Games on Steam: No Way Out
Games on Steam is a weekly installment that tackles this popular platform’s latest and greatest Indie games. Today, we will learn how to survive on an old space station, escape from the haunted castle, and conquer Lovecraftian monsters.
Source of Madness
To start, we have a challenging action RPG. Source of Madness takes place in Loam Lands, a Lovecraftian world inhabited by nightmarish monsters. The land and beasts are both procedurally generated, as the game uses neural network AI to set up an atmosphere of dread and uncertainty about what's next. Visually, the game looks amazing, while the gameplay is challenging enough to keep you occupied for hours. All in all, Source of Madness is a unique take on the cosmic horror genre and employs cool tricks that many devs could learn from.
Citizen Sleeper
Citizen Sleeper is a cyberpunk RPG in which all of your choices matter. Here, you take the role of sleeper – a storage unit for human consciousness that escaped to a ruined space station to live with other outcasts. Unfortunately, you are owned by a corporation that'll do its best to get you back. To survive, you will need to build relationships by navigating through multiple factions and do a lot of shady work. Thanks to its unpredictable story and charming characters, Citizen Sleeper stands among the best dialogue-based Indies.
