As the captain of a steamship, you sail the dark underground sea of Fallen London, juggling fuel, supplies and your fraying sanity. It thrives on grim, literary storytelling, discovery and the constant risk of death.

Dread Delusion

Choices with consequences

A dark open-world RPG with a deliberately retro low-poly look, set on floating continents. Strange locations, occult secrets and world-changing choices reward free-form exploration.

Dead Static Drive

Dark, serious atmosphere

A road-bound horror survival adventure where the world collapses around you, and your choices and friendships decide whether you fight, hole up, sneak, or drive away in a stolen car.

Dishonored

Dark, serious atmosphere

As a supernatural assassin, you sneak or fight through the plague-ridden whaling city of Dunwall. Open-ended levels and combinable powers allow many approaches, and how much chaos you cause shapes the ending.

We Happy Few

Dark, serious atmosphere

A darkly satirical survival-stealth adventure set in a retrofuturistic 1960s England where everyone numbs themselves with the happiness drug Joy. Blend in or be hunted as three protagonists uncover the grim truth behind the garish, cheerful facade.

Pathologic 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

As the rationalist doctor Dankovsky, you try to beat death itself in a strange town ravaged by plague. Its new twist is time manipulation, letting you revisit and alter key events across twelve days, in an oppressive, narrative-heavy blend of horror and survival.

Drova: Forsaken Kin

Choices with consequences

A pixel-art action RPG in the spirit of classic old-school role-playing games, featuring an open world to roam freely, rival factions and meaningful decisions. Exploration and character growth take center stage, with fairly challenging combat.

Seven: The Days Long Gone

Choices with consequences

As master thief Teriel, you sneak, climb and fight across the prison island of Peh in an isometric view, in a blend of fantasy and science fiction. Parkour-style exploration, stealth and choices about helping or exploiting the islanders are central.

Dishonored 2

Strong, story-driven narrative

A first-person immersive sim where you play Emily or Corvo, using supernatural powers to sneak or fight through intricately layered levels. Standout missions like the Clockwork Mansion and a chaos system that reacts to your playstyle make every approach feel meaningful.

Pathologic 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

As the healer Artemy Burakh, you struggle through a plague-ridden steppe town against hunger, relentless time pressure and scarce resources. Every decision leaves lasting consequences, and the bleak, surreal narrative never lets you rest.
