Up to Six Players Haul Furniture Out in PICK A BOO, Now on Steam
Toydium developed PICK A BOO, and Game & Co. published it. It’s out now on Steam, with English support. Up to six players team up online, controlling dolls with feelings and carrying furniture and keepsakes to a truck before time runs out. Magnetic power lifts objects into a cluster, and the cluster can be swung at enemies. Limbs can be detached and swapped for parts with different abilities, such as flamethrowers and beams. Stages are procedurally generated, and collecting objects earns experience that lets you carry bigger loads. Voice chat is supported.

Near The Sun, About a Boy Dashing With His Sister on His Back, Has a Demo Out
Nonlinear developed Near The Sun, a 2D action-adventure, and Phoenixx publishes it. According to 4Gamer.net, it launches on PC (Steam) on November 27. A boy carries his sister on his back as he searches for a way to save a girl from the previous world. He slips past the gaze of mechanical life forms, and dashing into an enemy paralyzes it. Each hit refills his dashes, so he can chain straight into the next one. The order in which you explore areas changes the story, and the game has multiple endings. A demo is out now, and the full game supports English.
