The Day of the Devs show turned out to be very fruitful. We saw many fresh trailers of upcoming games. Several promising titles were also announced during the event.
Yesterday saw another edition of Day of the Devs, an event launched by Double Fine to promote indie games.
Much of the show was devoted to already announced projects. Among other things, we could see new trailers for the horror game Holstin, an unusual RPG Cryptmaster, immersive sim Militsioner, Thank Goodness You're Here!, cooperative Flock or Braid Anniversary Edition, a refreshed edition of one of the most important indie games in history. You can watch fresh footage of these and other titles below as part of the stream's recording.
In addition to these already well-known projects, however, several new productions were also announced at Day of the Devs.
Nirvana Noir
The adventure game announced at the show, Nirvana Noir, is a sequel to the excellent Genesis Noir from 2021. While the first part was mainly focused on storytelling, the sequel will offer much more gameplay, including playing detective during investigations.

Kind Words 2 (Lofi City Pop)
Another game that was revealed was Kind Words 2 (Lofi City Pop), which is a sequel to an unusual game from 2019, in which the fun revolves around letter writing.
