The released headliners are a four-player co-op shooter and a roguelite hockey game. Around them sits a stretch of smaller independent titles, from an incremental excavation game with a dog mayor to a one-night psychological horror story about ritual cooking. The most prominent series entry in the list is a pixel-art Final Fantasy built on HD-2D visuals, with camerawork created by pixelating 3D models. The spread points to what the storefront release calendar now looks like: co-op runs, short horror, management sims, and franchise work sharing one shelf.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMycopunk\u003c/strong\u003e: Four-player co-op looter shooter set on a fungus-infected planet; MODs slot into a grid-shaped frame\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTape to Tape\u003c/strong\u003e: Roguelite ice hockey; a loss ends the run and the next attempt brings new players and routes\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINAL FANTASY RESONANCE\u003c/strong\u003e: Series entry in HD-2D pixel art, with movie scenes made by pixelating 3D models\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Dig\u003c/strong\u003e: Incremental excavation game; compact, with a conclusion in about 3 to 4 hours\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCucina Stellata\u003c/strong\u003e: Short psychological horror about 19th-century Italian cooking and an uninvited ingredient\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStupid Never Dies\u003c/strong\u003e: 3D action RPG about Davey, the weakest zombie in a monster-ruled dungeon\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGONE Fishing\u003c/strong\u003e: One-to-eight-player survival horror; fish offerings to an ancient lake monster or become sacrifices\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDungeon Inn\u003c/strong\u003e: Management sim with strategy elements; run an inn at a dungeon entrance through a dragon\u0026#39;s deal\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Mycopunk and Tape to Tape got the same Weekly Steam Square slot, but Tape to Tape folds its stated run-ending loss condition into the pitch.
