The "Five new Steam games you probably missed" article always highlights the weirdest games that I'm always glad that I missed. So here's my list of fourteen games that launched TODAY that might be interesting to someone. And trust me, I left a bunch off this list.
Paraopticon is an Observation Duty / Puzzle Game Style mix. Try to spot all anomalies and report them so you don´t die.Make it till 6 AM and you survive.
store.steampowered.com
This has a lot of different categories listed under it, but what it looks like to me is an observation, horror, puzzler. Graphics look nice to me. Has 1 positive user review.
A roguelite, dungeon crawler, where you move all objects at the same time, and the same types that touch - merge into one! Defeat enemies, level up, solve quests, unlock new things, upgrade your character, and cast powerful spells!
store.steampowered.com
Once again, the categories seem like a fail. This is a complex puzzle game that looks a little like a match 3 game but with numbers and other things. No user reviews.
ReThink | Lite is a Puzzle Game in a peaceful futuristic setting, that is a spiritual successor to ReThink 2 and features a variety of Puzzles that utilize Lasers and the behavior of light and it's colors to create challenging problems to solve.

To get to heaven, you must climb the Nine Circles of Hell. But you might never make it to the depths.

Interesting art style in this "choose your own adventure" visual novel that is completely free (hmm, didn't I make a thread for this?). No user reviews.

ReThink | Evolved 5 is a Puzzle Game in a peaceful futuristic setting, that features a variety of Puzzles that utilize Lasers and the behavior of light and it's colors to create challenging problems to solve.
store.steampowered.com
I have no idea why they released two different ReThink games in the same day, but this one looks good, too. Unfortunately, their wacky marketing plan doesn't seem to have worked because there are no user reviews for this one either.
Draft Day Sports: Pro Football 2024 puts you in the role of general manager of your favorite football team. Every decision can be made by you from drafting, trading, signing free agents right down to creating and calling your own plays to lead your team to championship glory and becoming a dynasty.
store.steampowered.com
These games are usually not great, but it looks like the developer put extra work into this year's version, as it looks completely different from previous entries. Unfortunately, there are no user reviews, and I'm not going to be the first person to pay $40 for it.
