Streets of Rogue

[gfycat data_id="CoolWastefulAlbacoretuna"][gfycat data_id="FavoriteSafeBlacknorwegianelkhound"][gfycat data_id="SilkyGrippingIrukandjijellyfish"]

“A rogue-lite about player choice, freedom, and anarchic fun. The game takes inspiration from fast-paced top-down rogue-lites like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne, and adds free-form, experimentation-driven, emergent gameplay elements of RPGs like Deus Ex. Rather than taking place in a dungeon, the game is set in a functioning, procedurally generated city, where complex AI informs denizens from all walks of life, who are just trying to get by in their daily activities.”

Still in early development for PC, you can watch this development blog video to get a bit more info on the game.

“An atmospheric horror adventure game that pulls you into a living dungeon where everything conspires against your escape. It is an immersive journey into the unknown, personified by the Darkness itself. Your odds of escape are slim, and when you fail, the dungeon will change before you can try again. Defend yourself from the Darkness with whatever light you can find; once your light burns out, the Darkness will consume you.”

developed Jasper Byrne

[gfycat data_id="CookedSatisfiedAlligatorsnappingturtle"][gfycat data_id="CloudyIncomparableDeer"][gfycat data_id="WellinformedAdmiredArrowworm"]

“An unusual mix of survival horror, stealth mechanics, adventure games, a virtual pet, a physical and psychological survival simulation and a truly interactive story. The player is encouraged to role-play and forget about the game’s workings, while the story moulds to match the player’s actions. This is a game where your choices genuinely matter.”

Albino Lullaby: Episode 1

developed by ApeLaw

[gfycat data_id="BlackFarBeetle"][gfycat data_id="BoringUntriedGrosbeak"][gfycat data_id="IndolentEducatedDowitcher"]

“A horror adventure game that doesn’t rely on jump scares or gore. A Lynchian psychological nightmare where you play as yourself. Escape from a dark and surreal Victorian town that clings to the precipices of underground cliffs. The gamespace dynamically twists and contorts around you in real time, as you unravel an equally twisted narrative. Discover the hidden spaces haunted by ‘The Grandchildren’ as you uncover clues to understanding just where and what you are.”
