Brings what grabs you about In Cold Blood: puzzles to figure out, a strong story and a realistic look.

An action-adventure based on the famous novel, where you play as Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu, solving riddles and either sneaking or fighting your way through. The story departs from the book in many ways.

Fear the Spotlight

Strong, story-driven narrative

A short horror adventure set in a school at night, where Vivian and Amy sneak around, solve puzzles and evade a sinister spotlight after a séance goes wrong. Its look recalls classic PS1-era horror games.

Penumbra: Overture

Realistic visuals

A first-person survival horror set in a desolate Greenland mine, where you're nearly defenseless and rely on physics-based puzzles and hiding to survive. Its oppressive atmosphere and mouse-driven object interaction define the experience.

Prison Break: The Conspiracy

Realistic visuals

As Company agent Tom Paxton you sneak through Fox River prison alongside the events of the TV show's first season. You dodge guards, complete infiltration tasks and brawl with inmates when needed.

Penumbra: Black Plague

Puzzles and brain teasers

A claustrophobic first-person horror game set in an underground research facility, where you survive through physics-based puzzles and hiding rather than weapons. Atmosphere and fear of the unknown matter far more than combat.

The Occupation

Strong, story-driven narrative

A real-time thriller set in 1987 Britain: you sneak through a government building, eavesdrop and piece together evidence while the clock keeps ticking. Your choices and time management shape how the conspiracy unfolds.

République

Pure single-player experience

You act as a remote operator hijacking the surveillance network of a totalitarian state, guiding the trapped Hope through stealth sections via cameras and hacking. A dystopian tale about surveillance told across five episodes.

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy

Strong, story-driven narrative

The finale of the Remothered trilogy is a stealth horror game in which a desperate mother tries to rescue her kidnapped child while uncovering the secrets of the creepy Red Nun. Sneaking, puzzles and a dark story take center stage.
