Shim is what every child imagines as there cool imaginary friend did parkour in the shadows

Ever since they revealed it, I’ve enjoyed how Tchia combines elements of Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild to create a completely different environment and story, which feel very personal and authentic

Honorable mention: it's hard to say goodbye, a picture book style game about death

I've had Terra Nil on my Steam wishlist for months.

the fact you forgot to mention the 'bear' is actually that honey bottle we all wanted as kids broke my heart

The first one makes my brain go against all my RTS teachings, I love it, it's actually hard

[timmychurros]

All of these are awesome. Thanks for the recommendations

Anyone who's interested in the last game, I definitely recommend Lost Ember by Mooneye. It was released in 2019 and it also has you being able to swap between different animals to get thru different parts of the game.
The story is about a wolf (the player) helping a spirit cross into the afterlife and while I can't remember the details, I do remember it being an aesthetically beautiful and amazing game, definitely check it out!

Omfg Tchia is developed by a friend of mine, I can't believe I'm seeing it here !! It's their second game and it looks spectacular !! So happy they're getting the recognition they deserve

I have been waiting for Schim for the past year, I’m so excited for it to finally come out!

[Rocky-ywzo]

Hunger and fear is my personal comfort game this year

[aren]

for anyone interested, "schim" is actually the dutch word for shadow/shade, which of course goes really well with the game :]

Tchia's plot sounds like other indie-game - The Last Ember

[leyschips]

unpacking is incredible!! if you’re a fan of organisation and cosy houses, you’ll love it.

[EeveeMaster]

Tchia sounds like it has a vaguely similar concept to Lost Ember, with the soul jumping. Neat

[hotaruishere]

I don't know how I feel about the concept of "soul jumping", but I'm very excited about Tchia!!

[bretscofield]

Terra Nil and Schim and have been on my wishlist for quite some time. Look forward to them they when they are out.
