By

Between 2026-10-07 and 2026-10-14 there were 105 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 768 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 13.7 % of total released titles. The highlight is a retro-looking game making you build stuff around cars in Car park Capital, published by Microprose.

And then you have Hungry Horrors mixing old English tales with deckbuilding mechanics.

All details below and a lot more games!

PHOBOS

Released on 14 Oct, 2026, developed by FourDots, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Indie, Early Access

About the game: A 4-8 player social deduction horror game. Solve puzzles that need real teamwork, survive monsters that each hunt differently, and figure out who you can trust before they decide for you.

Steam Reviews Summary: All 7 reviews are positive. Players love it as a group experience, especially for late night hangouts with friends. Games last about 10 minutes so you can play many in a row, it is easy to learn, and no two runs feel the same thanks to varying enemies and maps. Jump scares are well designed, the puzzles are fun, and the social deduction element makes friends bring out the absolute worst in each other (in a good way). One reviewer noted it is surprisingly bug-free for a first indie title from the dev.

BITWISE

Released on 13 Oct, 2026, developed by Faint Current, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Indie, Simulation

About the game: Close the loop and the lamp lights. Build the relay, the gate, the adder, the latch, the counter, and a machine that reads Morse. Every circuit runs on a real simulator, and the parts you build become parts you build with. 238 levels about electricity and the machines people made from it.

Steam Reviews Summary: Only one detailed review so far. The reviewer calls it wonderful edutainment for anyone into electricity, digital logic, and Morse code. The big sandbox for building ICs means size is not an issue. There are some difficulty spikes early on that can be tricky, and the reviewer is not a huge fan of the time-based scoring system, though it is generous enough and does not block progress if you choose not to play fast. Expects many hours of fun and learning ahead.

MY BEAUTIFUL FARAWAY, PLEASE DON’T BE CRUEL TO ME

Released on Oct 13, 2026, developed by arch1t3ct, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Adventure, Casual, Indie

About the game: A melancholic first-person adventure through a dreamlike, half-remembered nowhere. Explore, encounter its strange inhabitants, and solve puzzles as you unravel a story about the fragility of existence.

Steam Reviews Summary: Very Positive. The atmosphere is the clear standout: the gothic PS1-style art, dreamlike sound design, and melancholic soundtrack get consistent praise, with multiple reviewers comparing the vibe to Silent Hill 2 (more dreamlike and strange than scary). Puzzles are generally seen as fair and rewarding, making you think without feeling unfair, though a few specific ones (the organ/pipe puzzles and the TV puzzle) divide opinion. The story is deeply personal and thought provoking, and many reviewers note you can tell a one-man dev poured real passion into it. Common gripes: slow movement with a lot of running between areas, lack of hints or objective markers, and a few reviewers found the narrative a bit shallow or the dialogues raw. The feather collection feels pointless to some since it never comes into play. A couple of reviewers wished for a hint system or fixed save points. Overall seen as a sincere, atmospheric puzzle adventure that is worth it for the price, especially if you like slow-burn indie experiences.

HUNGRY HORRORS

Released on 13 Oct, 2026, developed by Clumsy Bear Studio, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, Strategy

About the game: Hungry Horrors is a story-driven deckbuilder set in the folklore of the British Isles. Cook real traditional dishes, chain flavour synergies, meet mythical characters, and feed legendary Horrors before they feed on you.

Steam Reviews Summary: Players are charmed by the premise of cooking your way through British folklore monsters instead of fighting them, and the sassy princess who complains about everything is a constant source of laughs. The deckbuilding loop gets deep fast: flavour synergies, spice augments, and each creature having its own love/hate dishes means runs stay varied and the “one more run” pull is strong. The art, idle animations, and especially the hilarious failure/death animations are widely praised. A couple of long-time early access players note the dev has been responsive to feedback. Minor gripes: ingredients can feel like junk once you have too many, the merchant UI is a bit confusing, a few reviewers wish for a hard save, and one or two found the humor overbearing. Great value for the price.

NOT AN NPC GAME

Released on 12 Oct, 2026, developed by rabizao, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Strategy

About the game: NOT AN NPC GAME is a competitive skill-based game about trapping enemies, predicting their next move, and escaping situations you probably shouldnât survive. Place walls, control the arena, pull off impossible outplays, and climb a brutal ranked ladder where every mistake matters.

