Dialogue and role-playing

An interactive globe-trotting story set in an alternate Victorian era, where you play Phileas Fogg's valet, planning routes, managing money and making text-based choices across hundreds of cities and encounters. Every run plays out differently, and the writing is sharp, diverse and critical of colonialism.

Pathologic 3

Resources and survival

As the rationalist doctor Dankovsky, you try to beat death itself in a strange town ravaged by plague. Its new twist is time manipulation, letting you revisit and alter key events across twelve days, in an oppressive, narrative-heavy blend of horror and survival.

The Void

Dread and tension

A surreal, unsettling first-person nightmare from Ice-Pick Lodge where Color is your life force, your weapon and your currency all at once. Surviving means carefully hoarding and spending it, and choosing which Sisters to nurture. The result is a punishing but singular exercise in resource strategy.

Chernobylite
