Into the Rift

developed by Weston Tracy  |  Platforms: Windows, iOS


“A game with parkour, melee combat and pixel art.”

“You’ll be a lone adventurer, running, jumping and fighting your way to restore a splintered society. Half of which are bent on destroying you.”

“All born in Sky Valley are born with wildness. Is it tempered by the knowledge of exploration or is it tempered by the promise of myth? The time has come to choose a path: the flowing tapestry of discovery or the statued certainty of tradition. Between these two lies The Rift.”

Beglitched

developed by Hexecutable (Jenny & AP)  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac


“A game about insecurity, in our computers and ourselves. In a pastel world of networks where nobody truly knows what they’re doing, hacking is a magical art and the notorious Glitch Witch is the most premium archmagi of the net.

“Through what appears to be nothing more than random circumstance, YOU are her new apprentice. You must use your wits and cunning to unravel the mechanisms of an alien computer and survive amongst a veritable web of clowns, leftclickers, and filedraggers.”

Retro-Pixel Castles

developed by Raymond Doerr  |  Platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux


“A godlike village simulator designed to bridge the gap between the complexities of village simulation with the simplicity of classic 1990s real-time strategy.”

“A major part of the game is village management, and trying to discover new and creative ways to use the tools at your disposal to keep yourself alive as long as possible. In this game, you will lose frequently, but with every failure you learn a little bit more about how to survive, and apply that knowledge to your next attempt.”
