Empty Shell

Dark, serious atmosphere

A top-down survival horror roguelite set in a secret facility on a Japanese island. Scarce resources, a grim industrial mood and randomized runs keep the tension high.

Post Void

Runs that play out differently every time

An extremely fast, psychedelic first-person shooter built around short roguelike runs where speed and reflexes are everything. Constant killing keeps you alive while its stark, trippy visuals pull you into a flow state.

Zero Tolerance

Resources and survival

An early first-person shooter in which you clear an alien-infested space station room by room. You pick from a team of five characters with different strengths, and a fallen character is lost for good.

No Such Place

Resources and survival

A top-down extraction shooter where you run reconnaissance missions for a mysterious research consortium, eliminate unknown threats, and make it to the evacuation point alive.

Alien Trilogy

Sci-fi setting

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Doom 3

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim first-person shooter set on a Mars research base where hell breaks loose. Cramped, pitch-black corridors, jump scares and scarce resources make it feel more like survival horror than the fast-paced classic Doom.

Returnal

Runs that play out differently every time

As a stranded astronaut caught in a time loop, you fight across a constantly shifting alien planet. Frantic bullet-hell shooting and a dark, enigmatic story make every run intense and punishing.

Heavy Bullets

Runs that play out differently every time

A tight neon-drenched roguelike first-person shooter where you only have six bullets that you must pick up again after firing. Careful movement and smart ammo management decide whether you survive.

Casualties: Unknown

Runs that play out differently every time

A brutal pixel-art survival simulator where you play an expendable test subject exploring the layered caves of an alien planet and enduring hostile environments. Bleak tone, high difficulty and meaningful choices define each descent.
