Also in the first week of August, some Steam premieres will appear again, including a western strategy game, an unusual camp simulator, a highly anticipated DLC and a mortuary assistant.
And another busy week for indies is coming up: three interesting games and one DLC are on the agenda this week on Steam (unfortunately not yet on GoG). Introducing Hard West 2, American Truck Simulator – Montana, Camp Canyonwood and The Mortuary Assistant.
What is Hard West 2 about?
Already on 4.8. starts with Hard West 2, the successor to the turn-based tactics game from 2015, which was then developed by CreativeForge Games and published by Gambitious Digital Entertainment. The slightly supernatural Western scenario was well received despite a few bugs, now part 2 is available from another developer including on Steam. Hard West 2 is described as “a journey into the dark heart of the American West”. The task: “Command a supernatural gang and conquer the mysterious ghost train. In this turn-based strategy game in the Wild West, where nothing is as it seems, you need cleverness, nasty tricks and big weapons”. XCOM fans should rejoice if the bugs don’t get the upper hand again.
What is the Montana DLC about?
The developers already announced in April a DLC for American Truck Simulator about the US state of Montana. Now it is clear that from August 4th you can hit the roads around the mountainous landscapes and forests. The town of Thompson Falls should be particularly familiar to series veterans, as it was already passable in Extreme Trucker 2. The city is known for the lumberjack and sawmill industry. With Montana, there are already eleven different US states that have found their way into American Truck Simulator.
What is Camp Canyonwood about?
PCGH recently introduced the unusual survival camp game. Camp Canyonwood also goes on August 4th. into Steam Early Access. Players can take on the role of Camp Canyonwood’s newest caretaker, mentoring camp visitors, teaching them new skills, earning badges, and working to renovate camp. Typical summer camp activities include fishing, archery, rock picking and star gazing. However, as each camper has an individual personality with very different quirks and preferences, the player must balance all of this to ensure their guests have a great time. As a summer camp leader, you keep an eye out for dangers such as snakes, bears – but also extraterrestrials.
What is The Mortuary Assistant about?
The fourth and final introduction revolves around the “funeral assistant”. The Mortuary Assistant appears already on 2.8. on Steam and would like to serve the player’s training at River Fields Funeral Home. Players help the undertaker with his daily chores while learning the embalming process and proper care of the deceased. But that’s by far not all: Late in the evening some new corpses appear that are different than usual. The description of the game speaks of demonic powers and occult rituals. There is said to be a “groundbreaking system” that makes each playthrough unique. We are curious about the title.
