An unusual RPG with crime story traits. The title was developed by White Owls – a studio founded by Hidetaka Suehiro, the creator of Deadly Premonition and D4.

Naomi also becomes able to transform into a cat and she decides to use this opportunity to solve the mystery. One of the attractions of the game is a direct line drawn between two parts – during the day the player is a human, they interact with other citizens, and during the night they become a cat and gain access to previously inaccessible paths. Similarly to the previously mentioned Deadly Premonition, the NPCs in The Good Life have their own day and night activities and stick to their plans. The unusual gameplay mechanics are accompanied by the graphics – two-dimensional visuals feature cartoonish, slightly angular style.

Developed by the Russian studio Cheerleaders, Distrust is an unusual, isometric survival horror, which mingles reality with hallucinations. The player assumes control of two survivors, who got stuck near an abandoned base in the arctic, as a result of a helicopter crash.

The player's goal is to save the characters, but in order to achieve this, it is necessary to obtain food and find warm shelter. Sleeping involves taking a risk, however, as the beast can attack, and on the other hand, lack of sleep will result in hallucinations, so one needs to balance their actions appropriately. Distrust utilizes the Unity 3D engine; as befits a survival horror, the game comes with a dense atmosphere that can terrify the player. The story is conveyed through animated and voiced-over cut-scenes.

Top Gear: Road Trip
October 30, 2020, End of Life
Puzzle, Match-3, Cars, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A mobile logic game developed by the Finnish developer Motorious Entertainment. As the title suggests, the game is based on the popular TV show – Top Gear, aired by BBC Britain. In Top Gear: Road Trip, the player gets to travel across Great Britain, France, Italy, and other regions of Europe. During the game, one not only visits the aforementioned territories but also participates in multiple races, acquires new cars, and completes tasks based on the challenges from the TV show. When playing the game, the player has access to two separate parts of the screen – on the first one, they observe the action from the inside of a car, which allows them to control the situation on the track and quickly react to anything that might happen (the driving mechanics are typical for match-3 games). The bottom part of the screen is populated with colorful symbols, which the players have to manipulate in order to create combinations of 3 pieces in the same color. Such sequences influence the movement of the driven car. What is worth mentioning, particular tracks can be completed multiple times in order to beat one’s best scores, as well as those set by players from all around the world.
