Wholesome Games has locked in a Wholesome Direct online showcase for 8 June 2024, with over 70 games set to feature. The latest Direct will be a cosy alternative to the bombast of Summer Game Fest, with quieter and more calming vibes.
As the announcement goes, this year’s show will be “bursting with indie flavour,” and feature “a vibrant lineup of artistic, uplifting, and emotionally resonant games from developers of all sizes from around the world!” In past years, Wholesome Direct has spotlighted an array of awesome-looking games, including plenty of Australian-made adventures.
Standouts from the Wholesome Direct 2023 showcase included Mineko’s Night Market, Sticky Business, Henry Halfhead, A Tiny Sticker Tale, Unpacking, Tiny Bookshop, Wood & Weather, and Go-Go Town! but there was much more besides these games.
Typically, the Wholesome Direct is a great opportunity to get a glimpse at the brightest indie games of the future, and it’s a great wishlist-stuffer for Steam users.
