Amid a sea of captivating Steam Next Fest demos, I've ended up finding peace in a blue and green-tinged life sim that has me building up a reef and ensuring it thrives – a wholesome little gem called Turquoise.
If you haven't seen Turquoise yet, it's one of those games that catches your eye immediately thanks to its oddly vibrant color scheme. While the colors grabbed my attention initially, it's the cozy core gameplay loop that's kept me hooked. It has all the calming, quiet open water vibes of survival titles like Subnautica, without any of the more horror-aligned adrenaline boosts. You're given an environment to decorate and shape – it's entirely chill.
