Steam has just debuted the "Steam Animal Fest" for 2025, and it features over 2100 games, either already released or upcoming, that have animals of some sort in them. Of course, there are way too many games for us to list all of them here, and luckily Steam gathered them all together conveniently already. We're sure to cover many of these games in the coming months here on GF!

New Steam Points Shop Items for Animal Fest 2025 are also available!

We have the very exciting opportunity today to talk with Isak Wahl, the CEO of Snow Leaf Studios, developers of the newly released roguelite title, Brew! I spent time playing the demo of Brew over the Summer and absolutely adored the characters, gameplay loop, and unique story that their team is putting together. It’s clear that the direction and mission of the team is full of unique experiences and drive, as evidenced by the well-developed demo and intriguing taste of the world we now get to blast, brew, and dodge our way through. With that said, we couldn’t wait to get some additional insight into the development of this furry character-filled world.

Monster capturing plus roguelite, turn-based battling is a combo that seems tailor-made for the current gaming landscape. With that much potential, it’s no surprise that the folks at moi rai games, developers of the popular indie hit Monster Sanctuary, would decide to bring their new game Aethermancer to Steam in an Early Access format. Luckily, the game debuts at an exceptionally playable place, and is teeming with taming goodness mixed with a deep, robust skill and gameplay loop that will benefit even more with some tinkering as the development cycle continues into their Early Access Roadmap. For now, let’s check out what’s good (and needs some work) when it comes to Aethermancer in its current state.

Independent developer Finite Reflection Studios has announced Mouseward, an N64-inspired Soulslike, coming to PC. Featuring a modern take on retro aesthetics, the game is "a nostalgic love letter to the golden age of 3D adventures."

Watch the Mouseward announcement trailer:

Austrian developer Everflux Games is excited to announce their debut title, Edenfall: Legacy of the First Wardens is coming to Steam in 2026. Edenfall: Legacy of the First Wardens is a single-player action-adventure set in a charming, hand-crafted environment. Players will play as Venya, a young shapeshifting heroine, on her journey through a whimsical world. Eden has been overrun by evil creatures. It's your task to drive them out and heal the world. Discover your people's past and uncover your magical abilities, including the power to transform into animals, including a wolf, raccoon, and raven.

The concept of Gold Gold Adventure Gold is an intriguing one. You play as a God-like overseer watching over a growing kingdom meant to do one thing: acquire more and more gold through various means. Whether this is by selling goods, completing dungeon quests, or enticing generous adventurers into your tavern and other market stalls, your omnipotent powers are constantly used to build on, upgrade, and expand your settlement, whilst also making sure it doesn’t fall to the nearly nightly hordes of monsters that try and attack it if you don’t keep them at bay. All the while you’re also joined by a God-beast of your choosing that acts as a “boots on the ground” being that wreaks havoc on enemies, or assists adventurers in their quests. This is still an early access game, so I’m taking that into account in this review.
