LUCAH is a stylish and sinister dungeon crawling action RPG with dark, claustrophobic world design, freaky monsters, cryptic narrative beats, tactical Dark Souls-esque combat and superb audio design, which all combines to create a tension you could cut with a knife. Highly recommended dark and deadly dungeon crawling.

Orb Lands is a beautiful and chilled out first person shooter in which you’re dropped into randomized low poly environments and must hunt down the mysterious floating orbs that inhabit them.

Cosmic League is an exciting massively multiplayer Anime 3rd person shooter that features 10 v 10 combat between robots and humans (or ‘humes’), as both sides battle to win the ultimate prize - a Cosmic Fragment.

Art Games At SAIC: A Retrospective is an impressive virtual museum full of surreal, strange and beautiful artwork, virtual sculptures and interactive exhibits.

Created by students of the 2015 SAIC Art Game class, Art Games At SAIC: A Retrospective houses all the work they did over the semester in one interactive virtual environment. As you explore the museum, you’re never sure what’s coming next, with surprising and spectacular art forms in every room - from massive dancing babies, to a squadron of origami swans. These virtual artworks draw contemplation, analysis, interactivity and real enjoyment as you experience art forms that couldn’t be done in any other form of media.

Art Games At SAIC: A Retrospective really is a fantastic way to showcase virtual artwork that we’d love to see more of in the future. The ‘are games art?’ argument feels absolutely futile now. Bursting with creativity, visual spectacle, intelligent design, unique artwork and interactivity - this is the art museum of the future.

Fictions (spotted by Indie Statik) is an interesting expolration and stealth game that has been made as a Pre-Alpha build for the upcoming game, Somewhere and inspired by the book “The Approach to Al-Mu’Tasim” by Luis Borges.

Fictions (and Somewhere) has a beautifully surreal visual style, set in a small barren dessert, with floating buildings, burried tellephones, lots of clocks and odd looking gangly characters. It’s great fun exploring the area, discovering new oddites and strange artworks.

Other than the wonderfully strange art style, the other main hook is the ’character flip‘ game mechanic. This allows you sneak up behind other characters and swap places with them, allowing you to experience the world from their perspective. It’s a great concept, that’s central to the gamplay, and makes for a greatly satisfying experience.
