A beautiful looking new puzzle-platforming adventure, Moss: The Forgotten Relic is arriving in July and now it is Steam Deck Verified. There's a demo available so you can try it out right now.

What exactly is it? Moss: The Forgotten Relic is an emotional and atmospheric adventure set in the pages of a living storybook shaped by ancient magic and forgotten dangers. This brings together the VR games Moss and Moss: Book II in a singular package without the need of VR (so anyone can play it). The Forgotten Relic covers the full journey of Quill, a young mouse who is thrust into a perilous journey to save her world from arcane forces.

Really recommend these ones in VR, charming games that feel like handling a living toy in a fantasy world. With this conversion to flat screens, I guess they are trying to show more people what the fuss is about (and get more income in the process, now that VR sales hasn't pulled off as expected).
