Road 96: Mile 0

Dark, serious atmosphere

The prequel to Road 96 tells the backstory of Zoe and Kaito in an authoritarian country. A linear, story-driven ride where music-driven sequences like rhythm and rollerblading segments express the characters' emotions.

The Way of Life

Calm and deliberate

You switch between a businessman, an old man and a child who all walk the same road, yet see very different realities. Exploring each point of view and interacting correctly with the environment is what makes the game stand out.

Kid A Mnesia Exhibition

Dark, serious atmosphere

A walkable, surreal art installation built around Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac. You wander without combat or pressure through strange spaces filled with artwork and music, making it an atmospheric experience more than a traditional game.

Awkward Dimensions Redux

Easy to pick up

You step into the dreams, thoughts and memories of another person in this short, personal dream diary. Talking roosters, floating legs and awkward jokes make for a quirky, intimate story.

The Endless Empty

Dark, serious atmosphere

You wake up as a recently deceased soul, trying to piece together a life you can barely remember while facing the fear of what comes next. The game blends a melancholic, existential mood with unexpected humor and is carried mainly by its story.

Wurroom

Calm and deliberate

Wurroom feels more like an interactive art piece than a conventional adventure. You explore strange worlds and unclaimed realities as a lost Hand, and the game costs nothing to play.

Off-Peak

Calm and deliberate

A short, atmospheric exploration game set in a cathedral-like train station where you meet strangers, find secret passages and dig for records. The original soundtrack by Archie Pelago is the centerpiece.

Whateverland

Strong, story-driven narrative

A hand-drawn point-and-click adventure set in a bizarre prison for lost souls, where puzzles and your own decisions shape how the story unfolds.

Mountain

Easy to pick up

An ambient, nearly passive art game where you watch a procedurally generated mountain slowly rotate, with music and occasional thought bubbles creating a meditative, quirky mood.
