To the Moon, Freebird: Release Date and Trailer

Sequels That Should Have Been: Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscurer
Nobody makes steampunk games. No one. One of fantasy literature’s most venerable settings, the magical world on the brink of industrial revolution, has produced a scant sixty one games worthy of mention on Wikipedia, and some of these are huge
