Promesa

Pure single-player experience

You explore dreamlike places in first person, shaped by memories and imaginings that grow out of a conversation between a grandfather and his grandchild. The locations feel strangely familiar, as if you had already been there.

What Remains of Edith Finch

Strong, story-driven narrative

A moving narrative game where you wander the sprawling Finch family home and relive each relative's final moments through short vignettes, each with its own inventive gameplay twist. Melancholic, creative, and unforgettable in just a couple of hours.

The Unfinished Swan

Fantasy setting

You splatter paint across a blank white world to reveal shapes and spaces as you chase a swan through a surreal storybook kingdom. A short, inventive, fairy-tale experience built on discovery rather than combat.

Gloomy Eyes

Fantasy setting

An animated VR fairy tale in a gothic storybook style, narrated by Colin Farrell: in a world where the sun refuses to rise, a zombie boy and a human girl fall in love. You experience it more as an observer than as a player.

Where the Heart Leads

Strong, story-driven narrative

You follow Whit, who descends into a dreamlike realm through a sinkhole on his farm to save his dog Casey. The game is driven by an emotional life story and a shifting, dream-like atmosphere.

The Beginner's Guide

Strong, story-driven narrative

A narrative experiment in which Davey Wreden walks you through the strange, unfinished games of a friend while narrating his own interpretations. It turns into a surprisingly personal reflection on creativity, projection and friendship.

Ghost Giant

Fantasy setting

You play a giant ghost who uses see-through hands to move furniture and objects, helping the lonely boy Louis in a small town. Light puzzles and a painterly look carry a tender story about friendship.
