Look Outside isn’t your typical survival horror RPG — it’s a psychological nightmare wrapped in cosmic terror and body horror. Developed by an indie team with a knack for unsettling experiences, this game throws you into the confines of a dimly lit apartment building where reality is unraveling.

Keep Driving is a delightful mix of a road trip simulator and a roguelike deck-building game set in the early 2000s. You play as a newly licensed driver heading to a music festival, but the journey is anything but straightforward.

With resource management, random events, and branching choices, Keep Driving feels like a perfect blend of strategy and storytelling. Each run is unique, and the choices you make — from what items to pack…

Atomfall is not your average post-apocalyptic survival game. Developed by Rebellion, the team behind the Sniper Elite series, this atmospheric action-adventure steps away from bullets and ballistics in favor of eerie storytelling, slow-burn exploration, and British weirdness. Imagine Fallout: New Vegas meets S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but set in a retro-futuristic 1960s version of the English countryside. Add cults, radiation, bartering, and a heavy folk-horror vibe, and you’ve got something both familiar and refreshingly different. This is a game that dares to trust the player — and in doing so, it offers something quite special… even if it comes with a few rough…

It’s less of a thrill ride and more of a slow walk back into a memory you didn’t realize you missed. Created by Don’t Nod, the team behind the original Life is Strange, Lost Records feels like a spiritual sibling—soaked in 90s aesthetics, filled with heartfelt dialogue, and brimming with character-driven storytelling. If you’ve ever loved a game for the emotions it stirred in you more than the mechanics…

Originally released by Rainbow Arts for the Commodore Amiga in 1990, X-Out was one of the era’s standout side-scrolling shooters. Now, thanks to ININ and Ziggurat, the game has been completely rebuilt, bringing improved graphics, an expanded soundtrack, quality-of-life upgrades, and a few surprises for both veteran fans and newcomers. But does X-Out: Resurfaced do enough to justify its return, or is it simply another nostalgia-driven remaster? Let’s take a deep dive.…
