KartKraft
January 26, 2022
Racing, Simulation Elements, Kart Racing, Indie Games, Internet, Multiplayer, Singleplayer.
A sandbox racing game featuring MMO elements and created by Black Delta - an Australian developer. The game is an extension of a students' project called KartSim, which was initiated by Zach Griffin - both a former racer and the founder of the studio. In contrast to the majority of purely arcade karting games, KartKraft places a special emphasis on realism, and faithful recreation of the experience of real karting, including such things as effects of high speeds and various physical forces affecting karts during races, was very important for the creators. The game is a sandbox, thus the player can race without limits on different, scrupulously recreated karting tracks from all over the world. The game features an advanced system of managing both the karts owned and licensed equipment used during races. The multiplayer mode is what really livens the game up, for it allows us to compete against other players. KartKraft gives the players an opportunity to group themselves into professional racing teams as well.

Fran Bow
August 27, 2015
Adventure, 2D, Horror, Indie Games, Point-and-click, Singleplayer.
A two-dimensional point ‘n’ click adventure game that tells a terrifying story of a young girl that suffers from serious mental disorders. Fran Bow is the debut project of the two-people studio Killmonday Games and was funded thanks to a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo. In the game, we assume the role of the eponymous Fran who witnesses the brutal murder of her own parents. The traumatized girl is taken to a grim mental hospital and her task is to escape the place as well as to find her beloved cat named Mr Midnight. As befits a true adventure game, Fran Bow is focused on exploration, conversations with encountered characters, and solving logic puzzles. To beat the last listed element, we will have to use medications in an appropriate, balanced manner. On one hand, they trigger horrifying visions in the protagonist’s mind, but on the other, they open her eyes to important clues that can help us push the story forward. The game is characterized by hand-drawn two-dimensional graphics that somewhat resemble the early productions of Tim Burton. The atmospheric soundtrack harmonizes with the heavy atmosphere of the plot.

Lonewolf
January 6, 2016
Action, Puzzle Elements, Noir, Singleplayer, Shooters.
A free-to-play sniping-themed shooter created for mobile devices. Although the game uses microtransactions, it is also available as a Premium product for a specific price. The game stands out with an well-developed noir narrative told through the cutscenes. The player assumes the role of a young sniper entering the ranks of an elite organization of contract assassins known as The Assembly. Murders he commits take their toll on the mental condition of the protagonist, and he has not joined a criminal organization without a reason. The gameplay consists of eliminating targets at long distances using a sniper rifle. When taking a shot, both gravity and wind direction have to be taken into account. However, it is not enough to shoot at everything that moves - the player has to understand the relations between the positions of the guards in order to make a progress. Thus the levels resemble puzzle solving in that aspect. The gameplay is diversified with hand-to-hand combat sequences and dynamic shoot-outs. The game offers simple visuals resembling a comic strip.
