About these games

Owlboy

Owlboy is a story-driven platform adventure in which you fly through and explore a new world among the clouds. The hero is the mute Otus, who struggles to live up to the expectations of owl-hood, and matters go from bad to worse with the sudden arrival of sky pirates. You can pick up and carry objects as well as friends, recruiting Otus’s companions as gunners, each with their own abilities and stories. The journey leads through monster-infested ruins, unexpected encounters and well kept secrets into large dungeons with big, challenging boss fights, mixing flight with platforming.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

An action-adventure set in a gorgeous hand-painted world, following the mysterious warrior Dust in a search for his true identity. The journey runs from peaceful glades to snowy mountaintops. Dust wields the mythical Blade of Ahrah, which turns its wielder into an unstoppable force of nature, and is accompanied by the blade’s diminutive guardian, Fidget. Players fight dozens of enemies at once, take on quests from villagers, and explore a massive open world with nonlinear platforming while uncovering the story of an ancient civilization on the brink of extinction.

LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias

LostWinds 2: Winter of the Melodias continues the award-winning LostWinds and returns players to the land of Mistralis, where they can instantly switch between summer and winter. Frozen ponds and waterfalls turn into deep, teeming summer pools and chambers to dive into and uncover secrets, while enemies can be frozen or doused. New abilities include a cyclone, used to carry Toku, smash strong enemies and drill through rocks in the Chilling Peaks and Melodia City areas.

The Messenger

As a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja travels through a cursed world to deliver a scroll on which his clan’s survival depends. What starts as a classic action platformer gradually expands into a large time-travel adventure full of tension, surprises, and humor. The player moves through dynamic, acrobatic gameplay, gains character upgrades and new abilities, and discovers hidden levels and branching paths. The game features offbeat villains, bosses, and associates, and its original chiptune soundtrack by Rainbowdragoneyes was made with Famitracker.

Flynn: Son of Crimson

Flynn: Son of Crimson is a handcrafted 2D action platformer set on the peaceful island of Rosantica, threatened once more by a relentless evil. The magical barrier between Rosantica and The Scourge is cracking, letting dangerous creatures seep back in; Flynn stumbles upon the invasion and resolves to stand against it. At his side fights Dex, a mythical guardian spirit of the land who crushes walls and cuts through enemy hordes. Players explore Rosantica’s regions, collect relics, master Crimson Energy and enter the dark world of The Scourge to face Zealock and dagger-wielding Rozia.

9 Years of Shadows

9 Years of Shadows is a side-scrolling Metroidvania by Halberd Studios. The player guides Europa, a warrior entering the mechanical giant Talos to stop the corruption before darkness swallows the world and to restore color to the land. There she befriends Apino, a floating bear who cleanses corruption, shoots varied projectiles and shields his allies. Switching fire, water, earth and lightning armors lets players traverse the map, and halberd combos carry the fights. The score includes work by Miguel Hasson, Michiru Yamane and Norihiko Hibino.
