Steam Week in Review: Here are the 32 Steam games brave enough to release on GTA 6 day


Lord of Undead is a “grim” third-person RPG about building an army of vicious zombies in order to maliciously raze the villages of mortals. The goal is to defeat peace and innocence, all the better for evil to prevail. You also get to build houses. It sounds pretty fun and, as far as I can tell, it’s the second most popular game releasing on November 19 behind GTA 6.

Lord of Undead does have some advantages. The most obvious is that GTA 6 isn’t coming to PC. It also has the most “Follows” of all Steam games releasing that day. Follows are different to wishlists: to follow a game is to see news and announcements about it in your news and updates feed, but you won’t receive a notification when it releases. Wishlist data isn’t public, but follows, for some reason, is.

Lord of Undead has a fairly impressive 2,649 follows right now, slightly more than Parry Survivor, which enjoys 2,062. Parry Survivor stars a school-uniformed anime character who must fend off waves of masked boys. It’s from the creator of Kunkun League, Black Gunner Wukong and Evolve or Die, all of which have between 150 and 450 “very positive” reviews.

We have other games to look forward to as well: at least 30 more. Cute Country has 736 follows and is described on its Steam page as “super cute cure simulation operation single machine masterpiece” (I think it’s basically a city builder with mobile game RPG elements). Then, with 123 follows is Phantom Vice Auto, which Chris Livingston has already written about.

Looking further afield, Man Simulator has a modest 9 follows. It’s a “comedy simulator” where you get to be a slobbish middle-aged man: there’s law mowing, fishing, hammering, wood chopping, barbequing, beer drinking, and it promises “meme-style presentation and humor”.

And it wouldn’t be a day on Steam, let alone GTA 6 launch day, without yet another first-person horror game. Flick is “a first-person body-cam horror game scientifically engineered to spike feelings of dread”, which may help to alleviate our feelings of FOMO.
