In an desperate attempt to get help from Earth, you use an eclipse to mask your ship's escape. But tragically, you crashland on an unknown hostile planet, and your ship is in pieces.

3. Photopia by Adam Cadre (as Opal O'Donnell) (1998) Average member rating: (589 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
You and the author tell a story together about two girls: Alley and Wendy. It is a bittersweet puzzleless story that weaves together both pleasant fantasy and the tragedy of lost potential. Many of the story's chapters are color-coded, and the uncolored sections are presented out of chronological order.
In this escape game, you play as the Marchioness Laurentina, kidnapped by the cruel Count Chiropterio to languish in his castle's dungeon, with a chain locked to your wrist and a rotten corpse as your benchmate, until you sign away your very soul. A fouler fate cannot be imagined!
In this small game of magical espionage, you play as Valentre of Lucenza, a spy teleported into a strongroom in Piostro to steal a recently-excavated weapon of the Antediluvians that makes things vanish. "Recover the relic, recover Manzio if you can, and get out of the palace."
6. Epic Expedition, by dgtziea (2026) Average member rating: (3 ratings) David Welbourn says:
In this simple game, all humans now live in outer space. As part of a expedition studying the ancient terrestrials, your ship drops you off to find and capture a small lifeform detected somewhere inside this old "Epic Burger" building. After the scientists study the specimen, they will release it unharmed.
7. The Gnomish Treasury by Lamp Post Projects (2026) Average member rating: (3 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this cozy crafting game, you play as Nat Nimblebrush, the custodian of the royal treasury. Three crates of gnomish artifacts from a human warlord's fortress have been carried into your workshop. It is your task to repair and label the artifacts, and then display them in the king's galleries. It's also a chance to impress your boss, your king, and your mentor.
8. Violet by Jeremy Freese (2008) Average member rating: (418 ratings)
David Welbourn says:
In this one-room romantic comedy, you play as an easily-distracted 30-year-old graduate student in their on-campus Wisconsin office. I'm your vivacious and talented girlfriend, Violet. I hate that I had to give you an ultimatum, dundeecake, especially on your birthday, but your procrastination gave me no choice. Write a thousand words for your dissertation today or I'm flying back to Australia tomorrow morning. To help encourage you, I'm here, in spirit, as the game's narrator. Please, wallaroo, just WRITE. For us? For me?
