The Flame in the Flood

Runs that play out differently every time

A raft journey down a procedurally generated river through a flooded, abandoned America, where you scavenge, craft and avoid predators. The survival struggle is backed by a moody folk soundtrack and a bold illustrated look.

Curse of the Dead Gods

Runs that play out differently every time

An isometric action roguelike where you fight through a cursed temple full of traps and monsters. Risky curses, swappable weapons and fast melee combat make every run a gamble between greed and survival.

Cairn

Lavish presentation

A survival climbing game where you can scale any rock face of Mount Kami, placing each limb yourself and carefully rationing pitons, food and stamina along your chosen route. From The Game Bakers, it pairs a striking art style with a personal story about ambition and sacrifice.

The Long Dark

Challenging difficulty

A lonely, unforgiving survival experience in the frozen Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster, where cold, hunger and wolves are your real enemies. Its painterly visuals and quiet atmosphere turn every trek into a tense, often melancholic journey.

White Knuckle

Runs that play out differently every time

A first-person speed-climbing game where precise movement and scarce resources carry you up through a menacing, decaying concrete shaft. One slip can end the run, keeping the pace and tension high.

Dome Keeper

Runs that play out differently every time

You dig beneath your dome for ore and relics, then race back to fend off waves of alien attackers. The constant tension between greedy mining and solid defense drives this atmospheric pixel-art roguelike.

Praey for the Gods

Challenging difficulty

A lone hero crosses a frozen, dying island and must take down towering god-like colossi in the vein of Shadow of the Colossus. Cold, stamina and survival pressure turn every expedition into a harsh trial.

Darkwood

Challenging difficulty

Darkwood is a bleak top-down survival horror where you scavenge a eerie, partly randomized forest by day and barricade your hideout against horrors by night. Its surreal atmosphere and deliberately cryptic story create constant dread.

Windbound

Lavish presentation

As a shipwrecked adventurer you sail between stylized islands, gather resources, craft and upgrade your boat, and survive. It blends calm exploration with survival pressure and optional permadeath-style challenge.
