itch.io

Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.

Focused on using its text, moreso than its visuals or audio, to tell the bulk of its story/plot. (Still can have great audio and visuals, though!)

Utilized combat systems where characters or teams take turns making their next move. Turns often have no time limit, allowing for a greater opportunity to think about strategy. The opposite of real-time combat.
