CrossCode
Hi! Lea! CrossCode is a single player action adventure game, but it’s set in the world of a futuristic MMORPG. Its kinda like Sword Art Online but actually a good game. The combat system is incredibly in-depth, and the world design and story is so nice to get lost in. The story of the game…

Shapez
Shapez is the single most distilled form of a factory building and simulation game I have ever played. Most other games of the genre have something extra adding friction to the game, such as resource or money costs, enemies trying to break your stuff, having to manage a power grid, or even having to play…
