Ctrl Alt Ego

Sci-fi setting

In Ctrl Alt Ego you transfer your disembodied consciousness into robots and devices and use their abilities. You can either blast bots apart with tools or slip quietly into systems without leaving a trace.

Sir, You Are Being Hunted

Lots of humour

A procedurally generated survival game set on a British island where tweed-clad robot gentlemen hunt you. You sneak, scavenge supplies and fight back with makeshift weapons, all wrapped in dry British humor.

Heat Signature

Sci-fi setting

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Justice Sucks: Tactical Vacuum Action

Lots of humour

You play a murderous robot vacuum who sneaks through compact sandbox levels, hacking household devices into deadly traps. Its blend of stealth, chaotic kills and dark humor in a 90s TV look is delightfully silly.

The Escapists

Lots of humour

You live out a pixel-art prison routine of schedules, trading and crafting while plotting the perfect breakout. Outwitting guards and timetables with inventive escape plans is the heart of the game.

Retrospace

Sci-fi setting

On a space station swallowed by a black hole, you sneak or shoot your way past mutants in the corridors. Its disco-punk look, like a 70s B-movie that never existed, gives it a distinctive flavor.

Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum

Sci-fi setting

A cyberpunk immersive sim where you play a cybernetic corporate agent, mixing gunplay, time manipulation and supernatural powers, and hacking computers, people and even bullets.

Shadows of Doubt

Deep systems to master

You play a private investigator in a fully simulated neo-noir 1980s city, solving procedurally generated murder cases by piecing together clues, fingerprints and witness statements yourself. The game never holds your hand, leaving deduction, break-ins and tailing suspects up to you.

Thief II: The Metal Age

Lots to discover

Master thief Garrett sneaks through a steampunk-tinged city across large, open-ended missions full of guards, shadows and loot. Stealth is the core mechanic: light, noise and clever gadgets decide whether you succeed.
