puzzle, exploration, and simulation games with cool or refined mechanics.
A fascinating game more about problem-solving then puzzle solving, this game creates a fascinating world around its incredibly engaging, rewarding, but also super difficult challenges.
Amazing little puzzle game that can be seen a little bit akin to a game like The Magic Circle. Push blocks around to form rules that change the very nature of the mechanics. Disclaimer: Steam version has Workshop support.
A simple, short puzzle game with a very simple artstyle and a genuinely interesting and different puzzle mechanic. Would love a full game.
More of a toybox than a game, but encourages lots of exploration and critical thinking to find new things to play with. Includes itch exclusive content.
Basically Gwent in Minecraft. Not a functional prototype, but is an interesting twist on minigames inside Minecraft.
One of the few examples of a unique and fun Match 3 game, this one is an RPG where your attacks are line-up matches. Has a progression system and some fun strategy.
A game about cards, gambling, and magic with a lofi artstyle. Has an interesting mechanic where you can increase or decrease odds as "spells".
A simple game that will have you drawing roads to make traffic work. A little unpredictable and annoying to play, but transportation nerds will certainly have some fun with it.
An immersive, fascinating hack-em-up that deals with the actual moral implications of hacking for good or for fun, all while providing plenty of interesting detective puzzles and tests of logic. Has a DLC, Labyrinths, which is only available on Steam.
A weird, whimsical little game with a surprising amount of depth and exploration. Short, but absolutely pretty.
