Brings what grabs you about Gain: sneaking and hiding, runs that differ every time as well as a demanding difficulty.

You're hunted by Baldi through a parody of cheap edutainment schools, collecting notebooks without getting caught. Quirky items and procedural levels blend stealth, roguelike play and goofy retro horror.

Dynamite Jack

Linear, curated structure

As space marine Jack you sneak through dark mines armed with a flashlight and bombs. You blast walls and guards while solving tricky top-down stealth puzzles.

Heat Signature

Sneaking and hiding

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Monstrum

Sneaking and hiding

A survival horror game on a derelict cargo ship with procedurally generated layouts. A stalking monster hunts you and death is permanent, so you must hide, outwit it and find a way out.

Soul of Mask

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

You guide a spirit through more than 100 underworld labyrinth levels, collecting Demon eyes to escape. Five purchasable masks let you attack, hide or teleport past enemies and traps, with trial-and-error routes.

Depths of Fear: Knossos

Sneaking and hiding

As Theseus you descend into procedurally generated labyrinths beneath Knossos, trying to evade or slay the Minotaur. First-person hiding, fleeing and desperate fights make for a tense roguelike with permadeath.

The Slater

Pure single-player experience

An indie stealth game where you hunt down dealers and crime bosses to avenge your father's murder. Each guard acts like a puzzle piece, so careful planning is the key to survival.

Not the Robots

Pure single-player experience

You play a robot in an office building who eats furniture, which doubles as your stealth cover, while avoiding detection. Random levels and permadeath make it a quirky roguelike stealth parody.

Kartong

Sneaking and hiding

A quirky first-person stealth shooter set in a miniature cardboard city whose trap-filled maze changes every run. You sneak past dangerous experiments and the angry Mr Chuckles.
