Physics-heavy skateboarding, text-driven adventure, time-spanning journey…all those and other genres share the page in this collection of Screenshot Saturday Highlights.
Session
Crea-ture Studios | PC
Inspired by the realistic style of popular series Skate, Session looks to be an indie successor to that kind of precision tricks and physics-driven movement. Across stairs and rails, city streets and under overpasses, you’ll pull off carely-timed combos and chain together long-scoring strings of skateboarding tricks.
Boyfriend Dungeon
Kitfox Games | PC | 2019
Blending romance sim and hack-n-slash, Boyfriend Dungeon drops you into monster-filled procedural labyrinths, seeking out loot. Not just for higher stats, but because your weapons are embodied by individuals to date and romance once out of the dungeon, and successful romances lead to leveling-up your favorite weapons.
Guard Duty
Sick Chicken | PC
Guard Duty is set in a fantasy world, two versions of the same world in fact. One in the medieval past, the other in the dystopian magical future, but across both, you’ll solve tricky puzzles, find unique items, and explore open worlds in a pixel-art adventure game inspired by LucasArts and Sierra titles.
The Papered House
PaperedHouseDev | PC | Late 2017
A first person horror game, The Papered House dares you to explore its shadowy halls, where mysterious caves, eerily-lit doorways, and a full moon all create an atmosphere of unsettling haunted manor.
The Ballad Singer
Curtel Games | PC, iOS | 2018
Expanding upon the digital interactive fiction and gamebook resurgence, The Ballad Singer offers a text-based adventure where multiple player and stories intertwine, featuring hundreds of choices throughout that can lead to 40 different endings. All your narrative choices are complemented by detailed artwork of Singer’s fantasy world.
