Shelter 2

Adventure, Simulation Elements, FPP, Indie Games, Singleplayer, Survival, Animals.
The second installment in a unique simulation game series, developed by an independent studio, Might and Delight. In contrast to the first installment, in which we played as a female badger, Shelter 2 gives us an opportunity to play as a pregnant female lynx. The game recreates the life of the species in its natural habitat. During the gameplay, the player has to ensure adequate conditions for the development of their offspring. One has to find a den, gather food and protect the offspring against natural threats. The gameplay is more complex this time, because different new elements were introduced, such as the stamina meter. Since the traits possessed by a lynx are different to those of a badgers, the gameplay mechanics are slightly different. Similarly to the first game, Shelter 2 greatly emphasizes the survival aspects and the bonds between the lynx and its offspring. The original "patchwork" graphics, based on somewhat old-fashioned vector models, were not changed.

The new version is powered by Unreal Engine 4, which translates into incomparably better graphics, prettier locations, and more detailed character models. It also offers a cooperation mode.

Besides, there is always one of a cast of heroes present on the battlefield, who supports your actions and keeps killing approaching enemies. As you play you earn points that you can spend on new defense structures or upgrade the existing ones. As for graphics, Deathtrap works on the same engine that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing used, and thus looks much like the sformentioned game.

Alone With You
September 11, 2015, End of Life
Adventure, 2D, Indie Games, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
An SF adventure game developed by Benjamin Rivers – the creators of the horror game Home. In Alone With You the player assumes the role of a colonist who is a lone survivor of a catastrophe that befell his base on an alien planet that will be completely destroyed in the span of a single month. You cannot leave the planet as the only spaceship available is broken and the hero has neither knowledge nor abilities to make it work again. However, the advanced AI of the base is there to help – it suggests reconstructing other deceased colonists and making use of their knowledge in order to remove the obstacles. The gameplay has all the typical characteristics of the adventure games genre – your main objective is to explore and solve puzzles. The key ingredient of the game is a system of player-NPC relations that determines other characters' attitude towards the main hero and the way the scenario develops. Similarly to the aforementioned Home, the production features old-school pixel art graphics.
