About these games
You play as the outlaw ‘Interstate Jackalope’, crossing mythic America along its highways on a quest to face the world’s greatest driver. The story branches according to your decisions and offers multiple endings. Along the way you manage fuel, car condition and focus, and choose whether to help strangers, join street races, or evade the police. Visually, the game uses a black-and-white comic style with colourful accents, and the music consists of jazz and rock.
A post-apocalyptic adventure, told in five chapters, about travelling a dying world by train. You keep the locomotive running and look after your passengers so that you reach the next station, and at every stop you search abandoned or inhabited stations for supplies while the infected try to stop you. Shooting your way through the hordes is no option, as ammunition and supplies are very limited, so you scavenge, craft items and sell loot at inhabited stations for weapon upgrades. Survivors you take aboard bring perks as well as drawbacks — you can help them reach their destination, or let them die and take their belongings.
The Red Lantern is a narrative survival game centred on dog sledding. You play as the Musher, who rashly decides to start a new life and, together with her best friend Chomper, assembles a team of sled dogs to find her way home. Gameplay revolves around managing resources, caring for the dogs through hunting for meat, camp care and rest, and learning from failures. After reaching the cabin, you can keep training and adopting dogs, or relax in Zen Mode and simply let the dogs run.
Flashback is a choice-driven strategy game. You play as a deliveryman living for a month in a turbulent city, meeting characters whose fates intertwine. Your decisions change your attributes, which also shift slowly over time; if they drop to zero or rise too high, you reach a bad ending or something special. You can hand an event over to another personality, which lowers your attributes but raises your level, and the level can affect certain situations. On Day 30, the story either ends or sends you back to the first day.
Mesmer is an unusual revolution simulator and social survival game set in a city divided among five factions, where every encounter counts. The King has turned the nation into a police state: citizens face rationing and curfew, farmland now grows Paciflowers with mindbending powers, and dissenters get spite masks full of them, called ‘Horsing’, that strip their individuality. As Teri De Belle, an adventurer branded an enemy of the state, you end up leading the revolution: win people over with charm or blackmail, dodge the night guard, speak at Crowdhorns and march on the royal castle.
