Hey all. Always enjoyed reading everyone’s suggestions on more unknown games available during big steam sales.
I’ll start off with one that I have been a fan of for a long time: Death Road to Canada
This game is like a zombie action Oregon Trail like game, where you manage supplies and fight through hordes of zombies on your way to the safe haven of Canada. Only US$3.74 right now and well worth it imo!
I’m not sure if some of these are going on sale, but:
Desert Child–Racing game with a cool art style and awesome soundtrack, but tbh I don’t think it’s worth the price unless it’s on sale. Not because it’s bad, but it’s REALLY short. ~8 hours for $12. IMO that’s kinda steep so I recommend waiting for a price drop.
Seasons After Fall–Puzzle-solving sidescrolling platformer with a GORGEOUS art style, adorable animal characters, and sweet story.
Wytchwood–Topdown crafting/exploration game with cool art style and music. Storyline-wise, I’ve heard it called a little predictable, but I was engaged and didn’t see where the plot was going, so take that for what it’s worth. It’s a cool game either way. And this one is actually on sale atm, so definitely check it out!
Fair warning though, while these are available on Steam, I have only played Desert Child and Seasons After Fall on the PS. So I don’t know how fun they are on a Deck/PC. Seasons After Fall should be fine, as it’s a sidescroller, but Desert Child might be harder to handle, I dunno.
Edit: if you like puzzle games/room escape games definitely check out The Room series as well
