GamesHub got an early preview of this title, and we were very impressed with the game’s sleek gameplay, shadowy art style and stealth mechanics that made hunting and hiding a real joy.

Read: Winter Ember is a sleek Aussie stealth game for goths

In revenge, he sets out on a gloomy quest through Victorian-era streets as he attempts to hunt down his family’s killers. You play as Arthur, a former noble who has his entire world pulled out from under him when assassins break into his ancestral home and kill his entire family. Winter Emberis a stealth adventure that takes inspiration from classics like Thief and Dishonored, while putting a top-down spin on the genre. Like other games on the list, you can check out the demo for the duration of Steam Next Fest. It’s been described as ‘ Winnie the Pooh meets Twin Peaks‘, and that’s certainly a combination that needs to be seen to be believed. There are multiple paths here, and a number of collectibles to find, making this storybook-like narrative one that can be played and replayed until you find the real truth lurking in the heart of Luca’s town.

Along the way, you’ll be able to subtly manipulate the events of the game, choosing paths for Luca and helping them investigate the goings-on in the strange town of Beacon Pines. It appears to play out in hybrid fashion: you read from the book, and also act out its action as deer Luca.
