Players will oversee the development of their community, pray to mysterious gods in exchange for magical incantations, and manage the morale of the populace by making sure they don’t starve or get ill.
Indie developer Acorn Bringer has revealed Of Love & Eternity, a haunting horror-adventure game that starts off with the unfortunate realization that you’ve died.
Starring a young girl named Yukumo who travels around the world in a tiny airship, the game begins when said airship breaks down, forcing our hero to set foot inside a mysterious town with all its inhabitants missing.
Originally a PlayStation 4 exclusive, the game stars a young woman by the name of Erica who, after experiencing some haunting nightmares about her father’s murder, sets out to untangle the mysteries of the so-called Delphi House.

The weather is getting chilly, the leaves are turning yellow, and the Steam Game Festival is back – and so are countless intriguing demos waiting for you to try them. Here are our personal picks:
In Vaporum: Lockdown you follow the adventures of Ellie Teller, a scientist just trying to make it out alive from a mechanical tower called Arx Vaporum where all hell seems to have broken loose, with robots, mutated roaches and steampunk zombies attacking everything in sight.
