On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we’ve gathered the best PC games (opens in new tab) you can play right now and a running list of the 2022 games (opens in new tab) that are launching this year.
Moth Lake

Release: December 3
Developer: Stefano Mazzotta (Il Sui)
Launch price: $7 | £7 | AU$10.15
Moth Lake is a horror point and click adventure set in a small town during a solar eclipse. It follows the misadventures of six teenagers as they explore this creepy little town and face some of the grim truths about their lives. This is emphatically a horror game—the ’90s style pixel art does a surprisingly good job of capturing a sinister, oppressive atmosphere—but don’t expect vicious jump scares or gore, but rather a more slow burn approach to psychological dread. Throughout the adventure you’ll need to manage the group’s energy and mood, which can not only affect their interactions with the other characters, but may have roll-on effects on how the narrative as a whole plays out. Modern takes on the point and click adventure are abundant these days, but this one looks quite distinctive.
