  • Choices with consequences
  • A party of several characters

An isometric sci-fi post-apocalyptic CRPG in the spirit of the late-90s classics, set in a sealed-off zone full of artifacts from a vanished civilization. Turn-based combat, character building and meaningful decisions define the experience.

NEO Scavenger

Challenging difficulty

A brutal survival game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland around Detroit, where you manage hunger, thirst, cold and injuries while uncovering the mystery of who you are. Text-driven encounters, crafting and tough choices make every run unpredictable.

A party of several characters

A merciless horror RPG with turn-based combat where you scrape by on scarce resources in the cursed town of Prehevil, trying to uncover its dark secrets within three days. Brutal, oppressive and full of deadly decisions.
