Awkward Dimensions Redux

Linear, curated structure

You step into the dreams, thoughts and memories of another person in this short, personal dream diary. Talking roosters, floating legs and awkward jokes make for a quirky, intimate story.

The Endless Empty

Dark, serious atmosphere

You wake up as a recently deceased soul, trying to piece together a life you can barely remember while facing the fear of what comes next. The game blends a melancholic, existential mood with unexpected humor and is carried mainly by its story.

Virginia

Strong, story-driven narrative

Virginia is a dialogue-free, cinematically edited first-person story game where a rookie FBI agent investigates a disappearance. Hard film-style cuts, a strong orchestral score and surreal dream sequences make it a short, unusual experience.

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.

The House in Fata Morgana

Dark, serious atmosphere

A gothic visual novel about a cursed mansion, spanning nearly a thousand years through interwoven chapters of tragedy, guilt, love and madness. Its strengths are its emotional storytelling, brooding atmosphere and strong soundtrack.

Love, Sam

Accessible and relaxed

You find a diary on your desk and slip into its story about a high school crush and small-town romance. The game is a quiet, melancholic narrative that gradually reveals a darker undertone beneath its surface.
