The Red Lantern

Choices with consequences

You lead a team of five sled dogs through the Alaskan wilderness, facing randomized events where resources and decisions determine whether you survive and make it home. You can hunt aggressively or play it cautiously.

Sunless Sea

Choices with consequences

As the captain of a steamship, you sail the dark underground sea of Fallen London, juggling fuel, supplies and your fraying sanity. It thrives on grim, literary storytelling, discovery and the constant risk of death.

80 Days

Choices with consequences

An interactive globe-trotting story set in an alternate Victorian era, where you play Phileas Fogg's valet, planning routes, managing money and making text-based choices across hundreds of cities and encounters. Every run plays out differently, and the writing is sharp, diverse and critical of colonialism.

Cloudpunk

Strong, story-driven narrative

You play delivery driver Rania over one night in a rain-soaked, voxel-built neon megacity, picking up many small and large stories along the way. The focus is on atmosphere, dialogue and narrative rather than combat.

Absolute Drift

A minimalist top-down drifting game with a clean, graphic look, focused purely on precise car control and fluid slides. You chase high scores and medals in challenges like Driftkhana and mountain drift runs.

Need for Speed: Unbound

Driving or flying

Arcade street racing in Lakeshore City with a bold graffiti-comic look, police chases and a risk-reward loop where you gamble your winnings across the week leading to the big finale. Cars and style are highly customizable, backed by an energetic hip-hop soundtrack.

Wheels of Aurelia

Choices with consequences

A short narrative road trip through 1970s Italy: as Lella you drive along the Via Aurelia and have conversations that steer you toward one of sixteen endings. Each run lasts about fifteen minutes and invites replaying.

OutDrive

Driving or flying

OutDrive is an endless neon racer in a retrowave setting, where synthwave tracks drive your car forward. The engine literally keeps a woman's heart beating, so every mile you survive is a race against time.

Pacific Drive

Driving or flying

You drive a car you repair and upgrade into a supernaturally warped exclusion zone in the Pacific Northwest, scavenging resources before returning to your garage. The car becomes your companion and main survival tool, while each run uncovers more of the zone's mystery.
