With dozens of games released on Steam every day, it's nearly impossible to keep track of all the releases to find hidden gems. PC Gamer Portal make up A collection of five worthwhile games you might have missed.
Mom's sleeping angels
Mama's Sleeping Angels is a cross between Lethal Company and Cruelty Squad, wrapped in 2000s nostalgia. Players (alone or with three companions) will have to wander through unpredictable dream worlds to collect “cursed objects” that grant various abilities, such as jumping very high. And as you travel, the game will tell you why you're trapped in an absurd dream.

Lucid block
Lucid Blocks answers a very simple question: what if Minecraft was a surreal sandbox mixing voxels, dreams, and liminal space? The result will be a familiar game with endless procedural generation, where you can find “plastic cities, quiet grasslands and giant abandoned warehouses”.

The state of nothingness
State of Nowhere is very similar to Papers, Please, with the only difference being that here the player is not given the role of a border guard but a bureaucrat who decides who has access to food in a totalitarian dystopia. The storyline offers up to 46 different endings, which can be found in 4 different game modes.

Pluto
A slightly surreal card roguelike, similar to Eye of the Beholder and Garbage Pail Kids at the same time. In Pluto, players take on the role of a prisoner witch who needs to throw off her chains and escape a creepy dungeon so she can arrive on time for her vacation with her niece. And eight playable characters, exotic elemental combinations and a large arsenal of magic cards will help you do this.
