A third-person survival horror from the independent French studio OSome, inspired by the Alone in the Dark series. White Night takes place in 1930’s, following a hero trapped in an old family mansion that hides a dark secret of the past. Our main enemy are the dark and mysterious creatures that dwell in it, forcing us to solve many puzzles based on light and dark mechanics. Using various sources of light somewhat resembles Alan Wake, with plot and storytelling inspired by works of people like Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Roman Polanski. Visuals are the most outstanding part of the game, using only black and white with many symbolic elements, referring to classic works of German expressionism.

A sequel to an independent action RPG released in 2013. The original game was popular for emphasizing its co-op mode. FORCED: Eternal Arenas was developed by the Danish studio betaDwarf Entertainment. The story is set in an inter-dimensional fantasy world, and focuses on the deadly The Rush competitions, where survival is each contestant's exclusive goal. To begin, the player has to choose one from several different character classes available - each has their own different skills. Then, the time comes to equip the character with a unique set of cards, representing equipment, spells, and helpers. The game offers a real-time experience, and the maps are randomly generated. The player has to avoid deadly traps and deal with different monsters and powerful bosses. One can either compete against other players or cooperate with them in order to complete subsequent challenges, develop the skills of our character, and unlock new cards for one's deck. In contrast to the original game, each death of the player's character is permanent.
