The new Steam Personal Calendar is actually pretty good, there's a few gems in here I've not seen before

The new Steam Calendar feature, but I've added in some stupid, fake titles - Including "Lads On Tour 2: The Boys Go To Prison" and "Assassin's Creed Big Shop". They're mostly unfunny.

The game is so good! I want a world where the KOTC-alike is as popular as the Roguelike. There are so many cool things to do with this (multiplayer, synchronous, asymmetric, social) kind of game architecture.

Not sure how I missed this. It's such a compliment that Greg thought King of the Castle was worth analysing with his class! I hope they found some good stuff in with the bad. This has prompted @spartridge.bsky.social and I to have a long chat about what we might've done differently (there's a lot).

Occlude is a Solitaire puzzle game that plays a lot like the card game. Each puzzle has hidden rules, and if you figure them out, you get access to more lore. We figured all the rules out for the demo puzzles, and had a lot of fun with it! store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...

Tried the Occlude demo in #steamnextfest Pretty cool! For now it is essentially a solitaire with hidden mechanics. In order to "win" the level you need to satisfy the four hidden requirements. For now I won the first level. The game is cool. Decyphering the hidden rules can tire the brain a bit.
