Lore and world history

An uncompromising CRPG inspired by the fall of Rome, set in a low-magic world where dialogue, skills and decisions open up multiple ways through each quest. Turn-based combat is lethal, and your build and choices reshape the story dramatically.

Lore and world history

You lead a trading caravan through a realm abandoned by its gods and ruined by an arcane cataclysm. Trade, logistics, text-heavy decisions and turn-based fights blend into a bleak mix of strategy and RPG.

Torment: Tides of Numenera

Lore and world history

A text-heavy RPG set in the strange far-future world of Numenera, serving as a spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment and probing questions of identity and mortality. Conversations and choices matter far more than the rare turn-based combat.

Look Outside

You are trapped in your apartment building while the world outside breaks down, fighting mutated neighbors in turn-based combat. Ammo, supplies and your sanity must be carefully managed in a dense pixel-art horror atmosphere.

A punishing turn-based roguelike where you drive a fragile band of heroes across a cursed land by stagecoach. Stress, afflictions and party relationships are as dangerous as the monsters.

World of Horror

Dread and tension

A 1-bit horror roguelite steeped in Junji Ito and Lovecraft, where you investigate randomized cosmic mysteries in a doomed coastal town. Turn-based fights, fragile sanity and harsh choices make every run tense and different.

A loving Fallout-style successor set in a Soviet wasteland, with turn-based combat, open-ended character builds and plenty of meaningful choices, all laced with dark humor and Eastern European flavor.

Lore and world history

The finale of the Norse-inspired saga pairs tough turn-based tactical battles with a bleak, hand-drawn tale of a world ending. Every choice about supplies, allies and sacrifices noticeably shapes the fate of your caravan.

Dialogue and role-playing

A classic turn-based party RPG set in a nuclear-ravaged desert, where you lead a squad of Desert Rangers and your decisions noticeably reshape the regions you visit. Tactical combat and a wide skill system give it depth.
