It’s a fact that many Steam users don’t check or even notice most Greenlight additions. There are simply too many, making it rather time-consuming. Hoping to alleviate this problem, I bring you The Greenlight Groove, featuring my recommendations from the past week!
Wow. A crazy amount of interesting submissions this time. With horror adventures, an office stealth title, 2D RTS, puzzle, platformers and a funky jazz game, these recommendations are certainly wild, varied and dare I say, wonderful. As you go through the list of no less than thirteen candidates, I have but one request: would you kindly help make sure none of them end up as a potential Stuck In Greenlight Limbo candidate? Either by voting or by providing their creators with feedback.
Moonchild
Moonchild is a unique and stand-alone adventure featuring 9 characters, plenty of sidequests and countless items and spells. Play as Queen Calypso and her friends going after Calypso’s abducted child and trying to figure out what happened… and why. Can you solve the mystery and rescue Moonchild? Play the game and find out!

Naught 2
Not only has Naught’s world been completely redesigned to create more interactive and detailed environments, it includes new features that enhance the gameplay and reinvent platform game style. Naught is now characterized by procedural animations that allow him to adapt his movements to the surroundings by holding on to walls, modifying his way of walking depending on gravity and the ground surface, and pushing objects in a unique and dynamic fashion.
Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal
Instead of discreet units that attack your base, a fluid-like substance spreads over the terraformable terrain. Your base, your weapons, your strategy… you must adapt them all.
EMPIRE: The Deck Building Strategy Game
The world is full of terrible horrors, however, and they will wear away at your Empire from all sides. Natural resources have become more scarce.

Zombie Mode
Waking up with your face being eaten by the undead sucks. Your character, NoFace, wakes up in a large, what appears to abandoned, house with a zombie eating his face. You then travel room by room emptying your clip into hordes of the undead as you unlock the secrets of the labyrinth you find yourself trapped in, all the while gaining access to new faces and weapons.
LEVEL 22, Gary’s Misadventures
Gary is an office worker who oversleeps after a drunken night out on the town. Here’s where it gets tricky, because this isn’t the first time Gary’s been late for work, and he could be fired if he’s spotted arriving at his desk after everyone else yet again. So he’ll have to prove he’s smart and sneaky enough to make his way up all the 22 floors between him and his office without being seen.
