Rabbit & Steel is a highly innovative bullet-hell game that introduces both player classes as well as MMO-esque raid mechanics to the genre, resulting in a unique and absolutely fantastic experience.

Cryptmaster’s excellent, varied word games and eclectic cast of superbly-written characters make for easily one of the most creative games of the year so far, and an experience I won’t soon forget.

I can’t emphasize enough how unique INDIKA is; it has everything that I was looking for including a thought-provoking and original storyline, mind-bending environments, and realistic visuals.

A visual novel pretending to be a management game, pretending to be a racing simulator. Its mechanics on their own feel underwhelming, but together provide a decent, yet short, narrative experience.

An extremely unique deckbuilder, which incorporates a form of 'cheating' as a key gameplay element, albeit at the cost of health. Altogether, it's quite clever and offers a solid challenge.

A return to form from Rdein- leaning more heavily into the metroidvania elements of Reverie under the moonlight. The new rune card system makes tailoring your characters fighting style fun as anything

A surreal horror-fueled walking simulator, with a dash of puzzler, and a bit of exploration. Admittedly, the sense of threat evaporates fairly early on- but the narrative was fun to explore.

It's not without a fair few growing pains, but for those in search of an entry-level soulslike with an elevated focus on story, you can't really do much better than Another Crab's Treasure.

Bigger, better, and breathtakingly beautiful. It improved upon its predecessor in every way but isn't as impactful in combining mystery and narrative with natural exploration.

An experience that steps into some difficult topics with an intriguing and well-written plot that continues to leave you speechless from the moment you start. Not for the light of heart, but worth it.
