Another Tomorrow
Atmospheric point-and-click puzzle adventure Another Tomorrow forces you to put on your thinking cap as you navigate various dioramas to uncover the truth. While the single-player title is supposedly "a story of love and loss", you'll no doubt discover more than that as you go deeper into the narrative.
In particular, you'll take photos to solve puzzles via first-person exploration, as you try to find your bearings after waking up to a reality where your memories have failed. You'll traverse abandoned apartments, mysterious underground facilities and more to find the answer to the ultimate question: who are you?

Arrowmancer
This unique RPG from the developers of Waifu Labs puts players in the shoes of a space witch on a journey through the vastness of the galaxy. You'll travel across different planets in a "solarpunk" adventure, meeting colourful characters and even creating your own along the way.
As an AI-illustrated game, you can customise units, fuse them, and create characters via advanced machine learning features. You can even craft your own masterpiece from Waifulabs.com and import them into the game. Of course, witches you collect possess a wide variety of personalities, abilities, combat synergies and more, letting you engage in thrilling real-time battles across a 3x3 grid.

Bladed Fury
What would you do to avenge your father's death if you were framed for his murder? Bladed Fury follows the tale of Princess Ji as she fights to clear her name through battles of epic proportions. She's also on a quest to rescue her kidnapped sister, and will have to take down fearsome beasts along the way.
This hack-and-slash 2D action game features gorgeous visuals inspired by Chinese mythology, along with a themed musical score in the background to make each adrenaline-pumping combo during combat all the more exhilarating.

Flash Party is a colourful action brawler where players can duke it out in 1v1, 2v2, Brawl, Soccer Showdown and Arena battles through multi-platform areas. The goal is to knock your opponent off the stage first before they take you out.
Players will also be able to unlock different KO effects, plus cool in-game costumes and coins to redeem special goodies. There are different varieties when it comes to character combos that suit different playstyles, as well as special maps with victory conditions that highlight the hometowns of the heroes in the game.
