Octodad

Bright, upbeat tone

You play an octopus in a suit passing as a human dad, wrestling with everyday chores using floppy tentacles. The deliberately clumsy controls create chaotic slapstick comedy.

What the Golf?

Calm and deliberate

A gloriously silly physics-based golf parody where every level introduces a new surprising twist on the sport. Constant gags and absurd ideas make it ideal for people who don't like golf.

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude

Bright, upbeat tone

A crude, irreverent campus comedy in which you play Larry's nephew Larry Lovage, chasing romance through minigames and dialogue. Its appeal lies in over-the-top humor and a mix of adventure and minigame challenges.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog

Strong, story-driven narrative

A humorous murder-mystery visual novel with point-and-click elements: at Amy's birthday murder party on a train, Sonic becomes the victim, and the investigation takes an unexpectedly sinister turn. It thrives on fan service, parody and whodunit guessing.

I Expect You to Die

Calm and deliberate

As a secret agent in classic Bond-movie style, you solve tricky VR puzzles in deadly scenarios by grabbing, combining and manipulating objects. Dry humor and a stylish retro-spy atmosphere set it apart.

Very Very Valet

Bright, upbeat tone

You guide a team of puppet valets, up to four players at once, through absurd parking chaos. The real fun is the messy couch co-op, where you can either rescue each other or deliberately send friends flying.
