  • Choices with consequences
  • Lots of humour
  • Strong, story-driven narrative

As beat cop Jack Kelly you patrol 1980s Brooklyn, writing tickets, juggling time and favors, and trying to clear your name of a frame-up murder. Pixel art, dark humor and choices between honesty and corruption give it a retro cop-show flavor.

Papers, Please

Dark, serious atmosphere

As a border inspector in the fictional Eastern Bloc state of Arstotzka, you scrutinize paperwork under time pressure while balancing duty, your family's survival, and the fates of desperate travelers. A bleak, morally gripping game with many endings.

Kindergarten

Dark, serious atmosphere

A darkly comic, adventure-style nightmare school where you play a kid solving tasks, combining items, and manipulating classmates and teachers to survive the day. Quirky characters and multiple paths through each day give it its charm.

The Mailroom

Dark, serious atmosphere

A horror job simulator where you sort mail and send it through pneumatic tubes in the mailroom of a small regional branch of Hell in Modesto. The mundane office routine turns sinister as you try to uncover what is really going on and escape.

Not for Broadcast

Strong, story-driven narrative

You work the control room of a TV station in a satirical 1980s dystopia, cutting live broadcasts on the fly. Every call on what to show or censor shapes the story, mixed with dark humour and live-action footage.

Who's Lila?

Strong, story-driven narrative

A reverse detective story where you are the suspect under interrogation and control your character's facial expressions instead of picking dialogue lines. The unusual mechanic makes lying, nerves and memory gaps tangible.

Home Safety Hotline

Dark, serious atmosphere

You staff an eerie home safety hotline, using a manual to tell callers whether the things in their house are harmless or deadly. Its analog horror look and the weight of your judgments build creeping dread.
