If you enjoy games that involve investigation and really make you think, I definitely recommend playing Return of the Obra Dinn—you’ll love it. The game takes about eight to twelve hours to complete. You can look forward to a perfectly written story that you’ll definitely enjoy. I also can’t forget to mention the book, which, in my opinion, is both very helpful and beautifully designed.

Martha is Dead does full justice to the psychological horror genre, offering a truly immersive experience. You’ll definitely find innovative storytelling here, with a determination to push boundaries—though this game is definitely not for the faint of heart. It features beautifully crafted environments and a perfect soundtrack that enhances the dark atmosphere. The player constantly balances between reality and Giulia’s dark thoughts. But you’ll have to find out for yourself which way the scales tip.

Hidden Deep is already a great game, even though it’s still in early access. It has a terrifying atmosphere, paired with music that keeps you on edge the whole time. The physics in the game are fantastic, though I have to admit that in most cases I ended up killing myself—I didn’t even need the aliens to do it. I’m looking forward to seeing what surprises the game has in store for us once it’s fully completed.

Source of Madness may still be in early access, but I’m really enjoying it nonetheless. I like that it always presents a new challenge in the form of new monsters and different environments. Personally, I’m really looking forward to the next acts, which I hope will be released as soon as possible. If you’re a fan of Lovecraft, you definitely shouldn’t miss this game—it has a lot of potential.

Knock on the Coffin Lid is a charming, hand-drawn card game that I really enjoy. Once you unlock the second character, Bjorn, the game becomes even more tactical and entertaining. I definitely recommend giving this game a try, even if you’re not a fan of card games. The game really has a lot to offer—from its artwork and story to the brutal and relentless boss battles.

Arboria is a very captivating game featuring ugly trolls. After a few rounds, however, you get so used to them that they actually start to seem kind of cute. The game has its own unique sense of humor—perhaps a bit too vulgar for some players at times—but I enjoyed it. I had fun constantly exploring the dungeon, which is full of interesting enemies.

The game is in pre-alpha, but even so, it offers an intriguing experience in a fresh, unexplored, dark open world. A major draw of this game is the character of the young Jaga, her abilities, and the moral system. Although the game has main quests, it happily lets you roam around and explore the surroundings. The game definitely has great potential, and I hope it maintains its quality until the official release.

Button City definitely has its own atmosphere and charm, thanks to its characters and setting. The game’s main issue lies in its mini-games, which hold it back a bit. That said, players are sure to experience some enjoyable moments, and you’ll definitely feel good about having saved the passage.

Wonhon certainly offers an interesting take on paranormal stealth action, but the game features repetitive—and, after a while, boring—locations. I did appreciate, however, that the game highlights important social issues related to the cruelty of war. What I enjoyed most was taking out the enemies. So if you like stealth games, you should definitely give Wonhon a try.

Existing fans of the series will enjoy another well-written and beautifully presented adventure that once again showcases Freebird’s signature wit and humor amidst more emotionally charged moments. And even though the story focuses solely on Quincy and Lynri, you’ll come to understand them much better than you’d expect over the course of three to four hours of gameplay.

I really liked Hokko Life because its design makes it a very enjoyable game to play. However, it’s hard to overlook the strong similarities to Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Stardew Valley. The aspects where they differ, such as crafting, don’t work as well or are downright frustrating. Otherwise, the game is a pleasant, relaxing experience. I’m already looking forward to what it has in store for us in the future.

Twin Mirror is a game that has a lot to say about small towns, mental health, and the value of truth over popularity. If you’re a fan of narrative-driven adventure games, you should definitely check this one out. However, if you expect it to be on par with Life is Strange or Vampyr, you might be a little disappointed.

In my opinion, the best parts of the game definitely take place at night with Nicolas. If you like horror games, *The Beast Inside* is perfect for you. It’s sure to give you more than a few heart-stopping moments. Every player will also appreciate that they can decide their own fate.

Ageless stands very well in the ever-growing genre of heavy platformers. It owes this to a great variety of new elements and unique story aspects. The graphical style uses color in a beautiful way and brings the world of Ageless to life. This game thus remains a fun and stimulating experience for any fan of challenging platformers.

Stygian is a game with a well-written story based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Players get a perfectly crafted title. The game is aimed more at players who enjoy horror classics and traditional RPGs, rather than the younger set. If you decide to give it a try, a unique experience awaits you.

The Shapeshifting Detective is certainly an unusual game, which means it won't appeal to everyone. It focuses much more on conversation and characters than puzzle solving. The clever use of multiple identities to reveal new bits of information brings satisfaction in itself. Between the excellent acting performances, additional set pieces, and tonal background music, you'll enjoy the game from start to finish.
