The super relaxing building and crafting RPG 'Littlewood' now has a Monster card game

Any word on how much longer this is expected to stay in Early Access? The Steam page suggested the dev was originally planning two months, but that was back in June.

Hm, only thing that really interests me this time around is Sword of Ditto, so it's smarter to pass.

On second thought, I just tried it out and it runs INCREDIBLY slow over my connection. So that's a thing that won't be happening.

My laptop is pretty…pants


Even too "pants" (had to look up this one :) ) to act as a client for the streaming?
I tried it a couple times, didn't end well on the craptop. My phone is waaay more powerful heh, such is the way with tech.

Edit: I should have mentioned that sitting back with a phone/tablet, especially when ill, is far nicer than a laptop sat on your lap (IMO).
Really wish I knew more about this when I was laid up after surgery last year. I would have played SO much Stardew.

An update on the status of Linux support for the sci-fi RPG 'Encased' now it's in Early Access

Looks remarkably like the upcoming Wasteland 3 in a lot of ways, although it's pretty likely that wasn't on purpose. Although I expect they had a lot of the same inspirations, and similar systems (movement areas, map layouts, etc.) do lead to similar results.

Not getting a feel for what the game is about from this trailer, although it does seem worth keeping an eye on.

What's that? Another Steam Client Beta update? With a Linux platform filter? Yes it is

Just curious, if you have Steam Play enabled for all titles does the beta version of the library still count EVERY game in your library as SteamOS/Linux? I find that really annoying in the current release version.

Beautiful open-world action adventure Pine is releasing next month

Pretty disappointing about not being able to play a female or customizable protag, but the rest of it looks pretty sharp. Definitely one to keep an eye out for, maybe pick it up once the inevitable round of post-release patches come out.

Maybe this will result in me not having my Featured & Recommended section being 80% VNs when I've bought something like one in my entire life.

Slay the Spire's fourth character is available for Beta testing

By "already beaten it" you mean you have to defeat the corrupt heart? That sounds absolutely horrendous, I haven't even gotten close to beating it in the time I've played. I imagine a lot of people who have the game haven't either.

A Short Hike is a very sweet and serene experience

Quoting: NezchanI liked Pan-Pan, but there were some spots that weren't clear enough, both in terms of what you're supposed to do/where you're supposed to go, and how well you can see some stuff. But if you're prepared for that, it's a good game.
I feel intimidated now. According to howlongtobeat.com, it should take two, maximum three hours. I played one hour and solved half a puzzle and haven't got a clue about the others...
According to Steam it took me about 3 hours, but part of that was an inability to find the entrance to at least one area.
