Sally Face

Strong, story-driven narrative

An episodic point-and-click adventure about a boy with a prosthetic face who investigates a murder series and supernatural secrets in a gloomy apartment building. Its distinctive comic-like low-poly look, 90s atmosphere and emotional story set it apart.

Horses

Dark, serious atmosphere

In Horses you play a summer farmhand caring for the animals on an isolated farm, and each day brings new unsettling discoveries. Its appeal lies in the unnerving atmosphere and in how the ordinary routine slowly peels back into a surreal mystery.

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.
