  • Post-apocalyptic setting
  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Jumping and platforming

A grim survival adventure set in a dust-shrouded ruined city where limited stamina, scarce resources and risky climbing define the experience. Instead of constant gunplay it relies on bluffing with an empty weapon and tension while searching for the hero's family.

Stela

Jumping and platforming

Stela is a dark, cinematic platform adventure that guides a young woman through a collapsing, mysterious world. Chases, light puzzles and strong atmosphere tell the story almost without words.

The Final Station

Post-apocalyptic setting

An atmospheric 2D side-scroller where you ride a train through a collapsing world, scavenge stations for supplies, fight off the infected, and keep your passengers alive. The shift between tense, ammo-scarce station raids and quiet train upkeep creates a bleak, oppressive mood.

Inside

Jumping and platforming

A wordless, oppressive puzzle-platformer in which a boy slips through a bleak dystopia, controlling bodies with his mind along the way. Masterful atmosphere and a disturbing finale make it unforgettable.

Limbo

Jumping and platforming

A wordless puzzle-platformer rendered in stark black and white, following a boy through a hostile shadow world full of deadly traps learned through trial and error. Its oppressive atmosphere and minimalist art make it a haunting, memorable experience.

Hollowbody

Post-apocalyptic setting

A short tech-noir survival horror set in an abandoned British city: as smuggler Mica you search for your missing partner with scarce resources. It mixes exploration, puzzles and gunplay in the spirit of classic PS1-era horror games.

The Walking Dead

Post-apocalyptic setting

An episodic narrative adventure where Lee protects young Clementine through a zombie apocalypse, forced into agonizing timed moral decisions. The bond between the two makes it one of the most emotionally powerful games of its kind.

Resident Evil 2

Post-apocalyptic setting

The survival horror classic sends Leon and Claire through zombie-infested Raccoon City, where scarce ammo, inventory management, puzzles and fixed camera angles keep tension high. Two intertwined scenarios reward multiple playthroughs.

Post Trauma

Strong, story-driven narrative

A classic-style survival horror game with fixed camera angles reminiscent of the old Resident Evil and Silent Hill titles. As Roman you solve puzzles, explore a nightmarish world and choose whether to avoid or fight its creatures.
