This was a news-packed week, so first we whip through the big reveals of the Nintendo Direct, and flick through the demo pile at Steam Next Fest, including some new indie games to get excited about. Then, our featured review – a short and sweet rhythm game called Melatonin, that combines pastel colours, soft line art, and lo-fi beats into a dreamy vapourwave experience. You tap and combo your way through the mundane dreams of a sleep-deprived protagonist, and you’re left feeling relaxed, focussed, and optimistic. It slipped out in December, and went a little under the radar – but don't sleep on it!

Also: a big thank you to podcast DovetailTrue, who made an amazing Steam curator page with all the games ever recommended on the podcast, with GOTY sections for the best games of the last few years.
