An enormously deep open-source survival roguelike in a post-apocalyptic New England where you juggle hunger, illness and zombies, build vehicles and shelters, and carve out your own goals with no fixed objective.

Project Zomboid

An unforgiving zombie survival sandbox where you loot, build, craft and train skills until your inevitable death. Its deep simulation and highly customisable rules turn every run into a personal survival story, solo or with friends.

Kenshi

A party of several characters

Kenshi is a brutal sandbox RPG set in a vast, harsh wasteland where you decide whether to become a trader, mercenary, slave or warlord. Instead of a scripted story, you build your squad, base and reputation in a world that gives you nothing for free.

Trespasser

Realistic visuals

As Anne you survive a plane crash on a dinosaur island and look for a way out with no HUD. Famous for its experimental physics-based controls, which bring unusual immersion and plenty of frustration.

Realistic visuals

You are a test subject trying to escape an SCP Foundation facility while escaped anomalies like the statue SCP-173 hunt you. Blinking as a mechanic, randomly generated corridors and constant dread make for a tense, scary experience.
