RimWorld

Sandbox with your own goals

A colony sim where an AI storyteller turns raids, famines and your settlers' personal dramas into unique, often darkly funny emergent stories. Its deep simulation and per-colonist management make every run unpredictable.

Oxygen Not Included

Sandbox with your own goals

A deep colony sim inside an asteroid where you keep your Duplicants alive by managing oxygen, heat, food and waste through interlocking physics-like systems. Spectacular failures are part of the fun, often with dark humor.

Prison Architect

Sandbox with your own goals

A deep construction and management sim where you design a prison from scratch, hire staff and keep inmates from rioting or escaping. Its cute, simple art style contrasts with darkly humorous takes on serious themes like violence and the death penalty.

Dungeon Keeper

Deep systems to master

You play an evil dungeon overlord, digging out rooms, attracting monsters and fending off invading heroes. Its dark humor and blend of base management with real-time strategy make this classic stand out.

Dwarf Fortress

Sandbox with your own goals

An immensely deep simulation where you build and manage a dwarven fortress or roam a procedurally generated, persistent world as an adventurer. Its interlocking systems produce chaotic, memorable stories, though the learning curve is notoriously steep.

Evil Genius

Deep systems to master

As a supervillain you build a secret island lair, train minions and scheme for world domination in a 1960s spy-movie style while fending off secret agents. Satirical humor and a retro espionage look define its charm.

MachiaVillain

Lots of humour

You run a haunted mansion as an evil manager: build rooms, raise monsters, set traps and slay victims according to classic horror movie rules. A tongue-in-cheek blend of Dungeon Keeper and Prison Architect.
