I've been thinking about ways to bring more attention to games that didn't get enough credit, and i had an idea of where to start. It's the end of April, so lets talk about games you might have missed that came out this month!I've got 20 games for you split into 10 categories. Come look!

a quick disclaimer tho: I haven't played most of these! I don't have infinite money, and while i'd love to try them (if any devs want to send me keys feel free) i mostly just try to find what looks interesting. So check out reviews yourself and see what you can find!

first up, 3D PLATFORMERS WHERE U PLAY AS A CUTE LITTLE GUYGame 1 is kilaflow! I did get to play this one, and the thing it reminded me most of was actually monkeyball, with it's challenge-based level structure. Amazing style, great music, fun time-attack gameplay, and cute robot furries.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2927510/KilaFlow

2nd cute little guy is GECKO GODSIt's a 3d-zeldaish exploration puzzle adventure game, but you're a little fuckin gecko who crawls on walls and drags things around with it's tongue. Perfect for anyone who really loves exploring in games, or just likes lizards a lot.https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290760/Gecko_Gods

Next category is FIRST PERSON HORROR GAME WITH AN ODD GAMEPLAY GIMMICKThere's a monster out there, and you only know one thing about it: IT HAS MY FACE. Sneak around and find your own clone to kill it before it transforms into something much, much harder to kill. A great premise for only 10 bucks.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2506530/It_Has_My_Face

Second fps horror is IDOLS OF ASH. We've seen a lot of "try to climb up down" games recently, with my personal favorite being the wonderful White Knuckle. This is a short gem of a horror experience; for 3 bucks you can descend into hell, diving deeper and deeper to avoid the Thing that's after you.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4450800/Idols_of_Ash

Next category is EXTREMELY CUTE PUZZLE PLATFORMERSwitch between 3 gay women to solve platforming puzzles while exploring a cool world... it's basically lost vikings but with gay women. And like. That's a perfect game pitch. Please make other old retro games but with trans furry gfs, game devs. Best game i've ever played that had a scene where you do an HRT injection.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2864880/Dungeon_Gals

Second game is JAMHOUSE!If your idea of a puzzle game is less a sprawling adventure and more tetris/puyo/etc, this is the one you'll want. Run and jump around a board picking up blocks to make matching jams, while also being an assortment of cute characters.https://store.steampowered.com/app/4300020/Jamhouse

the next oddly hyperspecific category is GAMES THAT LOOK LIKE MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTSScriptorium is an medieval manuscript art tool with a fun story mode, designed to make cartoonish illuminated drawings. Make art for your clients or just yourself that's absolutely covered in guys riding snails.https://store.steampowered.com/app/3119540/Scriptorium_Master_of_Manuscripts

Secondly (and i'm baffled that there's 2 of these??) is LEGENDS OF THE ROUND TABLEThis one i'm curious about; reviews from general rpg fans seem mixed, but reviews from people who have opinions on Malory's original La Morte d'Arthur are consistently impressed. If that's you, maybe check it out??https://store.steampowered.com/app/2387040/Legends_of_the_Round_Table

your other indie-replacement is SNAP AND GRABcan you replicate the chaos and fun of the Hitman trilogy's rube-goldberg assassinations on no budget? The Roundabout and 100 foot robot golf devs said yes, and made a hilarious attempt that's full of bad jokes and criminal yuri. What more can i ask for?https://store.steampowered.com/app/897160/Snap__Grab

second shmup recommendation of the month:Touhou Lensed Night Sky! It's a touhou fangame! there's a bit of roguelike, but mostly it's just good touhou content. Honestly I'm mostly posting this to alert all the Touhou girls to how cute Aunn is in this. Look at her. Buy this game and appreciate herhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/1825250/Touhou_Lensed_Night_Sky_Kaseigai

Another hyperspecific one: MYSTERY ADVENTURE GAME WITH A FOCUS ON TIMETHE POSTHUMOUS INVESTIGATION is a time-loop neo-noir mystery solving adventure game based on the writings of Machado de Assis, one of brazil's most famous novelists. If that doesn't sell you... do you just hate mysteries?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2466900/The_Posthumous_Investigation/

If you've already solved that case, though, there's MOSES AND PLATO - LAST TRAIN TO CLAWVILLELots of great voice acting, lots of questions to answer, and most importantly, lots of furries to find on this train. There's even a bug!!! I have to shout out a game with bug furries. :D :D :D https://store.steampowered.com/app/2230450/Moses__Plato__Last_Train_to_Clawville

If your preferred retro aesthetic leans more gameboy, however, there's THE THIRD SHIFT, a horror adventure game in the vein of of the FAITH trilogy about working at a horrifying museum. It's even got a spooky 90s-ass FMV trailer, what more can i ask for?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2079480/The_Third_Shift/

speaking of fmv, there's GOD I LOVE GAMES THAT USE FMV IN THEMForbidden solitaire is the incredible blend of the solitaire game devs behind Regency Solitaire and the horror-fmv geniuses behind Home Safety Hotline. That's a winning fucking combination, one i'm dying to try. Looks evil!!https://store.steampowered.com/app/3414580/Forbidden_Solitaire/

and while they're very different genres, my last two games do share one category: an ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING TITLE THAT I DON'T UNDERSTANDMOVES OF THE DIAMOND HAND is the newest Cosmo D game. If you don't know that name, play betrayal at club low, experience peak RPG oddity, then return to play this.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2778210/Moves_Of_The_Diamond_Hand

And lastly we have THE WIDE OPEN SKY IS RUNNING OUT OF CATFISH. Apparently there are catfish in this game, so maybe it makes sense once you play it. Either way, a photography game in a truly odd world seems like a really good way to spend at least a few hours. Thanks for reading all of these!https://store.steampowered.com/app/3172760/The_Wide_Open_Sky_is_Running_out_of_Catfish/
