A CHARMING VAMPIRE PLATFORMER!

GENRE: 2D PRECISION PLATFORMER, PUZZLE PLATFORMER, CHARMING

I was recommended this aweomse platformer and I’m glad that I was.

It has so much character and charm.

I think it deserves more attention than it has.

Desvelado is a fast-paced 2D platformer where you play as Vampy, a cranky vampire who can’t sleep until every light in his castle is off.

Jump, dash, and solve tricky puzzles while dodging hyper ghosts that keep turning the lights back on.

With over 100 handcrafted rooms, bonus levels, collectibles, and spooky surprises, it’s a challenging mix of precision platforming and brain-teasing fun.

Turn off the lights, dodge danger, and finally crawl into your coffin—but good luck getting there in one piece!

If you like a good mix of puzzles, platforming, and spooky fun, Desvelado is a great pick!

A TOP TIER SMASH ‘EM UP (WITH JAZZ)

GENRE: ACTION, TOP DOWN, VIOLENCE, INTENSE

Another fantastic game that I recommend (especially for anyone who likes Hotline Miami) is Ape Out.

This is a literal beast of a game. The action hits beat by beat. You play as an Ape on a rampage for freedom.

Bash, grab, and throw your captors as you tear through procedurally generated levels, using them as weapons and shields.

Not only is the action top tier, so is the art direction and game score.

With bold, colorful visuals and a dynamic drum-heavy soundtrack that syncs to your destruction, it’s a wild, rhythmic, and endlessly stylish escape.

A must play in my opinion.

GENRE: CUTE, CASUAL, LIFE SIM, RELAXING

Minami Lane is a cozy, casual management sim where you build and customize your own adorable, Japanese-inspired street.

Add shops like ramen stands, boba cafes, and bookstores, attract happy villagers (and plenty of cats and tanukis), and manage everything from shop inventory to street cleanliness.

Complete missions to unlock new buildings, meet villager needs, and create the most wholesome little neighborhood!

With 2-4 hours of playtime, this is the perfect feel-good game for fans of chill, strategic fun.

No cooking skills needed—just a love for chill brain-teasers and adorable parenthood moments.

It’s the perfect mix of food, fun, and feels!

AN INTENSE HORROR TRILOGY!

GENRE: ADVENTURE, HORROR, POINT & CLICK, SCI-FI

The Don't Escape Trilogy is a classic point-and-click anthology where survival means locking yourself in rather than breaking out.

Solve clever puzzles in three standalone horror adventures: secure a cabin to protect a village from your werewolf self, fortify a hideout before zombies attack, and uncover a gruesome mystery aboard a silent spaceship.

With eerie vibes, creative challenges, and multiple solutions, this anthology from Scriptwelder is perfect for a spooky night in.
