A stick-figure Wild West packed with slapstick and absurd gags, where simple turn-based fights and creative quest solutions carry you through a quirky desert world. Humor fills nearly every dialogue and choice.

Griftlands

Choices with consequences

A deckbuilding roguelike set in a shabby sci-fi world where you both fight and negotiate using separate card decks. Three distinct character campaigns and meaningful choices make each run play out differently.

Cardpocalypse

Distinctive, stylised art style

A humorous 90s-style school-days card game where you collect and trade cards, then duel in matches where the rules can shift. A charming story about friendship and school life ties it together.

Hylics 2

Distinctive, stylised art style

A surreal indie RPG with a handmade clay-and-collage look, where Wayne and his crew fight in turn-based battles and use a dodge-roll and air-dash to find hidden secrets. Its absurd humor and strange soundtrack make it unmistakable.

Undertale

Choices with consequences

A charming indie RPG where every fight can be resolved without violence, blending turn-based menus with bullet-hell dodging. Its quirky humor, memorable monsters and a story that remembers your choices made it a cult classic.

South Park: The Stick of Truth

Distinctive, stylised art style

A turn-based RPG that looks exactly like a playable South Park episode: as the new kid in town you join Cartman and friends in a backyard fantasy war that spirals wildly out of control. Timed attack inputs and crude, irreverent humor define the experience.

In Stars and Time

Choices with consequences

A time-loop RPG where you relive the same journey again and again, using what you learn each cycle to solve puzzles and change your party's fate. Its emotional story and clever rock-paper-scissors-style turn-based combat are the heart of the experience.

Undertale Yellow

Choices with consequences

A polished fan-made prequel to Undertale in which you play a cowboy-hat-wearing kid with a gun traveling through the monsters' Underground. It features bullet-dodging combat, quirky humor, an emotional story, and choices that shape the ending.

Cryptmaster

Distinctive, stylised art style

A quirky dungeon crawler where you type or speak words to trigger abilities, solve riddles and play odd mini-games. Its undead narrator and wordplay-driven humor make it stand out.

Hylics

Distinctive, stylised art style
