Let's Build a Dungeon has you control a videogame studio and make the MMO it's developing. You've got to keep your players happy or they'll leave bad reviews and play something else. The game is launching into early access February 11, 2027. Wishlist it on Steam.
Night Plane
Night Plane is a horror game made specifically to scare me, because you also have to be a flight attendant, and I have a deathly fear of flying. Attend to passengers while kicking shape-shifting demons off the plane, and be ready to save some souls if you crash land. Download the Steam demo now and wishlist the game ahead of its October 26 release date.
We Were Here Tomorrow
We Were Here Tomorrow is the latest game in the We Were Here puzzle series, and this one comes with new abilities and upgrades. The only way to solve these problems is with a pal, so line one up before the October 20 launch date and wishlist it on Steam.

Ball x Pit: Risen Ballbylon
Remember that period of 2025 where Ball x Pit had your life in a vice-like grip? Get ready for it to happen again. It's getting a new expansion with 20 new ball evolutions, eight new hunters, four new biomes, 20 new buildings, 46 new passives, and at least one guy who I'm reasonably certain is called "Potager". Coming November 12, wishlist it on Steam.
Quarantine Zone: Miami Zero
Man a checkpoint, root out the secretly ill, and maybe even cure them as Quarantine Zone whisks you down to the sun-soaked beaches of Miami. "Experiment with drugs" exhorts its PCGS trailer, which I think is also what they put on the city welcome sign. The Miami Zero update is free and arriving October 15. Grab the full game on Steam.
Piroker
Piroker wonderfully blends the nautical world of pirates with the chaos of a poker game changed by the power of relics. Score higher than your opponents or walk the plank. Sign up for the playtest on Steam.
