Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?
Screenshot from Tenebris Somnia showing a creepy guy with head candles bathed in shadowScreenshot from Hymm to the Eyeless God, showing a party based RPG with a top down view of a path through some woods, and it appears as if one of the insect like player characters is casting a spell.Screenshot from Mandrake showing an isometric view of the interior of a building, a character called Nessa's portrait is on the left side and says "Thanks for coming to Pevenny with me Morgan. I'd have hated doing that alone."Screenshot from Hark The Ghoul, there's a gaslight street lamp in a dark alleyway, on a crate sits a big wheel of cheese, underneath the lamp is a small rat like guy who might be cheesed to meet us.

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help. with that said, onwards!
an edited version of the box art for the old computer game Hacker II: The Doomsday Papers. the title now says "Spacetwinks Rec Thread. The Steam Summer Sale 2026 edition". my fursona, a pink kangaroo in goth style clothes, is on the old computer monitor saying "hey man what's up".

at the bottom left on a blue sticker, it says: "Get this, the original boxart here is for a game called Hacker II and the original Hacker game was shipped with literally zero information on how to play, to make it more 'authentic' or w/e. Fucking buck wild, right?"

the activision logo of the time has been replaced by the word 'Kangaroo'.
