Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is an action RPG developed by Chinese developer team Dark Star Games. The game enables the player to assume the role of an amnesiac knight who travels through a dark fantasy realm in search for a way to regain his memory and find redemption. The action is presented from a third-person perspective and the gameplay focuses on exploration and combat. The battle system is highly action-based and very hard to master – it requires the player to analyze opponent’s movement and find weaknesses in their defenses. The player dies frequently, but each death is an opportunity to learn the gameplay mechanics and to have greater chances for victory during the next attempt. A unique trait is the necessity to sacrifice one of the statistics before each boss fight. Because of that, as the game progresses, the player’s character becomes weaker, instead of growing in strength like in typical role-playing games. Because of that, the player must use their own skills to make up for weaknesses of the main character.

A simple text adventure game developed by Pixelberry (a studio established by former employees of Electronic Arts) known for creating High School Story and Hollywood U. In Choices: Stories You Play, the player gets to learn diverse stories – in one case, he can be fighting for a lost throne, in another, he can become a private detective trying to catch a murderer. The player can also be a student at a school, where teenagers form life-long relationships, while others are looking for love. The gameplay revolves around reading the text describing what given characters say and making decisions – sometimes, one has to e.g. choose one of the available questions or select who is going to talk next. Player’s actions affect the story. The game is available for free, however, it features an optional microtransaction system. With real money, the player can purchase the in-game currency in the form of diamonds, which can be used to make certain decisions. Additionally, certain episodes require special serial keys.
