Upcoming release

NumeNume is scheduled for October 17: hide-and-seek in a crowd of letters

Phuriko's NumeNume turns similar-looking characters into a hide-and-seek game. A hiding player controls め among wandering ぬ characters, while seekers look for visual and behavioural clues. Steam lists an October 17 release; the developer advertises up to 24 players and cross-play with mobile. The distinctive idea is turning spot-the-difference into an active contest between detection and disguise.

Planned release: October 17 · Phuriko

Meow Garden: grow cats from seeds

Tanami Games’ Meow Garden is purchasable, with October 11 shown as its release date. Plant cat seeds, water them and care for the growing cats; mature cats can be trained, used to fulfil orders or kept as companions. Its hook is giving a familiar plant–care–harvest cycle an emotional choice: sell the result, or keep it. Recipes and a collection book add reasons to return.

Also new on Steam

Two other October 11 store releases take familiar formats in different directions. 涂鸦幸存者 puts short upgrade-driven survival runs on a sheet of doodle paper. Desktop Cooking: Panda Diner places automatic cooking at the bottom of the desktop and says keyboard and mouse input boosts the chef’s speed. The former is worth following for compact visual readability; the latter for how background companionship connects to everyday work.
