An original strategy game with RPG elements, taking place in a unique dieselpunk universe of 1920+, created by a Polish concept artist Jakub Rozalski. The game portrays an alternative history of Europe at the turn of the 19th century, in which humanity used their knowledge and means to build powerful walking machines, used not only in battle but also e.g. in agriculture. Thus the gameplay features not only the cavalry, airplanes and prototype tanks, but also rather primitive and awkward mechs, seemingly not of this age. At the same time, the game is firmly grounded in Polish history and references important events such as the Battle of Warsaw.

A continuation of the popular Sunless Sea developed by Failbetter Games. This time around, the action of the game is set not in the depths of an underground ocean but in the mysterious cosmic space known as “The High Wilderness”, which Queen Victoria wanted to use as a foundation for the New British Empire. The main protagonist of this story is an outcast, who objects the rule of the iron fist imposed by the Queen. During the game, a player observes the action from the top-down perspective. Gameplay revolves around exploring new locations, gathering supplies, fighting encountered enemies, and maintaining more or less friendly relationships with diverse groupings inhabiting the vast space. Similarly to the previous installment, in Sunless Skies a player has to mind his decisions, as even a small mistake might lead to the mission’s end and the death of the main protagonist. Player’s actions affect the direction of the story. Additionally, all the visited locations are procedurally generated – this makes each playthrough different and filled with diverse challenges.

A role-playing game by the independent Russian studio MONO, set in a steampunk world. The story takes place in a huge, partially abandoned space station, which has served as a shelter for a humanoid race called the Nomans. Years ago, they were forced to leave their home planet. The players take on the roles of the station's inhabitants, recently woken from hibernation, and have to complete a series of quests, mostly consisting of fighting enemies in real time. By exploring locations, which are dynamically generated in part, you need to watch your basic vitals, such as hunger, exposure, fatigue, oxygen level or sustained injuries. Fortunately, you can use a wide range of equipment, which is irretrievably lost when you die. The game features an isometric point of view and the visuals are fully 3D, resembling popular post-apocalyptic productions, such as Fallout or Wasteland.
