I’d play all the fake games Valve made up for the Steam Summer SaleWell, almost all

Well, almost all

An old man with glowing eyes gurns at the viewer next to a game name, “Hold In Your Farts."

HEYYY the Steam Summer Sale has concluded, so I can finally share all of the fake game art I got to make for it! 😎👍🏼The idea for this sale was to design a bunch of relatively convincing key art to hide in the Steam storefront, all of which were a little weird on second glance:pic.twitter.com/iMQPT83yi5— Claire Hummel (@shoomlah)July 7, 2022

“Erik Wolpaw and Jay Pinkerton came up with the names/descriptions for Clorthax’s fake games, and then I just tried to match their energy in the final art. Super fun trying to make plausibly polished logos in a whole bunch of different styles/genres,” writes Hummels in the thread linked above. Clicking through will take you to the artwork for all ten.

My favourite of the bunch is The Consecration Of Esthme, which just looks perfectly like a game I would have reviewed in around 2012. It’s also the only game of the ten I absolutely would not play today.
