praises a genuinely deep Balatro-influenced deck system, while repeatedly and specifically flagging a stalled post-launch patch cadence the developer's own announcement history appears to confirm.
6 / 10
A card-creation simulator that lets you build your own roster of characters, complete with families, rivalries, pets and elemental tournament battles, drawing praise from a tiny early audience for its worldbuilding depth while one detailed reviewer argues the actual battle system doesn't yet live up to everything else surrounding it.
6 / 10
A chaotic, first-person casino management sim for solo or up to four-player co-op, praised as an unusually good-value grab for its dollar price despite thin content, jankiness, and a cooperative title that many found worked better solo.
6 / 10
A genuinely charming, beginner-friendly reskin of standard chess starring adorable animated cats, widely praised for teaching newcomers the game and for shipping complete without microtransactions at launch, undercut by a structurally broken online mode with no time controls that lets opponents stall indefinitely in losing positions, inconsistent AI difficulty, a thin ten-mission campaign, and a cluttered, mobile-game-styled interface.
6 / 10
A cat's-eye adventure across a nostalgic Japanese summer island from developer LuminousNote, Positive across 16 English reviews for a surprising turn from cozy cat-and-girl fanservice into a genuinely dark mystery, with a widely repeated complaint about a rough, obstructive camera.
6 / 10
An Eleventh Consecutive Launch Without a Single Review Cedric's Quest — The Waning Ward released on Steam on 29 July 2026 and currently has zero Steam user reviews, extending a
6 / 10
A moody, RPG Maker-style psychological horror RPG about a man, a chainsaw and a city that stops being safe — with striking presentation and a real-time-interrupt combat twist, undercut by roughly an hour of Episode 1 content, scattered balance and a store page that's still openly asking players for feedback on "the demo."
6 / 10
Channel 64 is a $1.99 debut solo horror game about digitizing found-footage VHS tapes, and its Mostly Positive review sample praises the tense, tape-driven atmosphere and the genuine promise it shows for a first project while repeatedly flagging underused mechanics, an ending that still reads as abrupt after two developer rewrites, and a bug that can freeze the game outright.
6 / 10
A cheap, cozy cheese-themed Tetris clone that reviewers consistently call relaxing and addictive in short bursts, though its own fans mostly describe it as exactly what it looks like rather than anything more ambitious.
6 / 10
A cozy idle fishing desktop companion from Maru Studio starring a small fishing crocodile, Positive across a small English review sample for its relaxing background presence and cute art, with fair, specific complaints about artificially slow catch rates and progress resets between maps.
6 / 10
A One-Person Melvor Idle, Built in the Open Cindervale Idle is a solo-developed fantasy skilling idler, and it wears that comparison openly rather than dodging it — one returning r
6 / 10
Luminous's sequel to the beloved circle-based RTS launched thinner than fans expected, but a genuinely useful unit editor and months of post-launch content updates have turned early disappointment into cautious approval.
6 / 10
A steampunk run-and-gun metroidvania from Realmsoft built around extensive weapon-modding, Very Positive across a large English review sample for its art, music, and distinctive gun-customization concept, with fair, widely repeated complaints about a directionless open-world midgame and a specific, unresolved game-breaking healing bug.
6 / 10
A brief, deliberately absurd first-person coconut-throwing arcade game with a functional wave-survival loop, held back by thin content and a review pool too small to call it a hit yet.
6 / 10
A Tiny, Free Café Sim With No Reviews to Its Name Yet Coffee Craze is a free-to-play, first-person café management sim in which you serve coffee and pastries to a steady stream of
6 / 10
Collector's Cove sends you sailing between floating islands to farm, fish, and hunt down rare "Fabled" variants of everything you collect, and its large all-language review sample loves the first biome before repeatedly describing the same loop wearing thin, cryptic unlock conditions, and a queasy camera.
6 / 10
A dark-fantasy hex-tactics roguelite with genuinely deep, widely praised strategic mechanics, undercut by frequent, specifically reported crashes, a broken or exploitable enemy AI, and a thin tutorial that leaves several reviewers guessing at core systems.
6 / 10
A Kingdom Rendered in Text and Console Characters Console Kingdom commits hard to a single visual conceit: everything in its kingdom-management sim — the throne room, the petitione
6 / 10
Coraroc is a $4.99 back-to-basics retro platformer about rescuing kidnapped friends from the invading Pacicaps, and this review's unanimous Positive sample (17 of 17 reviews) praises tight, punishing platforming and an exceptional soundtrack repeatedly compared to Super Mario Bros. and Celeste, with the game's demanding difficulty being its main double-edged trait.
