Chernobylite

Post-apocalyptic setting

A bleak survival horror adventure set in a photogrammetry-recreated Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, where a physicist hunts for his vanished fiancée. You scavenge zones, build up a base, recruit companions and plan toward a final heist, with choices you can even rewrite reshaping the story.

Frostpunk

Post-apocalyptic setting

Lead the last city on a frozen, steam-powered Earth, juggling heat, coal and food while signing laws that test your morals. A bleak, tense city-builder where survival constantly clashes with humanity.

The Long Dark

Emotional impact

A lonely, unforgiving survival experience in the frozen Canadian wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster, where cold, hunger and wolves are your real enemies. Its painterly visuals and quiet atmosphere turn every trek into a tense, often melancholic journey.

Frostpunk 2

Post-apocalyptic setting

A society-management strategy game in a frozen world where you lead a growing city through factional politics, moral dilemmas and scarce resources. Every decision about laws and expansion has tangible consequences for your people.

No, I'm Not A Human

Post-apocalyptic setting

You are holed up at home while a disaster reshapes the world, and you must decide whom to let in each night, since not every visitor is human. A tense game of observation, paranoia and consequential decisions.

The Final Station

Emotional impact

An atmospheric 2D side-scroller where you ride a train through a collapsing world, scavenge stations for supplies, fight off the infected, and keep your passengers alive. The shift between tense, ammo-scarce station raids and quiet train upkeep creates a bleak, oppressive mood.
