ADVENTURE THROUGH WEIRD WORLDS WITH WEIRD PEOPLE!

GENRE: SURREAL, ADVENTURE, SINGLEPLAYER, EXPLORATION

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, MAC, LINUX, STEAM DECK

ENA: Dream BBQ is a surreal, artsy, and totally bizarre adventure where you play as ENA, a girl who’s kind of just... drifting through strange, dreamlike realities.

You’re supposed to be looking for the mysterious “Boss,” but you’ll end up doing odd jobs, solving weird problems with even weirder tools, and interacting with a bunch of delightfully unhinged characters along the way.

The game is packed with surreal visuals, glitchcore vibes, and a heavy dose of absurd humor, all wrapped in a world that feels like a playable fever dream.

If you’re into trippy storytelling, offbeat comedy, and exploring places that make zero sense in the best way possible, this one’s for you.

Oh, and good luck being the least popular person at every party. It’s kind of your thing.

Better yet, it is completely free!

This is supposed to be the first episode in the series and I’m really looking forward to seeing more entries from the team.

BUBBLE POPPING MAGIC!

GENRE: ACTION, CASUAL, ARCADE, ACTION ROGUELIKE, 2D

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, LINUX

Orb Tower is what happens when classic bubble-popping games get hit with a roguelike magic spell.

You pick a magical school, grab your staff, and click your way through hundreds of handcrafted levels full of colorful orbs, tricky combos, and spell-powered chaos.

The game keeps it super simple—just one button to play—but layers in tons of cool stuff like boss fights, magical items, and unique powers depending on your build.

The pixel art is charming and it’s the kind of game you can play for five minutes or get totally hooked on for hours.

Whether you're a bubble shooter veteran or just looking for a cozy, spell-slinging time-killer, Orb Tower is a blast.

CLASSIC ARCADE CHAOS!

GENRE: BULLET HELL, SHOOT ‘EM UP, DIFFICULT, SHOOTER, 2D

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, MAC, LINUX, STEAM DECK, SWITCH

Bit Blaster XL is a super addictive, retro-style arcade shooter where your ship never stops moving, and dodging is just as important as blasting enemies into space dust.

Inspired by old-school hits like Asteroids and Galaxian, it’s easy to pick up, but once you’re chasing high scores, good luck putting it down.

You’ll zoom around collecting ammo and power-ups, dodging bullets, and unlocking new ships with their own playstyles.

The gameplay’s tight, the soundtrack is great, and the whole vibe is '80s arcade nostalgia.

Great for quick sessions or long “just one more run” spirals.

DON’T LOOK OUTSIDE!

GENRE: RPG, ADVENTURE, SURVIVAL HORROR, HORROR, 2D

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC, STEAM DECK

Look Outside is a creepy survival horror RPG where just glancing out the window turns people into monsters.

You’re stuck in one apartment building, scavenging for food, tools, and makeshift weapons while avoiding the grotesque things lurking in the halls—and trying not to lose your mind.

You’ll go on tense supply runs, battle over 150 freaky creatures in a unique turn-based combat system, and slowly build up your apartment into a safe haven.

Along the way, you’ll meet a bunch of strange, unsettling characters—some helpful, some very much not—and try to piece together what the hell is going on out there.

It’s moody, bizarre, body-horror-heavy, and full of wild surprises. If you're into creepy vibes, resource management, and horror with a side of surreal, this is perfect for you.

A ROGUELIKE DECKBUILDER ABOUT DECKBUILDING!

GENRE: TIME MANAGEMENT, CLICKER, BUILDING, DECKBUILDING

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS: PC

ROGUE LIGHT DECK BUILDER is a weird, oddly hypnotic game about literally building a deck—like, with wood and nails—while chasing the dream of making a million bucks. You’ve got a hammer, a faulty light, and a goal: freedom = $1,000,000.

You swing your hammer, whack in nails, upgrade your tools, and try not to lose your streak (or your mind).

There are bugs. You squash them. Then upgrade them. Then squash them again. It’s part run-based sim, part existential nail-pounding fever dream, and somehow it works.

Build. Upgrade. Repeat.
