02
95.9% positive · 119,188 reviews · EUR 4.99

Open →
03
95.4% positive · 31,849 reviews · USD 4.99
Halls of Torment

Open →
04
95.9% positive · 22,942 reviews · USD 4.99
Monster Train
Monster Train is a vertical deckbuilder: defend three train cars, stack units, climb a hell run.
Open →
05
97% positive · 1,554,677 reviews · USD 9.99
Terraria
Terraria is a 2D sandbox that outgrew the '2D Minecraft' shorthand: bosses, classes, and a craft tree that keeps rewriting the world. Co-op is optional; the map is persistent.
Open →
06
97% positive · 510,834 reviews · USD 9.99
Lethal Company
Lethal Company is co-op horror about meeting a quota with friends who will scream. The loop is extract, not campaign.
Open →
07
98.5% positive · 316,774 reviews · EUR 8.19
People Playground
A physics sandbox where you build, break and burn ragdolls. No fail state: the scene stays up while you keep experimenting.
Open →
08
92% positive · 747,865 reviews · USD 4.99
Among Us
Among Us is a short social-deduction party game. The Steam history is two quiet years, then a creator cascade in 2020 — no feature update that 'fixed' the game.
Open →
09
95.2% positive · 123,935 reviews · EUR 2.99
Buckshot Roulette
Buckshot Roulette is a shotgun wager: skip shells, take pills, do not blink. A round is a bet, and the table is the whole campaign.
Open →
10
93.8% positive · 162,537 reviews · EUR 7.49
Content Warning
Content Warning is a fake-YouTube horror drop: film the monster, extract the tape, hope the clip is the product and not the obituary. A camcorder is the weapon, and the instance is a dare.
Open →
11
95.1% positive · 78,837 reviews · EUR 9.99
FTL: Faster Than Light
FTL: Faster Than Light is a space roguelike: you command one ship across eight sectors, jump from beacon to beacon, and manage crew, power and weapons in fights you can pause at any moment.
Open →
12
97.4% positive · 70,338 reviews · EUR 4.99
WEBFISHING
WEBFISHING is a social fishing lobby: chat, catch, vibe. The fish are an excuse to linger, and the dock is a campfire that happens to have a rod.

ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
ENDER LILIES is a grim 2D metroidvania: you send a chorus of bound knights through a ruin, then you walk the map you already paid for.
Open →
14
89.9% positive · 161,236 reviews · EUR 9.49
Escape the Backrooms
Escape the Backrooms is liminal co-op horror: wander yellow rooms, don't get got. The space is the monster, and the friend on voice is the map you forgot.
Open →
15
96.3% positive · 24,327 reviews · EUR 8.19
Mini Motorways
Mini Motorways is a traffic puzzle that ends when the city clogs. A colour wants a road, then another colour, then the river you already spent.

shapez
Shapez is an abstract belt puzzle that becomes a factory.
