Brings what grabs you about Shadwen: sneaking and hiding, jumping and platforming as well as tactical depth.

An elegant 2D stealth game where you play a ninja who either silently assassinates guards or slips past as an unseen ghost. Clear visibility rules, fluid animation and a striking comic-style look turn each area into a tactical puzzle.

Mark of the Ninja

Tactical depth

A brilliant 2D stealth platformer that visualizes sight, sound and light so clearly that every infiltration becomes a precise puzzle of timing and planning. Klei's hand-drawn art and multiple approaches, lethal or pacifist, make it a genre classic.

Little Nightmares II

Lavish presentation

A creepy puzzle-platformer where little Mono and his companion Six sneak through a grotesque, dollhouse-like nightmare world. It tells its story without words and builds tension through tense chase sequences and environmental puzzles.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Puzzles and brain teasers

A remake of the classic Abe's Oddysee in which you play Abe, an enslaved Mudokon sneaking and puzzling through a sinister meat factory, rescuing fellow workers via the GameSpeak system. Dark humor and a quirky world define the precise 2.5D platforming.

Wildfire

Puzzles and brain teasers

A stealth-puzzle adventure where you wield fire, water and earth to outwit superstitious soldiers and free captured villagers. The malleable environment turns each sneaking section into a small experiment.

Oddworld: Soulstorm

Puzzles and brain teasers

As the reluctant hero Abe, you lead a Mudokon uprising through a dark yet quirky platformer of sneaking, puzzling and rescuing. Its blend of stealth, mass rescues and black humor sets it apart.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

Puzzles and brain teasers

A quirky puzzle-platformer where Abe sneaks, possesses enemies and uses GameSpeak to rescue enslaved Mudokons. Dark humor and an odd industrial dystopia meet unforgiving, trial-and-error puzzles.
