Contrary to the notion of a “mid‑summer dry spell,” this week is anything but barren. Steam Next Fest is back, delivering a curated burst of wishlist‑worthy demos and playtests that keep the platform buzzing.
Among the releases, a polished Square Enix RPG, an oddly charming robot bathing simulator, and a shooter that blends the absurdity of a U.S. presidency with the chaos of goblins are hitting shelves, offering a diverse lineup for players.
Meanwhile, the Treehouse crew is busy on their own creative quests: Mark is venturing into a sprawling sci‑fi cityscape, Julian is dissecting the mysteries of fungal cognition, James is opening yet another Pandora’s Box—hoping it won’t drain the budget—while Callum and Jeremy are planning blocky gardens and painterly adventures. I’m mulling over how the trillionaires will navigate the post‑human era, and you—what’s on your agenda? Any hidden gems I might have overlooked?
