A programming puzzle game where you use a simple command language to direct whole swarms of office workers in parallel. Wry humor and steadily rising complexity reward clever, efficient thinking.

Bad Rats

Linear, curated structure

A physics puzzle game where rats take revenge on cats: you use objects and your trained rat helpers to build creative, often darkly comic chain reactions that take down the cat. Slapstick humor and score chasing encourage replaying levels.

Big Pharma

Linear, curated structure

A factory-optimization business sim where you design production lines for drugs, tune ingredients and layouts, and balance efficacy, side effects and profit. A wry, distinctive art style accompanies the satisfying puzzle-like tinkering.

Bridge Constructor Portal

Linear, curated structure

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.

Death Coming

Puzzles and brain teasers

A darkly comic puzzle game where you play Death and engineer elaborate, Final Destination-style accidents to harvest souls. You also have to outwit the Agents of Light who try to stop you in small sandbox levels.

World of Goo

Puzzles and brain teasers

A physics-based construction puzzler where you build wobbly towers and bridges out of living goo balls to guide them to an exit pipe. Its quirky, darkly funny Burton-esque style, satirical tale about consumerism and technology, and wonderful soundtrack make it a modern indie classic.

I Expect You to Die

Linear, curated structure

As a secret agent in classic Bond-movie style, you solve tricky VR puzzles in deadly scenarios by grabbing, combining and manipulating objects. Dry humor and a stylish retro-spy atmosphere set it apart.
