The Salesman
A short, sharply written psychological horror game about losing your job and selling off your life to a door-to-door demon — brilliant in concept and writing, but so thin on actual gameplay that it barely clears the one-hour mark.
4.4 / 10
The Séance of Blake Manor Review: A Gorgeous, Gentle Mystery That Rarely Makes You Think
Spooky Doorway's supernatural detective adventure wraps a huge, folklore-steeped cast and a stylish, comic-book take on 1897 Ireland around a mystery structure that reviewers overwhelmingly love for its writing and atmosphere, but repeatedly criticise for doing almost all the actual deducing for you.
7.5 / 10
The Spirit Weaver
A tarot-themed visual novel about guiding grieving spirits toward healing, wrapped in gorgeous hand-drawn art and a genuinely fresh central hook, let down by an engine that won't let you save before a choice.
6.6 / 10
The Supper: New Blood
A gruesome, funny point-and-click about a motel owner who cooks his guests, hurt by a demo that promised a deeper, more consequential game than the repetitive full release delivers.

The Wraith Train: Illusory Domain Review
A Journalist, a Night Train, and a Realm Built From the Dead's Regrets The Wraith Train: Illusory Domain casts the player as journalist Li Yuanzhe, who boards the overnight exp

This Is No Cave Review: A Tiny, Terrifying Speedrun Platformer Worth Chasing
A mouse-controlled grapple-and-thrust platformer that sends players fleeing giant subterranean worms across 30 tightly built levels, earning strong praise for its feel and leaderboard hook, with reviewers split mainly on whether 30 levels is enough.

Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor
Dovetail Games finally builds an official, fully explorable Island of Sodor on the Train Sim World engine, delivering real nostalgia and a lovingly recreated map undercut by punishing signal rules, day-one DLC, and a rough technical launch.

Tidy Up History Review
Inheriting a Museum Nobody Wanted Tidy Up History drops you into a premise that's become its own small genre on Steam over the past couple of years: you've inherited a once

Timber Fever Review
A demonically-contracted beaver gnaws an infinitely tall tree in this scrappy arcade roguelite, mixing genuinely funny weapon variety with a progression curve that overstays its welcome at higher difficulties.
7.1 / 10
Tingus Goose
A gleefully unhinged idle game about planting seeds in strangers and bouncing baby geese for profit — the strangest thing to hit the incremental genre in years, and one of the more oddly addictive ones too.
6.5 / 10
Tinker Shot Review
Slay the Spire Meets Angry Birds, More or Less Tinker Shot's own elevator pitch, "a turn-based skill-crafting roguelike where every fight becomes a little experiment in ch

Tiny Aquarium: Social Fishkeeping Review: A Desktop Pet Done Right
A relaxing idle aquarium sim that lives in the corner of your screen, praised for its breeding, fishing and social systems, with a shaky launch-era social loop now largely patched and a couple of specific gripes still worth knowing about.

Tiny Bookshop Review: The Real-Books Mechanic Makes This Sim Special
A cozy bookshop management sim built around a genuine, meticulously researched library of real books, adored for how deeply it rewards actual literary knowledge but held back by an inconsistent recommendation system and a repetitive back half.

Tiny Garden
A Polly Pocket-flavoured puzzle gardening sim with real hidden depth in its terrain-chaining mechanic, undercut by grindy late-game crop chains and a rough launch week.
6.8 / 10
Tombwater
A 2D soulslike that fuses Bloodborne's cosmic horror with A Link to the Past's top-down exploration, set in a cursed Old West town full of Eldritch nightmares — genuinely special when it clicks, and only lightly hampered by a vague map and a few rough edges.

Too Many Toys! Review
A Toy Shop, a Colossal Mess, and 5,517 Things to Put Away Too Many Toys! drops the player into a first-person toy shop that has, for reasons the game never bothers explaining, been
7.5 / 10
To Pixelia
A pixel-art life sim that reviewers describe as The Sims crossed with GTA, offering an unusually broad mix of jobs, crime, romance, and farming — held back at launch by a wave of bugs, slow-grinding progression, and a widely repeated complaint that it should have released in Early Access.
5.4 / 10
Trailer Park Tycoon: Raccoon Ranch Review: A Charmingly Grubby Shop Sim With Sticky Customer AI
A darkly funny farm-and-shop sim starring a deadpan raccoon selling booze and tobacco to trailer park neighbors, praised for its writing and crafting loop but held back by persistent customer pathfinding bugs and a curve that flattens fast.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Review

Train Valley Origins Review: A Cute, Simplified Step Back From the Series Peak
Flazm's newest Train Valley entry is a relaxing, good-looking train-routing puzzler, but reviewers who came from Train Valley 2 describe a stripped-down sequel undercut by real bugs and a punishing lack of mid-run saves.

Turtle Riders
A roguelike where players ride giant turtles into battle, switching between shooting hordes of enemies and gathering resources — a genuinely fresh hybrid undercut by fiddly hitboxes, heavy RNG, and thin meta-progression.
5.6 / 10
Twisted Tower
Thomas Brush's Atmos Games and publisher 3D Realms send players climbing a corrupted 1950s theme park armed with toy-themed guns in an openly Bioshock-inspired arena shooter, one whose striking atmosphere and creative weapon design are consistently undercut by shallow combat AI and a widely panned story.
6.1 / 10
Ultimate Sheep Raccoon
A bike-racing spin on the beloved course-building party formula of Ultimate Chicken Horse, undone at launch by floaty controls, an unbalanced power-up system, and a level-building loop that lost the delicate risk-and-reward balance of its predecessor.
