Brings what grabs you about Renoir: puzzles to figure out, jumping and platforming as well as a dark atmosphere.

An atmospheric puzzle platformer where you bend gravity and the environment while a terminally ill protagonist works through grief, anger and acceptance. The puzzles are tightly woven into its emotional story.

Papo & Yo

Jumping and platforming

A poetic puzzle platformer in which a boy navigates a dreamlike favela alongside a monster who stands in for his father's addiction. The puzzles and the personal, autobiographical story are tightly intertwined.

Spate

Dark, serious atmosphere

An atmospheric puzzle-platformer in which a grieving, alcohol-struggling detective investigates a missing persons case on mysterious islands while battling his own descent into madness.

Contrast

Strong, story-driven narrative

You play a character who shifts between a 3D world and a 2D shadow plane to solve puzzles. Its surreal 1920s film noir and vaudeville atmosphere and jazz score give it a distinctive mood.

Nihilumbra

Jumping and platforming

An atmospheric puzzle-platformer in which you guide Born as he flees the Void, painting the terrain with colours that make surfaces slippery, sticky or bouncy. Each world adds a new colour and fresh puzzles.

Monochroma

Jumping and platforming

An atmospheric puzzle platformer set in a bleak, monochrome industrial world with striking red accents. Two brothers work through clever physical puzzles, with carrying the younger sibling shaping how challenges are solved.

Klaus

Distinctive, stylised art style

You wake up as an office worker with no memory in a basement and must escape a mechanical, constructivist world. The game is built around clever puzzles and a distinctive, minimalist visual style.

Typoman

Jumping and platforming

A dark 2D puzzle platformer where you form words from letters to reshape the environment and get past obstacles. Its surreal, stark visual style and word-based mechanic set it apart.

Unheard

Strong, story-driven narrative

As a time-traveling detective who can only rely on sound, you eavesdrop on conversations at past crime scenes and piece together the timeline of each case yourself. An unusual, audio-driven mystery with non-linear storytelling.
