This is out. Normally Steam sends an email when a game in my wishlist gets released but it didn't this time, for some reasons.



First person lovey dovey adventure game that screws with perception Manifold Gaden style, starring Bryce Dallas Howard and published by Annapurna.

The Future of Artifact
Artifact, the Dota 2 card game, shipped in November of 2018. Despite good initial sales, our player count fell off pretty dramatically. This warranted a shift from the service/update development model we'd planned to a full reevaluation of the game's mechanics and economy.

It's now been about a year and a half since the current Artifact team began work on a reboot in earnest. While we're reasonably satisfied we accomplished most of our game-side goals, we haven't managed to get the active player numbers to a level that justifies further development at this time. As such, we've made the tough decision to stop development on the Artifact 2.0 Beta.

However, we recognize that both versions of Artifact still have players and still have value to the community. For this reason, we're opening both games up to make them available for free to everyone. Final releases of both Artifact Classic and Artifact 2.0 Beta (renamed Artifact Foundry) are now available. Technically Artifact Foundry remains an unfinished product, but most of what's missing is polish and art - the core gameplay is all there. While both games will remain playable, we don’t plan to ship any further gameplay updates.

Here's an overview of our final changes to Artifact Classic:
  • The game is free for everyone to play.
  • All players get every card for free. You will no longer be able to buy card packs.
  • Paid players' existing cards have been converted into special Collector's Edition versions, which will remain marketable. Marketplace integration has been removed from the game.
  • Paid event tickets have been removed.
  • Customers who paid for the game will still earn packs of Collector's Edition cards for playing; players who got the game for free will not.
The final release of Artifact Foundry looks like this:
  • The game is free for everyone to play.
  • Players gain access to cards by playing the game. All cards are earned this way; no cards or packs will be for sale and Artifact Foundry cards are not marketable.
  • All final card art that was in the pipeline is now in the game.
(In short, when we say "free", we really mean "free.")

For a detailed explanation of how Artifact Foundry differs from the Artifact Classic, see this page.

We're grateful to all Artifact players, and particularly to those who were able to help us tune and refine what would become Artifact Foundry. The team feels this is the approach that best serves the community. We're proud of the work we've done on both games and excited about delivering them to a much larger audience of gamers.

To install and play now, head over to the store page.

Thanks,
The Artifact Team

I remembered that I wanted to shill a second half the demos I've played.

This is pretty much Dark Messiah, but no stealth and magic. However, melee combat and archery are actually better. Feels more like a tech demo though. Still available and the demo doesn't require Steam after downloading.



This is another game with a creative combat system, but reminds me of Devil Daggers. I thought it's the same developer at first.



A puzzle game by solving which you can create melodies. There are different ways to solve so different melodies. I think it's quite competent although I was skeptical at first.



This may look like another roguelike, but it's actually a diabloid. Gameplay felt good, but as with any other game in this genre it will be held by build and loot varieties. Judging by the reviews there are some problems with that.



This one has an interesting crafting system. Basically you have a map you can "explore" and unlock new potions by using different tools while cooking. I spent some time in this.

Glad to see more games being made that combine porn with other substantial gameplay. If enough of these are made, maybe someday an indie will break new ground with one that doesn't center on bestiality.

The Bioshock collection is a lot of moneys off. Is it worth to get it at this price? I played the first game very briefly when it came out but I can't remember much.

I'm not reallly bothered about the fact that the System Shocks are better. Just wondering if the Bioshocks are worth playing on their own.
