My Lovely Wife
Part creature sim and part tragic horror, this unique title ultimately lets you, as the main protagonist Jake, deal with the loss of your significant other in more macabre ways than usual. My Lovely Wife is a twisted kind of dating sim in that you'll perform dark rituals to bring your wife Luna back from the dead - the only problem is that you'll have to summon succubi and sacrifice them to craft a vessel for her deceased soul.
The game also features multiple endings and a gothic fantasy art style, along with the ultimate choice of either letting go of your wife with a new love, or sacrificing everything to resurrect Luna.

Cat Sandbox
This adorable pixel-art game tasks you with the noblest quest ever in the history of mankind - saving cuddly cats by leading them back to their cardboard homes. You'll guide these feline friends across a variety of physics-based puzzles, where you can use everything from mines to bombs to carve pathways for them and watch as your masterpieces come to life and react with one another.
The game also features special stars you can collect as well as plenty of cosy vibes and a retro soundtrack to complete the nostalgic package.

This narrative-driven 2D action platformer features gorgeous pixelated worlds that stay true to the game's samurai-themed aesthetic, whether you're duking it out with other players in a one-on-one duel or testing your survival skills against hordes of endless foes in the Eclipse mode.
As a noble samurai, you can upgrade your abilities with a variety of Special Attacks, Skins, Elements, and fighting techniques across different characters. You can also test your reflexes in "The Path" mode, where you'll have to leap through obstacles in an endless runner-esque style where one wrong move means Game Over.

The choices you make will impact how the tale will go, with multiple branching narratives to discover with your chosen love interest.
