From the team that made Judero, the handmade stop-motion digging adventure Mashina is set to arrive on July 31st.

I really love what they're doing with the art in their games, there's truly not many at all that will go to these lengths to make their games stand out in this way. Every single thing in the game is made out of various materials and animated using traditional stop-motion techniques. The gameplay looks just a weird and wacky as the art-style.

You play as Mashina, a friendly mining robot tasked with finding minerals to help mend, build and nurture her quirky robot community. The gameplay in Mashina is divided into two distinct sections; a deep, mysterious underground full of trinkets and minerals and a vibrant, fully explorable 3d overground.

Game Highlights:

Traditional Stop-Motion Animation: Everything in Mashina is handmade out of various materials and animated using traditional stop-motion techniques.

Digging / Mining: An entire under world to explore and dig around! Dig by hand, use your radar to find precious items and work your way up to a fully automated process with tools and inventions you find along the way!

Inventory Management: Digging up minerals, trinkets and treasures takes up a lot of space! Make sure you manage your inventory to maximize your time in the under world.

Secret Items and Unlockables: Excavate rare minerals, find items that help you unlock new inventions and friends that will join you and help you on your adventure!

Equipment Upgrades: Upgrade your digging and mining equipment to maximize your under world operation!

Exploration and Base Building: Take the items you find in the under world above ground! Friends around your island help you in all sorts of ways!

Their previous game Judero is Steam Deck Verified and Platinum on ProtonDB, no doubt this will work well too.
