Sci-fi setting

As Zoe, you sneak and fight your way through a hostile underground facility ruled by AIs, accompanied only by your drone Koby. It blends stealth, action and exploration in a bleak sci-fi atmosphere.

Hail to the Rainbow

Puzzles and brain teasers

A gloomy, story-driven adventure set in a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world, where you guide the lonely Ignat through puzzles and uncover the secrets of the chaos around him. I know little about the game's details, so this rating relies mostly on the metadata.

Metro Awakening VR

Dark, serious atmosphere

A VR trip into the bleak post-apocalyptic Moscow metro, where you sneak, fight and scavenge with a gas mask, flashlight and scarce supplies. The story of a doctor searching for his wife feels especially intense thanks to VR immersion.

Echo

Sci-fi setting

Echo has you play En exploring a lavish, otherworldly palace that learns from your behavior and turns it against you through copies of herself. Habits like sprinting or shooting get adopted by enemies, making stealth a clever cat-and-mouse game.

Routine

Dark, serious atmosphere

A tense first-person horror trek through an abandoned lunar base styled after an 80s vision of the future, where you dodge hostile machines with a clunky tool while uncovering what happened to the crew. With almost no HUD, it relies on atmosphere, sound design and dread.

A blood-soaked horror thriller where you play a kidnapped surgeon in an underwater facility, dying and looping again and again to uncover the truth behind a parasitic horror.

Soma

Strong, story-driven narrative
