Had quite a few games there on my wishlist. So I just bought them all.

Raunis, Lempo, Kaamos, Deep Sky Derelicts, Legend of Grimrock, Without a Dawn, Heal and Tesla vs Lovecraft.

Now to accidentally spend hours trying to choose which one to play first tonight, before ending up playing nothing as I have to go to bed.

My small game Cold Transit is also featured for 3€ if anyone is interested :) It's a Scotland Yard inspired turn-based game with both single and multiplayer and features Helsinki among other cities

Some games in my (a gamer who has been playing video games for almost 40 years) steam library catagory "Made in Finland", in alphabet order: (Note that I may skip some most famous games like Alan Wake, Control, Barotrauma, Max Payne or Trine):

Baba Is You: Also famous. The game is a "sokoban", but you can manipulate rules. You are BABA. The flag is win. You touch flag -- what if every noun in this sentence can be manipulated?

Conquest Dark: Imagine a Diablo 2, but you can choose any race, skill, weapon and make your own build. It looks simple but there are almost infinite possibilities to build your character, which is fun.

Crayon Physics Deluxe: You should have played, or at least known it. The game is also in Tampere's game museum. Simple and fun.

Crimsonland: the best game you can put in a flash drive in 2004. I owed the dev a copy.

Cruelty Squad: Oh, the beloved one. It's a cult. It's a first personal shooting but with countless hidden information and a whole enterprise-managing simulator.

Distraint 1 & 2: 1 is pretty depressing and disturbing so I couldn't start 2. However the author makes some very interesting games that worths a try.

Druidstone: The Secret of the Menhir Forest: A turn-based tactical RPG, with sadistic difficulty. The game has a pretty good balance on everything (graphic, story, system, etc.), but with sadistic difficulty.

Fear and Hunger 1 & 2: A dungeon crawler, with sadistic difficulty (again?). It is famous for its darkness and disturbing details. Definitely worths a try if you like this type, or even you don't like this type like me.

Legend of Grimrock 1 & 2: If you have heard of something like "Tomb of Varn" or "Castle Darkmoor" or "Castle Alamos", you should check this game. The whole game is a huuuuge old-schooled dungeon, which awaits you. Oh by the way it's developed by the team of Druidstone.

My Summer Car: I don't think I should introduce this game, or this sadistical (what's wrong with you people) "life simulator". Just do it. It's fun.

Noita: THE ALL MIGHTY NOITA. If you want to see what would happen if you add the "you can manipulate every rules" of BABA and "you can play with every pixel" of Crayon Physics, well, the authors already did. It's Noita. Just buy it, ask no question.

Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas: It's a Finnish Zelda! Short, fun, worths its price.

Pools: The best liminal space walker so far.

Road to Vostok: Hardcore survivor game. Developed by only one person. Guns have real-life stats.

Skábma™ - Snowfall: The first game fully voiced in Sámi language.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley: If you like Moomin and want a light hearted adventure, this game is for you.

Splittown: A point-and-click game. A loveletter to Sam & Max and Day of Tentacles. You can find many many quotes and tributes. This is the game I want to have as a point-and-click game enthusiast. Almost half of the game is hidden behind details. Remember you can play Maniac Mansion on a computer in Day of Tentacles? You will have a surprise in Splittown.

Tuoni: A turn-based, rogue like RPG. It's still in playtest but you can find the dev has many interesting ideas.

Ultrakill: A hardcore, old-schooled FPS. It was once the most top-rated game on Steam and I can say it deserves this position.

Unemployment Simulator 2018: Well, it's... realistic. Fits the economy!

UnReal World: THE hardcore rogue like survival. It has been keeping updating from 1992.

Versebound: A roguelike survival in Kalevala's world. A bit difficult for me but fun.

Voltage High Society: A metroidvania first personal ... fisting. Yeah you punch everything. The atomsphere is pretty on-spot.

Solid list, but Snufkin is made by a Norwegian development studio.

Pushing boxes to particular positions in a warehouse.

u/SwordLaker 2d ago

Not as well-known, but ZeroRanger and Void Stranger are both indie cult classics.

u/BikeSilent7347 2d ago

As a rule I buy any game where Finnish language is included.

Shame that this event is bit hidden in steam. Took me 5 minutes to find it.

u/AChubbyHorse 2d ago

My game's also featured in this event.

Free demo just released on Steam.

u/Anvaya Väinämöinen 2d ago

Hi I played the demo. It’s fun and relaxing. Some animals spawn under the UI or too close to farms so it’s a bit difficult to find.

u/DrawingAlarming7350 Väinämöinen 2d ago

why would anyone downvote constructive criticism

u/AChubbyHorse 1d ago

Thank you ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡. You can scroll the mouse wheel to zoom out like this. But yeah, I might add a "Hide UI" button later.

u/UnculturedGames 2d ago

Great event! My 100% positive rated retro JRPG Whispers in the Moss is also featured if anyone's interested. :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1944310/Whispers_in_the_Moss/

u/Omgbbqkittens 1d ago

Shame Last Drop doesn't seem to be included in the sale, unless my Steam is fcking up lol. Lohkare Games is my local indie studio and the game absolutely captures the scene lmao

u/JizzDaPit 1d ago

Their decision to have all the dialogue in english kinda ruins the atmosphere of the game sadly...

u/ChemicalPresent8796 18h ago

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3023670/Evacuation_Zone_Tampere/ For us having Finnish dialogue killed its American audience :D

u/JizzDaPit 16h ago

Why not just set your games in Kalamazoo or Bristol then?

u/Renkku95 1d ago

Hi! The deput game of Runoi Games from Oulu, Fortune Fragments is taking part in the event! The game is on sale, and we're live streaming with the devs on Steam every day. Today we're live at 15:00 (UTC+3). Don't worry if you miss the live, the vod will be playing afterwards!

u/OneEnvironmental9467 1d ago

Awesome, thanks for letting us know!

u/ChemicalPresent8796 18h ago

Since everyone is shamelessly dropping their Finnish games here, I guess we should too

We’re a small studio from Tampere and have made a slightly ridiculous collection over the years — Evacuation Zone: Tampere, Benderman VR, FISTAGON, Outrageous Grounds, Kleptomaniacs and a bunch of other experiments.

Some are serious. Some probably should never have been made.

No discounts, they are cheap and we burned our 2 month of space between discounts on autumn sale.

u/ConcubineGame 18h ago edited 18h ago

Hey everyone! We're also part of Finnish Games Week with our first game, Concubine! 🎮

We're Upgrade Entertainment, a small indie studio in Helsinki. We moved here from Turkey 2.5 years ago and started our company in 2024. It's been quite a journey! 😅

We'll also be at the in-person event next week, so fellow devs, come say hi if you spot our Upgrade Entertainment T-shirts! 😄

Our game is a dark fantasy hack & slash ARPG, if you'd like to check it out:
