A minimalist first-person shooter where every gun action is manual: ejecting the magazine, loading rounds one by one, cocking the hammer. Randomized levels and scattered tapes tell a dark story in fragments, while turrets and drones punish every mistake.

Alien Trilogy

Sci-fi setting

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Zero Tolerance

Challenging difficulty

An early first-person shooter in which you clear an alien-infested space station room by room. You pick from a team of five characters with different strengths, and a fallen character is lost for good.

Sector

A simple, old-school indie shooter where you play the scientist Dimitri fighting infected creatures after a failed biological experiment. Light puzzle and survival tasks break up the combat in a hostile research facility.

Crusader: No Remorse

An isometric sci-fi action shooter where you play a defecting Silencer taking down a corrupt world government with heavy weapons, destructible environments, and tricky traps and puzzles.

Empty Shell

Action-packed real-time combat

A top-down survival horror roguelite set in a secret facility on a Japanese island. Scarce resources, a grim industrial mood and randomized runs keep the tension high.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Action-packed real-time combat

A film tie-in action game where you play as different characters, including a raptor and a T-Rex, fighting and evading dinosaurs through jungle levels with a mix of shooting and platforming.
