- New vertical city builder Stario lets you construct a tower up to the heavens - 30 September 2025
If you've never read any Ted Chiang, you should change that. Start with Stories of Your Life and Others, a collection of short stories which begins with a tale called Tower of Babylon. It follows a nation trying to reach heaven by building a tower all the way there. I won't tell you what they face or whether they succeed, but it's one of the most powerful pieces of literature I've ever read, and a hell of a way to start a writing career. However, you can get some semblance of what Chiang was going for in Stario , a new city building game released into early access that sees you attempt the very same challenge.

- Notice on Steam Cloud Save Rollback & How to Prevent It - 29 September 2025
Howdy folks!The Steam Autumn Sale is just around the corner! During the event, STARIO: Haven Tower will continue to be available at a 10% launch discount:How’s your tower-building progress coming along so far? Over the past few weeks, we’ve received a lot of feedback from you, and we’ve been steadily working on fixes and improvements to make the game better.That said, we’ve recently noticed a few cases of save data loss. After investigation, it turns out this issue mainly happens when Steam Cloud accidentally overwrites the latest local save file with an older version.Here’s a quick breakdown: normally, when you exit the game, the latest local save should sync to Steam Cloud, and Steam ensures both versions match. But sometimes, if the Steam server is unstable, the newest save may fail to upload. In that case, your local save data might be unexpectedly overwritten with an outdated Cloud…
