Quantum Replica is a cyberpunk stealth game with metroidvania elements developed by a small Colombian studio ON3D. The game is set in a distant future where people live in enormous metropolises and their lives are completely controlled by the government. Our protagonist is an exception of that rule. Not only he doesn’t remember who he actually is and what is he supposed to do, but he is also not registered, making him the most wanted person in the city. The only way to regain his memory and find his purpose is to deal with all adversities and get into the heart of the metropolis. Quantum Replica is a stealth game where action is presented from an isometric point of view. Unlike in other similar games, we do not use the game's environment to hide. Instead, we use our hero's time manipulation abilities. He can sneak unseen, move through walls, and catch enemies in ‘time bubbles’. As we progress, we gain access to more powerful abilities that come in handy when facing bosses.

Action, Episodic, FPP, Horror, Indie Games, Action Adventure, Singleplayer, Stealth, Survival Horror.
A first-person perspective action psychological survival horror game. It is the first game developed by an independent Indian studio Method to Madness. In Dear Charlotte the player assumes the role of a man who once was a patient of an impoverished research facility. When an outbreak of a mysterious virus takes place in the facility, he is saved by dr Kremlin, a psychically unstable man who seems to be responsible for the situation. In order to survive and solve the dark mysteries of the place, the protagonist must choose between listening to the advice of a madman and listening to his own subconscious and senses. Instead of focusing on combat and fighting hordes of enemies, the game is about atmosphere and stealth. The player cannot use any weapons and the only way to survive is to hide and escape. However, dr. Kremlin, amnesia, and gradually increasing madness of the protagonist make it harder with each passing moment.
Tooth and Tail
September 12, 2017
Strategy, 2D, Internet, Multiplayer, Splitscreen, RTS, Singleplayer, Isometric View.
An arcade real-time strategy game by Pocketwatch Games, featuring old-school pixel art visuals. The action of Tooth and Tail takes place during an animal revolution, modeled to the conflicts of the turn of 19th and 20th century, where several factions comprised of different animal species fight to the death. Gameplay mechanics resemble classic RTS productions—their foundations lay in resource gathering, base building, and tactical combat. In the game, however, we can not issue direct orders to individual units. Instead, we assume control of their commander, who moves throughout the battlefield with a banner in his hand. His task is to designate places in which buildings will be built and show his subordinates their targets. Since we control just one character, the controls of Tooth and Tail resemble a typical action game rather than strategy, and most processes were adequately automated so that the player can focus on pure fun.

The protagonist, however, is not helpless and alone – accompanied by Masamba, a constantly-hungry lioness, he commands the Power of the Words, his basic weapon. Gameplay consists of exploring locations and jumping on platforms. Solving puzzles and fighting enemies play the key roles in the title – both aspects require stepping on the right stones with words carved in them. For example, a stone with “water” written on it, neutralizes a fire trap, while closed doors are opened by a stone with the word “key”. The title features loads of black humor and unusual, monochromatic visuals with the sepia effect.
