In a creaky old tavern, in a forgotten corner of the video-game universe, a storm is raging...

A murder mystery adventure game that combines elements from all manner of game types as several washed-up ersatz game characters are investigated for a crime. 

An FMV/Adventure hybrid set in the human brain
Adventure

A really unique adventure game that incorporates real video footage and animation. Play as two aspects of a damaged brain, working together to heal the self. 

An action-adventure game about digging for fossils and building your own dinosaurs!
Adventure

Explore, dig, and unearth fossils that can then be creatively assembled. The controls are a bit squishy and frustrating, but the concept is very engaging and fun.

If every step was one year of your life, which path would you take?
Strategy

A really unique concept -- a tactical RPG played out over multiple generations. Explore a procedurally generated map one step at a time, with each square representing one year of your life. You have to fight monsters and find treasure to secure renown, but be sure you retire from hero-work in time to fall in love and settle down because your child will be the hero. Wealth and skills accrue across generations, so gameplay is always done with an eye toward leaving a better world for your kids. Compulsively playable, equal parts puzzle, strategy and RPG. 

A comedy written in the stars
Adventure

A strategy game about the historical figure Simon Forman -- an Elizabethan-era astrologer. Dispense medical and other advice to a variety of townspeople by consulting with the stars (and listening for clues in their stories). Fully voice-acted and with a really charming pop-up-book art style. 

Write commandments to guide your followers towards survival!
Simulation

A god-simulation -- literally -- where you can influence your followers and the development of their civilization by laying down commandments. Similar in spirit to Black & White, but more logic-based. You have limited commandment-producing abilities, and the madlib-style of completing them presents a unique challenge, but you can develop as you go. 

A game about life, family, and the choices we make.
Adventure

A struggling novelist, a summer home, a family looking for a fresh start, and a ghost -- sound familiar? Here's the twist: YOU are the ghost...and you just want to help. Explore the house, invade memories, possess light fixtures, spy on the family, and gently guide them toward making the right choices. 

A game about the dragon within us all. Become Draak, and rejoice.
Role Playing

A beautiful and well-written narrative RPG about being a dragon. Hunt, fight, collect treasure, explore  and develop your abilities. Gorgeous art and lovingly crafted world-building make this something really special. The mechanics also encourage experimentation. Even if you die, you learn from it and carry skills forward to your next play-through, so no time is wasted. I can and will lovingly sink hours into this game.