Steam Reviews Summary: All so far are positive, and most come from Brazilian players who call it addictive, fun, and a great test of reflexes and quick thinking. The strategic side of predicting enemy moves and using the arena to your advantage is a recurring highlight, along with the visual design and soundtrack. A few note that some parts can feel repetitive after a while, and the ranked ladder gets genuinely tough above 1500 elo. The general vibe is that it is a solid, easy-to-pick-up competitive game that is great for quick sessions or playing with friends.

SPY DROPS GAIDEN

Released on 12 Oct, 2026, developed by Dadako and published by Rainy Frog Co. Ltd.. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action

About the game: Infiltrate enemy bases and undertake a series of covert ops in thrilling, old school 2D stealth action.

Steam Reviews Summary: Fans of retro stealth and the original Game Boy Metal Gear entries find this a charming, nostalgic little package at a very low price, with authentic 8-bit graphics and sound that sell the vibe. The 8-direction movement is a nice upgrade over the NES original. However, the most common complaints across both positive and negative reviews are the lack of remappable controls (crouching on Q is a frequent gripe), wall collisions that slow you down at the worst moment, and a color palette that can make maps hard to read. The game is short (8 missions plus bonus stages), has no mid-mission saves, no dialogue skip, and a soundtrack that some find repetitive. A couple of reviews mention it plays well on portable/handheld devices. For the price, most reviewers say it is worth a try if you like the genre, but it is not without rough edges.

BURN WITH ME

Released on 12 Oct, 2026, developed by Nozomu Games and published by Inner Pocket. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Indie, Strategy

About the game: Burn With Me is a story-centric deckbuilder filled with cozy dread and occultic mysteries. In order to summon a Personal Demon you’ll master inventive gameplay with position-based synergies, and permanently burn your cards and your soul.

Steam Reviews Summary: Reviewers love the cozy dread atmosphere, the cutesy-but-macabre art style, and the unique card-burning mechanic that turns a standard deckbuilder into something more puzzle-like. Each chapter layering a new rule on top of the base system is a big highlight, and the soundtrack, voice acting, and story get frequent praise. One reviewer specifically notes it plays fine on Steam Deck with no issues. The most common criticism is length: the story runs roughly 2 to 4 hours, which some feel is short for the price. A handful of players found the early part of Chapter 3 frustratingly RNG-dependent, and hard mode is described as brutal, with a few wishing for QoL options like skipping card offers, rerolling, or restarting from the last level. Overall it is seen as a polished, charming short that scratches a specific Inscryption-adjacent itch.

100 ROGUES

Released on 9 Oct, 2026, developed by Keith Burgun, and published by Paw Games. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, RPG, Strategy

About the game: A traditional roguelike with 4 player classes, each with a suite of tactical skills. Outmaneuver hordes of monsters armed with daggers, fireballs, poisonous gummi rats and grenade launchers. Tactical thinking and planning are essential! Go Kill Satan!

Steam Reviews Summary: This is very much a nostalgia release for people who played the iOS original back in the day, and those players are thrilled to have it on Steam at last. Reviews praise the tight traditional roguelike gameplay, the depth in items and class skills, the charming art and animations, and the fact that each class genuinely plays differently. One reviewer specifically mentions it plays great on Steam Deck with a compatibility layer, calling it a perfect coffee break roguelike. A few note it is quite hard on Normal difficulty, the field of view could be wider, and there are minor menu bugs. Several reviewers hope for more classes or content in future updates, but the general sentiment is that this is a beloved hidden gem finally getting the audience it deserved.

TRUCKFUL

Released on 9 Oct, 2026, developed by MythicOwl and published by MythicOwl, . [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure

About the game: Drive your pickup truck through seemingly peaceful countryside valleys, deliver much-needed goods to local townsfolk and unravel the small town mystery. Beware, the old forest is watching.

Steam Reviews Summary: The art style, atmosphere, and DREDGE/Pacific Drive comparisons are what draw people in, and many find the world genuinely beautiful and the cargo physics a fun oddity. One reviewer calls it one of the smoothest experiences they have had on handheld. However, the reviews are split, and the criticism is consistent and pointed: the fixed, auto-rotating camera is the single biggest complaint, with players reporting they cannot see the road, cannot control the view, and constantly crash into things they cannot see. Driving controls are described as slippery and frustrating, the GPS is considered nearly useless and takes one of only three accessory slots, and the tight distance/time bonus objectives are called near impossible. Missions cannot be redone after turning them in, which locks players out of achievements. Day 1 patches have addressed some soft lock and rotation bugs, and a few reviewers who pushed through say the game gets better, but the consensus is that the core driving and navigation feel need significant work before this lives up to its visual promise.

