Starts a softly cyberpunk journalistic neo-noir mystery, then, some ways in, goes someplace very, very else. Be prepared for the shift and you'll do alright.

Does Dreams in the Witch House succeed at making its horror truly cosmic? I'm not sure. But did it make me OBSESS about forbidden knowledge like a true Lovecraft protag? AZATHOTH!!!

Patrol the roads and care for locals who do NOT care for you in a medieval-ish frontier where the wilds WILL tame you before you tame them. Find a home. Find harmony, Or find yourself dead.

Kinda like if Stephen King's IT and Stand By Me were the same book. Also Interview with the Vampire. And solitaire. And a rhythm game. And matchstick puzzles. Play it barefoot in the grass.

Interactive, Attenborough-esque doc about an adorable baby whale and the lifecycle of its bizarre species on an alien planet. It's cute how they grow kelp in their flesh!!!

Cyberpunk noir murder mystery where you do actual sleuthing, the case continues if you get stuff wrong, and real-time presentation makes stuff like "listening on the wire" tensely effective. It good!

Visual Novelesque. Very purple. Space opera that asks, "Can the inheritor of a galactic empire become anything OTHER than a warlord?" with no easy answers. Also hella gay (affectionate).

'Choice-based branching visual novel with resource management elements' doesn't do this beautiful and thoughtful story about life on a fractured space station justice.

I hate to write a "meets meets meets" review, but characters are limited. So: have you ever wondered "what if Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime... but also Inside?" No? Well, someone did.

You might not expect a game about collecting samples of alien lichen and fungi from an exoplanet ocean to have an intriguing, thoughtful, and superbly-told story at its heart, but this one does.
