This War of Mine

Sneaking and hiding

Instead of soldiers, you guide a group of civilians through a besieged city, maintaining your shelter by day and scavenging dangerous ruins by night. Harsh moral dilemmas between survival and humanity make it a haunting, unforgettable experience.

Escape Dead Island

Post-apocalyptic setting

A zombie adventure set in the Dead Island universe, where journalist Cliff Calo investigates the outbreak's origins on a island, mixing melee combat, stealth and unsettling hallucinations. Its comic-style cel-shaded look and blurred line between reality and madness give it a distinct flavor.

Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days

Post-apocalyptic setting

Guide a band of survivors through a zombie-ravaged 1980s Texas city, scavenging, crafting and sneaking from refuge to refuge. Resource management and decisions about your group keep the pressure constant.

The Final Station

Strong, story-driven narrative

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.

Shelter

Lavish presentation

As a mother badger you guide your cubs through a beautifully painted yet dangerous wilderness, feeding them and shielding them from birds of prey, fire and rivers. A short, wordless experience where every lost cub hits surprisingly hard.

Tokyo Jungle

Distinctive, stylised art style

You play as animals in an abandoned, nature-reclaimed Tokyo, fighting to eat, survive and breed as predator or prey. Over 50 playable species, a roguelike-style survival mode and quirky humor make it unique.

Chernobylite

Lavish presentation

A bleak survival horror adventure set in a photogrammetry-recreated Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where a physicist hunts for his vanished fiancée. You scavenge zones, build up a base, recruit companions and plan toward a final heist, with choices you can even rewrite reshaping the story.

The Long Dark

Lavish presentation

A lonely, unforgiving survival experience in the frozen Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster, where cold, hunger and wolves are your real enemies. Its painterly visuals and quiet atmosphere turn every trek into a tense, often melancholic journey.

Thief

Lavish presentation

As master thief Garrett, you sneak through a grim, plague-ridden city in first person, looting mansions from the shadows rather than fighting openly. The reboot of the classic series leans on moody atmosphere and multiple routes through its missions, though it feels more linear than its predecessors.
