Brings what grabs you about Painted Memories: lots to discover, a pure single-player experience and a focus on a single character.

Aquaria is an underwater Metroidvania where you swim as Naija through a vast, mysterious ocean, using song and transformations to unlock new abilities. Atmospheric exploration and a fully voiced story are the heart of the game.

Animal Well

Focus on a single character

A dense, interconnected pixel-art labyrinth packed with secrets, where a handful of tools unlock clever puzzles. Its cute look hides an eerie atmosphere, and the deepest mysteries reward real puzzle-solving and curiosity.

Tomb Raider

Focus on a single character

The classic that made Lara Croft famous: precise grid-based jumping and climbing through vast, lonely tombs, mixed with lever puzzles and gunfights against wild animals and mythical creatures. The quiet, eerie atmosphere of ancient ruins defines the experience.

Anodyne

Focus on a single character

A surreal, Zelda-inspired pixel-art adventure where you roam the dreamlike subconscious of Young. Odd dungeons, bosses and strange places create a moody, cryptic and melancholic experience.

Shadow of the Colossus

Lots to discover

A lone rider roams a desolate, haunting land to climb and topple sixteen towering colossi, each fight a living puzzle to scale. Minimalist storytelling, vast silence and a bittersweet ending make it a landmark of games as art.

Tunic

Lots to discover

A tiny fox explores a mysterious Zelda-like world with demanding, Souls-inspired combat. Its true heart is a scattered in-game manual written in an unknown script, whose pages gradually reveal layered secrets and brain-bending puzzles.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Lots to discover

Link travels through time, conquers clever dungeons and confronts Ganondorf in one of the most influential 3D adventures ever made. It blends exploration, puzzles and lock-on sword combat with an unforgettable musical score.

Alundra

Lots to discover

A Zelda-style 2D action adventure in which you play the dreamwalker Alundra, entering villagers' nightmares. Tough dungeon puzzles and a surprisingly dark story set it apart.
