Black Feather Forest
Adventure
TBA
A classic investigation point-and-click adventure game developed by Dutch artist and developer Tim Hengeveld.

The story of the title is typical for an investigation game but it was enriched with some beliefs of North American tribes. The graphics of the title have slightly cartoonish style which, however, doesn’t feel at odds with the serious tone of the game's story.

The Last Crown: Blackenrock
Adventure
TBA
Another installment of the adventure game series about ghost hunters. It was developed by the independent studio Darkling Room, the creators of the critically acclaimed Dark Fall series. The Last Crown: Blackenrock is a story spin-off which focuses on the unresolved mystery from The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure. This way, the production is a sort of a interquel of the first and the second part of the story. Nigel Danvers, the protagonist of the title’s predecessors, decides to investigate the source of the visions that haunt him. A name “Blackenrock” appears in all of them. Together with his partner, Lucy Reubans, he goes back to the seaside town of Saxton, armed in special equipment for paranormal activity detection. These devices are the biggest novelty in the game.

Similarly to its predecessors, the title features black-and-white graphics — only the most important objects use different colors.

The Diary of Arthur Gilman was created by CounterCurrent Games, studio responsible for several successful mods for the Amnesia series.

These places hold mysteries, the revealing of which is one of the most important tasks in the game. The tense atmosphere is intensified by scarce lighting and paintings inspired by Cthulhu mythology. During the game, you will have to face forces out of this world and visit alien dimensions for a number of times. The plot is revealed by reading notes found by the protagonist and by chatting with NPCs. Depending on your actions, the ending will differ. The Diary of Arthur Gilman is powered by Unreal Engine 4.
Rite of Ilk
Adventure
TBA
An adventure game with elements of the arcade, designed for fun in cooperation. At Rite of Ilk, we take control of two children heading to the top of the Ceremonial Tower to devote ourselves there to serve the gods. The cooperation is forced on them by the presence of a rope, which they are connected with - they can use it both during the exploration of exotic places, as well as in order to solve puzzles.
Routine
Adventure
TBA
A science-fiction survival horror game developed by the independent studio Lunar Software. The story focuses on discovering the causes behind the staff disappearance at the Lunar Research Station. In the game, the player travels through dark and claustrophobic chambers of the facility, gradually uncovering its secrets. The main item the player uses throughout the game is a special fixing tool which resembles a pistol. The player can modify this tool using disks which can be found around the station, thus the device can be used also as a weapon. The creators placed special emphasis on a convincing atmosphere the experience comes with, and the survival aspect of it. The latter means that the interface is minimal and each death of the protagonist is permanent. Many parts of the virtual station are randomly generated, such as different threats or the locations of NPCs. As a result, each playthrough can be completely different.
Okami Sequel

TBA
A sequel of the 2006 TPP action-adventure game which managed to attain a cult status. The director of the Okami Sequel (working title) is Hideki Kamiya who also worked on the original game. Other authors of the first Okami are also involved in the development of the second game.
