Honestly, I don’t know what Atheism – Rifson’s Wrath It was when I received an email from Steam this week that the game was obviously on the wishlist that the game was now available at some point. But hey, this name is definitely a winner.
I thank the Pixel Art Appearance of this round RPG from the Ceremony Studio and publisher Playdipious Originals. According to the Steam page, you will play “As Rob, he’s a friendly musician trying to restore harmony in an unwelcome world, where those weird villains are corrupting the music.” In fact, it sounds adorable.

Riddlebit Software’s Platformer-Shooter Hybrid (released by Curveball Games) will be available on September 4. It might look like this is fun! If the announcer’s voice in the trailer sounds familiar, it’s because Matthew Mercer plays the role.
I missed this last week, but I just want to mention it soon Ghosts haunt. In the veins of these classic Lucasal games, the world needs a more interesting click adventure. The three leaders Monkey Studio and publisher Daedalic Entertainment made a positive first impression, suggesting they were ready for the consummate bar. There are no release dates or windows yet, but this is an instant addition to my wishlist on Steam (we hope I don’t forget this, right?)
I would love to play a tour manager simulator game at some point, getting into the effort to ensure the show and everything else in the band’s life. Rockbeasts are not quite That, but it still seems like a good time.
This is a “Grungy” narratively driven rock band management game from Lichthund and Team17. The trailer is fun, and here are some interesting talents. Rockbeasts is written by writer Jakub Szamałek, who is Wizard 3 and major writers Cyberpunk 2077. Even cooler is the character’s Iggy pop voice, their name is Iggy Pup. Love it.
Rock It will arrive on PC and gaming consoles next year.
