A first-person RPG set in an underground fantasy world where the sun has died. It stands out for its gesture-drawn rune spellcasting, highly interactive environments and gloomy cavernous atmosphere.

Legend of Grimrock

Ultima IX: Ascension

Fantasy setting

In Fairune you explore a small retro-styled fantasy world, mixing block-style puzzles with action combat on your way to sealing an ancient evil. Its charm lies in how tightly the puzzles and fights are woven together.
