Risimon (PC)
The aesthetic may look familiar, but Risimon is an irreverent take on creature-collector games… with a decidedly more adult plot. As a completely uncharismatic “kidult,” you must begrudgingly train up your creatures and embark upon an adventure full of clever comedy and satire.
Rhythm Towers (PC)
Part hip-hop rhythm game, part tower defense, you’ll need to keep the creeps at bay _ while keeping the beat! You may be a failed alien pop star, but you’ve got a greater job now: saving Planet Rhapsody from destructive music-haters.
Duppy Detective Tashia (PC)
It’s a detective game with a twist _ someone has stolen your shadow! Interview colorful suspects in a ghostly market, track their movements through beautiful locations, and solve a mystery based on Caribbean folklore.
