Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

Jumping and platforming

You swing gracefully through the jungle canopy as a gibbon in a short, emotional tale of family, loss and habitat destruction. The fluid brachiation movement is the highlight, paired with a clear environmental message.

RiME

Lavish presentation

A wordless, beautifully stylized adventure where a boy explores a mysterious island and solves environmental puzzles. The meaning of the journey only reveals itself near the end, as a moving story about grief and loss.

Hue

Jumping and platforming

A minimalist puzzle platformer where you change the background colour of the world to make obstacles vanish and open new paths. The search for the protagonist's missing mother provides a quiet, simple story.

Unravel

Lavish presentation

A wistful puzzle-platformer where you guide Yarny, a tiny creature made of yarn, through lifelike Scandinavian landscapes, using his unraveling thread to swing, build bridges and solve physics puzzles. Its wordless tale of memory, family and loss is carried by a gorgeous folk soundtrack.

Journey

Lavish presentation

A wordless, meditative pilgrimage across shimmering dunes toward a distant mountain, where you may meet anonymous strangers online and communicate only through chimes. Short, breathtakingly beautiful and carried by an award-winning score that hits hard emotionally.

Shady Part of Me

Lavish presentation

An atmospheric puzzle-platformer where you switch between a girl and her shadow, using light and shadow to escape a dreamlike world. Its painterly look and emotional story carry the experience.
