1000xRESIST

Thrilling sci-fi adventure 1000xRESIST invites players to its alternate universe in a year unknown, where humanity has been wiped from existence due to a disease carried by a giant alien species known as The Occupants. All traces of humanity are gone…except for one lone society built underground. A society full of clones from the last pure human being, called the ALLMOTHER, who was immune from the disease, thrives within. You are one of these clones, the Watcher, tasked with reliving and interpreting the memories of the ALLMOTHER through Communion. However, trouble brews…the ALLMOTHER is not what she claims to be. And your world as you know it, is shattered. Discover the truth, diving into the great being’s memories, to find out what really happened years ago, and the truth of your whole existence.

1000xRESIST is available for $15.99 USD, 20% off from its original price.

Beacon Pines

Don’t let the cuteness of the characters fool you! Beacon Pines is the proper mix of cute…and creepy, where the whole adventure is set within the confines of a mysterious book that you have the power to alter. You will play as both the book’s reader and its main character Luka, a curious little deer boy. Something strange is lurking at the town’s old warehouse, and it’s up to Luka and his friends to get to the bottom of it all! Play through several story branches, collecting words and clues that can help you and Luka in another story path, then opening up new paths to tread on. The fate of Beacon Pines is in your hands!

The Stillness Of The Wind

On the other side of the spectrum of games comes The Stillness of the Wind, a quiet game about life and loss. Follow the life of Talma, an elderly woman who lives a simple and solitary life in a now quiet village after everyone, including her family, left for the hustle of the city. Take care of your farm and tend to your plants and animals, making cheese with goat’s milk, collecting eggs from your chickens, and making meals with the healthy vegetables that you grow. Barter and chat with the traveling merchant who comes by every once in a while, who also brings letters from your family in the city. Life in the city isn’t all as amazing as they thought it would be, it seems. But here you are…miles away. And alone. Join Talma on the last legs of her journey in this emotional tale.

The Stillness of the Wind can be purchased at 85% off retail price, for $1.94 USD.

Suzerain

In this choose-your-own-adventure-style visual novel, players will assume the role of Anton Rayne, the President of Sordland, in a time of turmoil. As the country has just gotten out of a traditionalist regime ruled by the royal family, the citizens of Sordland demand democratic reform. However, that is already on top of an ongoing recession alongside the watchful eyes of the rival states around you, and the challenging transition to economic liberalization under a new government is proving to be easier said than done. Embark on this journey as President Rayne, and make critical decisions to shape the future of your nation…while also attending to your own family. The fate of Sordland rests in your capable hands. Best of luck to you, President Rayne.

Suzerain is available for 75% off at $4.99 USD. Its DLC, Kingdom of Rizia, is also on sale for 10% off at $8.99 USD if you would like to take your political conquests farther and as a different character.

FRAMED Collection

Put those noggins to the test in this noir-styled adventure-puzzle game! The FRAMED Collection tasks players to rearrange the misordered panels of an animated comic book featuring a noir-styled spy adventure. As you change the order of the comic panels, the outcome of each page will also change. This may lead to either comedic blunders, untimely deaths, or a flawless and stylish heist or escape. Solve these puzzles while jamming to a very fitting live jazz soundtrack, which surely gets you into the feel of a noir adventure.

FRAMED Collection is a compilation of both the original FRAMED and FRAMED 2, and can be purchased for 80% off at $1.99 USD. A good deal for two games in one!
