On a very different dimension than Incision is the Wayward Strand. It’s a story-driven adventure game set in an aerial nursing home. Ever since I saw it at PAX Australia, I was thrilled once (opens in new tab) In 2019, based on the few hours I’ve played so far, the wait has been worth it. Her bookish teenage girlfriend is reluctant at first, but slowly the mystery unfolds and she is drawn into the various charms of the hospital’s inhabitants. This is definitely a game about its characters first and foremost: hearing the history and anecdotes of Airship’s cast is really engaging, thanks to the strong and often very funny writing, a gorgeous comic strip of her art Style also helps.

King of Retail has been in Early Access for quite some time, but it hit 1.0 last week. As the name suggests, it’s a tycoon game about running a retail store. First, decide what kind of store you want (tech store? sneaker store? convenience store?) and plan it out. after that Take on the relatively difficult task of actually doing it. You need to pay attention to the usual number handling and micromanagement, but you also need to pay close attention to employee-customer relationships and do things that “humanize the brand.” If your store is successful you can even turn it into a chain.

Technicity
Steam page (opens in new tab)
Release: September 15th
Developer: Osaris Games
Launch price: $14.39 |£11.59 |AU$20.76
On paper, Technicity sounds like a dream come true. It’s a city-building game like Cities Skylines, except for the first-person perspective. However, Technicity avoids many of the administrative aspects of regular city builders, adds a ton of automation features, and focuses more on planning your dream city, so it’s not that fast. But it’s basically minecraft in creative mode, I heard you, and you are partly right, except that Technicity really focuses on urban design and deep customization. Online play also lets you connect your city with your friend on a huge open-world map (or he can co-operate on one city if you prefer).
