Pathologic 3

Dread and tension

As the rationalist doctor Dankovsky, you try to beat death itself in a strange town ravaged by plague. Its new twist is time manipulation, letting you revisit and alter key events across twelve days, in an oppressive, narrative-heavy blend of horror and survival.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Turn-based combat

A grim sequel where you recruit and fuse demon allies while picking a side among Law, Chaos and Neutrality in a religiously ruled dystopia. Punishing, uncompromising, and built on moral choices that decide the ending.

Dead Age

Dread and tension

A zombie survival game that blends JRPG-style turn-based combat with camp management, crafting and permadeath. You lead a group of survivors and make tough choices that shape each run.

The Banner Saga 2

Turn-based combat

A grim Norse caravan journey with turn-based tactical battles, where hard choices and scarce supplies decide who lives or dies. Saves from the first game carry over meaningfully, and the hand-drawn art style is unmistakable.

Crying Suns

Lore and world history

As a fleet commander you cross a collapsed star empire in a roguelite built around tactical, pausable space battles. Each run reveals more of a story in the vein of Dune and Foundation.

Silicon Dreams

Sci-fi setting

You play an android interrogator in 2065, coaxing secrets out of disobedient androids by playing on their emotions. Your choices decide who is spared or scrapped, and they challenge your own loyalty to your creators.
