Steam Next Fest (October 2025) — Day 6

Noctambulo

Story-rich adventure platformer

Holy crap, it's a GBC ROM being emulated! No wonder it looked so authentic.
Obviously sounds authentic, too, and the music makes good use of the Game Boy sound chip limitations
I managed to crash the game!
The start of the story has me hooked

Wishlisted

Multiplayer bike-racing 2D platformer

Promising follow-up to Ultimate Chicken Horse
Games take longer and feel more forgiving compared to Chicken Horse, which I don't like
Demo shows obvious bugs and content is obviously thin so far
The usual interesting emergent gameplay as Chicken Horse occurs, with players trying to find narrow tricks to finish the course while also trying to make it difficult
The setup seems a little more contrived compared to the simplicity of its predecessor

Already wishlisted

2D climbing, one hand at a time

I love games with awkward controls!
My hands are going to be so tired even playing just a bit of this but it will be worth it
Fun physics interactions like pulling yourself up really hard to go flying
Very rare case of a non-VR game having throwing physics
Perhaps a very good case in favour of the Steam Controller's two large touchpads

Wishlisted

Puzzle platformer with slot machine somehow
