  • Puzzles and brain teasers
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Linear, curated structure

A stealth puzzle game where you scrub through time like a media player to slip past guards. You guide a girl with precognitive powers and her cat, planning each escape step by step.

Crossniq+

Gameplay comes before story

Crossniq+ is a fast arcade puzzler where you slide tiles on a grid to build same-colored rows and columns. Tiles wrap around the edges, so every move demands careful planning and quick thinking.

Quadrilateral Cowboy

Sci-fi setting

You plan and execute heists as a hacker in a retro cyberpunk world, typing commands on a chunky in-game laptop and using gadgets to outwit security systems. Its quirky low-poly style and hands-on, tactile interface make it stand out.

Deus Ex GO

Sci-fi setting

A turn-based infiltration puzzler in the Deus Ex universe: as Adam Jensen you move across board-like levels, hack systems and take out guards with augmentations. It is compact, stylish and ideal for short, clever brain-teasing sessions.

Gunpoint

Pure single-player experience

A stealth puzzler where you play a spy who rewires buildings with the Crosslink to outwit guards. A short, wry noir story with dry humor ties the heists together.

Semispheres

Pure single-player experience

You control two characters at once in two linked parallel worlds, solving tricky puzzles that demand both coordination and clever thinking. Each side affects the other, so you constantly have to rethink your approach.

Intelligent Qube

Gameplay comes before story

A tense real-time puzzler where you clear rolling cubes on a floating platform by marking and deactivating spots, without being crushed. Minimalist design and rising time pressure create a distinctive blend of planning and speed.

Q.U.B.E.

Sci-fi setting

A first-person puzzle game set in a minimalist world of white cubes, where special gloves let you manipulate coloured blocks. The puzzles rely on physics, timing and spatial thinking.

Sentinel

Gameplay comes before story

A tower defense game played on a sequencer-style grid where every defense you place and every enemy you destroy shapes the music in real time. Strategy and sound blend across 31 levels.

Bridge Constructor Portal

Sci-fi setting

A clever blend of bridge-building physics puzzles and the Portal universe: you build structures so vehicles can cross Aperture Science test chambers, using portals, gels and turrets along the way. GLaDOS adds her signature dry humor.
