Games on Steam: A Game of Deceit
Games on Steam is a weekly installment that tackles this popular platform’s latest and greatest Indie games. Today, we will tidy up our ol' clocktower, uncover the secrets of the universe, and learn how to properly cheat in cards.
Space Beast Terror Fright
Sometimes, you just want to kill of terrifying beasts to prevent alien infestation. This is where S.B.T.F., an arcade FPS, comes in to satisfy your needs. As a Marine, you are trapped on a claustrophobic ship with a hostile entity. Armed with a tracker and a bunch of weapons, your goal is to … well, survive. Levels are procedurally generated, so you never know what's around the corner, which adds to the suspense. AAA devs take notice, S.B.T.F. is what a chaotic arcade shooter based on Aliens should look like.
The Last Clockwinder
For this week's VR section, we have a puzzle adventure based on automation. Set in a clocktower, your job is to create increasingly sophisticated contraptions, that will loop every task. As you can also clone yourself, things will get complex quickly. Progression feels very natural and you can tell that the team put a lot of emphasis on the story as well. In short, this is an interesting gem that will surely appeal to the fans of the genre.
And now, for my version of the Moonlight Sonata Steam
Card Shark
Card Shark is an imaginative leap into 18th-century France. Your goal is to infiltrate the creme de la creme of French society by mastering card deception. This is all but easy, as fellow gamblers are not exactly fans of cheating. The gameplay mechanic is very interesting, and you'll learn a bunch of cool techniques like marking cards, doing false shuffles, and more. Card Shark also sets up a great atmosphere, thanks to the strong visual style and beautiful orchestral music. It also has an intriguing storyline, so there's no good reason why you shouldn't give it a try.

Corpse Factory
Next, we have a creepy visual novel from River Crow Studio. Corpse Factory is set in Tokio, where a bizarre website has popped up. On it, you can request death of somebody you know. While it was initially ignored, people began paying attention when bodies started to appear. Corpse Factory sets itself apart with a tight storyline, strong visual identity, and overall great production. The game deals heavily with mental health issues, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea. However, if you are looking for a haunting story with multiple endings that will leave its mark, this is it.
Endlanders: First Encounter
Lastly, we have a surprisingly solid prologue from Eteros Studios. Endlanders creatively mixes ARPG and card game mechanics, and a result is a hectic and addictive gameplay. And to top it off, we have beautiful pixel art and dark atmosphere. The game follows 2 characters (Cosmos and Quls) with distinct combat styles and diverging storylines. So far, Endlanders shows much potential, and I am interested to see how it will develop.
