not sure
playing it so far there is a cling noise that plays when you are attacking things
and nightmares have a chance of spawning whenever you murder something

Thank you, More_Badass! Anybody who would give away Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet for free is truly badass. Thank you. 
I was just on itch.io and I just downloaded Dude, Stop. Complete short mini-games in one of two ways: as a "good guy" who follows the rules of the game and puts his Lego pieces away like a decent human being, or a "complete monster" who breaks the rules of the game and leaves Lego pieces on the floor like a total dick. It's good for a chuckle. I'd love to see more levels added to this.

I am hearing rumors that the Fall Steam Sale is this weekend, hoping the info is correct
I saw the preview on RPS and tried Cryptark. It's pretty great. Far more interesting than Alientrap's last game, Apotheon. It's polished as hell for Early Access too.

I really like CRYPTARK as well, from all the games I bought recently -a reason why I haven't gave it the time it deserves-, it could my favorite right now, followed closely by Bit.Trip Runner 2 and Environmental Station Alpha.

Sorry, cant recall the exact place, did a CCleaner wipe and cant get there anymore. But I hope they were right, 3 days to find out

Hell yeah, and I've been playing that a fair bit lately. Got back into it these last few days after someone on the steam thread mentioned that if you get in deep with the crime cartels they eventually start warping in to help you in space battles. Being a serving member of a space crime family is basically a life goal of mine

So it's a good game? Haven't really followed it or read any reviews

It's a good game with a few flaws, a real 7/10. It does show its two man team roots with the disappointingly small limits to the world they have created but what is there is very well crafted and a lot of fun to bop around in. Once you get out of the learner pool galaxy and into the main game itself the combat gets real strong with a lot of weapon choices for you ship builds and lovely meaty capital ship on capital ship action. Also, you can space ram which is pretty great.
You are. I know the timing and it's not this weekend.
Kumoon was released yesterday. It's physics-based puzzle shooter with laid-back atmosphere and gameplay, and some interesting level designs.
Kumoon - 7.99 (PC, Mac)
Full disclosure: I'm one of the developers, so I don't wan't to oversell the product.
That said, of course we'd love to have as much player feedback as possible, so we're giving away 20 Steam Keys to anyone interested. PM me if you want one.

Kumoon is a Ballistic Physics Puzzle game, where you are a little robot with important mission: Knock all the cubes over! Estimate your shots' trajectories and use ricochet shots to score enough points in each level. There's some challenge to be had, but overall Kumoon is a game that won't stress you out.

Might be time for me to finally get into Invisible Inc, it is getting its first expansion out tomorrow which should hopefully mean a deep sale on the base game. Can't wait.

What's the consensus on Axiom Verge? Will probably pick it up while it's on sale
Really nice and polished Metroid clone. One of the few attempts to get it right.

Deathstate is amazing.

It's great. A very skilled rebuild of the Metroid gameplay in 2015. Although it does subvert a little bit, on a whole it is very loyal to the open world exploration formula, warts and all. Which means the game is a lot of random exportation with a lack of hand holding so getting lost is in the running. To what degree that will annoy is up to you really, but it is something to be aware of before you buy.
The Great Whale Road has appeared on NeoGAF once or twice, but this week we - Sunburned Games - have officially announced that we are working on it.

Dascu's a dev. He knows what he's talking about.I hope I am right
But a telltale sign for an upcoming sale is when the Weeklong Deals and such end on Thursday rather than the end of the week. The Steam Machine sale is extending through the weekend, so there's definitely no Fall Sale happening this week

Thats a much much better explanation. Thanks. "You are wrong", just like that, without anything else is harsh for me. Thanks for the clarification. Now that I have more info, I get it. He could just said that in that way first.

That actually looks really cool. I'll keep an eye on your Twitter for when you are starting the kickstarter. Also, it is impossible for me to track my family back that far but from what I know it is more then likely I have a fair bit of Anglo-Saxon blood in me so thanks for repping them as one of your cultures.

Recently played the enhanced edition of Mind: Path to Thalamus and so far so good. Never got around to playing the original due to a huge backlog but it seems pretty okay for a puzzle game. Relaxing and nothing too stressful. It supports VR now too which looks like would be fun.

Been meaning to do another playthrough to see how well the developers responded to criticism. The dialog was a bit of a mess, the final act of the script and last playable area weren't very good, but overall I did appreciate what they tried to do. It just needed another pass for polish, so hopefully they used this extra time to give it exactly what it needed.

From what I've read it seems like a lot of the graphics and little nuances have been redone with VR in mind, so certain effects have been removed and added to best support it. Saw a few complaints in this regard but without playing the original I won't be able to tell what haha.

Always had my eye on this one for a while, Klei doesnt seem to do sales often -50% is the biggest sale the game ever had- and I need something unique after I finish the mightly awesome FallOut 4.
One Foul Note

I picked that up in the sale too, Put less then an hour in thus far but fairly impressed with it so far. Although I did fail my first mission because I couldn't find the specific terminal I had to hack and retrieve data from, I stood my agents in front of every computer-like object in the level and nothing gave me a 'hack' prompt or anything like that. A little odd but hopefully it was just my stupidity missing something obvious rather then the game messing up.
Heyho! Congratulations on the new role.

Congrats on both! ... Seems like a dream job! ...Frost runs into FallOut 4.... my new addiction... love it. Only buidling Sanctuary for now, I can have 50 people but only 5 atm. Need to bring everybody in and restore humanity. lol.
Great! We are going one further and representing them as the separate groups they were. We are starting with the Northumbrians (I am to blame ... too much Bernard Cornwell - The Last Kingdom series). But there plenty of interesting other ones - Mercians, Angles, Jutes, West and East Saxons for us to add over time.
We have done a sneak combat preview: https://youtu.be/WuswwiPvhu0

Thanks guys! It's not nailed down or anything yet, I need to sort out some stuff obviously so I suspect it won't be until next year but it's pretty exciting.
I've set my laptop's delivery to work so I really hope it arrives today - if not it's gonna turn up tomorrow and no-one will be here to sign for it
