Theropods
Though never offering much challenge, Theropods is a creatively designed and beautifully realized adventure through a gorgeous fantasy world of humans, dinosaurs, and aliens that you’ll wish you had more opportunity to enjoy.
Though not as groundbreaking as its predecessor, and with a gameplay mechanic that never quite justifies its prominence, Crushed In Time is still a funny, entertaining and wonderfully produced adventure through the bowels of game development alongside lovable cartoon versions of Holmes and Watson.
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo manages to be spooky, poignant, funny, clever, and suspenseful all at once, and plays with expectations in ways that will both challenge your assumptions and make you question, over and over again, how much you really know about anything.
CARIMARA: Beneath the forlorn limbs is an attention-grabbing introduction to a strange and original fantasy world that features an engaging spin on the detective genre, but our time there is so brief that it’s hard to come away fully satisfied.
Station to Station is as worthy a follow-up to the brilliant original Perfect Tides as anyone could have hoped, continuing Mara’s story with the same insight, compassion and immersive writing while deepening and expanding its narrative through interesting new mechanics.
Centum
Centum is full of memorably horrific imagery and atmosphere, but enjoying them means putting up with uneven writing, poor design choices, and a truckload of obscurity for obscurity’s sake.
Selfloss
Sailing through the Slavic- and Icelandic-influenced world of Selfloss is often a breathtaking sensory experience, but unengaging puzzles, buggy features and an ill-conceived final twist mean its pleasures are largely limited.
While Slay the Princess comes in a deceptively simple package, it contains what feels like a whole universe of horror, humor and humanity; it takes the visual novel format and pushes it as far as it will go, with a story that changes and adapts to every decision you make...
Roadwarden
Roadwarden is a highly compelling, vividly realized text-based expedition into a dynamic fantasy setting, with a deep and layered story that allows players to experience as much or as little as they choose while deciding what kind of role they want to play in its deceptively vast world.
Pentiment
Pentiment is a captivating Renaissance adventure that challenges players to unravel both a murder mystery and the many enigmas of history.