BUITOPIA DVD

Released on 9 Oct, 2026, developed by Ben Wheele and published by Nondoon. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Indie

About the game: A short interactive DVD game. Today is Jess’s Birthday! Can you find her a suitable gift? Just don’t get distracted and forget about Jess. DVDs can’t be cursed… right? Yeah it’s fine.

Steam Reviews Summary: Fans of Ben Wheele’s YouTube work are clearly the core audience, and they are delighted. The absurd mix of art styles, the perfect blend of humor and horror, and the nostalgic “I am 10 years old pressing buttons on a DVD remote” tone are the big draws. One reviewer highlights the clever touch of including an actual ISO disc image you can burn to a physical DVD. The game is short and sweet, and most say it is worth the small price for the novelty and charm alone. A few note the quiz section is surprisingly difficult, the interaction can feel clunky, and there is no in-game hint that you press M to open the options menu (which matters for captioning). It is very much a niche, art-project-style experience, but the people it is for are having a great time.

CAR PARK CAPITAL

Released on 9 Oct, 2026, developed by Hilkojj Interactive and published by MicroProse Software. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Indie, Simulation, Strategy, Early Access

About the game: The car industry needs you to design and build the greatest car parks that simple town life hasn’t seen before. Introduce the need for car commuting and turn neighborhoods into car parks! Use propaganda to convince people to pay you for it. Fight people that see through your oily business.

Steam Reviews Summary: This is being treated as the Rollercoaster Tycoon heir it clearly is aiming for, and the response is overwhelmingly enthusiastic. The dark satire of evicting people, polluting land to buy it cheaper, forcing car dependency, and hiring riot police to beat up protesters is the centerpiece of the fun, with many reviews leaning into the “I am a 90s corporate villain” energy. The management loop of buying land, building parking and services, then manufacturing demand is described as satisfying and hard to put down, and the soundtrack gets frequent praise. Since it is Early Access, the main criticisms are that there are only three scenarios, money becomes too easy to earn once the main income streams are running, riot police management is tedious without a unified menu, and there is an undo bug that can wipe out your entire build. The general expectation is that more scenarios, a workshop, and QoL updates will keep it growing.

ESCAPE: IMMERSION

Released on 9 Oct, 2026, developed by AzDimension, Royal Games and published by Royal Games. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Action, Adventure, Indie

About the game: Escape: Immersion is a cinematic 2.5D horror adventure set inside a collapsing underwater military base. Explore flooded corridors, solve environmental puzzles, evade deadly traps, and uncover your past.

Steam Reviews Summary: Very Positive. Players call the atmosphere the standout, with a constant feeling that something could go wrong at any moment, and the creaking metal and distant sounds keep you on edge even when nothing is happening. The VHS retro visual style and sound design are widely praised, with the groaning bulkheads giving genuine chills. The collapsing base, water physics and darkness build relentless tension, and the environmental puzzles feel clever and high stakes. It is brutal in places, and rushing through sections will get you killed over and over, so slowing down and listening to the audio cues helps a lot. Limbo, Inside, Little Nightmares and Another World come up a lot as comparisons. Minor gripes: it is short, a couple of camera transitions are abrupt, some animations need polish, and one detailed reviewer found the character model slippery, the puzzles too generic, and the story too detached to recommend at full price.

A TALE AMIDST MEMORIES (Free Game)

Released on 8 Oct, 2026, developed by Moliterno Al Tartufo, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Adventure, Indie, Free To Play

About the game: While memory fades over time, our most cherished memories remain set in stone and define who we are. Journey through a semi-contemplative world as a plushie on a quest to reunite with its childhood best friend.

FUCK THE OCEAN

Released on 8 Oct, 2026, developed by EO4 Games, self-published. [Steam Store Page]

Genre: Casual, Indie, Simulation

About the game: One wet sock. A wildly unreasonable response. Fill puddles, lakes and entire oceans with sand, garden gnomes and increasingly ridiculous machinery in this simple, funny incremental game.

Steam Reviews Summary: Positive. Players love the ridiculous premise and tongue in cheek humor, from the one wet sock to garden gnomes and weaponised ducks, and the clean, charming art style matches the jokes well. It is described as cozy, addictive and satisfying, easy to get caught up in with “one more upgrade” sessions, and great value for the price. Being able to see every purchased piece of machinery actually working is a welcome change from other idle games. The negatives: some find it unpolished, with weird price scaling where buying upgrades makes units more expensive and vice versa, a slow grindy progression with little variation, talents that barely matter, and an auto buy that only handles one thing at a time.
