MIMESIS

MIMESIS Banner Image

Four-player co-op survival horror game MIMESIS makes players repair a failing tram while a creature copies their voices, behavior, and memories.

Net Worthless

Net Worthless Banner Image

Satirical turn-based life-and-money sim Net Worthless treats one ordinary month as one turn, asking you to budget hours, work, invest, and outlive inflation instead of walking around town.

Each character starts with a different goal and deadline, from a student with more ambition than furniture to a laid-off worker with severance and a grudge, then watches paydays, bills, and quarterly surprises hit the plan.

Rent ignores your luck, forgotten subscriptions keep charging, and parody stocks like Snoogle, Charbucks, and Nokla can beat a salary for a year before one red month takes it all back.
