It's advisable that you don't fear death – it's in fact a necessary component if you wish to get closer to the end. Lab Rags offers a unique take on the genre and will definitely sharpen up your problem-solving skills.
Prison Simulator: Prologue
Prison Simulator is a tense action/adventure where you take the role of a guard trying to keep the inmates in check.

This is a short but entertaining prologue to the upcoming game, and we can't wait for the full version to come out.
Lost Ruins
Next, we have a cute action Metroidvania. In it, you take the role of a young girl with amnesia who has to go on a journey to uncover the mysteries of Lost Ruins. To do this, you will have to strategically slash through waves of bloodthirsty monsters. Luckily, you'll have a dozen of weapons at your disposal, such as axes, swords, and magic spells that make your job easier. In short, Lost Ruins is a smart and engaging action platformer that has a unique combat style that will reward you if you are patient.
Lacuna
Lacuna is a sci-fi noir adventure with an amazing story. You play as Neil Conrad, a CDI agent tasked with stopping a brewing interplanetary war. This ain't easy to do, and you will have to constantly make tough decisions that will shape the story. Lacuna sets up a tense atmosphere from the start, with a lot of mysteries that will have you engaged right till the end.
