Thrifty Business is a shop management simulator developed by Spellgarden Games. If that name sounds familiar to you, it's because they released Ritual of Raven in 2025, which was one of my favourite games of last year.

Coffee Talk: Tokyo is more talk than coffee and tells the story, over 15 night shifts in an old-school cozy cafe, of a variety of regular customers from all walks of life (and death)

Zero Parades centers on Hershel, codenamed Cascade—a spy who finds herself back in the field after a prior job went awry for reasons we're not yet privy to. Unfortunately, her new assignment is starting out no better as she arrives in the city of Portofiro to find her partner, Pseudopod, “zeroed out”—alive, yet mysteriously unresponsive.

RoadOut has you playing as Claire, a walking cliché of a tough, snarky mercenary who survives, if perhaps not thrives, in a desert wasteland called The Dead Zone. The Dead Zone is populated by three rival factions that all have work to dish out for anybody willing to put themselves in harm’s way.

Deadhaus Sonata is a self-described, “narrative-driven action RPG” that, alongside the leadership of Dyack, is being created by a small indie team of around 10 called Apocalypse Studios.

all of the Elder Gods begins in the shoes of Evangeline Drayton, who’s being haunted by a recurring dream where she’s drawn to a mysterious artifact. She's also, concerningly, missing a few months - having befallen a bizarre ailment where she was walking, talking, and interacting with those around her but retaining no memory of it.

Scattered Hopes is set around the beginning of the reboot, as the Cylons re-emerge for the first time in 40 years, nuke all the human colonies, and use a backdoor into the humans’ systems to take out any of the modern ships in the fleet.

In MOTORSLICE, you’ll control P, and no, that is not a reminder to clench; it is, in fact, the name of our mysterious lead character. Now that we’ve established this section of the review is going to sound awkward, P is cute, bubbly, funny, and extremely acrobatic, while also sometimes referred to as a Slicer.

Aphelion takes us to a distant future where climate change has all but completely destroyed Earth, and dual protagonists Ariane and Thomas are headed to the distant frozen planet of Persephone.

The Spell Brigade has been in Early Access since September 2024 and is finally dropping into its version 1.0 this week.

While Tides of Tomorrow is indeed a choice-driven narrative adventure, it also melds together other gaming genres with its inclusion of chase sequences, boat racing and combat, stealth sections, and even a decent amount of platforming and exploration. It also contains some truly unique systems outside of story-focused norms, most notably its story-link feature, which results in choices that other real-world players make impacting your personal journey.

Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege is what you cool kids would call a “Classicvania.” There are 21 linear stages to spear your way through, stiff movements and controls that reek of NES design philosophy, knockbacks (if you so wish), annoying enemy patterns, tough level design, and of course, sub-weapons and screen-clearing power-ups.

Sintopia is a sim game all about taking control of Hell, to build a profitable and effective corporation that cleanses sinners of their sins before sending them back to the overworld. However, unlike other sim games of a similar type, you also need to manipulate the citizens of the overworld to ensure no demons appear, the ruler is on your side, and that your hell enterprise always has a healthy flow of new souls.

Ground Zero is VERY MUCH a classic survival horror game in the style of OG Resident Evil, you know, the game that gets most of the credit when it was in fact Alone in the Dark that implemented a lot of the mechanics we know and love?

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss stars Noah, who is stuck in the very Dead Space-ian scenario of having to investigate a Pacific undersea mining station after communication with their crew cuts out. But the key difference here is that Noah isn't much of a fighter - rather, your greatest weapon will be your problem-solving skills and, perhaps, your patience.

Mouse: PI for Hire places you in the shoes of Jack Pepper, not only the game's gruff, hard-boiled detective fantastically brought to life by renowned voice actor Troy Baker, but just one of many, MANY cheese-themed jokes the game has to offer.

REPLACED immediately sets the tone as an action-packed experience. The game opens on our protagonist, well, at least the body of our protagonist, Warren Marsh, putting in the hours at Phoenix Corporation in late 1984.

AI is notoriously bad, kind of sloppy, and also a bit dumb, but not in Morbid Metal as you play as the last AI created by an all-powerful and kind of bossy entity known as the Operator, a being who aggressively sasses you the whole time, instructing you to take down the rogue AIs that inhabit this mysterious collapsing simulation.

Hozy is a casual and relaxing decorating sim that features 9 different diorama-like rooms, all with their own vibes and stories, which require a certain amount of TLC to get looking their best. The entire game took me just under 3 hours to finish, so this one certainly is bite-sized, but what it perhaps lacks in depth it certainly makes up for in its visual appeal.
