Everything shown at today’s Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition showcase
Today marks the Summer Game Fest kick-off, and both the Live showcase and ensuing Day of the Devs have come to a close. In the latter, there were a bunch of really rad games, from both well-known developers and exciting newcomers.
While the Summer Game Fest Live showcase tends to focus on bigger games, the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition showcase centered on smaller projects and teams. It’s a tradition that Double Fine has organized for a decade at this point, and it’s always nice to see what neat projects make their way into the showcase.
This year had some absolute winners, too. Bear and Breakfast continues to look like a chill, fun management sim and it’s arriving very soon. So is Escape Academy, a school life-meets-puzzle room adventure. And then there’s Choo-Choo Charles. Good lord, Choo-Choo Charles.
But if evil hell-trains aren’t your thing, there’s the whimsy of Time Flies, an open-world game about the life of a fly. Or the intricate puzzles of Animal Well, which had a puzzle baked into its trailer. Here’s the full rundown from today’s showcase.
Time Flies by Michael Frei & Raphaël Munoz
Explore the life of a fly in this open-world adventure. Well, run-based open-world adventure. Flies don’t live very long, so you’ll have to tackle life goals and complete as much as you can before it comes to a close. Time Flies is coming to PlayStation, Switch, and PC sometime in 2023. You can wishlist it on Steam here.
Planet of Lanaby Wishfully Studios
This side-scrolling adventure looks similar to Inside or Unravel. Team up with a little companion to evade baddies and save your sister sometime this year on PC and Xbox. Find it on Steam here.
