Brings what grabs you about The Unliving: runs that differ every time, melee combat with weapons or fists and a fantasy setting.

A Zelda-style action dungeon crawler with roguelike elements where you resurrect defeated enemies as allies, building a small monster army to bring back your dead companion.

Until You Fall

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A VR sword-fighting roguelike where you parry, dodge and cast magic against waves of enemies. Each death sends you back to start, while upgrades let you shape your own combat style.

Undead Horde

Strong character progression

You play a necromancer who raises a growing undead army and sweeps through the lands of the living in real time. You collect loot, upgrade your horde, and build it up over the course of a run.

Loot River

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You fight through procedurally generated labyrinths where you shift floating blocks across a river, shoving enemies into the abyss. Tough, Souls-inspired combat with dodging and parrying meets a dark roguelike loop.

Delver

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A first-person roguelike dungeon crawler with chunky pixel art: you fight through randomly generated dungeons, collect loot and potions, and hunt for the orb in the depths before probably dying.

Overture

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Overture is an action roguelike inspired by Diablo and Zelda: you fight through randomly generated dungeons, cut down hordes of enemies and gather loot before the next run begins.

Corpse Keeper

Strong character progression

You lead a squad of three undead corpses through a grim medieval cathedral, racing against the clock to build an army and slay the demon in its depths. It blends action, strategy and dungeon crawling with a punishing challenge.

20 Minutes Till Dawn

Strong character progression

A tight survivors-style roguelite where you aim and shoot manually against swelling hordes of Lovecraftian horrors. Short 20-minute runs and synergistic upgrades let you craft absurdly powerful builds.

MetaMorph

Challenging difficulty

You collect the spirits of fallen heroes and morph between their elemental powers to fight through punishing dungeons. Chaining those abilities against hordes of enemies is the core of the game.
