by Ryan Veeder and Harrison Gerard
(2020)
Average member rating: (12 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

In this charming light-horror game set in Opasassa, Florida, you play as Rebecca ("Becca") Drapkin, a normal teenager who discovers scales are growing on her shoulders and shins. Your best friend, Zoe, suggests talking to Miss Muriel about it. You were afraid she'd say that.

2. Napier's Cache

(2020)
Average member rating: (13 ratings)

David Welbourn says:

Scotland, 1594. John Napier is a famed scholar, alchemist, and occultist recently hired by Robert Logan of Restalrig to find a treasure hidden in Fast Castle. In this story, you play as Napier's assistant. Success will bring rich rewards. Failure is too terrifying to contemplate.

In this homage to classic arcade games, you play as a kid in a video arcade, but after hours since the older boys wouldn't let you use the machines during the day. Another young boy, Eric, is here too. Can you win at every game in the building and take over Eric's top spot on the highscore board?
