Viewers of The MIX Summer Showcase were treated to a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming colorful strategy game Craftlings, and players around the world can jump into a new demo during June’s Steam Next Fest.
Developed by ARIANO Games, Craftlings is a throwback to strategy games from the 90s, set in a vibrant fantasy world with diverse biomes. Craftlings are as diligent as they are hapless, and it’ll take a keen strategic mind and refined sense of resource management to channel these creatures' unique focused energy into something productive and prevent them from plunging off the nearest cliff in their attempt to build their settlement. With the goal of tackling each level’s unique challenge, players will assign tasks, grow their settlement, optimize production chains, and upgrade their Town Hall to unlock new possibilities.
Craftlings will launch on PC later this year. Play the demo and wishlist the game on Steam here.

Initially announced earlier this year, the wonderfully whimsical ESOTERIC EBB received a new trailer during today’s showcase. Within, developer Christoffer Bodegård introduced viewers to ESOTERIC EBB and its key elements.
ESOTERIC EBB is an isometric, Disco-like, TTRPG-turned-CRPG, featuring deep and branching dialogs with a staggering amount of choice set in an Arcanepunk-fantasy setting. In ESOTERIC EBB, the player is the Cleric, one of many menial laborers of the city of Norvik. Tasked to solve the mystery of an exploded Tea Shop, players will roll dice against the voices in their head, explore a fantasy city on the brink of its first-ever election, and strive to become a hero of legends. Or completely ruin the campaign.
More details on ESOTERIC EBB are coming soon! Wishlist the game on Steam here.
