Games from Vancouver Steam sale is happening on November 21st - 30th. The background shows an illustration of Vancouver, albeit, with a lot more strange happenings. On the left in the water, a giant mech with four legs towers over the mountains. An ominous UFO ship is hovering above Downtown Vancouver. And, just in the sea, there is a giant octopus. This is putting some needed fun in Vancouver.
The GAMES FROM VANCOUVER ๐ Steam sale goes live Nov 21-30 with over 50 discounted games!
We've partnered with @bbigames.bsky.social to present a digital showcase of talent from Greater Vancouver.
Mark your calendar to snag a great deal and discover hits you might not have known were made here!
Before Steam Next Fest ends, you should check out our friends at @goosebyte.bsky.social's demo for The Signal!
@bbigames.bsky.social has been supporting our friends at @softrains.bsky.social on Ambrosia Sky, an immersive sim where you explore a colony overrun by a strange and deadly fungal contamination!
