Cain’s Island

A Nordic dark fantasy Metroidvania where players explore a cursed island through two perspectives: side-scrolling combat and exploration by day, and a top-down, non-combat city by night. Hunt creatures twisted by the island’s curse and confront legendary beings from unexplored Norse mythology, then return to a living town to trade, gather quests, and prepare for the next expedition. Uncover a story of exile and loss as you search for your missing brother.

Dumb Ways to Fly

Dumb Ways to Fly is a chaotic 2-player co-op adventure where teamwork is your only way to survive. One of you steers the balloon while the other keeps its weight in check, because drift too high or too low, and it’s game over. Dodge obstacles, outmaneuver enemies, and when things get intense, team up to fight back: one aims, one fires. Stay in sync… or crash trying.
