1. The Horror of Goldmine City
by Gianluca Girelli

Average member rating: (1 rating)

David Welbourn says:

In this sci-fi horror game, you again play as Murray Shannon. After saving the world from aliens in Creek Town, you set up a secret society to lookout for another invasion. A psychic alerts you to Goldmine City. There were reports of strange lights and sounds there before earthquakes all but wiped the place off the map. It's up to you to investigate.

David Welbourn says:

In this game of political brokering and cryptic wordplay, you play as the vampire Lephrea of the Sect of Thorns. Tonight you will achieve your greatest triumph by becoming the newest member of Kansas City's Board of Regents. All you need to do is secure three votes from the remaining members and gloat in Sabine's face.

3. Stooping to Diplomacy, by Ryan Veeder (2026)

David Welbourn says:

In this game filled with cryptic wordplay clues, you play as Lephrea, head of the Sect of Thorns, tasked by Atë, Queen of All Vampires, to form an alliance between your vampire clan and the animals of the Kansas City Zoo. To aid you in this task, you have your pendant, your tattoo, and an insufferable Ouija board.

4. Homo Sapiens
by Garry Francis
(2026)
Average member rating: (3 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this game, you play as a prehistoric man in a rainforest: naked, hairy, and afraid. You can't talk, but you can think and you can use tools. Your goals are simple: find food, shelter, and a mate. And survive, of course.

5. Immune System, by Naomi Abramowicz (2020)
David Welbourn says:

In this badly-coded, barely-there, ultra-minimal game, you play as an E. coli bacterium. You mission is to bypass three lines of defense and infect a human.

David Welbourn says:

In this abuse, there's no game file to download and there's no story to read, but there is a puzzle. The game's title is the entire game. That's the puzzle and there is an answer. Figure it out.

7. PURE
by PLAYPURPUR
(2025)
Average member rating: (9 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this short body-horror game, you play as the one rejected, the imperfect, the tarnished. If only the flesh you wear could be compounded into clay or ground into dirt. Then you could at least be useful. The Heir, smiling slightly, leads you into a dark dungeon. Soon, you will descend into something magnificent.

8. Vampire Ltd
by Alex Harby
(2020)
Average member rating: (25 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this game of revenge, you play as Nero Brashov, former nobleman, current vampire and businessman, but your many failures have forced you into reduced circumstances. Meanwhile, your rival and fellow vampire, Hadrian Alba, is gaining glory by promoting his stupid Moonlite device. What a liar he is. He's never cared about sustainable energy. Well, no matter what this Moonlite thing is, you're going to destroy it.

9. Zugzwang
by Vanessa Jygon, Eleanor Jimmy
(2024)
Average member rating: (8 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this small chess-themed game about skill-acquisition, you play as the Last Pawn deep in enemy territory. The sacrifices of your brothers-in-arms shall not be in vain. Learn the secret attacks of your foes and use them against each other until you become the weapon that was lost.
