We’re into that final weekend before Christmas, which means that new releases in gaming have more or less dried up. That said, there’s a Steam Sale going on, and a sale on Epic Games as well, both very worth checking out. We’re going to cover some games I’m pretty certain I haven’t talked about over the last few months this week, just in case you’re looking for something you might have overlooked.
Let’s get into it!
Another Crab’s Treasure
Another Crab’s Treasure is a soulslike adventure set in a crumbling underwater world. As Kril the hermit crab, you’ll need to wear the trash around you as shells to withstand attacks from enemies many times your size. Embark on an epic treasure hunt to buy back your repossessed shell, and discover the dark secrets behind the polluted ocean. Another Crab’s Treasure is designed to be an approachable soulslike game for new players, adding in quality of life features and assist options (including giving Kril a gun that one-shots enemies).
Get Another Crab’s Treasure on sale at Steam for $19.79 (34% off).
Chants of Sennaar
Divided since the dawn of time, the Peoples of the Tower no longer speak to each other, isolated by fear or mistrust. It is said that one day, a Traveler will find the wisdom to break down the walls and restore the balance. Travel the endless steps of a prodigious labyrinth, uncover the truth and unveil the mysteries of this fascinating universe where ancient languages are both the lock and the key. Inspired by the myth of Babel, discover an enigmatic and vast tower. As the Traveler, delve into a world full of mysteries, where Peoples have grown distant, unable to communicate with each other anymore. Begin your adventure in a prodigious tower inhabited by five distinct Peoples, observe, listen, and strive to mend the bonds of distrust.

Caves of Qud
Caves of Qud is a project of epic proportions that’s been in development for over fifteen years, since 2007. It began as the science fantasy roguelike dream of co-creators Jason Grinblat and Brian Bucklew, who released the first beta in 2010. Since then, it’s accrued a few more contributors who have enriched the project by helping to add visual effects, sound effects, an original soundtrack, a new UI, new game systems, new lore, and half a world of content. Caves of Qud has grown into a wild garden of emergent narrative, where a handwritten story weaves a path through rich physical, social, and historical simulations. The result is a hybrid handcrafted and procedurally-generated world that’s alive in a way few games are.
Get Caves of Qud on Steam for $25.49 (15% off).
Ballionaire
Ballionaire is yet another roguelike, and this one uses pachinko like a few of the roguelikes we’ve covered in the past. Drop your ball from the top of the board, have it hit triggers, set off chaos, and collect your boons and earnings. Beware though, the three Elders will challenge you with Tribulations; should you not be up to the task, that spells the end of it for you — but succeed? Well, you’ll become the Ballionaire! You wouldn’t want to fail to appease the Elders, would you?
Get Ballionaire on Steam for $10 (19% off).
