Our 5 favorite games to wishlist from Day of the Devs 2023

pcgamer.com:

Day of the Devs followed up the Summer Game Fest stream with a handful of upcoming games worth paying attention to.

The show gave each game a full segment where the developers described their game and what inspired them. Aside from games I'm already excited for, like Hyper Light Breaker, the stream had several trailers for games that bend existing genres and have exceptionally pretty visual styles.

All of these games are on Steam so you can add them to your wishlist to know when they come out. It's a little bit of a bummer that none of these games have specific release dates, but a couple of them are targeted for this year.

Here are the five games you shouldn't overlook from the Day of the Devs stream:

Release date: 2024

Beastieball comes from Greg Lobanov and the team behind Chicory and Wandersong. It's a Pokemon-like where you play a game similar to volleyball with cute little monsters, or beasties. Instead of catching all of them, you're encouraged to collect the ones you like and form a relationship with them to unlock new powers for your matches.

A Kickstarter to crowdfund some of the game's development will be available soon.

Simpler Times sets off Unpacking alarms with its coming-of-age story and organization-focused tasks. The first-person packing game has you move through main character Tiana's memories as she prepares to move out of her childhood home. You can take Polaroid photos, pick apples, play records, and slowly (and sadly) choose what items to take with you.

Viewfinder is a game with one extremely ambitious mechanic: you find and take photos to turn them into parts of the environment. This first-person puzzle game
