An online survival game developed by Free Reign Entertainment, a studio established by the creator of Infestation: Survivor Stories and Romero's Aftermath. The action of Shattered Skies takes place on Earth, devastated by a space cataclysm — the Moon was smashed to pieces by a comet, while our planet was infested with an alien life form that degraded the environment and turned people into monsters. The players assume the role of one of the few survivors, whose only choice is to fight for their lives. The threats include not only the monsters but also other participants. On the other hand, the interactions between players do not boil down to competition — we might as well cooperate or trade items. In Shattered Skies, it is essential to traverse open locations in search of food, water, and anything useful. While resting, it is best to head to a survivors’ camp or, if that’s impossible, barricade ourselves in some building, barring the windows and setting up traps.

A refreshed version of the classic action adventure game that was released in 2005. The new version was prepared by the creators of the original title, Icepick Lodge, as a side project to a complete remake of the game. The plot of Pathologic Classic HD is same as in the original game and it focuses on a mysterious virus that spreads across a small city, causing many casualties. When the authorities decide to seek out help from outside, three different characters arrive in the city and try to solve the mystery during the next twelve days. The game is story-driven and focuses on adventure aspects. What makes it different from other games is the fact that two non-playable characters are acting parallel to achieve the same objective as the player. All three characters are frequently getting in each other’s way. In contrast to the original game, the new version features refreshed, high-resolution graphics. The developers have also fixed many of the bugs of the original game and recorded a new version of dubbed dialogue sequences.

Adventure, Puzzle Elements, Singleplayer.

A narrative puzzle-adventure game referred to as „interactive fiction”, developed by the team of The Coding Monkeys, known so far mostly for the logic game Rules! and the mobile adaptations of popular board games Carcassonne and Lost Cities. Plot of One Button Travel revolves around mysterious scientific discovery, that may, in the near future, revolutionize the lives of all human beings. However, in order for this breakthrough theory to become reality, it is necessary to travel a quite long, difficult road and unravel tons of mysteries and puzzles. The gameplay itself is rather difficult to classify, and reaching the finale of the story requires players to hold a number of interactive conversations and overcome numerous obstacles in form of fairly abstract logical challenges. The game is presented in a heavily experimental form and features minimalist artwork, accompanied by atmospheric soundtrack.

Action, Arcade Elements, Shoot 'em Up, Singleplayer, Shooters, Isometric View, Free-to-play.

A mobile arcade shooter featuring endless runner mechanics, distributed in a free-to-play system with not too obtrusive microtransactions. Shooty Skies was developed by the same team that was responsible for the surprisingly well-received Crossy Road. This time, the player takes control of a character in a flying machine – at the beginning, you’re a cat in a monoplane – and shoots down enemies (including arcade cabinets, giant mouths, huge beavers, computer monitors and such) approaching from the opposite direction as long as he can. Shooty Skies is discerned by its interesting controls. The plane fires automatically, but to move it, we need to swipe our finger. Releasing the finger launches a powerful rocket attack – useful when fighting more powerful opponents – which sadly exposes us to enemy fire, which adds certain tactical depth to this small arcade game. During our run, we encounter various upgrades and items spawning allied wingmen. Shooty Skies is also distinguished by its colorful visuals, build from huge voxels.

A first-person action adventure game and an adaptation of Heroes Reborn, a science-fiction drama broadcasted on NBC. It revives the legend of the original series that aired from 2006 to 2010. The game is a prequel, taking place before events of the new mini-series and is linked with Enigma: Heroes Reborn, a game released at the same time for mobile devices. We follow a 20-year-old girl, Cassandra, who discovers her supernatural abilities, and decides to use them to solve the mystery of her past. In Gemini: Heroes Reborn we observe the game’s world through the eyes of the heroine, and the gameplay combines elements of action games with logical puzzles, obviously requiring the protagonist to use her supernatural powers. They allow us to manipulate our the environment, slow down the flow of time, or throw various objects at the attacking enemies.

A first-person adventure logic game based on the license of Heroes Reborn, a science fiction TV series and continuing its storyline. The plot is connected to the TV series as well as Heroes Reborn: Gemini. In the game, we assume the role of a 14-year-old girl named Dahlia who, having discovered her supernatural powers, is abducted and imprisoned in a secret government research facility. Our task is to help the protagonist escape. The abilities that she hasn’t quite yet discovered will prove useful in this task. Similarly to its twin production for PC and consoles, Heroes: Reborn: Enigma presents the events from the eyes of the heroine but the title doesn’t feature dynamic action sequences while the core of the gameplay is focused on logic puzzles.

Adventure, FPP, Indie Games, Meta Quest / Oculus, Action Adventure, Science Fiction, Singleplayer, Survival Horror, VR.

A first-person science fiction survival horror game developed by the independent studio Camel 101. The action of Syndrome is set on board of a vast space station where the protagonist wakes up from a cryogenic sleep and discovers that, as a result of unexplained events, part of the crew is dead and the rest have turned into bloodthirsty monsters. The hero’s goal is naturally to solve the mystery behind this situation while being hindered by numerous enemies and a myriad of other dangers. Gameplay-wise, the production is a kind of comeback to the roots of the genre, putting emphasis on claustrophobic atmosphere and the everlasting feeling of danger. The fun is focused on exploration, finding clues, and solving puzzles that let us gradually discover the story background of the entire plot. Direct combat is rare and our weapon arsenal is severely limited, just as the ammunition stock.

Standpoint is a first-person logic game developed by Unruly Attractions, inspired by the movement mechanics of Xenomorphs in Alien vs. Predator. In Standpoint, we will explore the game's location and solve logic puzzles and riddles using the aforementioned mechanics. Each surface can become the floor, and each obstacle can turn into a useful object if we just change the orientation of the scene in the right way. A mysterious narrator leads us around the rooms. As we progress, he will uncover new important facts about the compound which we are exploring and our role in the game's plot (the way it works here brings Valve's Portal to mind). The game uses Unity engine and has a rather mediocre visuals. Standpoint uses the cel-shading technology which gives the game a characteristic, comic book-like visual style.
