Steam’s “Peak Pals Bundle” Brings Wholesome Adventures to New Heights

If you’re on the hunt for heartfelt games packed with charm, clever design, and a lot of vertical ambition, the newly launched “Peak Pals Bundle” on Steam might be just what you need.

Whether you’re a casual gamer or someone who enjoys overcoming obstacles in creative ways, this bundle feels like a love letter to those who enjoy lighter, yet rewarding gameplay experiences.

At the heart of the bundle, you’ll find Valley Peaks, an innovative climbing game that replaces sheer cliff faces with quirky radio towers perched atop idyllic mountain ranges. Players will channel their inner mountaineer as they scale these towers, upgrading their climbing tools along the way, all while uncovering this world’s small-town quirks. It’s as much about the journey as it is about the ascent, with hilarious characters and a hand-drawn art style that adds layers of personality. If you’re unfamiliar with Valley Peaks, you can check out its official website here or find it on Steam and GOG.

This two-player platformer challenges you and a partner to navigate treacherous peaks as two adorable penguins, tethered together by a length of rope. The teamwork mechanics will either strengthen your friendship or provide endless opportunities for banter as you figure out how to swing, anchor, and leap in unison. A sense of humor and patience is definitely recommended.

Rounding out the climber trio is Surmount, a physics-driven challenge that leans into a more minimalist aesthetic while delivering a major adrenaline rush. As you grapple (literally) with gravity and momentum, you’ll need precision, timing, and a touch of daring to conquer its increasingly tricky courses.

But this bundle isn’t just about scaling peaks; it also includes a trio of warm and whimsical adventures perfect for families and fans of gentler gameplay. Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley transports you to the beloved world of Tove Jansson’s Moomins, blending exploration and puzzle-solving with a gorgeous soundtrack and a nature-first ethos.

It’s a subtle feature that adds depth to the experience, reminding players to take a moment to enjoy the view (and the music) even as they push on toward the next summit.

The “Peak Pals Bundle” is available now on Steam, with each game also sold separately for those looking to pick and choose.
