An adventure game developed by the British Inertia Software studio, classified as a representative of the "escape the room" sub-genre. The game is set in the eponymous Facility 47 - a secret research facility located in the Antarctic. The game's protagonist wakes up in a cell having no clue about neither his own identity nor the actions that led him there. His task is to escape, first the cell, then the facility, and survive. The greatest threat are the exceptionally low temperatures that force him to act quick if he is to keep himself alive. The exploration in Facility 47 is limited to a bare minimum and the majority of the game's locations are closed, confined spaces where the player has to find a way to remove obstacles and/or open locked door. In order to do so, the player needs to carefully search every location he visits, hoping to find some useful items, and solve numerous logic puzzles.

Rescue 2: Everyday Heroes
June 28, 2019, End of Life
Simulation, Strategic Elements, Singleplayer, Fire Department.
The second installment of the Rescue series, developed by Fragment Production, a Finnish studio responsible for the previous installment, as well as Roadside Assistance Simulator. When it comes to mechanics, Rescue 2: Everyday Heroes is a strategy game that attempts to simulate typical assignments of firefighters. Our job is to coordinate the units, choose the equipment, employ new firefighters, or exchange vehicles between individual departments. In case of dealing with fire, we need to remember about choosing the right extinguishing agents, finding water sources, and aiming the water stream at the right locations. The game contains a story campaign, but we can also respond to daily assignments. Rescue 2: Everyday Heroes uses up-to-date three-dimensional graphics, but the quality is decent at best.

Wanderer (Red Cloak Games)
June 28, 2019, End of Life
Adventure, 2D, RPG Elements, Indie Games, Platformers, Action Adventure, Science Fiction, Singleplayer.
A science fiction action adventure game and the debut production of Red Cloak Games. The plot of Wanderer takes us into a distant future and tells the story of a convict named Rook who wakes from a cryogenic sleep inside an orbital space station to discover that the entire installation has been destroyed and abandoned by humans, turning it into a deadly place. Rook sets out to look for sections where there can still be people but, as it will soon turn out, not all of them are friendly. The ultimate goal of the protagonist is to find a way to escape the dangerous place. Thanks to the non-linear plot that offers moral choices, how the objective is achieved depends on the player to a large extent. The game combines elements of various genres, such as platformer exploration, point ‘n’ click-style puzzle solving, and turn-based combat similar to that of classical RPGs.

June 28, 2019, End of Life
Puzzle, Fantasy, Internet, Card Games, Multiplayer, Online, Singleplayer, Free-to-play.
A mobile fantasy card game developed by the creators of PC MMORPG Mabinogi from 2004. The game's story refers to its online original and is set in a fairytale world divided into three continents inhabited by humans, elves, and giants. In terms of gameplay, the title is very much like Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, focusing on fighting subsequent battles with personally built deck of cards symbolizing characters, items, spells, etc. Mabinogi Duel features two basic modes of entertainment. The first is an extensive and constantly expanded single-player campaign in which we traverse subsequent lands, taking part in duels with numerous local warlords and a bit more challenging bosses. For people preferring living opponents there is a PvP Arena mode, where we can fight against other players from around the world and exchange cards.

Football Manager Mobile 2016
June 28, 2019, End of Life
Sports, Manager, Football Manager, Football, Singleplayer.
Another mobile edition of one of the most popular football management simulators series developed by Sports Interactive. Compared to the full-fledged installments in the franchise, Football Manager Mobile 2016 offers somewhat simplified gameplay, although it has many more features than Football Manager Touch 2016, also for mobile devices, which was released simultaneously. The trade-off is that the database is limited to the 14 most important world leagues. The gameplay itself does not deviate from the standard solutions of the series – in the game, we have to select a proper squad for each match, decide on player transfers, set training plans, as well as take care of the club’s budget and our employees’ and supporters’ satisfaction. Compared to its predecessors, the production was enriched with a number of novelties and enhancements, particularly an improved interface, new tactical instructions, and an extensive training module.

Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion
June 28, 2019, End of Life
RPG, 2D, Beat 'em Up, Fantasy, Indie Games, jRPG, Side-scroll, Singleplayer, PlayStation Exclusive.
A side-scrolling jRPG with strong elements of classic beat'em up. Fallen Legion was developed by an American studio YummyYummyTummy. The game came out for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita; the two versions differ mainly in terms of story. Fallen Legion is set in a fantasy world and the player is taken to the Kingdom of Fenumia, which falls from glory due to the king's premature death. His daughter (the protagonist in the PS4 version), tries to cope with the problem and goes on a long and dangerous journey in order to bring peace and safety to her subjects. This is obviously noticed by Legatus Laendur (the protagonist in the PSV version), who's lust for power makes him try to take control of Fenumia in her absence. The core of the experience is constituted by fighting enemies in a real-time combat system. The key to success is to make a good use of the individual abilities of the controlled characters, apart from being able to skillfully combine attacks of the entire team into complex combos; however, having quick reflexes is also needed. Furthermore, the player has to make more and less important decisions many times - those influence the course of the story and what the game world looks like. All of this is complemented by eye-pleasing, hand-painted 2D visuals.
