Heat Signature

Runs that play out differently every time

You dock a tiny pod onto enemy spaceships and infiltrate them with improvised plans to take out guards, steal loot, or hijack the whole vessel. It thrives on pausable top-down tactics and chaotic, emergent stories.

Soul of Mask

Interconnected level design

You guide a spirit through more than 100 underworld labyrinth levels, collecting Demon eyes to escape. Five purchasable masks let you attack, hide or teleport past enemies and traps, with trial-and-error routes.

Monstrum

Runs that play out differently every time

A survival horror game on a derelict cargo ship with procedurally generated layouts. A stalking monster hunts you and death is permanent, so you must hide, outwit it and find a way out.

Dark Deception

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A first-person horror game that plays like Pac-Man in a maze: you collect shards while fleeing murderous monsters such as knife-wielding toy monkeys. The tension comes from chases, pacing and close escapes.

Kartong

Runs that play out differently every time

A quirky first-person stealth shooter set in a miniature cardboard city whose trap-filled maze changes every run. You sneak past dangerous experiments and the angry Mr Chuckles.

The Slater

Pure single-player experience

An indie stealth game where you hunt down dealers and crime bosses to avenge your father's murder. Each guard acts like a puzzle piece, so careful planning is the key to survival.

Dynamite Jack

Interconnected level design

As space marine Jack you sneak through dark mines armed with a flashlight and bombs. You blast walls and guards while solving tricky top-down stealth puzzles.

Depths of Fear: Knossos

Runs that play out differently every time

As Theseus you descend into procedurally generated labyrinths beneath Knossos, trying to evade or slay the Minotaur. First-person hiding, fleeing and desperate fights make for a tense roguelike with permadeath.
