Danchi Days, out this October, brings the Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak vibes I've been desperately craving since childhood

I think about Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak, a GBA game that has never seen a release outside of that platform, probably more than I should. That's primarily because my experience of it is solely relegated to occasionally (very occasionally) playing a friend's copy on the way to school, I never actually owned it. There's just something so vibey and hangoutable about it that I've never really seen captured in another game before, except for maybe the upcoming Danchi Days. Which, thankfully, has a release date at long last!

Polyzonia is an ecosystem sim about breathing life into the Amazon rainforest until it can look after itself

How about we get in our digital grass touching for the day? Well, I suppose we can't just yet, as Polyzonia, an ecosystem sim set in the Amazon rainforest, isn't out just yet, but it has caught my eye at the very least.

Arise Dark Lord is an action-RTS hybrid styled like a Lord of the Rings map where you raise an army of the undead to kill all humans

What do we want? The ability to be evil in video games! How do we want it? Designed in a way that's mechanically enriching! That's what I'm hoping Arise Dark Lord will be, anyway, a Frankensteinian mish mash of action, real-time strategy, tower defence and base building where you are an evil overlord who rules over a nefarious army and wants to kill all humans.

Repair sick robots and contemplate the role of healthcare providers in the deeply textured, pixel art, cyberpunk visual novel All Our Broken Parts

All Our Broken Parts is a game that is a lot to take in almost out the gate. It's a cyberpunk visual novel with resplendently detailed pixel art where you play as a robot doctor taking care of other robots, each with their own unique affliction. Oh, and humans have disappeared, the ocean doesn't exist anymore, and after a medical mishap, you've been forced into a tiny clinic with not much going for you.
